Nvidia launches 64GB DGX Spark configuration at $4,999, shipping Oct 23 through Acer, ASUS, Dell, GIGABYTE, HP and MSI
What happened
On October 2, 2026, Nvidia unveiled a new 64GB unified-memory configuration of its DGX Spark personal AI supercomputer, starting at $4,999 and shipping October 23, 2026 through hardware partners Acer, ASUS, Dell, GIGABYTE, HP and MSI. The system keeps the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, DGX OS and the full Nvidia AI software stack (Agent Toolkit, CUDA-X, Nemotron models, Ollama, vLLM, PyTorch); Nvidia says a single 64GB unit can run AI models with up to 100 billion parameters on-device. Two units can be linked over ConnectX-7 QSFP cable to pool 128GB of unified memory — supporting 200B+ parameter models with up to 1.7x the performance of a single system in Nvidia's Qwen3 8 27B internal test — and Nvidia plans a Sync Model Launcher at month-end. The launch effectively replaces the $4,999 price point that the 128GB model occupied before memory-cost inflation pushed it past $6,000 (nearly 75% above its $3,999 launch price).

- Nvidia (NVDA): direct revenue catalyst — a lower-priced local AI tier broadens the DGX Spark addressable market and keeps volume flowing despite memory-cost inflation.
- Dell (DELL): hardware partner — Dell will sell DGX Spark 64GB systems, adding a branded local-AI product to its AI-infrastructure portfolio alongside its $95B server backlog.
- AMD: competitive pressure — DGX Spark is benchmarked against AMD Ryzen AI Max/Halo systems with up to 128-192GB unified memory; Nvidia's CUDA stack vs AMD's ROCm is the key battleground for local-AI developers.
- Memory suppliers (Micron, SK Hynix): pricing signal — Nvidia openly attributes the new SKU and 128GB price hikes to memory cost inflation, underscoring the DRAM pricing cycle.
