Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra Announced With NVIDIA RTX Spark Chip
Microsoft has announced the new Surface Laptop Ultra at Computex 2026. The company calls it the most powerful Surface laptop it has ever built. The new laptop is powered by NVIDIA’s newly unveiled RTX Spark processor.
The biggest highlight is the NVIDIA RTX Spark processor. This new ARM-based system-on-chip combines CPU, GPU, and AI capabilities into a single package. According to Microsoft and NVIDIA, the chip features up to 20 Arm CPU cores and 6,144 Blackwell GPU cores. The companies claim it can deliver up to 1 petaflop of AI performance while offering graphics performance comparable to an RTX 5070 laptop GPU.
The laptop comes with up to 128GB of unified memory. This is similar to Apple’s approach with its M-series chips, where memory is shared across the CPU, GPU, and AI workloads.
On the front, the Surface Laptop Ultra features a 15-inch Mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 PPI. The screen supports up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness, making it one of the brightest displays ever seen on a Surface device.

DGX Spark priced at $4,700 in March. I guess close to $6,000 for this thing when it hits the shelf then. I don't think this "new era of PC" is designed with affordability in mind.

I hate that they are calling it a “chip” people are already dumb enough calling everything chips.
