- Nvidia ditches the ground floor but hijack the limelight with Grace Blackwell-powered AI machines
- NVIDIA DGX SPARK delivers 1,000 tops in a Mini -PC targeted at serious AI developers and coders
- NVIDIA DGX station can boast of a 72-core CPU and 288 GB HBM3E GPU memory
On Computex 2025, Nvidia took a somewhat unconventional route by equating the main exhibition floor and instead hosting his own “GTC Taipei” event at a nearby hotel.
There, Nvidia Managing Director Jensen Huang provided a trio of keynote speaker at the event and revealed new AI-focused hardware. Among the biggest messages were two devices: DGX Spark, a compact mini-PC aimed at AI developers, and the DGX station, a more powerful workstation class system.
Although Nvidia-branded devices were showcased, the real surprise was the range of OEM partners who came to the initiative, with 11 models expected across the spark and station lines.

The DGX sparkle is built around the new NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, combining a 20-core arm CPU co-developed with Medatek (with 10 Cortex-X295 and 10 Cortex-X725 kernels) and a GPU based on Nvidias Blackwell architecture.
Nvidia’s AI Development Suite, also used in its data center platforms like Blackwell and jumps.
Several partners, including Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo and MSI, had models on screen. At first glance, however, the only visible differences were in the external design.
No internal demolition was allowed during the event and raised a valid question: How different are these OEM versions beyond aesthetics?
While the DGX gnist promises to be a strong competitor to the title Best Mobile Workstation for AI development, potential buyers may have to wait for detailed reviews before making a purchase.

The DGX station, which is more directly aiming for professionals who need advanced PCs for workstation, contains the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip.
It is equipped with 288 GB HBM3E memory on GPU and a 72-core Noversy V2 CPU paired with 496 GB LPDDR5X RAM, making it far from a regular desktop.
Like the spark, it runs on DGX OS and supports Nvidia’s full AI development stack.
DGX Station Board shown at the exhibition was a mockup, although the actual product was shown during a separate session.
Still, there are still questions about where completed the systems are, especially since full accessibility is not expected until the end of 2025.
In particular, the DGX station will only be available via OEMs, with Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and Supermicro leading the rollout.
This fragmented distribution model could introduce variation in build quality and thermal performance, critical factors for users looking for the best workstation -PC.
