Razer offers Forge AI Dev Workstations to AI developers: Custom-built Xeon W and Threadripper Pro desktops

Razer has unveiled the Forge AI Dev Workstation to AI developers at CES 2026. The offering provides buyers with a custom-built desktop that can handle the largest artificial intelligence large-language models (LLMs) locally for security and cost savings versus rented or cloud servers.

The Forge AI Dev Workstations are designed to use Intel Xeon W or AMD Threadripper Pro CPUs that have up to 96 cores along with up to four Nvidia RTX Pro or AMD Radeon Pro GPUs, eight RDIMM slots for RAM, four PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSDs, eight SATA drives, and a 2,000W power supply. Four 120 mm fans front and back provide cooling airflow across the internal components.

Multiple Forge AI Dev Workstations can be networked using their dual 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports to create compute clusters, and multiple units can be optionally racked for space savings.

Interested readers are asked to contact Razer for a customized build and quote along with further details of the Forge AI Dev Workstation specifications.

Readers in no mood to buy an expensive workstation, or at least an Nvidia 5070 GPU,  can use distilled AI LLM models (like this one on Hugging Face) to run them on lower-end laptops like the HP EliteBook Ultra G1q 14 laptop (sold here on Amazon).
