The system combines a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU, using ten Cortex-X925 and ten Cortex-A725 cores, with an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU. This GPU has 6,144 CUDA cores, which is equivalent to a desktop RTX 5070. The hardware uses up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5x memory and can include up to 4 TB of PCIe Gen 5 SSD storage. It runs Windows 11 for Arm.

Gigabyte says the compact design includes cooling to help sustain performance during heavy AI inference or professional workloads. For connectivity, the desktop provides USB Type-C, 10GbE Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 7.

The platform supports NVIDIA DLSS 5 neural rendering for supported games. For AI tasks, the device is compatible with NVIDIA Nemotron models, LM Studio, and Ollama. Users can also use ComfyUI, NVIDIA Broadcast, and RTX Video for content creation. Gigabyte says the system can join a local network via NVIDIA PAIR to distribute inference tasks to other devices.
