AI chip company Nvidia announced a new AI superchip designed for personal computers that CEO Jensen Huang hailed as a “reinvention of the computer.”
The announcement was made at Computex, an annual exhibition dubbed the “world’s largest AI conference” in Taipei, Taiwan.

The RTX Spark chip will bring advanced artificial intelligence functions to personal computers, according to Huang, and would stand as “the world’s first Windows PCs purpose-built for personal agents.”
The decision represents Nvidia’s move into the general consumer market and an investment in increased AI integration in personal computing systems. The RTX Spark will be included in computers from companies such as HP, Dell, and Windows, among others.
Huang noted his role in technological breakthroughs with his 33-year-old company before presenting a reimagined PC designed for the rising AI era. According to Huang, the rise of agentic AI systems is as groundbreaking as the reinvention of the phone into the smartphone.
“The chips and the OS must evolve,” he said.
Huang referenced Windows 95, the foundational 1995 computer operating system that first made the computer user-friendly and accessible to the general public.
“Windows 95 made the PC personal. It took the PC from enterprises and companies and made it into a consumer electronic device,” he said. “Everyone should have one, and everyone does. 40 years later, Microsoft and Nvidia are going to reinvent the PC. This is going to be the new PC.”

Huang said he thinks artificial intelligence systems will become increasingly commonplace in modern life.
“Just as every house today has a home theater, big TVs, lawn mowers, dishwashers, I could totally imagine that someday there’s actually an AI supercomputer in your house,” he said. “And it’s running all of your agents. It’s running all of your assistants, and they’re doing all kinds of things for you all the time. You have to have it in your house.”
The billionaire cofounded Nvidia in 1993 and remains its CEO and president. Nvidia describes itself as a “world leader in artificial intelligence computing” and powers AI infrastructure across data centers, robotics, and computing chips. With a Market Cap of $5.309 trillion, Nvidia is the world’s most valuable company, in part due to its dominance in artificial intelligence chips in the technology sector.
