This thing has a ConnectX-7, which gives it 2 x 200 Gbps networking. The 10 gig port is far from the fastest network interface on the Spark.


But can you hook that up to a normal PC?


You were complaining about speed. Yes, a PC can have the same ports, and then you get much faster speeds than Thunderbolt can provide.

Why would you ever want a DGX Spark to talk to a “normal PC” at 40+ Gbps speeds anyways? The normal PC has nothing that interesting to share with it.

But, yes, the DGX Spark does have four USB4 ports which support 40Gbps each, the same as Thunderbolt 4. I still don’t see any use case for connecting one of those to a normal PC.


Yes. Just buy the Mellanox card. We had a bunch of ConnectX 5 hooked up through SFP. Needs cooling but fast.


why criticize something in the first place when you clearly have not even looked at the product?
