Chip giant NVIDIA unveiled a new PC central processor called "RTX Spark" at the Taipei Computer Show, featuring 1 floating-point operation capability and specifically designed for securely running various AI agents. Global leading PC manufacturers including Microsoft, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and ASUS have all joined the initiative, planning to launch new AI PCs equipped with this chip this fall. The next-generation PCs feature a "secure sandbox" function co-developed with Microsoft, enabling local execution of large language models. Jensen Huang stated that, in addition to traditional GPUs, AI-driven CPUs represent a massive new market worth $200 billion, and NVIDIA is re-entering the PC market with its dominance in AI.

At the Taipei International Computer Show, chip giant Nvidia dropped a major industry bombshell by officially launching a new PC central processing unit (CPU) called “RTX Spark,” branding it as a “super chip.”

Major tech giants unite in support

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has high hopes for this new chip, aiming to revolutionize the traditional PC operating model. He said that in the future, users will only need to speak their requests, and the PC will automatically handle all complex tasks, completely leaving behind the era of tedious clicking and typing.

This chip delivers up to 1 petaflop of floating-point performance and is specifically designed to securely run various AI agents. Leading global PC manufacturers, including Microsoft, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and ASUS, have all joined the initiative and plan to launch new AI PCs equipped with this chip this fall.

Open up a new business landscape

These next-generation PCs feature a "secure sandbox" developed in collaboration with Microsoft, along with sufficiently powerful hardware to run large language models locally. This means NVIDIA’s technology not only delivers a dramatic leap in visual quality for gamers but also provides content creators with robust AI-powered productivity tools.

Prior to this, Jensen Huang revealed to investors that AI-driven CPUs, in addition to traditional GPUs, represent a massive new market worth $200 billion. Although NVIDIA’s earlier attempts to enter the PC CPU market years ago faced setbacks, its ambition to re-enter the PC market is now formidable, fueled by its absolute dominance in artificial intelligence.
