In the long arc of computing history, there are moments when a new architecture does not merely improve on what came before but redefines what a machine is meant to do. NVIDIA's RTX Spark chip, unveiled this week by Jensen Huang, is positioned as such a moment — embedding artificial intelligence not as an added feature but as the foundational logic of the personal computer. The announcement moved markets and unsettled competitors, yet the deeper tension it surfaces is an ancient one: whether a genuinely transformative tool will belong to the many or remain the province of the few who can affor
