There's a common theme in fiction: 'If you could go back in time with your memories intact, would you be able to have a successful relationship with that person?' Even if I could go back in time, I think it probably wouldn't work out because the other person must have liked my naive self back then. So I try to think that what I did at the time was the best I could have done.

What I learned about 'suitable jobs' and 'unsuitable jobs' after using DGX Spark for two months | DevelopersIO
What stands out in this table is the difference in memory bandwidth. The figure of 273 GB/s is about one-third of the Mac Studio (819 GB/s), about one-quarter of the RTX 4090 (1,008 GB/s), and about 6.5 times less than the RTX 5090 (1,792 GB/s). On the other hand, even the RTX 5090 has 32GB of VRAM, so the limitation of not being able to install larger models remains. This difference in bandwidth is directly related to the 'suitability' of each card, which will be discussed later.
To put it simply, the strength of the DGX Spark is not its 'speed' but its 'capacity.' Its greatest value lies in its ability to load entire large models into its 128GB of memory space and complete the process locally. At the conference, someone used the analogy that AI usage environments can be classified as F1 vs. SUV, and by that analogy, the DGX Spark seems to fall into the SUV category.
