Jensen Huang announced NVIDIA RTX Spark, a new PC platform developed with Microsoft and MediaTek, at GTC Taipei 2026. He said the PC industry began 40 years ago with Windows, and now Microsoft and Nvidia are reinventing it for the age of AI agents. The RTX Spark chip, built with MediaTek, includes a Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores, one petaflop of AI performance, a 20-core Grace CPU, 128 GB of unified memory, and 70 billion transistors on TSMC 3nm. Huang said the platform runs 100% of Nvidia's software stack and all Windows applications, plus agents. He showed a demo of an agent designing a house using local and cloud models. He announced three new Windows machines: laptop, desktop, and workstation, with the workstation featuring 768 GB of memory and 20 petaflops. He predicted PCs will evolve into household AI supercomputers, like smartphones did.
Key takeaways
Nvidia and Microsoft are reinventing the PC with RTX Spark, a new platform for AI agents, after 40 years of the traditional PC.
RTX Spark chip has 6,144 CUDA cores, one petaflop of AI performance, 128 GB unified memory, and 70 billion transistors.
Nvidia announced three new Windows machines: laptop, desktop, and workstation, all 100% Windows and CUDA compatible.
The workstation has 768 GB of memory and 20 petaflops, capable of running trillion-parameter models.
Huang predicted PCs will become household AI supercomputers, like smartphones, within 10 years.
My relationship with you started here. And many of you, many of my friends and partners here in Taiwan, your companies started here. This is in a lot of ways the beginning of the modern computer industry. 40 years now. Nvidia is 33 years old. The PC industry was already starting to get the Windows 1 and Windows 2 and Apple 1 and Apple 2, and by the time that we came along, Windows 3.1 was the PC. And as you know, Windows 95 made PC personal. It took PC from enterprises and companies and made it into a consumer electronics device. Everybody should have one and everybody does. This is the beginning. This computing platform did several things incredibly smart. Windows was not just disaggregated. As you know, Windows was properly abstracted. It was architected just right. Systems BIOS, open chipsets, the operating system with drivers, drivers that could be connected and installed at runtime, and an abstraction layer with a multimedia API that opened up the PC to what we all know today. Each one of these elements were essential in making the PC so popular.
40 years later, Microsoft and Nvidia are going to reinvent the PC. This is going to be the new PC. Now, tomorrow night, I think it's tomorrow night our time, but I'm going to be with Satya where we're going to talk a lot more about the work that we're doing together. Microsoft and Nvidia over the last three years, it took this long to completely reinvent how the PC is going to work so that we could be ready for this moment. As I mentioned earlier, that compute pattern called the agent, it's going to run in AI clouds. It's going to run inside enterprises. It is also going to run on your PC. What's going to happen to that PC when it has an autonomous agent? An agent that's helping you, that understands you. You could talk to it. It could look at you. You could ask it to read files, go help you do some research. It could do a lot more that I'll show you. But the new operating system is, of course, the old operating system plus large language models. Large language models in a lot of ways is the modern version of DirectX. It has of course input and output, understands prompts, it understands computer vision, it can generate video, it can generate sounds. It is the modern extension, the intelligence extension of the PC, of a computer. On top of that, the application as I mentioned before is going to be replaced by now an agentic runtime and that is the modern application, an agent. Let's now take a look at what it can do.
It started with a spark, an idea to reimagine the PC for the first time in 40 years for the age of AI. What becomes of our personal computer in a world of agents? Agents running natively, connected to models, local or in the cloud. Our personal AI sandboxed for security, running continuously, getting work done. The chips and the OS must evolve. Introducing RTX Spark. Everything we've learned over 33 years distilled into one chip. Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores. One petaflop of AI performance. A custom 20-core Grace CPU built in partnership with MediaTek. Fused by NVLink. 128 GB of unified memory. TSMC 3 nanometer process, 70 billion transistors, and in close collaboration with Microsoft, a Windows platform for agents. We're reinventing the personal computer for creating, for gaming, for agents. This is the dawn of a new personal computing revolution and it starts with Nvidia RTX Spark.
