DGX Spark, Useful for Solo Entrepreneurs and Researchers
Limited to 20,000 Units Worldwide
Available in Asia Only in Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan

Nvidia's personal artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer, the 'DGX Spark,' which was unveiled at the company's developer conference (GTC) in March this year, will be available for purchase in South Korea starting next month, limited to 1,500 units.

According to the AI industry on June 12, DGX Spark will officially go on sale for the first time in Korea at the end of next month. A total of 20,000 units will be sold worldwide, with 1,500 units allocated to Korea. Each customer is limited to purchasing one unit. Online pre-order reservations will be available through Nvidia's partner companies, including Asus, Dell, and HP. Notably, in Asia, sales will be limited to only four countries: Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan.

DGX Spark is expected to serve as a tool for one-person businesses, freelance developers, and early-stage startups to achieve results in the generative AI market. It can be used to create customized in-house chatbots for companies, generate AI images for advertising, and produce AI-based video content. The price is $3,999.

Nvidia is promoting DGX Spark as a "Blackwell AI supercomputer on your desk." DGX Spark is equipped with the latest Blackwell graphics processing unit (GPU) and the Grace CPU-based GB10 chip.

Nvidia's 'DGX Spark'

With dimensions of 15 cm in both length and width and weighing 1.2 kg, it is a compact device that fits in one hand, yet delivers powerful AI performance of 1 petaflops (PELOPS). Petaflops is a term combining peta (representing 10 to the 15th power) and flops (floating point operations per second), meaning it can perform one quadrillion mathematical operations per second.

By using DGX Spark, users can develop AI services based on large language models (LLMs) without the need for costly cloud infrastructure. It can test or validate AI models with up to 200 billion parameters. The device is equipped with a 4-terabyte (TB) storage drive, which can store approximately 1,300 movies of 3GB each, and 128GB of unified memory.

Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, introduced this product at GTC, stating, "It will be the best gift for software engineers, AI researchers, and data scientists."
