TL;DR

Nvidia and Microsoft are introducing a new generation of AI-driven personal computers built around autonomous agents, marking what they describe as the most significant reinvention of the PC in four decades.

KEY POINTS

A 40-year shift in personal computing

The modern PC traces its roots to early Windows and Apple systems that standardized hardware abstraction, software layers, and developer ecosystems. This architecture helped transform computers from enterprise tools into mass-market consumer devices. The new initiative aims to replicate that scale of disruption by redefining how users interact with machines through AI.

Rise of the “agentic” PC

The next-generation PC is designed around AI agents that operate continuously, assist users autonomously, and interact through voice, vision, and natural language. These agents can analyze files, perform research, execute tasks, and adapt over time. They are expected to run both locally and via cloud-connected models, creating a hybrid computing experience.

Large language models as a core OS layer

Large language models (LLMs) are positioned as a fundamental extension of the operating system, comparable to past innovations like DirectX. These models enable multimodal input and output, including text, images, video, and sound, effectively embedding intelligence directly into the computing platform.

Introduction of RTX Spark platform

Nvidia unveiled RTX Spark, a new computing platform built on a Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and up to one petaflop of AI performance. It integrates a custom 20-core Grace CPU developed with MediaTek, uses 128 GB unified memory, and is manufactured on a TSMC 3nm process with 70 billion transistors.

Full software compatibility and performance gains

The system is designed to run the entire Nvidia CUDA stack alongside all existing Windows applications, ensuring backward compatibility. Applications across domains such as biology, physics, graphics, and AI can run natively. Major software providers like Adobe are optimizing tools such as Photoshop and Premiere, with reported performance improvements of up to .

Agents transforming workflows

Demonstrations show agents handling complex workflows, such as architectural design, by integrating tools like Rhino and Blender. The agent can generate layouts, correct errors, and produce photorealistic renders using generative AI models, significantly reducing manual effort and time.

Expansion across device categories

The initiative includes a full lineup of Windows-compatible systems: laptops, desktops, and high-performance workstations. Each system supports CUDA, AI Tensor Cores, and agent-based computing, forming a unified ecosystem across device types.

High-end workstation capabilities

A flagship workstation configuration offers 768 GB of memory, 20 petaflops of compute performance, and 8 TB/s memory bandwidth, enabling developers to run models with up to trillions of parameters locally before deploying them to the cloud.

Always-on personal AI systems

Desktop systems are envisioned as always-on hubs running agents continuously, connected to home devices, security systems, and personal data. These systems can manage daily tasks such as scheduling, travel booking, and home automation, becoming increasingly personalized over time.

Vision of AI in every home

The long-term vision suggests that households may adopt dedicated AI computers similar to home theaters or appliances. These systems would function as persistent assistants, evolving into interactive companions that handle a wide range of tasks autonomously.

CONCLUSION

The collaboration between Nvidia and Microsoft signals a shift toward AI-native computing, where autonomous agents and embedded intelligence redefine the role of the personal computer in everyday life.

