Literally more expensive than every computer I’ve assembled put together.
Bravo, I’m sure the vfx departments of both studios that buy one will love it! (Is joke pls no yell)
Competition can’t come soon enough in the GPU space, hopefully both AMD and Intel perform well enough in this generation to present more of challenge to Nvidia in the next gen.
This is was I was surprised that the Nvidia was aiming for ~$3,000 for the baseline version of their DGX Spark desktop systems.
That’s because the base version of the spark is pretty trash. When you consider memory bandwidth (~275GB/s), and cpu (cortex 925/975), 3k is a gigantic ask when there are strix halo minipcs for a fraction of that price that will likely sport similar performance at the end of the day, and be much more flexible than the dgx.
The DGX Initiative is likely an attempt to offload rejected blackwell dies from cancelled orders due to how shit blackwell turned out to be server side. They’re trying to leverage the hype while offloading the dies on a higher margin market.
