Nvidia Expands Beyond GPUs With RTX Spark-Powered PCs and SK Telecom AI Cloud

The PC superchip with built-in CPU tells customers Nvidia wants to sell full AI stacks while telecom deals aim to scale national AI infrastructure.

Overview

Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra will include Nvidia's RTX Spark superchip, a combined Blackwell GPU and 20-core Arm Grace CPU designed to deliver about 1 petaflop of local AI compute and run models up to roughly 120 billion parameters.
South Korea's SK Telecom said it will use Nvidia's DSX platform to build a gigawatt-scale AI cloud factory that is slated to come online next year and join Nvidia's Cloud Partner program.
Analysts have warned recent market gains may overstate the commercial reach of premium AI PCs, noting RTX Spark's reported price above $2,500 and comparing that to the weaker sales of lower-priced competitors like Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite.
Nvidia is selling this as part of a broader move into CPUs and full-stack infrastructure, pitching a large CPU market opportunity and expanding into networking and digital-twin use cases for industry customers.
Signs of tight supply for Blackwell-based systems and strong recent stock gains underline near-term demand for Nvidia hardware, but the deals make execution, pricing and real-world adoption the key next tests.
