NVIDIA Expands Personal AI Supercomputing: DGX Spark and DGX Station™ Unveiled at COMPUTEX
NVIDIA is pushing the boundaries, and at COMPUTEX they just made a significant expansion. Leading Taiwanese system builders are among those signing up to create and sell NVIDIA's DGX Spark and DGX Station™ systems, bringing personal AI supercomputing to a much wider audience.
Acer, GIGABYTE, and MSI are just some of the brand-name players jumping in. So developers, data scientists, and researchers globally will get more access to these powerful tools. Why is it such a huge deal. Because the requirements of AI these days are stiff. From enterprises to startups to research organizations, everyone needs serious computing muscle without compromising data privacy, model size, or scalability. And with AI systems getting more and more autonomous, the need for robust, localized processing is growing even higher.
Powered by the newest NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform, DGX Spark and DGX Station will allow innovators to prototype, iterate, and run inference on AI models, straight from their desktop, and then scale up to the cloud or data center effortlessly if needed.
As Jensen Huang, CEO and founder of NVIDIA, put it so aptly, "AI has revolutionized every layer of the computing stack." He sees these new platforms as being the direct successors of the DGX-1 that originally started the AI revolution, built ground-up for the next generation of AI R&D.
Welcome DGX Spark: Accelerating AI Breakthroughs
So, what's under the hood of the DGX Spark. It's packed with the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip and fifth-gen Tensor Cores. That results in a massive 1 petaflop of AI compute power and 128GB of unified memory. Nice aspect of it is that models trained on Spark can be exported directly to NVIDIA DGX™ Cloud or to any other accelerated cloud or data center.
This small titan is designed to enable developers, researchers, data scientists, and even students to push the limits in generative AI and speed their work in every form of industry.
DGX Station: For the Most Demanding AI Tasks
If you need even more oomph, the DGX Station is for you. It features the monster NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, with up to 20 petaflops of AI compute and a massive 784GB of unified system memory. The device provides the NVIDIA ConnectX®-8 SuperNIC as well, so super-fast networking up to 800Gb/s for quick connections and even multi-station scalability.
The DGX Station is adaptable. It can be a solitary, standalone desktop for an individual developer building sophisticated AI models with local data, or a shared on-demand compute resource for several teams. With NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU technology, it can be broken down into up to seven independent instances, each with its own dedicated resources, essentially a personal cloud for AI development teams.
Familiar Tools, Powerful Performance
To make developers' lives easier, both DGX Station and DGX Spark share the NVIDIA DGX operating system, pre-installed with current NVIDIA AI software. They also provide access to NVIDIA NIM™ microservices and NVIDIA Blueprints. This enables developers to use tools like PyTorch, Jupyter, and Ollama to train their models on DGX Spark and deploy them directly into DGX Cloud or any other accelerated environment.
Other worldwide tech titans are also getting into the act. One of the first is Dell Technologies. Michael Dell spoke to the shift toward systems capable of hosting next-gen intelligent workloads when he stated, "The interest in NVIDIA DGX Spark and NVIDIA DGX Station signals a new era of desktop computing." Dell's offerings, including the Dell Pro Max with GB10 and GB300, are designed to fill this growing enterprise need.
HP Inc. is also embracing this AI-fueled future. HP President and CEO Enrique Lores talked about their collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver new AI devices and experiences, with their HP ZGX series transforming desktop computing by offering data-center class AI performance for developers.
When Can You Get Your Hands on One.
Ready to get started. DGX Spark will go on sale in July through a wide distribution of partners like Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo, and MSI, as well as global channel partners. You can even pre-order yours today at nvidia and from NVIDIA partners.
Its even more potent cousin, the DGX Station, will be available later this year from ASUS, Dell Technologies, GIGABYTE, HP, and MSI.
