Not only impressing with its RTX 50-series graphics cards, Nvidia continued to dominate the CES 2025 exhibition—currently taking place in Las Vegas, USA—by unveiling its mini AI supercomputer, Project DIGITS. This device is considered a breakthrough in the field of AI, delivering exceptional computational power within an extremely compact design.

Project DIGITS is equipped with the brand-new GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, which combines Nvidia’s powerful Blackwell GPU with a 20-core Grace CPU based on ARM architecture. This combination delivers up to 1 petaFLOPS of AI computational power, enabling DIGITS to handle large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT-4o with ease.

“AI will become ubiquitous across all applications and industries,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated. “With Project DIGITS, the Grace Blackwell superchip will reach millions of developers. Every data scientist, AI researcher, and student will have the ability to own an AI supercomputer right on their desk, enabling them to participate in and shape the AI era.”

In addition to its powerful superchip, DIGITS is equipped with 128 GB of energy-efficient DDR5X memory, a 4 TB SSD, and Nvidia’s proprietary C2C connection, which optimizes performance and data transmission. According to Nvidia, DIGITS can run AI models with up to 200 billion parameters. Even more impressively, when two DIGITS systems are connected via ConnectX networking, users can run models with up to 405 billion parameters.

Nvidia DIGITS is expected to launch in May 2025 with a price tag of $3,000. While the cost may be high, the power and convenience DIGITS offers promise to make it an invaluable tool for AI developers in the future.
