NVIDIA RTX Spark AI PC Chip Unveiled with MediaTek Partner
At Computex 2026, NVIDIA announced the RTX Spark system‑on‑chip, a new AI‑focused processor developed together with Taiwan’s MediaTek. The Arm‑based CPU combines ten Cortex‑X925 and ten Cortex‑A725 cores, while the Blackwell GPU integrates 6,144 CUDA cores, delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and supporting up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5x memory. NVIDIA says the chip can run large models of up to 1.2 trillion parameters and handle context windows of up to one million tokens, enabling on‑device AI workloads that previously required cloud resources.
The platform is designed for Windows on Arm, offering native compatibility with ARM‑64 applications and, via the Prism emulator, support for legacy x86 software. Power consumption is projected at around 140 W for desktop variants and 80–100 W for laptop versions. The first RTX Spark devices, including laptops and mini‑PCs, are slated for an autumn 2026 launch from brands such as ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI and Microsoft’s Surface line. Prices in Taiwan are estimated to start near NT$110,000, targeting developers, creators, engineers and other professional users rather than the average consumer.
