Since their market launch in 2024, AI PCs have received a tepid consumer response. Microsoft hopes to change that, with a helping hand from Nvidia.
The two companies announced Monday that they will introduce this fall some 30 laptops and 10 PCs built around Nvidia’s new RTX Spark “superchip,” which can deliver one petaflop of AI performance and address 128 gigabytes of unified memory.
“Nvidia and Microsoft share a vision that agents are the future of personal computing,” Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of personal computing at Nvidia, said in a statement. “RTX Spark combines Nvidia’s full technology stack with Microsoft Windows and is purpose-built for creators, gamers, and AI developers in the personal AI era.”
Nvidia’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang, in another statement, added: “The PC is being reinvented. For 40 years, you launched apps. Click. Type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask — and the PC does the work.”
The new Arm-based laptops and PCs appear to be aimed at developers and creators and not the computing hoi polloi.
