Nvidia RTX Spark CPU is now official: "superchip" will power Windows laptops and desktops
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.
