As the AI giant expands beyond the data center and into the personal computer market, Nvidia and Microsoft have announced a new category of Windows PCs powered by Nvidia’s RTX Spark chips.
The companies unveiled the new system at the Computex event in Taipei, positioning it as a PC built for AI applications and AI agents that can run directly on the device. These machines will be manufactured by companies such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, and MSI, with more than 30 laptop models and more than 10 desktop systems scheduled to arrive later this year.
“The PC is being reinvented,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “For 40 years, users have launched apps. Click, type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, your PC does the work for you. RTX Spark brings everything NVIDIA built (CUDA, RTX, AI platform) into one superchip: Local agents. Frontier models. Creative workflows. RTX gaming. Everything on your laptop. This is the new PC. Personal AI. It’s a computer.”
RTX Spark combines CPU, GPU, and AI processing capabilities into one platform. Nvidia says the chip delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and is designed to run AI models locally, allowing users to create content, develop software, play games, and use AI assistants without relying entirely on cloud infrastructure.
Huang described RTX Spark as “the most efficient PC chip ever made,” adding that it integrates NVIDIA’s AI and graphics technology into one system.
The announcement marks Nvidia’s most significant move yet into the Windows PC processor market, where it will compete with established players such as Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm. The company has dominated the AI boom through its graphics processors used in data centers, but its presence in mainstream personal computing has been limited.
Microsoft is positioning the new system as part of a broader push into AI-powered computing. The companies said the PCs will support AI agents that can understand context, interact with applications and perform tasks on behalf of users. “RTX Spark now enables the world’s most powerful, efficient, thin and light Windows PCs ever,” said Pavan Davuluri, Executive Vice President of Windows and Devices at Microsoft.
Nvidia also introduced OpenShell, an open source runtime designed to help developers build and deploy AI agents on Windows devices. The announcement reflects the tech industry’s broader shift from AI chatbots to AI agents that can complete complex tasks. By bringing AI processing directly to the PC, Nvidia and Microsoft are betting that future computing experiences will increasingly rely on local AI capabilities, not just cloud-based services.
