ServeTheHome reported that Nvidia is adding a 64GB DGX Spark model at $4,999 while the 128GB version of the GB10-based system moves toward a much higher $6,950 price tier, resetting the entry point for a compact AI workstation line that had launched near $3,999 for the 128GB/4TB configuration.

The change creates two pricing paths around the same small-system platform.

The new 64GB DGX Spark is scheduled to become available on Friday, Oct. 23, from Acer, ASUS, Dell, Gigabyte, HP and MSI, with Nvidia listing the starting price at $4,999.

The open question is whether that starting configuration carries 1TB or 4TB of storage when partner systems reach buyers.

The 64GB model keeps the ConnectX-7 200GbE networking used in the 128GB system, so the lower-memory option is not simply a stripped networking configuration.

Nvidia says two of the new 64GB units can be clustered to reach 128GB for roughly $8,000, and the company's software is being positioned to make that path easier for buyers who want to scale out instead of paying the new 128GB price.

That math is the central trade-off.

ServeTheHome's earlier GB10 buying produced an eight-node 128GB cluster when nodes were available around $3,000 each; the same class of hardware now points to a cluster cost above $50,000.

A two-node 64GB setup also costs more than a single 128GB machine, and the source's operating experience favors one 128GB node over two 64GB nodes for users who can fit their workloads inside a single larger-memory system.

The price increase also changes the comparison with short-lived launch economics.

A Dell Pro Max GB10 analysis had treated roughly $6,000 as enough for a 256GB cluster that could show payback within 12 months.

That calculation came before the current pricing shift and before ServeTheHome's newer view that agentic AI workloads have raised the value of local systems in some development and testing environments.

For buyers, the 64GB version may still broaden access if the alternative is a $6,950 128GB machine.

It gives developers and smaller teams a lower upfront price, keeps high-speed networking in the box and leaves a clustering path for later expansion.

The drawback is that memory capacity, storage details and total cluster cost now matter more than the model name alone.

The launch also indicates how fast the GB10 market has moved since the first DGX Spark systems appeared.

The same platform family is being split between an entry configuration and a costlier 128GB tier, while OEM pricing varies across the lineup.

The material unknown for buyers is the storage attached to the $4,999 systems: the first Oct. 23 shipments should clarify whether the base configuration is enough for local workloads, or whether the practical choice remains the more expensive 128GB system.
