They say the most difficult part of transportation planning is last-mile delivery. In AI, there’s a similar challenge: researchers and developers need the power of a supercomputer in a system that fits on or under a desk.

Enter a new class of AI desktop supercomputers from ASUS and NVIDIA. Led by the ASUS ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 and ASUS Ascent GX10, these systems deliver groundbreaking AI performance - without the space, cooling, and power demands of a data center.

Designed for Massive AI Workloads

A critical factor in local AI computing is memory. Without adequate GPU memory, models won’t run efficiently - or at all. While the GeForce RTX 5090 offers 32GB of VRAM for smaller workloads, large models demand more.

The Ascent GX10 offers four times the GPU memory of a GeForce RTX 5090. The ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 goes even further with up to 784GB of coherent system memory - more than double what you'd get from a workstation with four NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs. These aren’t piecemeal upgrades - they’re transformative leaps that let users handle models with hundreds of billions of parameters locally.

Supercomputing Power, Desktop Convenience

The ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 brings data center performance to the desktop. It’s powered by the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip, featuring an NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPU and Grace CPU connected via NVIDIA® NVLink®-C2C. Running the NVIDIA AI Software Stack and DGX OS, this system is ready for high-performance training and inference right out of the box.

For even tighter spaces, the Ascent GX10 delivers 1,000 AI TOPS of processing power in a palm-sized form factor. Built on the NVIDIA GB10 Superchip - with 20 Arm CPU cores and a Blackwell GPU - it supports 128GB of unified system memory and models up to 200 billion parameters. With NVIDIA® ConnectX®-7, two GX10 systems can be linked to handle models like Llama 3.1 (405B parameters).

Both systems are part of a wider ASUS portfolio supporting AI across use cases and form factors. Your clients have researchers, developers, and data scientists that need machines capable of going above and beyond consumer-grade hardware, but crave the convenience and space-saving design of desktop PCs.

Simply put, the ET900N G3 and GX10 represent a bold leap: AI supercomputing at your fingertips.
