Nvidia unveiled its RTX Spark "superchip" at Computex in Taipei on Sunday, marking the company's aggressive push into the $200 billion CPU market with a processor designed specifically for AI-powered PCs. The 1-petaflop chip will power a new generation of AI PCs from major manufacturers including ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI, with models from Acer and Gigabyte arriving shortly after. The company emphasized that these systems can securely run AI agents like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent in sandboxes developed jointly with Microsoft.
The RTX Spark PCs will feature robust local AI capabilities, including the ability to run versions of large language models directly on the machine without cloud dependency. Nvidia's RTX technology also promises enhanced performance for AI tasks, improved image quality, and AI feature support across more than 1,000 games and applications. Over 100 Windows software developers have already committed to supporting the new chip, with partners including Adobe, Blender, ComfyUI, Riot Games, and Xbox.
CEO Jensen Huang framed the launch as a fundamental shift in how users interact with computers. "With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask — and the PC does the work," he said in a press release, describing a future where traditional app launching, pointing, clicking, and typing become obsolete. The chips target both creative professionals producing AI content and traditional gamers seeking performance upgrades.
This Computex announcement follows Huang's May earnings call, where he told investors Nvidia had identified a massive $200 billion market in selling CPUs for AI applications beyond its established GPU business. He highlighted the Vera CPU, released earlier this year, which has already generated $20 billion in sales. Huang envisions a future where billions of AI agents will rely on computing tools similar to how humans use PCs today, positioning Nvidia to capture significant market share in this expanding sector.
