Nvidia Integrates Blackwell GPU into Compact Desktop System

Home Hardware Nvidia Integrates Blackwell GPU into Compact Desktop System

Nvidia is set to introduce "Project DIGITS," a mini desktop system showcased at CES. This small, square-shaped device functions as a personal supercomputer, running Nvidia's custom DGX OS, which is based on Ubuntu Linux. Although not a standalone product, Project DIGITS is designed as a peripheral that connects to a primary desktop PC to handle intensive AI workloads.

Targeted at AI developers, data scientists, and students, Project DIGITS offers access to Nvidia's Blackwell GPU technology at a lower cost. While a single Blackwell GPU unit can cost between $30,000 and $40,000, DIGITS will be available starting at $3,000 through Nvidia and its partners beginning in May.

DIGITS provides 1 petaflop of AI performance and supports AI models with up to 200 billion parameters, similar to OpenAI’s GPT-3. It features the GB10 Blackwell Supership and 128GB of unified system memory. The device requires no additional cooling or power setup and can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet. Additionally, using Nvidia ConnectX networking, two Project DIGITS units can be linked to support models with up to 405 billion parameters.
