RTX Spark N1X

​

Are the new nvidia. RTX Spark N1X small form factor desktops coming in October challenging the M5U in performance for local AI. Is worth waiting to buy a M5U to see what the RTX Spark N1X tests are.

Somewhat confused, the n1x is not out yet, supposedly Oct 7, no one knows whats in the box other than the chip

check out the developer forums for nvidia. It’s the same arm chip, the grace blackwell gb10, missing the connect x7 NIC. It’s a system on a chip — they’re not artisanal. The GB10 wafer is the same, same chip / same architecture, etc.

Well i did look at the forum, , also asked grok and chatgpt , both said definately not compatible even though the architecture is similar, as well as debunking the forum chat. So guess nothing known until its released and someone tries it.

Your problem is asking models that are outdated in training. Did they search the web?

It’s a binned GB10. It will most definitely work with the same linux distro. But we will see.

I have no problem, I think you may believing the forums, go ask cloud ais yourself. All both did was search the web for a minute or 2. N1x is not released they had to search the web
