ASUS Ascent GX10 Review A New NVIDIA GB10 Solution

Back at GTC 2025, NVIDIA announced their DGX Spark mini-PC AI workstation. Bordering on somewhere between a PC design and an ecosystem, the DGX Spark was introduced to serve as a miniaturized, entry-level system for developers and researchers to get their hands on NVIDIA’s Grace Blackwell generation of Arm CPU, GPU, and networking technologies. In short, NVIDIA was providing a relatively powerful dev box for groups writing models and code for their larger Grace Blackwell servers.

Or rather, it was NVIDIA and partners providing a dev box. In addition to releasing and selling their own design, NVIDIA also made the DGX Spark design available to their traditional OEM partners. As a result, there are several major OEMs selling mini-PCs based on the DGX Spark’s GB10 motherboard and its underlying GB10 SoC, giving potential customers a wider variety of systems to choose from when it comes to configuration options, cooling, and support.

Since DGX Spark and OEM variant systems became available in October, we have had a few of these systems show up at ServeTheHome’s lab. The granddaddy of them all being the NVIDIA DGX Spark, of course, but we have also had systems from Dell and ASUS drop by as well. This Ascent GX10 is the latest of those systems.
