Computex: Nvidia shows PC roadmap to 2030

Nvidias' first own notebook processor for DGX Spark and upcoming RTX Spark systems will not remain a single day fly. Although there are hardly any devices with this, it is already clear: by 2030, two further processor generations with end-user focus appear. An updated roadmap showed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the Computex 2026 Hardware Fair.

For the period 2027–2028, Nvidia plans a PC processor under the code name Vera Rubin Spark, for 2029–2030 Rosa Feynman Spark. To date, Nvidia is limited to notebooks and mini-PCs; an extension to desktop PCs is not excluded.

The selection of architecture is remarkable, as Rubin has hitherto been an exclusive development for data centers. Accordingly, there would also have to be a 3D-suitable dumper suitable for end users. Consequently, contrary to previous expectations, GeForce graphics cards with ruby architecture could also appear. Nvidia also wants to switch from LPDDR5X storage to faster LPDDR6 at Vera Rubin Spark.

Nvidias Custom-Kerne get to PCs

With the naming it is already clear that Nvidia also changes to its self-designed ARM processor cores at PCs. In the current generation, standard Cortex cores from ARM are still sitting.

Nvidia places its own cores on a high single-threading performance, which also benefits PCs. Much singlethreading performance is still the most important factor to make Windows and Linux flott. In addition, games benefit enormously.

New Windows Workstations

In parallel with the notebooks and mini-PCs under Spark names, other DGX stations with Windows should also appear. However, Nvidia does not use PC processors, but expensive workstation hardware. In the upcoming version there is a GB300 Blackwell accelerator with a Grace CPU and a separate RTX Pro graphics card.

CPU and GPU are still the last generation. In 2027 a quick upgrade to Vera and Rubin would be possible.
