Nvidia CEO: 4-Year AI PC Project is 'So Beautiful'

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed immense admiration for Microsoft's newly revealed Surface Laptop Ultra, calling the four-year development process a "work of love." This revolutionary device, slated for release on October 16, 2026, marks the first time a Microsoft product is powered by an Nvidia chip.

The Surface Laptop Ultra is engineered for developers and AI specialists, featuring Nvidia's RTX Spark platform with an N1X processor and RTX Blackwell graphics. Supporting up to 128GB of unified memory, it offers configurations with 24GB or 32GB of RAM and storage up to 1TB, making it ideal for intensive applications.

Huang detailed his vision for an AI-powered personal computer capable of running agentic systems locally. He imagined users could "text" their PCs to perform complex tasks, leveraging the device's 1 petaflops of computing power. This next-generation machine runs every AI framework and model, signifying a new era for personal computing.

The collaboration between Nvidia and Microsoft resulted in a completely new chip and a new line of PCs. Huang emphasized the shared memory design of the GPU and its capability to run all PC functions, envisioning a future where personal computers are indispensable tools for advanced AI operations.
