NVIDIA’s CEO has recently highlighted one of the company’s most groundbreaking innovations, the DGX Spark, by delivering it to billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. This event underscores the significance of the device within Jensen Huang’s vision for democratizing artificial intelligence.
NVIDIA’s DGX Spark Set for Retail Launch by October 15th, Empowering Users with Advanced AI Capabilities
Renowned for being one of the most compact supercomputers in the market, the DGX Spark combines extraordinary computational power with an emphasis on accessibility. Originally unveiled at CES 2025, this device represents a pivotal step towards making AI tools universally available. Huang’s recent delivery of a DGX Spark unit to Musk coincided with the 11th test of the Starship rocket, evoking memories of previous collaborations, such as when he delivered the inaugural DGX-1 system to Musk during his era at OpenAI.
Huang arrived walking past rows of engineers who waved and grinned. Moments later, Musk appeared in the cafeteria, greeting staff and opening donuts and chips for kids before grabbing a slice of pizza.

The DGX Spark is on track for availability through various retailers by October 15th, with pre-orders already possible via NVIDIA’s official website. Notable vendors, including Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo, and MSI, will also offer the device. For those seeking detailed specifications, this overview highlights the key features of the DGX Spark:
- NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip — Capable of delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision.
- 128GB of unified CPU-GPU memory — Enables developers to prototype, fine-tune, and run inference without the need to switch between different machines or cloud environments.
- NVIDIA ConnectX networking for enhanced clustering capabilities and NVIDIA NVLink-C2C to provide five times the PCIe bandwidth.
- NVMe storage for optimal speed and HDMI output for visual connectivity.
Although the DGX Spark’s launch had been postponed from its initial July timeline, the rescheduling was necessary due to the complexities associated with its custom NVIDIA and MediaTek GB10 SoC. Priced at approximately $3, 999, this mini-supercomputer promises to deliver exceptional performance for professionals, presenting significant AI computational capabilities in a portable format.
