The DGX Spark is a ripoff. $4,699 for 128GB of unified memory and 273 GB/s of bandwidth. The Mac Studio M4 Max with 128GB of unified memory costs $3,699. Same memory. $1,000 less. And it gets better. The Mac Studio has double the bandwidth of the DGX Spark. For generating tokens, that means roughly twice as fast. The Mac Studio is a full computer with or without AI. The DGX Spark is a $4,699 Linux box that does one thing. NVIDIA announced this at $3,000. Shipped it at $4,000. Raised it to $4,700. You're paying a $1,000 NVIDIA tax for half the bandwidth and fewer capabilities. The only argument for DGX Spark is CUDA. If your entire workflow is locked into TensorRT-LLM and you need FP4 tensor cores, fine. Everyone else should just buy the Mac Studio.
