#2Not much was unveiled but it showed a Blackwell GPU with 1PFLOP of FP4 compute, 128GB unified DDR5X memory, 20 ARM cores, and ConnectX powering two QSFP slots so one can stack multiple of them.
edit: While the title says "personal", Jensen did say this was aimed at startups and similar, so not your living room necessarily.

#4Is this going to make up for the lack of VRAM in the new consumer GPUs?

#5Finally a real ARM workstation from Nvidia! This will be much faster than Apple's offerings for AI work. And at $3000 it is much cheaper than any Mac with 128 GB RAM.

#6I feel this is bigger than the 5x series GPUs. Given the craze around AI/LLMs, this can also potentially eat into Apple’s slice of the enthusiast AI dev segment once the M4 Max/Ultra Mac minis are released. I sure wished I held some Nvidia stocks, they seem to be doing everything right in the last few years!

I think the enthusiast side of things is a negligible part of the market.
That said, enthusiasts do help drive a lot of the improvements to the tech stack so if they start using this, it’ll entrench NVIDIA even more.

From the size and pricing ($3000) alone, it's safe to conclude it has less raw FLOPs than a 5090. Since it uses LPDDR5X, almost certainly less memory bandwidth too (5090 @ 1.8 TB/s, M4 Max w/ 128GB LPDDR5X @ 546 GB/s). Basically the only advantage is how much VRAM it packs in a small form factor, and presumably greater power efficiency at its smaller scale.
The only thing it really competes with is the Mac Studio for LocalLlama-type enthusiasts and devs. It isn't cheap enough to dent the used market, nor powerful enough to stand in for bigger cards.

#9Feels like data center AI HW demand peak is over now that these things are trickling down to consumers and they are diversifying customers. Also going lower than expected on gaming HW, seems like they have enough fab capacity.

#10Nvidia releases a Linux desktop supercomputer that's better price/performance wise than anything Wintel is doing and their whole new software stack will only run on WSL2. They aren't porting to Win32. Wow, it may actually be the year of Linux on the Desktop.
