Nvidia's RTX Spark roadmap runs to 2030 and hints at when next-gen RTX GPUs are coming

Nvidia used Computex to formally unveil RTX Spark, a new PC platform built with Microsoft running Windows on Arm, covering laptops, desktops, and workstations. Jensen Huang confirmed the platform has a roadmap stretching to at least 2030, with a new RTX Spark device planned for every architecture generation.

The first wave, Grace Blackwell, arrives in 2026 and packs 6144 GPU cores, 20 Grace CPU cores, and up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory — all on a single package. Vera Rubin follows in 2027–28 with LPDDR6 memory, and Feynman is slated for 2030, though nothing beyond the name is confirmed for that one. Huang also announced Vera Rubin is now in full production, though he was talking about datacentre chips rather than gaming cards. On the gaming side, he held up two RTX Spark laptops running 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6, and Nvidia posted a single performance claim: 100 FPS at 1440p with ray tracing and DLSS on Forza Horizon.

The roadmap also gives a rough window for next-gen discrete RTX GPUs. Since RTX Spark tracks each new architecture, Vera Rubin and Feynman gaming cards should land around the same windows — or earlier, since integrated platform chips typically trail discrete GPU launches. Huang declared that "100% of the world's PC industry" has joined the RTX Spark push, though Qualcomm and Apple have their own legitimate claims to shaking up the ARM PC space in recent years.

RTX Spark is set to launch this fall, but questions around x86 app emulation and how well it holds up in practice remain unanswered for now. More details should surface as the launch approaches.
