NVIDIA Begins Sales of 3999 Dollar DGX Spark AI Developer PC NVIDIA has officially put its DGX Spark AI computer on sale starting today with a price tag of 3999 dollars. The compact system, first revealed earlier this year, packs the company’s complete AI platform including both GPUs and CPUs and the full NVIDIA AI software stack into a unit small enough for a standard office or lab environment. This machine is not intended for gaming. Its purpose is to provide developers, researchers, and data scientists with the computational power required to run and develop complex artificial intelligence models. Early recipients of the DGX Spark include major industry players such as Anaconda, Google, Hugging Face, Meta, and Microsoft. In a notable event, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang personally delivered one of the units to Elon Musk at the SpaceX headquarters in Starbase, Texas. Despite its small form factor and a weight of just 2.6 pounds, the DGX Spark offers significant power. At its heart is NVIDIA’s GB10 super system-on-chip, which combines a 20-core ARM CPU with a Blackwell GPU. This GPU features the same number of cores as the RTX 5070 GPU. The system is equipped with 128GB of LPDDR5x RAM that is shared between the CPU and GPU, and it includes 4TB of NVMe storage. For connectivity, it offers four USB-C ports, Wi-Fi 7, and an HDMI connector. NVIDIA is branding it the world’s smallest AI supercomputer. The DGX Spark operates on NVIDIA’s DGX OS, a custom-configured version of Ubuntu Linux that comes pre-loaded with AI software. This operating environment gives developers direct access to NVIDIA’s own AI models, software libraries, and microservices, enabling them to perform tasks such as refining image generation models or building sophisticated AI chatbots. This new mini PC also serves as an entry point to a broader category of similar devices. Other hardware vendors, including Dell, HP, Lenovo, and ASUS, showcased comparable AI-focused mini PCs at Computex this year, all based on the same GB10 chip. Acer’s Veriton GN100 is one such example of these emerging AI workstations. The NVIDIA DGX Spark is now available for purchase at 3999 dollars directly from NVIDIA and through its partner network. While the price is substantial, it is considered a relatively accessible cost for professional AI development, especially for the companies and institutions it targets. Given the specialized hardware inside, the price is viewed as competitive. Looking ahead, NVIDIA is already developing a more powerful model called the DGX Station, which will feature the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, delivering 20 petaflops of performance and 784GB of unified system memory. Pricing for that future model has not yet been announced.
