Finally a real ARM workstation from Nvidia! This will be much faster than Apple's offerings for AI work. And at $3000 it is much cheaper than any Mac with 128 GB RAM.

On the CPU size the Neoverse N2 doesn't compete particularly well with apple's M4, or the Zen5 for the matter.

Bit bit hard to tell what's on offer on the GPU side, I wouldn't be surprised if it was RTX 4070 to 5070 in that range.

If the price/perf is high enough $3k wouldn't be a bad deal, I suspect a Strix Halo (better CPU cores, 256GB/sec memory interface, likely slower GPU cores) will be better price/perf, same max ram for unified memory, and cheaper.

It’s actually “10 Arm Cortex-X925 and 10 Cortex-A725” [0]. These are much newer cores and have a reasonable chance of being competitive.
