The ASUS Ascent GX10 is a cutting-edge ultra-compact desktop AI supercomputer designed for AI researchers, developers, and data scientists engaged in model development, fine-tuning, and inference. Powered by the revolutionary NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip—which integrates a 20-core ARM Grace CPU and an advanced NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with 5th-gen Tensor Cores and FP4 support—the system delivers up to 1 petaFLOP AI performance (FP4), enabling seamless training and deployment of large generative AI models.
Boasting 128 GB of coherent unified LPDDR5x system memory, the GX10 can handle extremely large models, supporting up to 200 billion parameters for fine-tuning tasks. Its compact footprint (150 x 150 x 51 mm) couples high-density compute with an optimized dual-fan thermal design to sustain peak performance in confined lab, office, or edge environments.
The device comes preinstalled with NVIDIA DGX™ OS, an Ubuntu-based environment enriched by the NVIDIA AI software stack (NIMs, Blueprints), facilitating smooth workflows with popular frameworks like PyTorch and Jupyter notebook.
Advanced connectivity includes NVIDIA NVLink™-C2C technology for ultra-high bandwidth CPU-GPU memory integration, multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C ports with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery (up to 180W PD 3.1), HDMI 2.1, a 10G LAN port, and a ConnectX-7 SmartNIC enabling dual-GX10 system scaling via high-speed networking.
Storage flexibility is provided via M.2 NVMe SSD options, supporting PCIe Gen4 (1TB included on some SKUs) and optional PCIe Gen5 (up to 4TB). With comprehensive certifications and a compact, energy-efficient design, the ASUS Ascent GX10 sets a new standard for local AI compute platforms aiming to merge desktop convenience with scalable supercomputing capabilities.
