Nvidia RTX Spark
Category: high-end computer SoC
Bar none, the most notable announcement made during this year’s Computex cycle has been Nvidia’s new RTX Spark computing platform. The ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) has been dubbed a ‘superchip,’ having been designed in collaboration with MediaTek, Microsoft, and other key industry players.
The RTX Spark in its high-end configuration features up to 20 CPU cores, up to 6,144 RTX GPU cores, and up to 128GB of unified memory. The chip is already confirmed to be arriving on several new Windows 11 PCs
with a focus on both creative workflows and on on-device agentic AI tasks.
Asus ROG Xbox Ally X20 Bundle
Category: handheld gaming PC
Asus is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of its Republic of Gamers (ROG) sub-brand at Computex this year, with the company revealing a slew of new limited edition hardware products and peripherals.
The ROG Xbox Ally X20 Bundle stole the show, featuring not only a fancy new handheld PC exterior designed to commemorate ROG’s anniversary, but also a bigger, brighter display that uses OLED technology, improved buttons and thumbsticks, and other refinements throughout.
A pair of ROG XREAL R1 augmented reality (AR) glasses are also included here as part of the bundle, though it’s unclear if the X20 will eventually be sold separately and in non-themed colorways.
Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra

MSI MPG OLED 322URDX36

MSI’s new MPG OLED 322URDX36 has a long-winded name, to be sure, but that’s not stopping it from being an impressive bit of kit on the whole. This 31.5-inch gaming monitor is notable for being the first ever to offer 4K UHD resolution at a refresh rate of 360Hz, which is mightily impressive.
The monitor’s Tripe Mode feature allows it to quickly switch to 2K at 520Hz and to FHD at 680Hz, adding extra flexibility to the mix. Panel colors are another focus here, with the monitor coming equipped with a DarkArmor Film that’s said to improve black levels by up to forty percent, and with various other certifications on deck.
Intel ARC G3 / ARC G3 Extreme
Category: handheld gaming PC processor
Intel has renewed its focus on handheld gaming PCs at Computex 2026, having introduced an all-new processor platform called the ARC G3. Alongside the higher-end ARC G3 Extreme, these chipsets are designed using the same underlying architecture found in Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) processors, which should result in major performance-per-watt gains. Serving as a major competitor to AMD’s popular mobile gaming chip offerings, Intel has already confirmed that several device makers are on board with the ARC G3 platform.
