Any good ideas for what these can be used for?
I am still trying to think a use case that a Ryzen AI Max/MacBook or a plain gaming gpu cannot cover.

Am I missing it or is there no information about performance? Looking for a tokens/sec
He didn't give that info but the transcript linked at the end shows how much time was spent for each query.

Maybe they had a local llm write it but the memory bandwidth was too low for a decent answer.

#35Couldn't you buy a Mac Ultra with more memory for the same price?
This Asus box costs $3000, and the cheapest Mac Studio with the same amount of RAM costs $3500, or $3700 if you also match the SSD capacity.
You do get about twice as much memory bandwidth out of the Mac though.

#36Does anyone have any information on how much this will cost? Or is it one of those products where if you have to ask you can't afford it.

Probably LLM slop, but also it's the same GB10 chip as the DGX Spark so why would the memory bandwidth be significantly different?

It seamlessly combines Nvidia's price gouging and ASUS's shady tactics. God forbid you ever have to RMA it, they'll probably brake it and blame it on you.

#39Funny to wakeup and see this on the front page - I literally just bought a pair last night for work (and play) somewhat on a whim, after comparing the available models. This one was available the soonest & cheapest, CDW is giving 100 off even, so 2900 pre tax.
I presume this is not yet in your possession. Please do let us know how it goes.

#40What a shame. This would have been a much more powerful machine if it was wrapped around AMD products.
At least with this, you get to pay both the Nvidia and the Asus tax!
