NVIDIA officially unveils RTX Spark chip that powers the world’s first Windows PCs purpose-built for personal agent
Yesterday, NVIDIA introduced its latest RTX Spark superchip that is said to reinvent Windows PCs for the era of personal AI agents.
NVIDIA RTX Spark
This chip brings NVIDIA’s innovations, including NVIDIA CUDA, NVIDIA RTX, DLSS, FP4, NVIDIA TensorRT, NVIDIA Optix, Reflex, and G-SYNC to slim Windows laptops with all-day battery life and small, ultra-efficient desktop PCs. It is designed for AI, creating and gaming.
The RTX Spark superchip features an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and 5th 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.
It is revealed that MediaTek has collaborated with NVIDIA on the custom CPU design of this chip. Meanwhile, NVIDIA and Microsoft have also collaborated to deliver a native Windows experience for personal agents, including new security primitives and NVIDIA OpenShell to run agents securely on primary devices.
This robust security and privacy layer is being adopted by leading agent developers such as Hermes Agent and OpenClaw in their new Windows apps.
RTX Spark features up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and 128GB of unified memory to meet the processing demands of on-device agents. NVIDIA and Microsoft’s collaboration will expand to new RTX Spark-powered Windows agent experiences accessible from the Windows taskbar user interface.
The chip delivers a full NVIDIA AI and graphics technology stack to creators. 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 100fps with ray tracing, DLSS and Reflex.
It is also revealed that RTX Spark will power new RTX capabilities like DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction featuring a 2nd generation transformer model and RTX video with 4x Frame Generation, coming to ComfyUI.
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 chip.
NVIDIA is also partnering with Adobe to rearchitect Adobe Premiere and Photoshop for RTX Spark. The chip delivers 2x faster AI, editing, colouring, 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 colour correction, GPU-accelerated AI performance and more efficient rendering of complex timelines. Meanwhile, Adobe’s Substance 3D Painter and Stager will run natively on RTX Spark.
Adobe will further extend Premiere and Photoshop to allow users to create, edit and design with Windows agents. Updates to Adobe’s creative apps like Premiere, Photoshop and Substance are expected to start rolling out alongside RTX Spark availability.
Engineered to be as slim as 14mm and as light as three pounds, RTX Spark laptops will be available in 14- to 16-inch sizes and feature a precision-machined aluminium chassis. Colour-accurate tandem OLED displays with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology provide stunning visuals for creative work and immersive gaming.
As revealed by NVIDIA, major hardware makers are rallying around RTX Spark- ASUS, Dell Technologies, HP Inc, Lenovo, MSI, Microsoft Surface, with many designs already in development.
Availability
RTX Spark laptops and compact desktops will be available this fall from leading manufacturers, including ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI, with models from Acer and GIGABYTE to follow.
