So this happened today. Literally today — June 1, 2026 — Jensen Huang walked onto a stage at the Taipei Music Center for Computex 2026 and announced that Nvidia is now in the laptop chip business. Not the GPU business. Not the AI accelerator business. The actual, full CPU-plus-GPU-in-one-chip, powers-the-whole-computer business.

The chip is called RTX Spark, and it is honestly a weird thing to process. For most of us who grew up watching Nvidia make graphics cards, this feels like… I don’t know, like if Toyota suddenly said they’re making aircraft engines. Nvidia has always been the GPU company. The company that made your gaming rig faster. And now they’re building the brain of the laptop.
Huang called it “the most important reinvention of the PC in 40 years.” That’s a big claim. But once you look at the specs, you start to understand why the company believes that. And once you think about what this means for Apple the other company that figured out the ARM chip thing for laptops it gets even more interesting.
