NVIDIA’s RTX Spark brings 20 cores, 128GB RAM, and 1 petaflop of AI performance to laptops

At COMPUTEX 2026, NVIDIA officially introduced its latest major consumer computer chip, the RTX Spark . The RTX Spark is not just a standard processor. It is a superchip that combines two parts. First, an NVIDIA Grace CPU with up to 20 cores. Second, an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores. That GPU is essentially an RTX 5070, the non Ti version. The chip comes with up to 128GB of fast LPDDR5X unified memory, which means the CPU and GPU share the same memory pool. It is built on TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process. The technology is based on NVIDIA’s GB10 chip, which is used inside the company’s DGX Spark platform. That platform is a line of small, powerful desktop computers aimed at businesses and runs a custom version of Ubuntu Linux. Speaking at the event, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said the main goal is not just gaming or video editing, though the chip works well for both. Instead, he focused on running AI agents directly on a local computer. AI agents are the next...

HONOR Win Turbo: 10,000mAh battery, Dimensity 8500 processor, 120Hz OLED display

HONOR adds a new device in the Win series, the HONOR Win Turbo. The word “Turbo” may refer to how it deeply prioritizes battery life as it has a more power-efficient chipset and no dedicated cooling fan. Like the HONOR Win and Win RT , the HONOR Win Turbo boasts a 10,000mAh battery. But unlike the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series, this one has an underwhelming but less power-hungry MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor. According to HONOR, it can last up to 26.3 hours of video playback, about 13.2 hours of gaming, and 17.3 hours of GPS navigation. That big battery is paired with an 80W wired charger, providing a full charge in an hour and a half. 27W reverse wired charging is also supported to power other devices. It boasts a 6.79-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a high 120Hz refresh rate. It’s paired with stereo speakers. The device ships with Android 16-based MagicOS 10. We also have a decent 50-megapixel main camera with optical image s...

Dell’s new XPS 13 laptop wants to compete with the MacBook Neo

Remember the Dell XPS 13 ? After disappearing from shelves last year, it is finally back. And this time, Dell is taking a direct shot at Apple’s MacBook Neo by doing something unusual: keeping the price very low. The new model is also the smallest and lightest XPS 13 the company has ever made. It measures 12.7mm thin and weighs only 2.2 pounds. Dell says that makes it even lighter and more compact than Apple’s competing laptop. So, what does it cost? The regular price is $699 (~Php42,000). But if you are a student, you can get it for just $599 (~Php36,000). That includes anyone over 16 in high school or anyone enrolled in a college that gives out degrees. For that price, the student version of the Dell XPS 13 comes with an Intel Core Series 3 chip, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of storage. If you want more power, you can pay extra for an Intel Core Ultra Series processor, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. You also get to pick between two colors: storm or sky. ...
