Asus is putting Nvidia’s GB10 Grace Blackwell "Superchip" into a sleek and compact form factor that promises to provide lots of performance. With 20 performance cores, an AI performance of 1,000 TOPS and 128GB of RAM, the mini PC should be suitable for AI workflows.

Almost simultaneously with the Dell Pro Max GB10, Asus has unveiled a new mini PC based on the Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell ARM chip. This mini PC features a simple white case with a power button on the front and a rather distinctive design on the top side.

The Nvidia chip boasts 10 ARM Cortex-X925 performance cores as well as 10 additional Cortex-A725 cores. The processor is connected via NVLink interconnect to a graphics chip based on the current Nvidia Blackwell architecture. This allows both the processor and graphics chip to access the memory, which can be configured with a capacity of up to 128GB. This system is supposedly able to handle AI models with up to 200 billion parameters.

Nvidia advertises an AI performance of 1,000 TOPS, which is about a third of the performance of a GeForce RTX 5090. However, the vast amount of memory is suitable for larger models which can be worked on without swapping and losing performance along the way.

Moreover, users can combine multiple Asus Ascent GX10 units if they need even more memory. The mini PC is also equipped with up to 4TB of SSD storage. Asus has yet to confirm further technical details and specifications, such as the connectivity options.

Price and availability

Asus has also not provided any details regarding the price and release date of the Ascent GX10. Nvidia's technically comparable Project Digits mini PC launches in May for $2,999, so it’s reasonable to assume that the Asus system will be priced similarly.
