NVIDIA's RTX Spark Superchip brings 120B-parameter local AI agents to Windows PCs

NVIDIA has unveiled the RTX Spark Superchip, which features the NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores. Furthermore, it's connected via NVLink-C2C (chip-to-chip) to a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU.

NVIDIA confirmed that RTX Spark was born out of a collaboration with MediaTek, a market leader in Arm-based system-on-chip designs, and that it is specifically designed for personal AI agents.

So, what can RTX Spark actually do? Well, according to Team Green RTX Spark lets creators, AI developers, and gamers render ultra-large 90GB+ 3D scenes, and edit 12K 4:2:2 video. Additionally, RTX Spark users will be able to generate 4K AI videos, run 120-billion-parameter LLMs, and, this is the big one, enjoy increased support for 1-million-token context conversations.

Furthermore, RTX Spark has gaming capabilities, as NVIDIA has integrated its RTX software stack, which includes commonly used technologies such as DLSS. NVIDIA explained during its press briefing that RTX Spark will be able to play AAA games at 1440p with over 100 FPS, despite it being an Arm-based system.

"The PC is being reinvented. For forty years, you launched apps. Click. Type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask - and the PC does the work. RTX Spark brings everything NVIDIA has built - CUDA, RTX, our AI platform - into a single superchip. Local agents. Frontier models. Creative workflows. RTX games. All on a laptop. This is the new PC. The personal AI computer," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA

"In addition to support for existing technologies, RTX Spark will power new RTX capabilities, including DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction featuring a second-generation transformer model - coming to Blender 5.3 and dozens of games - and RTX Video with 4x Frame Generation, coming to ComfyUI.

RTX technology boosts performance, enhances image quality and adds powerful AI features in over 1,000 games and applications. Over 100 Windows software providers such as Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI and OTOY, and game developers such as KRAFTON, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games and XBOX are embracing the new RTX Spark platform," writes NVIDIA in its press release
