NVIDIA Confirms October Launch for RTX Spark Windows 11 PCs

NVIDIA RTX Spark PCs will launch in October 2026, marking NVIDIA’s first major push into Windows PCs powered by its own CPU and GPU platform.

NVIDIA has confirmed the launch window and revealed two configurations of its RTX Spark N1X chip, both combining Grace CPU cores with Blackwell RTX graphics.

NVIDIA confirms October launch for RTX Spark PCs

The first Windows PCs powered by RTX Spark will arrive in October 2026.

NVIDIA had shared a few details about the platform in recent months, with most new information coming from leaked Geekbench results.

The company has now revealed two configurations of its RTX Spark N1X chip. NVIDIA uses the N1X name for both versions despite differences in CPU, GPU, and memory specifications.

Flagship N1X gets 20 Grace CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores

The flagship RTX Spark N1X combines a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU featuring 6,144 CUDA cores.

It supports up to 128GB of unified memory, giving the CPU and GPU access to the same memory pool.

NVIDIA claims the platform can deliver up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance.

The higher-end N1X will appear in both laptops and compact desktop PCs. Desktop versions can operate at up to a 140W TDP.

Second RTX Spark N1X targets laptops

NVIDIA is also preparing a lower-spec N1X configuration aimed primarily at laptops.

This version uses an 18-core Grace CPU alongside a Blackwell RTX GPU with 5,120 CUDA cores.

Memory capacity drops to a maximum of 64GB of unified LPDDR5X memory.

RTX Spark supports DLSS 5 and Reflex 2

Both RTX Spark N1X configurations include fourth-generation ray-tracing cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores.

The platform supports NVIDIA technologies including DLSS 5, Reflex 2, CUDA, G-SYNC, and other RTX features.

NVIDIA also plans to provide both Game Ready and Studio drivers, positioning RTX Spark systems for gaming as well as professional and AI workloads.

ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI are onboard

Several major PC manufacturers already have RTX Spark systems planned.

NVIDIA currently lists the ASUS ProArt P16, Dell XPS 16, HP OmniBook X 14, Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n, Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra, and MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+ among the upcoming devices.

The mix includes traditional laptops, convertible systems, and compact desktops.

RTX Spark PC pricing remains unknown

NVIDIA has not announced official pricing for RTX Spark PCs.

However, current pricing estimates suggest the first RTX Spark N1X laptops and PCs could sit firmly in the premium segment.

With the first systems arriving in October, manufacturers should reveal final configurations and pricing closer to launch.
