DGX Spark Systems Exhibit Thermal Performance Differences
|
7.3
StorageReview tested five NVIDIA DGX Spark systems (NVIDIA Founders Edition, Gigabyte, Dell, Acer, ASUS) using vLLM online-serving benchmarks with the GPT-OSS-120B model to compare thermal and power characteristics. The tests show Acer’s unit ran about 10–15°C cooler across CPU, GPU, NVMe, and NIC metrics while GPU power peaks clustered 69.3–76.0W, implying chassis thermal design materially affects sustained inference performance and component temperatures.
Scoring Rationale
Strong empirical comparison with practical procurement implications, limited by single-source testing and partial thermal probe omissions.
