Nvidia is tailoring its popular DGX Spark platform and the GB10 SoC to better fit the realities of today's AI models and the broader silicon supply crunch.
Key facts
- A "more affordable" DGX Spark is of course relative in today's market. 64GB GB10 systems from Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, and MSI are slated to start at $4999 when they launch on October 23
- Assuming you can find a 128GB GB10 system in stock, you can expect to pay roughly $7000 to $9000 for one right now, far above even Nvidia's adjusted MSRP
- The 128GB DGX Spark and Spark-alikes will remain available for those who need space for larger models and for scaling across clusters, or for more memory-hungry local AI work like model fine-tuning

Summary
Back when they first began exploring the capabilities of the DGX Spark and similar systems, the general assumption was that lots of RAM would be necessary to hold the most intelligent models one might want to run, and so unified memory systems built around AMD's Strix Halo, Nvidia's GB10, and Apple's M-series chips could all be configured with 128GB of memory or more. But the AI field moves fast. A "more affordable" DGX Spark is of course relative in today's market.
