NVIDIA Launches 64GB DGX Spark Model and Increases Price of 128GB Version

NVIDIA officially announced a new 64GB version of its DGX Spark desktop AI system, priced at $4,999. This new model is intended to provide developers with more accessible options for local AI workloads, including agents, fine-tuning, and inference. The announcement was made via the NVIDIA Blog and widely reported by numerous tech and general news outlets, positioning it as a response to rising memory prices. Concurrently with the introduction of the 64GB model, the price of the original 128GB DGX Spark system saw a significant increase. While the new 64GB model is presented as a more affordable entry point, the price hike for the higher-capacity version has drawn attention, with some outlets reporting the 128GB model's price now reaching $6,950. This dual move comes amidst a broader context of surging memory prices and a "RAMpocalypse" affecting the industry.
