Later this year, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI will come out first with PCs based on the chip. Acer and GIGABYTE will follow.

The 14mm thick laptops, weighing 3lb, will come in 14- to 16-inch sizes using OLED displays with Nvidia G-SYNC technology.

Designed for AI, creating and gaming, RTX Spark combines CUDA,  RTX, DLSS, FP4, NVIDIA Tensor, Nvidia OptiX, Reflex and G-SYNC.

“The PC is being reinvented,” said Jensen Huang, “for forty years, you launched apps. Click. Type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask — and the PC does the work. RTX Spark brings everything Nvidia has built — CUDA, RTX, our AI platform — into a single superchip. Local agents. Frontier models. Creative workflows. RTX games. All on a laptop. This is the new PC. The personal AI computer.”

RTX Spark  features an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink®-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect to a high-performance, 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU.

MediaTek collaborated with NVIDIA on the custom CPU design.

RTX Spark features up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and 128GB of unified memory to meet the processing demands of on-device agents.

RTX Spark delivers the full Nvidia AI and graphics technology stack to creators, AI developers and gamers. Users can render ultralarge 90GB 3D scenes with OptiX and DLSS, edit 12K 4:2:2 video with the Nvidia Blackwell decoder, run 120-billion-parameter large language models with 1 million tokens context, and play AAA games at 1440p resolution and over 100 frames per second with ray tracing, DLSS and Reflex.

In addition to support for existing technologies, RTX Spark will power new RTX capabilities, including DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction featuring a second-generation transformer model — coming to Blender 5.3 and dozens of games — and RTX Video with 4x Frame Generation, coming to ComfyUI.

RTX technology boosts performance, enhances image quality and adds powerful AI features in over 1,000 games and applications. Over 100 Windows software providers such as Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI and OTOY, and game developers such as KRAFTON, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games and XBOX are embracing the new RTX Spark platform.

Nvidia is partnering with Adobe to rearchitect Adobe Premiere and Photoshop for RTX Spark. Firefly-powered Generative Fill in Photoshop and Generative Extend in Premiere are among the hundreds of accelerated tools that deliver creative power, precision and control. RTX Spark takes these capabilities further, delivering up to 2x faster AI, editing, coloring and effects across creative workflows.

Adobe Premiere will feature a new video pipeline that taps into RTX Spark’s unified memory, Blackwell GPU and TensorRT software, delivering real-time performance for editing and color correction, GPU-accelerated AI performance and more efficient rendering of complex timelines. 

In addition, Adobe’s Substance 3D Painter and Stager will run natively on RTX Spark for smoother and more responsive 3D texturing and scene creation workflows.
