- ASCENT GX10 is the ASUS version of the DGX Spark AI Supercomputers of NVIDIA
- Servethehome saw the product in GTC 2025 and left hand
- The site took photos and pointed out that computer AI is lighter and more cheap
Nvidia has recently been showing DGX Spark, her Mac Mini Mac Mini supercomputer built around GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip.
Originally called project digits, the device has been created to carry out the development of advanced models and inferences directly to desktop computers. Although it looks like a mini PC, it is incredibly powerful and is designed to handle workflows of demanding such as fine adjustment, inference and creation of prototypes without depending completely on external infrastructure.
Aimed at developers, researchers, data scientists and students who work with increasingly complex models locally, it comes with 128 GB of unified memory LPDDR5X and up to 4 TB of NVME SSD storage. The DGX Spark is not cheap at $ 3999, but if you are looking to save some money without cutting corners, there are some alternatives.
The lightest choice
Dell’s Pro Max with GB10 and the ZGX Nano AI station of HP are DGX Spark Clones, built around the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. Asus also has its own GB10 AI Supercomputer clone, the ASCENT GX10, which is priced at $ 2999, significantly lower than the Nvidia offer.
Shown in Nvidia GTC 2025 (as, naturally, it was Nvidia’s own DGX spark), the ASCENT GX10 comes with 128 GB of unified memory and the Blackwell GPU with fifth generation tensor nuclei and FP4 precision support. While DGX Spark has 4 TB of storage, the ASUS version only has 1 TB.
Servethehome He was at the conference and saw the Ascent GX10 at the Asus stand, where he took some photos of the product.
The site also pointed out: “The front of the system has the ASUS logo and an ignition button. This may sound strange, but Asus that uses plastic outside the chassis in versus nvidia parts using more metal is an interesting compensation. Nvidia DGX Spark feels much more like the Apple Mac lawsee from a density perspective, while the Asus felt lighter. Portable box, at hand, then, it may be a perspective of density, while Asus’s perspective.
In the back of the system, Hindrance He says there is an HDMI port, four USB4 40GBPS ports of high speed, a 10 gbe nic for base networks and a double-port NVIDIA-7, which NVIDIA described as an Ethernet version of the CX7 designed for the RDMA cluster.
HindrancePatrick Kennedy said: “For some context here, a nvidia Connectx-7 Nic in these days is often sold for $ 1500–2200 in quantities of a single unit, depending on the characteristics and supply of the pieces. To $ 299 by a system with this incorporated that is incredible. Our sense is that people will quickly solve cluster beyond these incredible.
