Dell first announced the Pro Max with GB10 workstation during Nvidia at GTC in March, and now, the “first-of-its-kind” product for the Dell Pro Max portfolio is almost here. The Pro Max with GB10 (Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell Superchip) will be available from October 15, coming with Nvidia DGX OS and Nvidia AI software stack, which also feature in the new NVIDIA DGX Spark, the world’s smallest AI supercomputer.

• Local AI development: Allows developers to experiment, fine-tune and inference large models up to 200 billion parameters with 128GB LPDDR5x unified system memory 
• Exceptional and reliable performance: Delivers 1000 TFLOPS of FP4 computing power with NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Superchip 
• Secure and cost-effective: Runs AI workloads locally without relying on the cloud – cutting costs and ensuring low latency  
• Consistent OS and software: Runs NVIDIA DGX OS and NVIDIA AI software stack – enabling models to move easily between desktop and Dell data center environments

Press release in full

Human ingenuity fuels AI progress, yet most teams hit hard limits on computation well before reaching their creative potential. I continue to hear from customers determined to solve tough challenges, only to run into the current threshold of high-end workstations that max out at 45 billion parameters—even our highest-spec Dell Pro Max with 96GB of GPU VRAM. When memory becomes the bottleneck, teams face a choice: compress models and risk sacrificing accuracy or lean on expensive cloud solutions that are rarely the best fit for every need. For regulated industries, moving sensitive data off-premises isn't even on the table.

That's why the arrival of Dell Pro Max with GB10 marks a notable shift. Powered by NVIDIA Grace Blackwell and running DGX OS, this desktop system delivers true data center-class AI performance at the point of work. It features 128GB unified memory to support models up to 200 billion parameters and can reach 1000 FP4 TOPS—a rare leap in local capability. With pre-installed tools like CUDA, JupyterLab, Docker and AI Workbench, teams can unbox and start building in minutes. For those needing even more power, connecting two Dell Pro Max with GB10 systems turns them into a single node capable of supporting 400 billion-parameter models, a clear demonstration of Dell's approach to scalable AI infrastructure.

As these technical capabilities come together, they directly impact how different industries innovate and deliver.

Four User Groups That Benefit from using the Dell Pro Max with GB10

Academic Researchers: Accelerated Discovery

Delayed access to computing stifles research momentum. With Dell Pro Max with GB10, researchers can run large models like Llama 3.3 70B right on their desktops, enabling rapid hypothesis testing and model adaptation without relying on shared or remote resources. That means ideas move from experimentation to insight in days instead of months.

Startups: Agility Without Overhead

Startups face daily trade-offs between building products and investing in the infrastructure needed to support growth. Dell Pro Max with GB10 addresses this by allowing founders to inference, fine-tune, prototype, validate, and scale AI models locally. Its unified memory architecture eliminates the complexity often seen in distributed solutions, so teams stay focused on solving real problems—not wrestling with setup or unpredictable costs. And a two-person team can now tap into computational resources that were previously within reach only for enterprises able to invest heavily in infrastructure.

Regulated Industries: Secure AI On-Premises

For banks and healthcare providers, the ability to keep sensitive data on-site is non-negotiable. Dell Pro Max with GB10 enables these organizations to train and deploy advanced AI—such as fraud detection or diagnostic imaging—entirely within their own environment. Medical IT teams have shared that this approach delivers performance on par with leading cloud solutions, all while protecting privacy and reducing risk.

Individual Creators: Democratized AI Innovation

The same power that drives enterprise AI is now available to independent developers, creators, and entrepreneurs. The Dell Pro Max with GB10 makes sophisticated AI development accessible to individual creators who once lacked computational resources to bring them to life. Where hardware or cloud limitations once forced innovation to slow, Dell Pro Max with GB10 puts data center capability on the desktop. I've seen creators fine-tune vision models for client portfolios and game developers train custom AI characters—all from their own workspace, with no need for external infrastructure or added costs.

Desktop Supercomputing Without Barriers

Perhaps most exciting is how this powerful new system is bridging the gap between breakthrough ideas and computing muscle, Dell Pro Max with GB10 empowers customers to advance securely, accelerate insight, and innovate on their own terms. This isn't just another workstation; it's an AI accelerator for real-world AI challenges, built for those who won't let limits define what's possible.

The Dell Pro Max with GB10 is available starting October 15. Visit dell.com/dell-pro-max-nvidia-ai to learn more about desktop AI development.
