Nvidia (NVDA.O) on Monday unveiled a new chip that puts artificial intelligence capabilities directly into laptops and desktop computers, pitting it against the likes of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O), Intel (INTC.O) and Apple (AAPL.O), Reuters reports.
CEO Jensen Huang, who is in Taiwan for the Computex conference, said the RTX Spark PC chip is part of Nvidia's effort with Microsoft (MSFT.O) to "reinvent the PC" for the AI era after three years of collaboration between the companies.
The chip, developed with Taiwan's MediaTek (2454.TW), will debut this fall in laptops and compact desktops from Dell (DELL.N), HP (HPQ.N), Lenovo (0992.HK), ASUS (2357.TW), Microsoft Surface and MSI, with models from Acer and GIGABYTE to follow.
Industry experts said the processor would overhaul engagement with AI as it is designed to run autonomous AI agents locally rather than relying solely on cloud computing.
