- Dell’s Pro Max GB10 remains unavailable as Asus ships its own powerful GB10 system
- Asus Ascent GX10 offers petaflop performance in a compact desktop package
- AI developers can buy Asus’ Grace Blackwell PC now for $4,100
Dell’s upcoming Pro Max GB10 AI workstation looks like a neat piece of kit, but sadly it’s not currently available to purchase.
The system, built around Nvidia’s new Grace Blackwell GB10 Superchip, appears with a “notify me when available” status on Dell’s website, with no indication of when that might be.
If you can’t wait for it to go on sale and don’t mind looking elsewhere, Asus already offers its own AI-focused desktop, the Ascent GX10.
First out the door
Asus’ mini beast uses the same GB10 hardware and can be ordered right now from Viperatech for $4,100. The retailer says it will ship in ten days.
Both systems, and others like Acer, are designed for researchers and developers who want data center-level power in a workstation-sized package.
The GB10 chip merges CPU and GPU resources into a single unit and delivers up to one petaflop of FP4 computing performance.
It comes with 128GB of LPDDR5x unified memory and supports models with up to 200 billion parameters, a scale that was once limited to large server clusters.
It features an ARM v9.2-A CPU paired with Nvidia’s integrated Blackwell GPU, running on the Grace Blackwell architecture.
Storage options range from 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs to 4TB PCIe 5.0 drives, providing ample space for data sets and project files.
Connectivity comes in the form of Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5, and 10G Ethernet.
Ports include multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C ports, one of which supports 180W Power Delivery, along with HDMI 2.1 for external displays.
At just 150mm square, 51mm tall and weighing 1.48kg, the GX10 is small but powerful and comes with advanced thermal management to keep everything cool and running smoothly even under heavy loads.
It also supports dual system stacking via Nvidia’s ConnectX-7 network and NVLink-C2C interface, enabling local computing expansion.
For developers eager to experiment with great AI models, Asus offers one of the few ready-to-ship systems based on Nvidia’s latest architecture.
