At GTC Taipei, Nvidia unveiled RTX Spark: a superchip integrating Blackwell GPU and 20-core Arm Grace CPU with up to 128 GB unified memory and 300 GB/s bandwidth, backed by eight OEMs for fall 2026 laptops. It also launched an 88-core Vera datacenter CPU claiming 50% higher IPC and targeting $20 billion revenue.
Nvidia introduced RTX Spark at GTC Taipei, integrating a Blackwell GPU with 20-core Arm Grace CPU, offering up to 128 GB unified memory and 300 GB/s bandwidth in a thin laptop form factor. The platform includes full RTX and DLSS 4.5 graphics stack with native anti-cheat, and eight PC brands have pledged fall 2026 laptop launches.
The new 88-core Vera CPU delivers a claimed 50% performance uplift over standard processors through custom Olympus cores with 1.5x instructions-per-cycle improvement. A rack-scale architecture packs 256 liquid-cooled chips per unit, positioning Nvidia to capture two-thirds of the x86 server CPU market and drive up to $20 billion in annual revenue.
MediaTek will co-develop RTX Spark laptops by providing CPU efficiency, memory architecture, and connectivity, while Xage Security is integrating Vera BlueField-4 STX and DOCA security capabilities for line-speed zero trust enforcement in AI factories. These collaborations aim to secure and optimize agentic AI workloads across PCs and data centers.
