NVIDIA RTX Spark AI PC launches this fall with ASUS and MSI leading the charge

Acer and Gigabyte will launch RTX Spark laptops too, but not before Microsoft and Co.

The first batch not including Acer and Gigabyte will launch this fall. Nvidia's Arm-based processor for laptops was unveiled after much waiting at Computex back in June. RTX Spark is Nvidia's first proper go at a consumer chip, combining CPU and GPU, and while it is of course targeted at AI workloads, it's also targeted at gaming. Now, Nvidia has confirmed which will be the first brands of RTX Spark laptop to come to market this fall and which will follow those. According to Nvidia, "RTX Spark systems will be available this fall from Asus, Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI, with models from Acer and Gigabyte to follow." The initial few aren't a big surprise given these are the exact companies that were announced as partners when RTX Spark was revealed. Of note is Acer and Gigabyte following the initial six, though. As Chinese news site the Commercial Times points out (via VideoCardz), MSI and Asus will be the first Taiwanese companies to launch Spark lappies. But given it was the Surface Laptop Ultra that RTX Spark was most commonly shown running on at Computex, it'll be surprising if that's not the first one to market. That being said, I'm looking forward to RTX Spark laptops other than the Surface. Back when it was announced, I reported just how much I liked the look of the thin MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+. If laptops as thin as this can really pump out 100 fps at 1440p like Nvidia claims -- and our Dave's hands-on experience gaming on RTX Spark certainly does make me hopeful -- then getting that kind of power out of such a thin laptop is an exciting prospect. Though I guess that will depend on the TDPs and cooling in question, too. The other big announcement from Nvidia at SIGGRAPH 2026, at least as far as we gamers are concerned, was a closer look at how DLSS 5 works. For now, the AI filter looks to be controllable with just a couple of sliders, though Nvidia says it's working on building more controls for devs. And I can't deny that cranking up the subsurface scattering on masked-off environmental objects looks pretty damn good to my eyes, even if the controls are limited. That technology will launch this fall, too, so the end of 2026 might be an interesting time for PC gaming. Setting aside the usual affordability provisos given the current state of the market, of course.

NVIDIA confirms the first RTX Spark laptops and when they will release

NVIDIA has officially confirmed the fall 2026 launch of its first RTX Spark-powered PCs and which brands will be leading the charge. The new RTX Spark platform is designed to bring AI, content creation, and gaming into a single system. But what price is this ultimate PC? The RTX Spark platform combines a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU and up to 128 GB of unified memory, delivering as much as one petaflop of AI performance in a laptop. NVIDIA unveiled the RTX Spark at Computex 2026, where it said the device is a culmination of the last 40 years of computing and is the first device that will usher in a fundamental change to how we interact with traditional computing systems. According to NVIDIA, the platform represents a major leap in power efficiency and performance for AI-driven computing, making it ideal for developers and creators who demand high-end performance but in a portable form factor. Furthermore, NVIDIA stated during its announcement that the RTX Spark will also be gaming capable, with NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang stating buyers can expect at least 100FPS at 1440p across modern AAA titles. Developed in partnership with MediaTek, RTX Spark also ushers in MediaTek's entry into NVIDIA's AI ecosystem, with ASUS and MSI finalizing their systems first, and Acer and GIGABYTE to follow. OEMs like HP and Microsoft are also preparing their own RTX Spark-powered machines for later in the year. "NVIDIA announced at SIGGRAPH 2026 that its next-generation AI systems powered by the RTX Spark platform will be available this fall, with ASUS and MSI leading the way, followed by Acer and GIGABYTE. Developed jointly by NVIDIA and MediaTek, RTX Spark not only symbolizes the extension of AI computing from the cloud to AI PCs and workstations, but also represents MediaTek's official entry into NVIDIA's agent-based AI ecosystem, becoming a key partner in driving end-user AI computing," wrote Commercial Times Taiwan As fall 2026 approaches, the RTX Spark platform is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated AI hardware launches of the year, as everyone wonders what kind of price-to-performance we will be getting from a machine touted as the next revolutionary computing platform. Currently, reports are pegging the RTX Spark systems anywhere between $2500 and $3000 at a minimum.

NVIDIA RTX Spark PCs Coming This Fall With First Systems by ASUS & MSI, Followed By Acer & Gigabyte

NVIDIA's first RTX Spark PCs are coming this fall, with ASUS & MSI leading the way, and other manufacturers will follow suit. ASUS & MSI Among The First To Offer RTX Spark Systems, As NVIDIA Enters The AI PC Segment This Fall The unveiling of RTX Spark marked NVIDIA's official entry into the PC market, targeting the AI PC segment. These laptops are going to be a one-stop solution for AI, Content Creation, and Gaming. According to NVIDIA, the first RTX Spark PCs are now finalized and are aiming for the previously disclosed Fall 2026 launch. As per the details, the first systems will be offered by ASUS and MSI, followed by Gigabyte and ACER. Bigger OEMs such as Microsoft, HP, and Dell will also have their own solutions out in the market. Our hands-on with every RTX Spark system can be seen here. NVIDIA announced at SIGGRAPH 2026 that its next-generation AI systems powered by the RTX Spark platform will be available this fall, with ASUS and MSI leading the way, followed by Acer and Gigabyte. Developed jointly by NVIDIA and MediaTek, RTX Spark not only symbolizes the extension of AI computing from the cloud to AI PCs and workstations, but also represents MediaTek's official entry into NVIDIA's agent-based AI ecosystem, becoming a key partner in driving end-user AI computing. via Commercial Times Taiwan Taiwanese manufacturers, mainly cooling equipment providers such as Chicony, Shuanghong, and Jianze, as well as high-speed connectivity and power supply makers, such as BTA-KY and Delta Electronics, are expected to benefit big time from the launch of these platforms, which are expected to see major demand in the PC markets. Although NVIDIA is marketing its RTX Spark AI PCs at the premium "AI PC" segment, with prices reportedly in the $2500-$3000 US range (at minimum), the surge in local AI compute & platforms with high-capacity DRAM (up to 128 GB) is getting a lot of interest recently. RTX Spark's N1X chip with Grace CPU cores and Blackwell GPU cores will benefit from the unified 128 GB LP5X interface and tackle LLMs like a breeze. NVIDIA has already delivered the first drivers for its RTX Spark platforms, aimed at developers, to bring native Windows on Arm support ahead of the fall launch. These drivers will come in handy in enabling future applications and optimizing existing applications for RTX Spark PCs. The drivers have also exposed two unique N1X configurations, one with the full 6144 GPU cores, and another with 5120 cores. NVIDIA is also preparing its more mainstream N1 "RTX Spark" chip with a more streamlined CPU/GPU configuration, though the company hasn't gone public with the full specs or performance yet. With Fall 2026 getting closer, NVIDIA is expected to showcase more details, while OEMs work towards finalizing their retail plans with various partners across the globe.
