Nvidia DGX Spark hits $4,699 as memory shortages drive 18% price jump across global markets

Nvidia DGX Spark gets 18% price increase as memory shortages bite -- Founders Edition now $4,699, up from $3,999

Nvidia has announced a price increase for its DGX Spark AI mini-PC powered by the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. As per Nvidia's official developer forums, the company is raising the price due to the constrained memory supplies worldwide. The MSRP has now been revised from $3,999 to $4,699, a substantial increase of $700. Nvidia also notes that while the new pricing is already reflected on Nvidia.com, other sales channels may take longer to update. First showcased at CES 2025 as Project Digits, Nvidia started selling the DGX Spark in October 2025 after facing a delay in May. An AI supercomputer that can easily fit on your desk, the DGX Spark is highly portable, measuring just 5.9" by 5.9" by 2", and is ideal for AI developers, researchers, and data scientists. According to Nvidia, it has been custom-tailored to the needs of local AI inference and development and can run inferences on many of today's popular AI models. The GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip powering the DGX Spark has been made in collaboration with MediaTek, featuring 10 Arm Cortex-X925 and 10 Cortex-A725 CPU cores and a Blackwell GPU capable of delivering up to 1 petaFLOP of AI inferencing performance. There's also 128GB of LPDDR5X coherent unified memory that can be shared between the CPU and GPU, as well as a 4TB NVMe SSD for storage. The device itself features a USB-C power input, three USB-C 20Gbps ports with DisplayPort alt mode support, an HDMI 2.1a port, a 10Gb Ethernet port, and two QSFP ports for the onboard ConnectX 7 NIC running at up to 200 Gbps. With the ability to support up to 200-billion-parameter models locally (assuming FP4 quantization), one can even connect two of these units using the built-in Nvidia ConnectX 7 NIC to gain double the performance. The DGX Spark runs on Nvidia's DGX OS, which is based on Ubuntu and supports the CUDA software stack, which has become crucial for AI development. Nvidia has also roped in a range of software partners to ensure that their tools work well with DGX Spark, including Anaconda, Cadence, ComfyUI, Docker, Google, Hugging Face, JetBrains, LM Studio, Meta, Microsoft, Ollama, and Roboflow. If you're interested in the DGX Spark, several OEM partners, including Dell, Asus, MSI, and HP, also offer similarly designed systems built around comparable hardware, delivering similar levels of performance. In fact, the Asus Ascent GX10 is a solid alternative to the DGX Spark as it is cheaper at $3,266.53, with the only difference being a smaller 1TB SSD. Nvidia confirmed the updated pricing for the DGX Spark took effect this week, but that existing orders will be honored at the pricing at the time of ordering. No hardware changes have been made to the device as part of the increase.

NVIDIA DGX Spark Sees $700 Price Hike Due To Ongoing Memory Shortages, $4699 New Pricing

NVIDIA DGX Spark "AI" Systems Affected By Memory Constraints Too, Pricing Sees $700 US Hike In a forum post, NVIDIA has confirmed that the MSRP of its DGX Spark AI system has been adjusted and reflects the ongoing memory shortages. The pricing update is specific to the DGX Spark Founders Edition, the one sold by NVIDIA itself. As per the new pricing update, the DGX Spark will see a $700 US hike. Previously, the system was priced at $3999 US, but with the new update, the pricing has been adjusted to $4699. This is a drastic increase & NVIDIA has also confirmed that the new pricing goes live this week. We have adjusted the MSRP of DGX Spark (Founders Edition) due to worldwide constraints in memory supply. DGX Spark continues to offer industry-leading AI performance in an ultra compact desktop form factor. What changed? The MSRP for DGX Spark (Founders Edition) has been adjusted from $3,999 to $4,699 due to memory supply constraints When did this go into effect? The updated pricing went live this week. Why was the price adjusted? The price adjustment reflects industry wide memory supply constraints. DGX Spark continues to deliver industry-leading desktop AI performance and strong value relative to comparable AI infrastructure solutions. Does this affect OEM pricing for GB10 systems? This MSRP adjustment is for the NVIDIA DGX Spark, powered by GB10. Pricing questions for OEM GB10 powered systems should be directed to the OEM. Why do I see DGX Sparks listed for $3,999 at other sites like Amazon and Microcenter? We have adjusted pricing at NVIDIA.com. Other sales channels may take longer to reflect the change. Are there any product changes associated with this price increase? No. There are no hardware or configuration changes tied to this adjustment. Does this affect global pricing? Yes, the updated MSRP applies to all regions. Does this impact existing orders? No. The pricing applied at the time of ordering will be honored. via NVIDIA The NVIDIA DGX Spark features the GB10 "Grace Blackwell" Superchip, offering 1 PFLOPs of FP4 compute for AI workloads, 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory in a unified subsystem, 4 TB of NVMe M.2 storage, and the latest ConnectX-7 Smart NIC. The system comes in a 150x150x50mm chassis, which makes it one of the tiniest AI systems on the market. It is stated that the specifications of NVIDIA DGX Spark systems have not been affected. Despite the price bump, the 128 GB memory configuration is retained. However, the price update would lead to other OEM partners who are offering their own DGX Spark systems to announce a price update too. The DGX Spark AI system has been the main competitor against AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ Mini PCs, which also offer great bang for buck in AI-related tasks, but we have seen prices for those being bumped up, too, due to DRAM constraints that have engulfed the tech market.
