At GTC Taipei, NVIDIA introduced the RTX Spark Superchip, a platform capable of delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI performance while bringing the company’s CUDA and RTX ecosystem to Windows PCs. **Read Also: Chinese Customers Can Now Order NVIDIA's Vera CPUs: Report** ## Arm Momentum Continues Counterpoint expects Arm-based laptops to account for 33% of the global laptop market by 2030, supported by growing adoption of **Apple Inc.** (NASDAQ:AAPL) Silicon and **Qualcomm Inc.’s** (NASDAQ:QCOM) Snapdragon X-series processors. The firm noted that Apple’s transition to its M-series chips helped prove Arm’s viability in PCs, while Qualcomm’s partnership with **Microsoft Corporation** (NASDAQ:MSFT) pushed Windows on Arm into the mainstream through Copilot+ PCs. However, Counterpoint said high-performance workloads such as gaming, AI development, 3D graphics and workstation computing have remained largely dominated by x86-based systems from **Intel Corp.** (NASDAQ:INTC) and **Advanced Micro Devices Inc.** (NASDAQ:AMD). “NVIDIA’s entry into the AI PC market has the potential to reshape what has become a relatively mature PC industry by creating a new category of local AI inference machines,” the analysts wrote. ## Why NVIDIA May Be Different Counterpoint argued that RTX Spark could stand apart from existing Arm-based PCs because it combines a high-performance GPU, unified memory architecture, and direct compatibility with NVIDIA’s widely used AI software stack. The firm said the platform could become one of the most compelling systems for running large language models, AI agents, and generative AI applications directly on a PC. NVIDIA’s extensive CUDA developer ecosystem and links to its broader AI infrastructure portfolio could also help reduce software bottlenecks and speed adoption. ## Key Challenges Remain Despite the opportunity, Counterpoint said NVIDIA still must prove that Windows on Arm software compatibility is mature enough for broad adoption. Pricing could also be a hurdle. The firm noted that high-performance AI hardware typically comes with higher costs, making market positioning critical. Counterpoint added that widespread adoption will ultimately depend on whether local AI inference becomes a mainstream consumer use case rather than remaining limited to developers and AI professionals. The report was authored by Counterpoint Research analysts Minsoo Kang and David Naranjo and published on Friday. **NVDA Price Action:** NVIDIA shares were up 0.61% at $206.11 during premarket trading on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data. _Photo via Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [ARM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARM.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [ARMU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARMU.US.md) - [NVYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVYY.US.md) - [ARMW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARMW.US.md) - [NVDB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDB.US.md) - [NVDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDG.US.md) - [NVDO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDO.US.md) - [NVDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDW.US.md) - [ARMG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARMG.US.md) - [NYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NYYY.US.md) - [SMH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [SOXQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXQ.US.md) - [XSD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [PSI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [FTXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FTXL.US.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [QCOM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QCOM.US.md) - [MSFT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [ANALYSIS-Nvidia's AI PC push banks on unproven demand beyond niche users](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289042406.md) - [Nvidia or AMD: Top Investor Says Only One AI Stock Is Worth Buying](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289369149.md) - [South Korea's Naver to build gigawatt-scale AI factories using Nvidia technology](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288973405.md) - [21:00 ETGIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX™ 50 Series AI BOX: potencia de PC y un ecosistema de IA accesible en portátiles Ultrabook](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289392616.md) - [Apple's Biggest AI Bet Yet Runs On NVIDIA, Not Its Own Chips](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289178134.md)
