ASUS has announced the Ascent GX10, a compact desktop AI supercomputer powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, set to launch on October 15, 2025. Delivering 1 petaflop of AI performance, the system integrates a 20-core Grace CPU with a Blackwell GPU and features 128GB of unified memory, enabling development of models with up to 200 billion parameters on a desktop scale.
Designed for developers, researchers, and data scientists, the Ascent GX10 leverages the NVIDIA AI software stack, providing a full suite of tools for AI prototyping, fine-tuning, and inference. The system’s scalable architecture supports dual GX10 clustering through ConnectX-7 networking, doubling performance to 2 petaflops and memory to 256GB. It also emphasizes enterprise-grade security, keeping data local for sensitive workflows.
Built for efficiency, the GX10 offers precision thermal engineering with a 7-level fan control, ultrawide fins, and dual fans that enhance cooling performance by 1.6x over comparable systems. Storage options range from 1TB to 4TB NVMe SSDs, supporting varied AI workloads from entry-level experiments to large-scale model training. With its minimal 150 x 150 x 51mm footprint, the Ascent GX10 makes petaflop-class AI computing accessible in a compact, energy-efficient form.
