DGX Spark vs Ryzen AI Max+ 395: which should you buy?
Buy a GB10 system such as DGX Spark if your work depends on CUDA, NVIDIA's AI software stack, or linking two units for models of up to about 405 billion parameters. Buy a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 mini PC if you mainly run open models through tools like llama.cpp or Ollama and want 128 GB for about A$2,000 less.

What 128 GB lets you run
- Quantised 70-billion-parameter models fit comfortably on either platform.
- NVIDIA rates one DGX Spark for models of up to about 200 billion parameters, and two linked units for up to about 405 billion.
- Memory bandwidth (about 256 to 273 GB/s) limits generation speed, so these are development and private-inference machines rather than replacements for an H100 or H200 server.
