In addition to the highly anticipated RTX 50 series graphics cards for desktops and laptops, NVIDIA has unveiled a unique machine known as "Project DIGITS." This next-generation personal AI supercomputer is compact like a minicomputer, yet it delivers performance at the scale of gigaflops for prototyping, fine-tuning, and running large-scale AI models.
The device is powered by a groundbreaking superchip dubbed the "GB10," which integrates a dual-core architecture combining the Blackwell GPU and Grace CPU, connected through NVLink-C2C technology.
A notable aspect of this project is MediaTek’s collaboration in designing the superchip, particularly influencing the CPU and interconnect components, thereby enhancing its performance and energy efficiency.
The Grace GPU section boasts an Arm architecture with 20 energy-efficient cores, while the Blackwell GPU section offers an impressive 1PFlops (one thousand trillion operations per second) FP4 AI performance, capable of executing large models with 200 billion parameters.
Furthermore, through NVIDIA's ConnectX network, it is feasible to link two Project DIGITS AI supercomputers to handle even more massive AI models with 405 billion parameters.
This AI supercomputer is equipped with 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 4TB SSD. For connectivity, it offers USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth options with the NVIDIA DGX OS, based on Linux, as its operating system.
While the exact power consumption remains undisclosed, the device utilizes a standard power connector.
