Nvidia has unveiled a new chip that puts AI capabilities directly into laptops and desktop computers, pitting it against the likes of Advanced Micro Devices, Intel and Apple, Reuters reports.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who is in Taiwan for the Computex conference, said on Monday that the RTX Spark PC chip is part of Nvidia’s effort with Microsoft to “reinvent the PC” for the AI era after three years of collaboration between the companies.
The chip, which industry experts said would overhaul engagement with AI, is designed to run AI agents locally rather than relying solely on cloud computing.
Huang said Nvidia developed the RTX Spark chip with help from Taiwan’s MediaTek.
“The RTX Spark looks to transform the traditional app-centric PC to a real useful Agentic AI personal computer which will eventually be in every home in coming years as private edge AI agents become pivotal,” said Neil Shah, Counterpoint Research co-founder.
“This is going to be the ‘RTX Spark’ moment for the personal computing segment like how iPhone, ChatGPT or DeepSeek have been.”
