The NVIDIA DGX Spark features the GB10 "Grace Blackwell" Superchip, offering 1 PFLOPs of FP4 compute for AI workloads, 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory in a unified subsystem, 4 TB of NVMe M.2 storage, and the latest ConnectX-7 Smart NIC. The system comes in a 150x150x50mm chassis, which makes it one of the tiniest AI systems on the market.
Currently, MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, Dell, and others offer their own custom DGX Spark systems in various configurations and price ranges.
It is stated that the specifications of NVIDIA DGX Spark systems have not been affected. Despite the price bump, the 128 GB memory configuration is retained. However, the price update would lead to other OEM partners who are offering their own DGX Spark systems to announce a price update too.
The DGX Spark AI system has been the main competitor against AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ Mini PCs, which also offer great bang for buck in AI-related tasks, but we have seen prices for those being bumped up, too, due to DRAM constraints that have engulfed the tech market. Currently, the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 in 128 GB configurations start at $2499 for Beelink's GTR9, $2599 for Framework's AI MAX 300, $2699 for GMKtec's EVO-X2, and go up to $3500+ for HP's Z2 Mini systems.
