Good catch, they called it "Grace Blackwell". Changing the CPU cores completely and calling it Grace seems weird. Maybe it was just a mistake during the keynote.
I don't think it was a mistake; maybe they intend Grace to be a broader brand like Ryzen not one particular model.
Do I understand that right? It seems way to cheap.
Is there any effort in local cloud computing? I can't justify $3000 for a fun device. But if all devices (6 phone, 2 iPads, a desktop and 2 laptops) in my home can leverage that for fast LLM, gaming, and photo/video editing, now it makes so much more sense.
Not 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.
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…
It's basically the successor to the AGX Orin and in line with its pricing (considering it comes with a fast NIC). The AGX Orin had RTX 3050 levels of performance.

The quotes I've seen mention the maximum config (128GB ram and 4TB of storage) and the minimum price. Nothing saying $3k for 128GB ram and 4TB of storage. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm betting the max price is at least twice the minimum price.
It's GB200 in desktop compatible enclosure, the RAM is fixed, the SSDs are not, the network ports are fixed too.
Would love to see something like this with an ATX form factor, socketed GPU, socketed GPU and non-soldered RAM.
Welcome to tomorrow's "personal" computer, a single unmodifiable SoC with closed source software stack.
I highly doubt it's half or ever quarter of GB200, unless they have hidden water cooling or something outside. GB200 is 1200 Watts. Digits doesn't look like it would be above 200W, and cooling 200W would be impressive.
