ASUS's new Ascent GX10 with GB200 Blackwell Superchip launches July 22, its new AI Mini-PC

UPDATE - ASUS let us know that the GX10 will be announced on July 22, but it won't be available then. The release of the product will come at a later date.

ASUS has confirmed that its new AI supercomputer, the Ascent GX10, will be launching on July 22. The new ASUS Ascent GX10 is powered by NVIDIA's new GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip, and acts as a powerful AI workstation that sits on your desk.

The new ASUS Ascent GX10 is a small Mini-PC workstation that is tailored towards AI development and inference workloads, packing NVIDIA's new Grace CPU and Blackwell GPU inside of a unified GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip. The Ascent GX10 will be configured with 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, PCIe Gen5 connectivity, NVMe SSD, and a custom cooling solution.

The bigger news here about the launch of the ASUS Ascent GX10 system is that this is NVIDIA's first serious foray into the desktop CPU business, and while it's not a regular x86-based processor, the Grace CPU is an Arm-based processor that is normally aimed at the HPC and server workload space. However, the integration of the Arm-based Grace CPU in the ASUS Ascent GX10 will be used by developers and AI researchers needing edge AI compute, all without relying on traditional x86-based platforms.

ASUS's new Ascent GX10 workstation AI system will compete against the likes of systems powered by AMD's new Ryzen AI Max 300 series "Strix Halo" APUs and Apple's Mac Studio. It won't be the only one, but for AI developers this is going to be a popular system, and it gives NVIDIA the chance to test its Grace Blackwell Superchip some testing in the real world.
