- The NVIDIA DGX station is driven by the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra
- The OEM are doing their own versions: Dell’s is the Pro Max with GB300
- HP’s next GB300 workstation will be the ZGX Fury AI G1N station
Nvidia has presented two DGX personnel supercomputers promoted by its Grace Blackwell platform.
The first is DGX Spark (previously called Project Digits), a compact AI supercomputer that runs in the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip in Nvidia.
The second is the DGX station, a supercomputer class work station that resembles a traditional tower and is built with the Nvidia GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra desktop superchip.
Dell and HP reveal their versions
The GB300 presents the latest tensioner nuclei and the FP4 precision, and the DGX station includes 784 GB of coherent memory space for large-scale training and inference of workloads, connected to a CPU Grace through NVLink-C2C.
The DGX station also has the Connectx-8 Supernic, designed to overcome AI Hipperscala computer workloads.
The NVIDIA OEM partners – Asus, HP and Dell – are producing DGX Spark rivals promoted by GB10 Superchip. HP and Dell are also preparing competitors for the DGX station using the GB300.
Dell has shared new details about its next AI work station, the PRO MAX with GB300 (its DGX Spark version is called Pro Max with GB10).
The specifications for its Supercomuter Class workstation include 784 GB of unified memory, up to 288 GB of GPU HBM3E and 496 GB of memory LPDDR5X for the CPU.
The system offers up to 20,000 FP4 calculation yield tops, which makes it very suitable for the training and inference of LLM with hundreds of billions of parameters.
The HP version of the DGX station is called the ZGX Fury AI G1N station. Z of HP is now one of the company’s products lines, and the “N” at the end of the name means that it works with a NVIDIA processor, in this case, the GB300.
HP says that the ZGX Fury AI G1N station “provides everything necessary for AI teams to build, optimize and climb models while maintaining security and flexibility”, pointing out that it will be integrated into the broader artificial intelligence station ecosystem of HP, together with the ZGX NAN AI G1N station announced previously (its DGX Spark alternative).
HP is also expanding its AI software tools and support offers, providing resources designed to expedite the productivity of the workflow and improve the development of the local model.
The price of the DGX station and the Dell and HP workstations are not yet known, but obviously they will not be cheap. The price of the small DGX Spark begins at $ 3,999, and the largest machines will cost significantly more.
