Every NVIDIA GB10 machine compared

NVIDIA, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Gigabyte and Acer all sell machines built on the same NVIDIA GB10 Superchip with 128 GB of LPDDR5x at 273 GB/s, so the choice comes down to storage, price, warranty, chassis, firmware and whether you can get one. On 11 October 2026 I could verify a dated European price for exactly one of the eight (the Lenovo ThinkStation PGX, EUR 4,579 excluding VAT at Bechtle Belgium), so apart from a reported US price for NVIDIA's own machine, every price cell below says "check vendor" instead of repeating a figure that may predate NVIDIA's 2 October price move. I run GPUwerk, which rents and sells GB10 machines, so read this as written by an interested party.

On 2 October 2026 The Register reported that the 128 GB DGX Spark had moved to $6,950, and that a 64 GB version will be sold only through Acer, ASUS, Dell, Gigabyte, HP and MSI at around $4,999 (The Register, read 2026-10-11). NVIDIA's DGX Spark page lists the 64 GB configuration as exclusive to OEM partners and shows no price (read 2026-10-11). Everything on this page is the 128 GB machine unless it says otherwise. I did not find a ship date for the 64 GB version, so I give none.

All eight machines side by side

Checked 2026-10-11. Size, weight and storage options are the figures and variants shown on the GPUwerk store pages, which take them from each maker; I did not measure any machine. "Check vendor" means I could not verify a current figure on the day, and I will not quote a snippet or an older price. "None opened" means I found no firmware source I could open for that maker. The last column says whether the GPUwerk Platform install guide gives the firmware keys and screens for that model; "Not listed" means you follow the maker's manual to boot from USB and enable the TPM, not that the install fails. Sources: Bechtle Belgium, The Register, petronellatech, and the GPUwerk store pages.

One gap is worth explaining. Bechtle's 1 TB PGX price (EUR 4,579 excluding VAT) is lower than GPUwerk's (EUR 5,330 excluding VAT). Bechtle's page says the machine ships when available, and GPUwerk's price is for a batch with delivery expected 5 November 2026, before shipping. If you want the lower price and can wait for the retailer's stock, Bechtle is the better route on those figures.

What does not differ

Every machine here uses the NVIDIA GB10 Superchip with 128 GB of unified LPDDR5x at 273 GB/s and a 200 Gb/s ConnectX-7 network interface. Memory bandwidth sets the ceiling for token generation, so that ceiling is identical across makers. Software problems follow the chip as well: vLLM issue #36821 (opened 11 March 2026) names the DGX Spark and the Acer Veriton GN100 together as sm_121 hardware that vLLM's bundled PyTorch did not support, which a later vLLM pull request fixed for both. The full chip and memory details are on the DGX Spark specs page.

I have no measurement showing one maker's machine running a model faster than another's, and GPUwerk has published none. If a review claims a gap, check whether the runs used the same engine, quantisation and thermal conditions.

What to check before buying

• Warranty length. I have seen the claim that ASUS offers three years against one year from NVIDIA, but I did not verify it on either vendor's page, so I do not state it. Read the warranty terms on the page of the exact model and region you are buying.
• Noise and cooling. I found no comparative noise or thermal data across makers. One field report saw a Founders Edition power off during a prefill of about 131,000 tokens, and after a firmware update the same thing happened on two Founders Edition units and one MSI unit at the start of very long inputs (petronellatech, 2026-09-26). A separate blog reports a Spark cutting power twice under sustained video generation, stopped with a GPU clock cap (ai-muninn, 2026-09-14). Both are single-author accounts, and neither measures one maker against another.
• Storage tier. Options run from 1 to 4 TB but vary by maker: NVIDIA and Acer are listed in 4 TB only, HP in 2 or 4 TB. In an NVIDIA developer forum thread, one user in Switzerland reported the 1 TB and 4 TB versions sold out on 2 September 2026 (user post, read 2026-10-11). That is one region and one date, not a market-wide shortage.
• EU stock. A listing is not stock. Bechtle marks the PGX "ship when available", and the GPUwerk store sells the PGX with delivery expected 5 November 2026. Ask for a delivery date in writing. The where to buy in Europe page lists vendor routes, and the DGX Spark price page tracks the price history.

NVIDIA DGX Spark (Founders Edition)

The reference machine, 150 x 150 x 50.5 mm and 1.2 kg. The Register reported the 128 GB price at $6,950 on 2 October 2026 (read 2026-10-11). It is sold in 4 TB only, per the store page. The GPUwerk Platform install guide gives its firmware keys. In one field report four units took a firmware update without trouble, though the same report logged power-offs on long prompts (see the cooling note above). GPUwerk lists it as coming soon with no price.

ASUS Ascent GX10

The same chip in a heavier case: 150 x 150 x 51 mm and 1.48 kg on the store page, against 1.2 kg for the Founders Edition. ASUS is the only maker besides NVIDIA whose firmware keys the GPUwerk Platform install guide gives (the TPM ships turned off and has to be enabled). I could not verify a current price or warranty. See the GPUwerk store page and the ASUS Ascent GX10 versus DGX Spark comparison.

Dell Pro Max with GB10

150 x 150 x 51 mm and 1.31 kg per the store page. I found no verified current Dell price or warranty, so check Dell for your region. GPUwerk lists it as coming soon, with no price or stock.

HP ZGX Nano G1n

The tallest of the eight at 54.5 mm with its feet (51 mm without), on a 150 x 150 mm footprint, and 1.25 kg per the store page, which lists it in 2 or 4 TB. I could not verify a current price, a European listing or the warranty. GPUwerk lists the HP ZGX Nano as coming soon.

Lenovo ThinkStation PGX

The only machine here with a dated European price. Bechtle Belgium lists EUR 4,579 excluding VAT for 1 TB and EUR 5,324 for 2 TB, both "ship when available" (read 2026-10-11). GPUwerk sells it on the PGX store page at EUR 5,330, 5,890 and 6,280 for 1, 2 and 4 TB, excluding VAT and shipping, expected 5 November 2026. The machine is 150 x 150 x 50.5 mm and 1.2 kg. The GPUwerk Platform install guide says GPUwerk has not yet confirmed the firmware keys on a PGX.

MSI EdgeXpert MS-C931

Marginally wider than the rest at 151 x 151 x 52 mm, 1.2 kg per the store page. One field report ran a firmware update on four MSI units and four Founders Edition units without trouble, and also saw one MSI unit power off at the start of a very long input after the update (petronellatech, 2026-09-26). That is one company's account of eight machines. I could not verify a current price. See the MSI store page.

Gigabyte AI TOP ATOM

Listed at 150 x 150 x 50.5 mm and 1.2 kg on the store page. I found no price I trust for it, so the table says check vendor. GPUwerk lists the Gigabyte AI TOP ATOM as coming soon.

Acer Veriton GN100

150 x 150 x 50.5 mm, under 1.5 kg, and 4 TB only, per the store page. vLLM issue #36821 lists the GN100 alongside the DGX Spark as the same sm_121 hardware, so a fix for one applies to the other. I could not verify a current price. See the Acer store page.

Rent one before you buy

A GB10 costs thousands and a rental costs $0.79 an hour on GPUwerk, billed per minute, on a dedicated machine in the Czech Republic (EU-Central). Because the chip and memory are shared by all eight makers, a few hours on a rented Spark tells you whether 128 GB of unified memory at 273 GB/s suits your models. It will not tell you anything about a particular maker's noise, cooling or warranty. The how to rent guide walks through a first session, and the rent versus buy page works through the break-even.

If you already own a GB10, you can list it instead: see rent out your Spark.
