Nvidia has scheduled RTX Spark laptop availability for October 16, 2026, and says compact desktop systems are slated for November. The Windows PC platform is aimed at local AI, creative work, and gaming; Nvidia’s separate DGX Station for Windows is an enterprise deskside system expected in Q4 2026.
Nvidia schedules RTX Spark laptops for October 16
Nvidia announced October 16, 2026, as the availability date for RTX Spark laptops and said compact desktops would be available in November. These are Nvidia’s announced schedules. The announcement does not give a specific November day for desktops.
RTX Spark covers Windows laptops and compact desktops built around Nvidia’s Grace CPU, Blackwell RTX GPU, and unified memory. Nvidia named Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, MSI, and Gigabyte among the system makers.
What Nvidia lists for RTX Spark
Nvidia lists two RTX Spark laptop configurations. They have 18- or 20-core Grace CPUs and Blackwell RTX GPUs with 5,120 or 6,144 cores, depending on configuration. The listed memory ceilings are 64GB or 128GB of unified LPDDR5X. Both configurations list Windows 11 and a 45–80W thermal design power (TDP) range.
Nvidia lists the compact desktop separately: a 20-core Grace CPU, a 6,144-core Blackwell RTX GPU, up to 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory, Windows 11, and a 140W TDP. The laptop and desktop figures describe different form factors and configurations.
Nvidia says RTX Spark can deliver up to one petaflop of FP4 AI performance. That is a manufacturer-stated figure, not an independent performance result.
DGX Station for Windows is a separate system
DGX Station for Windows is not another RTX Spark configuration. Nvidia describes it as an enterprise deskside system based on the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, with a 72-core Grace CPU and up to 748GB of coherent memory. Nvidia lists performance of up to 20 petaflops FP4 and says the system can run models of up to one trillion parameters.
The announced expansion options include ConnectX-8 networking rated up to 800Gb/s and the ability to pair the system with an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation GPU. Nvidia announced the Windows system on May 31, 2026, and expected availability in Q4 2026.
The distinction is practical: RTX Spark is Nvidia’s Windows laptop and compact-desktop platform, while DGX Station is built for enterprise-scale AI work at a desk. Their memory capacities and performance figures belong to different systems.
Nvidia’s stated workloads: local AI, creation, and gaming
Nvidia positions RTX Spark for running AI locally, creative applications, gaming, and AI agents on Windows PCs. The company says the platform combines CUDA workloads with RTX graphics. Microsoft’s Execution Containers provide an operating-system-level environment for agents in the Windows context discussed alongside RTX Spark.
Nvidia’s promotional video presents RTX Spark in creator workflows involving video editing, 3D rendering, and generative AI. Those scenes illustrate the intended uses, rather than independently measuring performance.
What US buyers can see
Nvidia’s US RTX Spark product page advertises preorder access. Its announced laptop schedule is October 16, 2026; compact desktops are scheduled for November.
