When we first got our hands on the NVIDIA DGX Spark back in October, it was clear that NVIDIA was serious about shrinking datacenter-class AI down to something that could live on a desk. Our initial Founders Edition sample gave us an early look at what the Grace Blackwell-based GB10 platform could do in a

With the initial release of NVIDIA’s DGX Spark platform, we’re now seeing different vendors package the GB10 Grace Blackwell foundation into their own compact desktop systems. While the core board and silicon remain standardized, differences emerge in chassis design, cooling behavior, storage configuration, and overall execution. In this review, we’re focusing on GIGABYTE’s implementation with

The ASUS Ascent GX10 follows the same core build around the NVIDIA GB10 Superchip, pairing an Arm v9.2-A CPU complex with integrated Blackwell graphics and 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory. NVIDIA rates the platform at up to 1 petaFLOP of FP4 AI compute, supporting model fine-tuning up to 200 billion parameters. CPU and GPU communication

At Mobile World Congress 2026, AMD announced an expanded Ryzen AI portfolio with new desktop parts and broader mobile coverage, positioning the Ryzen AI 400 Series as a single platform spanning high-performance desktops, laptops, and mobile workstations. The company introduced the AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series desktop processors, along

The Dell Pro Rugged 10 and 12 tablets are engineered for professionals in the most demanding environments, from construction sites to industrial floors, where standard hardware cannot withstand the rigors. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra “Lunar Lake” Series 2 processors, these tablets are among the first fully rugged slates to feature a built-in

Intel is expanding its workstation portfolio with the introduction of Intel Xeon 600 processors for client workstations, a new high-end desktop platform designed for heavily threaded, memory-intensive, and accelerator-rich professional workloads. Positioned above mainstream desktop workstation CPUs, the Xeon 600 targets engineering, simulation, AI development, media production, and financial modeling environments where scale, bandwidth, and

AMD continues to expand its Ryzen 9000 series family with the introduction of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D. It’s an 8-core, 16-thread processor designed to build on the strengths of AMD’s earlier X3D offerings. We received a Ryzen 7 9850X3D sample in the lab and ran a comprehensive set of benchmarks to compare it with the

After a long wait, the NVIDIA DGX Spark was released last year, with the hope of fostering a new wave of AI engineers and researchers. At StorageReview, we’ve received multiple DGX Spark systems from various partners for evaluation, and we’re developing some exciting cluster projects. However, the thermal and power characteristics across these different implementations

At CES 2026, AMD refreshed its client CPU roadmap for consumer, commercial, and enthusiast desktops, emphasizing on-device AI acceleration while maintaining familiar priorities such as battery life, thin-and-light performance, and high-end gaming. The updates include new Ryzen AI 400 Series processors for Copilot+ PCs. There is a Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series stack for business
