Nvidia has emerged as the world's most valuable company by dominating the market for AI chips in the data center. Now the company is expanding its prowess to chips that will serve as the main processor for personal computers, entering an arena that's long been ruled by Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Qualcomm and Apple.

During a keynote address at Taiwan's Computex conference on Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a new N1X processor made alongside Microsoft. It will be incorporated into a new RTX Spark superchip, debuting in the fall on a fresh line of Windows PCs from Microsoft, Dell, HP, ASUS, Lenovo and MSI.
