Everyone says the DGX Spark is "2-5x faster" than the $2,000 AMD box. I benchmarked both. It's 6x on prompt processing — and near-identical on generation. Which means most people are about to overpay by $2,700.
Same 30B model, both machines:
Prompt processing (reading your context):
- AMD Strix Halo: 342 t/s
- DGX Spark: 2,107 t/s → 6x
Token generation (writing the answer, the speed you feel):
- AMD Strix Halo: 73 t/s
- DGX Spark: 84 t/s → basically a tie
Read that twice. On the number you actually watch happen — text appearing on screen — a $2,000 box ties a $4,700 one. The Spark's whole premium lives in one place: prefill.
So the buy is simple once you know your bottleneck:
- You chat, you draft, you code with short prompts → Strix Halo. Same feel, pocket $2,700, and it runs Windows and games on the side.
- Your work is huge context — long agent runs, RAG over hundreds of docs, giant files → that 6x prefill is the Spark earning its price. Nothing else touches it.
One tax the AMD hype skips: 128GB is glorious until a tool ships CUDA-only and you're debugging ROCm at midnight. The memory is real. The software lottery is too.
Buy for your bottleneck, not the biggest number on the box.

What if I told you, you could completely automate a year of social media content for your business with AI and it doesn’t look like AI slop?
What if I told you it could be done for a few cents?
Video and photos. 365 unique images and 52 unique videos can be generated simply from a single prompt and automatically scheduled and optimized to every social media platform for an entire year’s worth of content.
GPT 5.6 unlocked this problem I’ve been working on for a while. It generates the Hyperframes templates and prompts to train a lesser local model to pump out quality content.
The frontier model templates and prompts are passed to a rack of Nvidia DGX Sparks that pump out the content fast and for free with local models and open source software.
This is the same thing I’ve been doing with Brushworks for a year that gets 200k views per week.
Except I finally was able to package this content marketing and do it for any business.
You can provide the raw images and videos you want, or we’ll make them for you.

SMB first. Agencies pay double.

Stop selling courses about "how to use ChatGPT".
And build an AI tool that solves a specific problem for a specific niche instead.
You'll build a real business with MRR that you can potentially exit.
I've launched one in February and it's bringing around $90k per month in revenue right now.
That's a 7-figure run rate.
The plan is to scale it to $200k+ per month and eventually exit for 8-figures.
And I already have a killer idea for the next tool that will have the potential to do $200k+ per month as well.
It's time to build.
