The CPU/GPU in the RTX products is similar to the GB10 in terms of ARM cores and tensors. The DGX spark can consume 200w at rated performance, while the RTX systems are 80w (laptop) and 100w (desktop). Does this mean these new products will run at a lower clock speed? If not, how can they get the same performance out of the same logic while using less than half the power?

will the systems allow linux to be installed? Many x86-based mini (~4"x4") computers were sold with windows installed and would not allow linux to be installed, presumably because of an (antitrust-violating) agreement with Microsoft. It would be terrible if these new products explicitly made it difficult to run linux (a problem with Qualcom-based windows laptops). Since the NX1 chip is so similar to the GB10 that already runs ubuntu, I can’t believe it would be a material effort for nvidia to support Ubuntu on the new systems, and not relegate DGX users to sticking with those systems or switching to windows.
