| The spark also has 128GB VRAM (same type) and by recently I mean I bought them last week for $3999 each. |

| ▲ | cyanydeez 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | yeah, so $500 spread https://www.microcenter.com/product/699008/nvidia-dgx-spark is what the current price appears to be. The differences are basically, sparks require ARM and sparks allow interconnects; so if you do have dreams of electric sheep to chain them together, you're not gonna get the AMD halo units. But if you just want to putz around with a dev machine and do other things, not sure you'd want a spark. | | |
| ▲ | nightski an hour ago | parent [-] | | They had it on sale last week for $3999, it will likely happen again. Also if you are willing to buy ASUS/Acer/MSI you can get them cheaper, in the same range as well. Those units are identical (mainboard/ram/chipset/connectivity), they only tend to differ in SSD being offered. |

| Please note that 8 x 16 Gb DDR4 modules cost $480, and have a bandwidth of 200 Gb/s, the only problem you need 8 DRAM controllers. |
