Marks Nvidia's major expansion from GPU dominance into the massive CPU market
Nvidia announced its RTX Spark CPU at Computex, a 1-petaflop chip designed for AI agent PCs. Microsoft, Dell, HP, ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI will release RTX Spark Windows PCs this fall, featuring secure sandboxes for AI agents and local LLM capabilities.
At Taipei's Computex trade show, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the RTX Spark CPU, calling it a "superchip" capable of running AI agents like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent securely. The 1-petaflop processor includes secure sandboxes developed with Microsoft and sufficient CPU, GPU, and RAM to run local large language models. Major PC manufacturers including ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI will launch RTX Spark PCs this fall, with Acer and Gigabyte following later. Over 100 Windows software makers including Adobe, Blender, and Xbox have committed support. Huang envisions ending traditional app-launching workflows, saying "you ask — and the PC does the work." This represents Nvidia's push into the $200B CPU market, having already sold $20B worth of its Vera server CPUs.
