IMHO DGX Spark at $4,000 is a bad deal with only 273 GB/s bandwidth and the compute capacity between a 5070 and a 5070 TI. And with PCIe 5.0 at 64 GB/s it's not such a big difference.

And the 2x 200 GBit/s QSFP... why would you stack a bunch of these? Does anybody actually use them in day-to-day work/research?

I liked the idea until the final specs came out.

I think the selling point is the 128GB of unified system memory. With that you can run some interesting models. The 5090 maxes out at 32GB. And they cost about $3000 and more at the moment.
