Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Tuesday praised MediaTek's engineering capabilities as he appeared alongside the company’s CEO Rick Tsai (蔡力行) to discuss the jointly developed RTX Spark processor for Windows computers.
Speaking at a global media briefing, Huang said the project brought together hundreds of engineers from both companies and took nearly two years to complete.
The personal computer industry is undergoing its biggest transformation in four decades, Huang said, claiming that computers are evolving from traditional computing tools into platforms capable of running artificial intelligence agents with autonomous execution and reasoning abilities.
Huang said discussions with Microsoft about future generations of the Windows platform prompted Nvidia to consider what type of chips and computer architecture would be needed for AI agents. They decided to create RTX Spark, a system-on-chip platform designed to deliver high performance with low power consumption.
The platform incorporates Nvidia’s NVLink interconnect technology and is compatible with both Windows and the CUDA ecosystem. The Nvidia CEO said it is designed to support AI agent workloads, industrial applications, and gaming.
Tsai said the collaboration was challenging but successful. He noted that MediaTek's expertise in low-power CPU technology, combined with NVLink's high-speed connectivity and a unified memory architecture linking CPUs and GPUs, helped create what he described as an “ideal platform for AI agent computing.”