My relationship with you started here. And many of you, many of you, many of my friends and partners here in Taiwan, your companies started here. This is in a lot of ways the beginning of the modern computer industry. 40 years now. Nvidia is 33 years old. the PC industry was already starting to get the P Windows one and Windows 2 and Apple Apple one and Apple 2 and by the time that we came along Windows 3.1 was the PC and as you know Windows 95 made PC personal. It took PC from enterprises companies and made it into a consumer electronics device. Everybody should have one and everybody does. This is the beginning. This computing platform did several things incredibly smart. Windows was not just disagregated. As you know, Windows was properly abstracted. It was architected just right. systems biosis, open chipsets, the operating system with drivers, drivers that could be connected and installed at runtime and an abstraction layer with a multimedia API that was that opened up the PC to what we all know today. Each one of these elements were essential in making the PC so popular. 40 years later, Microsoft and Nvidia are going to reinvent the PC. This is going to be the new PC. Now, tomorrow night, tomorrow night, I think it's tomorrow night our time, but I'm going to be with Satya where we're going to talk a lot more about the work that we're doing together. Microsoft Nvidia over the last three years. It took this long to completely reinvent how the PC is going to work so that we could be ready for this moment. As I mentioned earlier, that compute pattern called the agent. It's going to run in AI clouds. It's going to run inside enterprises. It is also going to run on your PC. What's going to happen to that PC when it has an autonomous agent? An agent that's helping you, that understands you. You could talk to it. It could look at you. You could ask it to read files, go help you do some research. It could do a lot more that I'll show you. But the new operating system is, of course, the old operating system plus large language models. large language models in a lot of ways is the modern version of DirectX. It has of course input and output, understands prompts, it understands computer vision, it can generate video, it can generate sounds. It is the modern extension, the intelligence extension of the PC, of a computer. On top of that, the application as I mentioned before is going to be replaced by now an agentic runtime and that is the modern application an agent. Let's now take a look at what it can do. It started with a spark, an idea to reimagine the PC for the first time in 40 years for the age of AI. What becomes of our personal computer in a world of agents? Agents running natively, connected to models, local or in the cloud. Our personal AI sandboxed for security, running continuously, getting work done. The chips and the OS must evolve. Introducing RTX Spark. Everything we've learned over 33 years distilled into one chip. Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores. One pedlop of AI performance. A custom 20 core grace CPU built in partnership with MediaTek. Fused by MVLink. 128 GB of unified memory. TSMC3 nanometer process, 70 billion transistors, and in close collaboration with Microsoft, a Windows platform for agents. We're reinventing the personal computer, for creating, for gaming, for agents. This is the dawn of a new personal computing revolution and it starts with Nvidia RTX Smart. >> Here it is. Of course, I got to show you the most beautiful part, which is video games. It is. It's also the closest to our heart. This is Forza. This is 007, by the way. The new 007 game. I'm looking forward to playing it. I look a little bit like him. Ladies and gentlemen, Nvidia's RTX Spark laptops. Now, thank you. I have too many things in my pocket. Okay. All right. This is the most amazing chip the world has ever built. This is the N1X that we built in partnership with MediaTek. I think I saw I saw Rick earlier. This is N1X. This is a beautiful chip. This is this is a a a chip that frankly would take 33 years to build. And the reason for that is because 100% of Nvidia software stack runs here. If you want to run uh uh digital biology, no problem. If you want to do seismic processing, no problem. You want astrophysics, no problem. Everything associated with CUDA, all the physics, all the biology, all the genomics, all the AI, no problem. All the computer graphics, no problem. Every single application Nvidia has ever created and every single application that Windows has ever run, Microsoft and Nvidia meticulously optimized everything so that this computer literally runs everything the world has ever created. Plus, it now runs agents. An incredible computer. I'm so proud of it. Okay. Now, I want you to keep that in mind in the next video. I just I'm going to show you. Just imagine everything here is going to run on your PC. Now that computer could have a local Neotron 3 Ultra model or Neotron 3 Super model or it could have a cloud code or codeex or some other model in the cloud or something on the network and it's going to it's going to work and do something amazing. Let's play it. >> Every house starts as an idea. Getting from idea to design takes a myriad of tools, expertise, and a lot of time. Now, an agent running locally on RTX Spark can help me design a house using the tools on my laptop with an open shell sandbox running the Hermes harness connected to Claude Sonnet in the cloud. I select the site, share my concept sketches and mood board of styles to inspire my design and the prompt, a text description of the requirements and the design intent. My agent goes to work using the tools on my laptop. It opens Rhino and starts modeling the site, shaping terrain, setbacks, and the building envelope. Then it proposes building forms optimized for cost, comfort, and