not a flex
If one doesn't require the latest DLSS or need first-class AI support, get an AMD card.
If you want for AI, your best bet is a used 3090 for $700-800. The ram is more important and that card is still faster than a 4070.
And Nvidia has enough mindshare that they could piss on consumers for the next 3 release cycles and still have more than half the market. I don't like it but it's reality.
nVidia GPUs have basically been an inflation hedge for the past few years lol
Reminds me of the current egg "crisis".
On the one hand, this is a great situation to be in for Nvidia in terms of overall revenue.
On the other hand, this has allowed AMD to grab market share with the RX 9000 series launch, at least in the short term. So the narrow point that Geforce is sold out is decidedly not a flex.
The idea it’s hard to buy a standard Nvidia GPU in the consumer lineup is absurd.
An outcome of greed.

DGX Spark has the same memory as AMD Strix Halo, a weaker CPU, but perhaps a stronger GPU, except that for now there is no data about the GPU, besides that it might be stronger for AI inference (only FP4 speed is given). For now it is not known whether for graphics it will be better than Strix Halo.
While DGX Spark might be weaker than AMD Strix Halo for anything else except AI Inference, it will still be stronger than any mini-PC made with Intel Arrow Lake H or with AMD Strix Point.
20 core Arm, 10 Cortex-X925 + 10 Cortex-A725 Arm

Could be 2x200 Gbit/s, could also be much less.
Compare the Disney robots at the end of 2024 and 2025
how much is it expected, my guess barely fits in 5 digits. Would be nice to have something in between Spark and Station. I.e. some desktop withing $20K.
