Huang said that "once we start a new product line, once we start a new software image, we support it for as long as we shall live." He cited the long-lived Nvidia Shield TV platform as an example of how the company "takes great care" of the software of its devices, and he says that will be true for RTX Spark devices, as well.
He asserts that the software stack for RTX Spark "is likely the best software stack provided ever, and the software stack defines the experience of the user these days." He says those stacks are the reason why GeForce, Quadro, and RTX Pro products are already "deeply loved," because "we take care of the software."
Huang also touted the breadth of hardware companies that have signed up to make Spark systems as a vote of confidence in the future of the platform. Referring to the laptops on stage with him from Asus, Lenovo, Dell , MSI, Microsoft , and HP, he boasted that "this is literally every computer maker in the world," and "we have never seen anything like it. No new product, no new chip has ever been launched where this much of the world's computer ecosystem signed up."
Beyond the laptops and desktops Nvidia and its partners have already announced, Huang also notes that the RTX Superchip is the SoC formerly known as N1X, and that it has a second, smaller chip called N1 yet to be detailed. He also described N2 and N3 Spark chips for future systems that will power future AI PCs, a commitment he first revealed during his Monday Computex keynote.
Huang said, "We're going to expand our family… We're going to expand the footprint of this architecture, and we're going to extend this architecture for a very long time."

erazog Copilot PC's didn't set the market on fire because regular people don't use AI in that way. Plus there is very clear hostility towards Windows being an agentic OS. The digital life use case Jensen mentions matters more to smartphones than PC's as thats were the digital life market is and were AI actually matters in doing mundane tasks for you. PC's are used for only two things productivity and gaming, these machines only excel at CUDA AI development. That's not a compelling reason to buy when there are other options. Reply
