Computex 2026 is underway, and Nvidia has formally stepped into the processor ring with its own chip. Nvidia calls the RTX Spark a “superchip” for Windows PCs that have massive AI performance.
This chip consists of an ARM-based Nvidia Grace CPU with 20 cores, as well as an Nvidia Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores. There’s also fifth-generation Tensor cores, up to 128GB of unified memory, and a 600GB/s Nvidia NVLink-C2C interconnect providing high-bandwidth communications between the elements.
