How much is this supposed to cost, fully populated with 128GB of RAM? How much would this laptop cost? It's not that the NVidia chip has that much RAM built in

It's not that the NVidia chip has that much RAM built in, after all. It's that it can address that much. RAM is sold separately.
- forrestthewoods 4mo agoNo. It’s all integrated. Not something you can buy separately or upgrade later.
- Animats 4mo agoSee [1]. There's not 128GB of on-chip memory. "Integrated" memory in this context means that the GPUs and CPUs all use the same memory. There are on-chip caches, of course. [1] https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/products/rtx-spark/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/products/rtx-spark/
- forrestthewoods 4mo agoEhhh. It is all in integrated into one monolith “superchip” package. The 128gb of RAM isn’t going to be purchased separately or be upgradable. At least according to all indicators. Which is what I was responding to.
- wmf 4mo ago$4,000-5,000
- cthalupa 4mo agoThe dgx spark is the same chip and those are in the low 3s to 5 range for most of them depending on manu, storage config, etc. The dgx sparks also have connectx 7 cards in them to support the 200gbps networking for RoCE. So I would expect the mini PCs to come in less than the sparks. Laptops I assume will be close in price with the addition of all the other laptop stuff.
