Nvidia chases $200B CPU market with AI agent PCs from Microsoft, Dell, and HP (techcrunch.com)

Nvidia opened Taipei’s enormous Computex trade show on Sunday with a spark, literally. The chipmaker unveiled a new PC CPU called the RTX Spark, which it dubbed a “superchip,” and named a who’s who list of PC makers that will soon deliver AI PCs powered by it.

Still, PC manufacturers have not released a lot of specifics about each of their offerings, including pricing. These systems appear to be full-fledged Windows versions of the DGX Spark mini-computer that Nvidia already sells to developers for about $4,800.

I’m expecting this to fall flat on its face the same way Windows RT did.

It’s an ARM based processor, which would be fine for Linux, but they keep mentioning Microsoft and Windows. Microsoft already tried an ARM approach but it failed because it had a very limited software set.

Unlike Linux, almost all binaries are compiled for x86, not ARM. So companies would either have to supply their source code to compile on install, or compile ARM binaries in advance, which I don’t see a lot doing.

Edit: they could also try x86 emulation, which would be even worse and would have its own compatibility and performance issues.

Now that nobody can afford to buy a new computer, they’re definitely gonna make billions!

Sold three computers and got a billion in revenue, right

This smells like they are preparing for the collapse of openAI and Anthropic, so they can keep selling back to consumers

I hope you're right. It's time for private equity to take a massive beating.
