ASUS Redefines Desktop AI with Powerful NVIDIA-Powered Supercomputers

ASUS Redefines Desktop AI with Powerful NVIDIA-Powered Supercomputers

Posted by HSSL Technologies on May 9th 2025

In a game-changing move for AI development, ASUS has unveiled a new class of desktop AI supercomputers, bringing the power of data center computing to your desk. These next-generation systems—led by the ASUS ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 and the ASUS Ascent GX10 mini-PC—are powered by NVIDIA's cutting-edge Grace Blackwell superchips, designed to handle massive AI workloads with ease.


Why This Matters: The "Last Mile" of AI

Just like logistics struggle with “last-mile” delivery, AI computing has long faced a similar bottleneck—how to deliver cloud-level performance locally to developers, researchers, and engineers who need it on-site.

ASUS addresses that challenge by putting supercomputer performance into compact, deployable form factors that don’t require an entire server rack or data center setup.


Meet the Powerhouses

ASUS ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3

This high-performance desktop is built around the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip, combining:

  • A Blackwell Ultra GPU

  • A Grace CPU with 72 Arm cores

  • The NVIDIA NVLink-C2C interconnect for ultra-fast data transfer

With up to 784 GB of coherent memory, the ET900N G3 is purpose-built for training large language models (LLMs) and executing AI inference at enterprise-grade speed. It’s the desktop equivalent of the NVIDIA DGX Station, and runs the NVIDIA AI software stack, including DGX OS, optimized for AI, machine learning, and analytics workloads.


ASUS Ascent GX10: Compact AI Supercomputing

For environments where desktop-class systems are still too large, the Ascent GX10 offers petaflop-scale performance in a mini-PC form factor.

Powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, it delivers:

  • Up to 1,000 AI TOPS of processing power

  • 128 GB of unified memory to run models with up to 200 billion parameters

  • Expansion via dual-GX10 configurations using NVIDIA ConnectX-7 networking to support larger models like Llama 3.1 (405 billion parameters)


Purpose-Built for AI, Not Just Performance

These systems go far beyond high-end gaming PCs or consumer-level workstations. They are designed specifically for AI workflows, offering:

  • Massive unified memory pools to reduce model-loading delays

  • Grace CPUs engineered for efficient, high-throughput AI computing

  • Compact, energy-conscious hardware that makes local AI deployment feasible and scalable


A Complete AI Portfolio from ASUS

Whether you’re an AI researcher, developer, or enterprise team, ASUS offers a full range of solutions:

  • DIY AI PC builds

  • AI-optimized laptops

  • Desktop AI supercomputers (ET900N & GX10)

  • Rack-mount AI servers

  • End-to-end AI data center infrastructure

The ET900N and GX10 mark a significant leap in making AI development more accessible, scalable, and high-performing—all without the need for large physical infrastructure.