quality. With the form defined, my agent generates the interior layout. Walls, circulation, rooms begin to take shape. I jump in whenever I want to adjust to change. Doors, windows, and structural elements are placed automatically. My agent detects its own mistakes and fixes them. When I approve, the agent exports the model from Rhino into Blender. Materials and object properties transfer with the design context intact. I fine-tune the materials, get the look just right. Then I pick the shots. Blender renders the house. My agent using generative AI with the Flux 2 model makes them photoreal. Multiple viewpoints, lighting conditions. What was once a complex workflow is now guided and simplified by my agent. Working with it on RTX Spark design at the speed of imagination. PC in the world of agents. The developers are so excited about it. This is an incredible computer. All of the acceleration, all the software capabilities associated with it, working with every developer to make it incredible for all of you. The next one, Adobe, incredible tool suite of course used by tens of millions of people around the world. They have re-engineered the architecture, the core of Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, and they're going to release it for RTX Spark. It is twice as fast. It's already fast. Now, it's going to be twice as fast. And it it's also designed to be agentfriendly with its MCP server. It can now interact with agents on your laptop. The number of customers, the number of partners that are so excited to bring RTX, RTX Spark to the market is just incredible. You know, this is the first across the lineup of PC reinvention for 40 years. And I'm just so happy that all of you and the ecosystem around the world has joined us. This is basically everybody. Everybody will support RTX Spark and will be building incredibly smart and powerful and beautiful laptops with all of us. Thank you very much. But that's not all. That's not all. RTX Spark is a reinvention of laptop. But in fact, Microsoft Nvidia is reinventing all of PC. And today we're announcing a whole new line. Three revolutionary Windows machines covering desktop, laptop, and workstations. All 100% Windows compatible, 100% CUDA, 100% Nvidia AI Tensor Core. Everything that runs that you see that runs on Nvidia in all these different platforms around the world runs here. This is the first completely re-engineered, reinvented line of PCs that has happened in 40 years. Now, what's really amazing is this. So, this is this is the RTX Spark laptop. This is the desktop. So, this one's from MSI. Joseph, this one's yours. Okay. Look how beautiful it is. This agent could run 24/7 meter free and you could download your agent. You could raise your lobster in here. This is your clock. It's running all the time. No meter anxiety. And it's sitting here connected to your whole house, connected to your laptop, connected to your display, all the cameras, your your dryer, your water cooler, your water heater, your everything, whatever you want, your security system, all connected to this. And this becomes your personal AI, your personal AI agent. And it gets smarter and smarter and smarter over time because today we have Neotron 3 Ultra. Tomorrow we have Neotron 4 and then Neotron 5, Neotron 6. And we just keep getting us smarter and smarter and smarter. And meanwhile, this is sitting at home helping you do things. If you want to book a travel, no problem. And if you if you want an incredible system, this is a DGX station for Windows. compatible with Windows, runs everything in Windows, and and it has 768 GB of memory. And so you could run a trillion parameter model. This is unbelievable. 20 pedaflaps, 8 terabytes per second of memory bandwidth, and this sits by your desk. You basically if you're a developer of large language models, you're a developer of agents, having this sit by your desk gives you all the compute you need and then when you deploy it, you put it into the cloud. Now there's something that if you look at this and think about this, something is happening here. Remember 15, 20 years ago, we used to have an idea called a foam. Today we have an idea called a PC. Today when you think about your phone, the one thing you don't do with it is make phone calls. You do just about everything else. And so that phone means something very different to you than a phone of the past. I am certain what's going to happen here is that the PC 10 years from now and the PC that you think about today a tool whether you launch applications click and type and this PC is going to be completely different here's my theory I can totally imagine just as every house today has a home theater where many houses have home theaters big TVs lawnmowers, dishwashers. I could totally imagine that someday there's actually an AI supercomput in your house 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. And you have to have it in your house just like you have a home theater in your house, you have stereoss in your house, you have game consoles in your house. You want to assist AI agent computers running in your house and these in time becomes a lot more like R2-D2 to you. It becomes more like C3PO to you than it feels like a PC to you. There is no question this reinvention of the computer is as big of a deal as the reinvention of the phone into what we now know as the smartphone. And so this is the beginning of that journey. This is the beginning of a new line. And so we have a roadmap for this. This is a brand new product family for us. Every single generation of architecture, we will have a desktop, a laptop, a workstation, and then a desktop, a laptop, and workstation. And the thing that I am just incredibly pleased, incredibly honored is that 100% of the world's PC industry has joined us to reinvent the PC. A new line, a new beginning. Thank you.
