Nvidia has announced what it claims is "the most efficient PC chip" of all time.
The tech giant has announced plans for its RTX Spark family of chips as it looks to enter the consumer PC chipmaking game to challenge the likes of Intel, Apple, AMD and Qualcomm.
Nvidia senior director of product management Mark Aevermann didn't offer specifics, but said: "This is the most efficient PC chip ever built."
It's not too far removed from the GB10 chip from the DGX Spark, which is the tiny "personal AI supercomputer" the company launched in 2025.
However, now it's a family of chips instead of just one.
The main flagship piece of the range looks to be identical, featuring 20 CPU cores, 6,144 GPU cores, and 128GB of LPDDR6X memory.
Nvidia has promised lesser versions to come, aimed at lower price points.
The tech firm says RTX Spark will let users harness its power through things like rendering a 90GB 3D scene, editing a 12K resolution video, or even playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at 100fps at 1440p resolution.
Aevermann has promised that "all the top games will run on RTX Spark and provide a great experience".
This could all be handled, Nvidia says, by a 14mm thick laptop, with no need to be plugged into the power.
Aevermann added: “RTX Spark is going to be a family of products that are going to attack a lot of different price points.
“The overall market opportunity that we see is quite large.”
