The RTX Spark will ship in Windows PCs from Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI starting in autumn 2026, with models from Acer and Gigabyte to follow, according to Nvidia. The chip represents Nvidia’s first major push into the consumer PC market, positioning the company — already dominant in data-center AI processing — as a direct challenger to established chipmakers Apple and Intel.
Huang delivered the announcement during a keynote speech ahead of the opening of Computex, the annual technology trade show held in Taipei, Taiwan. He drew a direct parallel between the RTX Spark and one of the most consequential product shifts in consumer technology history.
“This reinvention of the computer is as big of a deal as the reinvention of the phone into what we now know as the smartphone,” Huang said.
Nvidia described the RTX Spark on its website as “a new superchip… for the era of personal AI agents — offering a new class of computer that moves from tool to teammate.”
The chip arrives as Nvidia has established itself as the world’s most valuable company, with a stock market valuation exceeding $5 trillion, driven by surging demand for AI computing power across the technology industry.
The Computex announcement came one day after the US Department of Commerce moved to tighten restrictions on exports of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips to Chinese firms. On Sunday, the department closed what officials described as a potential loophole that may have allowed shipments of cutting-edge processors, such as Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, to subsidiaries of Chinese companies operating outside of China.
Washington has pursued export controls aimed at preventing Chinese firms from acquiring the advanced computing hardware needed to develop AI technology. The latest action extends those restrictions to cover indirect purchasing channels through overseas subsidiaries.
