What happened?
NVIDIA launched today, October 16, 2026, the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform, a new generation of Windows PCs with a superchip that combines Grace Arm CPU and Blackwell RTX GPU in unified memory. Notebooks are available from $2,599, with configurations up to 128 GB of memory and 1 petaflop of AI performance in FP4.
Partners such as Microsoft (Surface Laptop Ultra), ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Acer and Gigabyte already have the devices available. Compact desktops arrive in November.
Why is this important?
RTX Spark represents NVIDIA's entry into the Windows-on-Arm PC market with a focus on local AI, gaming and creation. With up to 6,144 CUDA cores and native CUDA support, it allows running large AI models locally without relying on the cloud, as well as AAA games with DLSS 5.
For creators, developers and gamers, it's the chance to have a slim and powerful PC that serves both AI agents and high-performance gaming.
What changes in practice?
RTX Spark notebooks support hundreds of games at launch, including titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite and Gears of War: E-Day. The software includes optimizations for AI agents, Nemotron 3.5 and tools like NVIDIA Broadcast. Power consumption is between 45-80W on notebooks, promising good battery life.
With up to 128 GB of unified memory, it's possible to load 70B+ parameter models locally. Prices rise according to configuration, reaching about $6,900 on top-of-the-line machines.
