Nvidia has recently shown DGX Spark, its Mac-mini-size AI Super Computer built around the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip.
Originally called project digits, the device is created to bring advanced model development and inference directly to desktops. Although it looks like a mini-PC, it is incredibly powerful and designed to deal with requiring AI workflows such as fine tuning, inference and prototype without relying on external infrastructure.
Targeted against developers, researchers, data scientists and students working with increasingly complex AI models locally, it comes with 128 GB LPDDR5X -collected memory and up to 4TB NVME SSD storage. The DGX gnist is not cheap for $ 3999, but if you want to save some money without cutting corners, there are some alternatives.
The easier choice
Dells Pro Max with GB10 and HP’s ZGX NANO AI -Station is DGX Spark clones, built around the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. Asus also has its own GB10 AI Supercomputer Clone, The Ascent GX10, which is priced at $ 2999, significantly less than NVIDIA’s offer.
Showed at NVIDIA GTC 2025 (which of course was Nvidia’s own DGX-GNIST), the rising GX10 comes with 128 GB of Unified Memory, and Blackwell GPU with the fifth generation of Tensorker and FP4 precision support. While DGX Spark has a 4TB storage space, the ASUS version has only 1 TB.
Servethehome Was at the conference and discovered the rising GX10 at Asus’s booth where it broke a few photos of the product.
The Site Also Noted, “The front of the system has the asus logo and a power button. This may sound strange, but asus using plastic on the outside of the chassis in part’s versus nvidia using more metal is an interesting trade-off. While the asus field lighter.
On the back of the system, Sth Says there is an HDMI port, four high-speed USB4 40 GBPS ports, a 10GBE NIC for basic network and a double port NVIDIA ConnectX-7, which Nvidia described as an Ethernet version of CX7 designed for RDMA cluster.
SthPatrick Kennedy noticed, “In some context here, an NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NIC these days often sells for $ 1500–2200 in single unit quantities, depending on the features and supply of the parts. To $ 2999 for a system with this built-in that is fantastic. Our sense is that people will quickly find out.”
