The ongoing memory shortage has prompted Nvidia to create a 64GB version of its DGX Spark mini PC, which runs AI models locally. The only problem?
Nvidia has introduced a new version of its DGX Spark mini PC with 64 GB of unified memory, priced at $4,999. This is $1,000 more than the 128 GB version's launch price, according to PCMag. The new model is a more affordable option for those looking to run AI models locally, amid an ongoing memory shortage.
The 64 GB DGX Spark variant is offered exclusively through hardware partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, and MSI. The Register reports that Nvidia had previously increased the price of its 128 GB DGX Spark to $6,950, a nearly 75 percent increase from the previous year, due to skyrocketing memory prices.
The DGX Spark was initially expected to retail for around $3,000, but its price has experienced "pricing creep" since its unveiling at CES last year. Despite this, the 64 GB model still offers a significant amount of GPU memory, although it is less than what was available in the original DGX Spark system.
