On June 3, Qualcomm fell 3.01% in pre-market trading, trading at $233.35/share, with trading volume of $21.77 million. The stock continued its decline following NVIDIA's announcement of its RTX Spark super chip targeting the Windows PC market.
NVIDIA officially unveiled the RTX Spark Superchip at Computex Taipei, featuring NPU computing power exceeding 100 TOPS — more than double the approximately 45 TOPS offered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite. Dell, HP, Microsoft, and Lenovo are set to launch laptops and desktops equipped with the new chip starting this fall. The market views this as a direct challenge to Qualcomm's dominant position in Windows AI PCs, where the Snapdragon X series had previously secured exclusive binding with Microsoft's first wave of Copilot+ PC orders.
Analysts believe NVIDIA's entry leverages its superior AI software ecosystem to form a dimensional advantage over Qualcomm, severely compressing Qualcomm's growth potential in the Windows PC segment. Qualcomm's stock had already plunged as much as 10% on the initial announcement, and continued selling pressure reflects persistent investor concerns over eroding competitive moats.
