At the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), NVIDIA unveiled a new personal AI supercomputer called "Project DIGITS." Compared to traditional large computers, this device is only the size of a mini PC, yet it boasts a performance of up to one quadrillion operations per second, earning it the title of the industry's "super tiny giant." The launch of this machine has garnered widespread attention, especially in today's rapidly evolving AI technology landscape.
Project DIGITS is powered by a super chip called "GB10," co-designed with MediaTek. This chip integrates a Blackwell GPU, a 20-core Arm architecture Grace CPU, 128GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and a 4TB solid-state drive (SSD), providing it with formidable computing power. NVIDIA states that the machine will be priced at approximately $3,000 (around 21,998 RMB) and is set to be released in May of this year.
Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Melius Research, noted in a research report that the launch of such a high-performance yet relatively affordable product by NVIDIA is indeed surprising. However, the target users for Project DIGITS are not ordinary consumers, but rather small businesses, research institutions, and educational organizations engaged in machine learning research. These users often lack sufficient funds to build data centers or purchase cloud computing resources, and this machine can meet their basic needs.
Reitzes further believes that Project DIGITS could be a significant step for NVIDIA into the $50 billion PC and laptop chip market, potentially allowing for the integration of more resources in the future, and even the possibility of a proprietary Windows system.
