I’ve been spending time with Qualcomm at Computex 2026, and if, like me, you were wondering how the company — which once had the Windows on Arm market pretty much all to itself — will respond to Nvidia’s announcement of a rival Arm-based RTX Spark chip for Windows 11 laptops and desktop PCs, then I have good news.
Responding to a question about what Qualcomm would like to say to Nvidia regarding the RTX Spark, Kedar Kondap, SVP and GM of Compute and Gaming, gave a simple answer: “Welcome to the family.” Rather than identifying Nvidia’s upcoming Arm chip as a threat, it seems Qualcomm is viewing it as an opportunity that will expand Windows on Arm adoption.
