AMD Launches Ryzen AI Halo Desktop to Challenge Nvidia DGX Spark

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

AMD has launched its Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform, a compact AI workstation designed to compete with Nvidia's DGX Spark. Priced at $3,999, the AMD system undercuts the DGX Spark's current price of $4,699 and offers native Windows 11 support, a feature lacking in Nvidia's Linux-only offering. The Ryzen AI Halo is powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor and includes 128GB of unified memory, a dedicated NPU with 50 TOPS, and onboard RDNA 3.5 graphics. AI
