Nvidia wants its laptops to behave like the talking computers from Star Trek, and it has already mapped out two more chip generations to chase that goal.
Key Points:
- Nvidia confirmed N2X and N3X chips are already planned, extending its RTX Spark line.
- Jensen Huang says the goal is voice-controlled, Star Trek-style PCs and Star Wars droids.
- The first Spark chips carry up to 128GB of RAM and target a roughly $3,000 price.
At Computex 2026 in Taipei, Jensen Huangconfirmed at least two more chip generations, codenamed N2X and N3X, that extend the current RTX Spark line.
The CEO said the first chip, internally called N1X, draws its name from a smaller sibling, the N1. More versions are coming.
Huang pitched the systems as machines families could keep at home for five to ten years, much like a home theater setup. He promised Nvidia would extend the architecture for a long time, and pointed to chips tied to its planned Vera Rubin and Rosa Feynman lines.

Huang wants to talk to his laptop the way Star Trek crews address a starship, and he held up R2-D2 from Star Wars as his model helper. He said he began working with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella about three years ago to push computing that way. He even floated texting a laptop through WhatsApp to fix a slide while traveling.
Local processing, he argued, keeps costs down and data private, because the tools a user needs already sit on the device. Renting cloud compute for a daily tool, he said, makes as little sense as renting a refrigerator.
Reporters who tracked the keynote read the multi-generation promise as a sign of long-term commitment, reassuring partners weighing the Windows platform. Even so, the hardware still has to prove itself. Eight laptops are due this fall built around the chip.
The first Spark holds up to 128GB of RAM, enough for 120-billion-parameter agents. It scales down to 16GB for cheaper builds. Huang admitted early power users will pay around $3,000 for that first generation.
Nvidia has spent recent weeks framing Spark as its bid to reinvent the PC after 40 years, and the roadmap shown this week pushes that bet well into the next decade. The company is betting it can become a major supplier of consumer laptop silicon, a market it has largely sat out.
