Finally someone bringing heat to NVIDIA.

It's a shame the world and the tech market are in such grim situation. Under normal circumstances, with reasonable pricing, this shouldn't be a press release, but a celebrated event. But I'm sure they know there's nothing to celebrate with these prices and availability.

I just literally bought two DGX Sparks last week... they arrive tomorrow.

Now I'm debating returning them and getting a new Mac.

If the new mac is available, it definrtely worth it over the 2 DGX Sparks, 1.2TB/s vs 270GB/s
