Nvidia wants to make your Windows PC an agentic and creator powerhouse
Why it matters: Nvidia just announced what it calls the most efficient PC chip ever built. RTX Spark is a Grace Blackwell system on a chip, 70 billion transistors on TSMC 3nm, with a Blackwell RTX GPU, a 20-core Arm CPU built with MediaTek, and up to 128GB of unified memory. It is purpose-built for agents, and it runs full RTX gaming and creation on the same thin-and-light laptop. It is a genuinely impressive piece of silicon.

AI infrastructure boom pushes AMD, Intel and Arm to new valuation heights
Nvidia still dominates, but AI demand is lifting the rest of the chip market
Bottom line: Demand for AI infrastructure has been reshaping how investors value chipmakers, and recent results from key suppliers have strengthened the view that compute-intensive workloads will continue to grow. The effect has been evident with CPU vendors as of late. AMD's stock traded at $278 on Thursday, putting its market value at about $454 billion. Intel's rally from early March pushed the stock toward $68 and lifted its market cap to just under $340 billion. Arm's shares, meanwhile, traded close to $165, valuing the company at roughly $174 billion.
Nvidia's mythical N1 SoC surfaces on a real motherboard, and it's packing 128GB of LPDDR5X
In context: Arm-based laptops typically lag in the GPU department – after all, unlike x86, the platform isn't known for its gaming performance. But that may soon change. Nvidia has been working with MediaTek on an Arm-based SoC featuring a GPU that could rival the RTX 5070. The chip, reportedly called the N1, is impressive given that it integrates the CPU and GPU into a single package.
