NVIDIA Computex 2026
The PC you use today has worked the same way for four decades: you turn it on, open a program, click, type. Well, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang just stood up at Computex 2026 and said all of that is over. And it’s not coming from just anyone: it’s coming from the guy who sells GPUs to half the planet. So it’s worth listening to him, but also worth keeping one eye slightly narrowed. Here’s what he announced and, more importantly, what’s actually real for you.
First, what these “agents” actually are
The whole keynote revolves around one word: agent. And before we go on, let me put it plainly, because it sounds more complicated than it is. An agent isn’t just a chatbot that answers you. It’s a program that understands what you want, reasons, builds a plan, uses tools (a browser, a spreadsheet, another program) and does the work for you. NVIDIA’s idea is that instead of opening an app and doing everything by hand, you explain what you want and the agent solves it.
Huang summed it up like this: useful AI has arrived. For him it’s no longer a promise, it’s something that already makes real money. And he dropped a bold claim along the way: he says agents don’t destroy jobs but actually get more software engineers hired. Sounds great, but I’ll be honest: that still remains to be seen, and it comes from someone who has a lot to gain from you believing it.
RTX Spark: the reinvented PC
Here’s the part that actually matters if you build or buy machines. NVIDIA, together with Microsoft, announced a whole new line of PCs built for this era of agents. The star is RTX Spark, built on a new chip called N1X, made in partnership with MediaTek.
The numbers aren’t a joke: a Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores, one petaflop of AI performance, a 20-core Grace CPU, 128 GB of unified memory, a 3-nanometer process and 70 billion transistors. And the key part: it runs 100% of Windows and 100% of NVIDIA’s stack. In other words, everything you already use plus agents on top.
It’s not just a laptop. They announced desktop, laptop and workstation, all Windows-compatible. It’s the first time in 40 years they’ve redesigned the PC from the ground up.
A supercomputer in your house
This is where Huang got futuristic. His theory is that within a few years you’ll have a kind of AI supercomputer in your house, running 24/7, powering your agents, connected to your laptop, your cameras, your security system, whatever you want. He compared it to having a home theater or a console: just another thing in the house. He even compared it to R2-D2 or C-3PO from Star Wars.
For those who want the full beast, he showed a DGX Station for Windows with 768 GB of memory, 20 petaflops and 8 TB/s of bandwidth. A monster for running huge models without leaving your desk. That said, that one isn’t for the average user, it’s for developers with a very loose wallet.
But hold on a second
The whole presentation is spectacular, but it’s worth pulling the handbrake. First, almost everything on the bigger end is still in development or a promise: hardware that’s just getting started, models already on version 3 promising 4, 5 and 6. Second, the phrase he repeated all keynote long, “compute is revenue,” is basically NVIDIA’s business model. The more he convinces you that you need more power, the more he sells. He isn’t lying, but he isn’t a neutral observer either.
For me, the most solid and grounded thing of all is exactly RTX Spark and the idea of the PC with agents. That one really is coming to your desk. The rest —cars that reason, humanoid robots, $100 billion AI factories— is real, but it plays on another field, far from the everyday user.
The rest, quickly
So we don’t leave it out: he also announced Vera Rubin, the new giant system for data centers already in full production; a new CPU called Vera, designed for agents instead of people; Cosmos 3 and AlpaMio, models for robots and self-driving cars; and Isaac Groot, a reference humanoid robot. Plenty more to dig into in other videos.
The verdict
So there you go. Is a PC reinvention coming? Probably something changes, and RTX Spark is the most concrete piece of everything they showed. Are you going to have an R2-D2 in your living room running your house tomorrow? Easy there — between a CEO’s promise and what actually lands on your desk there’s usually a long road.
Tell me in the comments: can you picture replacing the way you use your computer with talking to an agent, or do you still prefer the good old click?
