NVIDIA is reviving the DGX series of desktops, this time with Grace Blackwell Ultra processors that deliver up to 20 PFLOPS of performance in AI operations.
The NVIDIA DGX Spark and DGX personal computers are designed for artificial intelligence developers, researchers, and enthusiasts. They allow you to set up and run large AI models right on your desk. Users can run models locally or deploy them to NVIDIA DGX Cloud or another cloud.
NVIDIA calls DGX Spark the world’s smallest AI supercomputer. At its «heart» is the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell processor, optimized for the desktop form factor, the GB10 is equipped with a powerful NVIDIA Blackwell professional graphics card that delivers up to 1000 trillion operations per second of AI performance. The chip utilizes NVIDIA NVLink C2C interconnect technology to create a CPU+GPU system that is five times faster than PCIe 5.0-based systems with 128 GB of unified system memory.
The NVIDIA platform allows DGX Spark users to easily move their AI models from desktop to DGX Cloud or any accelerated cloud or data center infrastructure. The migration occurs with virtually no code changes, making it easier to prototype, fine-tune, and iterate workflows.
The NVIDIA DGX Station «delivers data center-level performance in a desktop computer for AI workloads. It is the first desktop system to be built on the new NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip. The DGX Station has 784 GB of coherent RAM to accelerate large-scale AI training and workloads. The GB300 Desktop system consists of an NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPU and an NVIDIA Grace processor connected via NVLink-C2C.
The DGX Station also features the NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, optimized for scalable AI computing workloads with network speeds of up to 800 Gbps. The ConnectX-8 SuperNIC provides high-speed connectivity for multiple DGX Stations for larger workloads.
Additionally, NVIDIA DGX users can access NVIDIA NIM microservices through the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, which offers highly optimized, easy-to-deploy inference microservices with enterprise support. DGX Spark starting at $3000 is available now, with DGX Station expected from ASUS, BOXX, Dell, HP, Lambda, and Supermicro later this year.
