Before you choose
NVIDIA DGX Spark
- Memory capacity does not establish interactive speed or simultaneous request capacity.
- UT has documented a Spark deployment. Confirm exact software versions and support scope.
MSI EdgeXpert
- The US store offer is the EdgeXpert-11SUS single unit with 128 GB unified memory and a 4 TB Gen4 drive. MSI also markets paired-unit configurations; confirm networking accessories for a two-node setup.
- The EdgeXpert shares NVIDIA's GB10 platform. Platform guidance applies; no Lab measurement exists for this exact chassis.
- Memory capacity alone does not establish speed, runtime compatibility or production capacity.
