Key Takeaways
1. H3C has launched the MegaCube, a compact AI-centric mini-PC competing in the market, similar to the Microsoft Surface Pro.
2. The MegaCube features ten ARM Cortex-X925 cores, ten Cortex-A725 cores, and a Blackwell-based GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores, offering up to 1 petaflop of theoretical Tensor core performance.
3. It has dimensions of 150 × 150 × 50.5 mm and includes 128 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 10 Gbps Ethernet, WiFi 7, USB Type-C, and HDMI 2.1a.
4. The MegaCube can be paired with another unit for enhanced performance and comes pre-installed with Nvidia’s Ubuntu-based DGX OS.
5. The pricing for the MegaCube is set at CNY 36,999 (~$5,240) on JD.com.
A few months back, H3C launched the MegaBook, aiming to compete with the Microsoft Surface Pro by featuring a 120 Hz OLED display. Now, the company has stepped into the realm of compact AI-centric mini-PCs with the MegaCube, which is already available in China. This device is constructed around Nvidia’s new Grace Blackwell architecture and bears a resemblance to the DGX Spark (currently priced at $3,999 on Amazon), which serves as its backbone.
MegaCube Features
The MegaCube integrates ten ARM Cortex-X925 cores and ten Cortex-A725 cores, along with a Blackwell-based GPU that boasts 6,144 CUDA cores. Hence, H3C estimates the mini-PC can provide up to 1 petaflop of Tensor core performance (FP4). However, it’s crucial to point out that these figures are theoretical. Additionally, this GB10 chipset can also be found in other mini-PCs like the MSI EdgeXpert AI.
Connectivity and Compatibility
On another note, H3C enables the pairing of two MegaCube units. Despite its compact dimensions of 150 × 150 × 50.5 mm, each MegaCube is equipped with 128 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 10 Gbps Ethernet, and WiFi 7, alongside USB Type-C and HDMI 2.1a among several other ports. Moreover, the MegaCube comes pre-installed with Nvidia’s Ubuntu-based DGX OS. However, the pricing is quite high, currently set at CNY 36,999 (~$5,240) on JD.com.
