The NVIDIA DGX Spark features the capabilities of the GB10 “Grace Blackwell”Superchip, which delivers approximately 1 PFLOP of FP4 compute performance for AI workloads. Additionally, the system is equipped with 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory within a unified subsystem, 4 TB of NVMe M.2 storage, and the advanced ConnectX-7 Smart NIC. Notably, the compact chassis of the DGX Spark, measuring only 150x150x50mm, positions it among the smallest AI systems available on the market.

Despite the new pricing, it’s important to note that the specifications of the NVIDIA DGX Spark remain unchanged, retaining the 128 GB memory configuration. However, this increase in MSRP is anticipated to prompt other original equipment manufacturers offering DGX Spark systems to adjust their pricing as well. Notably, the DGX Spark system competes directly with AMD’s Ryzen AI MAX+ Mini PCs, which have also seen price hikes due to widespread DRAM shortages affecting the technology sector.
