Petaflop-scale AI computing in a compact package

As generative AI models grow in size and complexity, developers face rising demands for memory and compute power. The ASUS Ascent GX10 offers a powerful, cost-effective desktop solution for local AI development, ideal for prototyping, tuning, and inference.

Unparalleled AI performance

The forthcoming ASUS Ascent GX10 delivers up to 1,000 TOPS of AI performance to power large AI workloads. With 128GB of coherent unified system memory, developers can experiment, fine-tune or inference the latest generation of reasoning AI models of up to 200 billion parameters.

Powered by NVIDIA Grace Blackwell technology

Central to the new ASUS Ascent GX10 is the advanced NVIDIA GB10 Superchip, designed with the Grace Blackwell architecture and optimized for a compact-size form factor. At the heart of ASUS Ascent GX10 is the NVIDIA GB10 Superchip, built on the Grace Blackwell architecture and optimized for compact systems. It combines a powerful Blackwell GPU with fifth-gen Tensor Cores and FP4 support, delivering up to 1000 TOPS of AI performance. A 20-core Grace Arm CPU boosts data preprocessing and real-time model tuning. NVLink®-C2C technology ensures seamless CPU+GPU memory integration with 5× the bandwidth of PCIe® 5.0.

Handling cutting-edge large-parameter generative-AI models

With 128GB of memory and FP4 support, the GX10 can handle models with up to 200 billion parameters. Developers can run up to 70-billion parameter models locally. Using NVIDIA ConnectX® NICs, two GX10s can be linked to support even larger models, such as Llama 3.1 (405 billion parameters).

Empowering the AI community

AI is transforming every industry, and the ASUS Ascent GX10 is designed to bring this transformative power to every developer’s fingertips,” said KuoWei Chao, General Manager of ASUS IoT and NUC Business Group. “By integrating the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Superchip, we are providing a powerful yet compact tool that enables developers, data scientists, and AI researchers to innovate and push the boundaries of AI right from their desks.”
