Nvidia confirms more RTX Spark processors are coming with N2X and N3 series lined up

Huang confirming a multi-generation roadmap before the first device has even shipped is the clearest signal yet that this is a decade-long commitment.

The PC and laptop industry has run on Intel and AMD silicon so long that most people don’t even question whether these are the only options. 

Nvidia just answered that question at Computex 2026, in the form of the RTX Spark superchip, and Jensen Huang’s comments about what comes next suggest that it wasn’t a one-time experiment. 

Are more RTX Spark iterations on the way?

In a Q&A session with Tom’s Guide at Computex 2026, Nvidia’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, confirmed that N1X (the internal codename for RTX Spark) is the first entry in a long-term lineup.

“N2X and N3X are already planned,” Huang said. He also confirmed that “N1X is called N1X because it has a smaller version called N1.” This suggests there is an unreleased N1 version of the chip somewhere in the company’s product pipeline.

“We’re going to expand our family,” the CEO confirmed, signalling that there will be more iterations or successors of the RTX Spark architecture. Huang also compared the RTX Spark-powered systems with something that they can keep in their homes for 5-10 years, just like his home theater system. 

Will there ever be an RTX Spark gaming handheld?

Making sure that the RTX Spark platform works flawlessly across the entire Windows ecosystem is Nvidia’s top priority right now. However, upon being asked about an Spark-based gaming handheld, Huang’s answer was cautiously encouraging.

“If somebody wants to do it, we’ll work with them on it.” However, it’s the anti-cheat compatibility that remains one of the biggest active challenges before gaming on RTX Spark becomes viable at scale. 

If you’d ask me, Nvidia entering the consumer PC silicon market was always a matter of when, and not if. What makes RTX Spark important is not the first chip that the company has announced but the product roadmap and the long-term commitment behind it.

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.
