Dell unveils its new desktop workstation, the Dell Pro Max with GB10. The system is powered by NVIDIA’s Grace Blackwell (GB) architecture and runs on DGX OS, bringing up to 128GB unified memory and support for AI models as large as 200 billion parameters, which is a major leap in itself when it comes to local AI computing.
Availability
The Dell Pro Max with GB10 starts at Rs. 3,99,000 and is available via Dell’s official site.
Most high-end workstations today max out at around 45 billion parameters before running into memory limits, making it difficult for professionals to run larger AI models. As per Dell, the Pro Max with GB10 addresses this with a design aimed at researchers, startups, regulated industries and independent creators who need reliable on-premises AI capabilities without depending on the cloud.
Brand claims the workstation can reach 1000 FP4 TOPS of performance, allowing users to train or fine-tune large models such as Llama 3.3 70B directly on their desktop. Which, in simpler terms, means that it is powerful enough to handle large-scale AI workload like training for tweaking your larger parameter models, such as Llama 3.3, without relying on cloud infrastructure. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see how those promises hold up in real-world testing.
For those interested in even more muscle, two Dell Pro Max with GB10 systems can be linked together to form a single node capable of supporting 400 billion parameter models, offering a glimpse of Dell’s scalable AI approach.

The company highlights four key groups that can benefit from the GB10:
- Academic researchers can test hypotheses faster without relying on shared resources.
- Startups get enterprise-grade performance without the cloud overhead.
- Banks and healthcare providers can deploy AI securely on-premises.
- Individual creators can now access the same kind of AI horsepower typically reserved for large enterprises.
When it comes to port selection, the Dell Pro Max with GB10 packs a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps) port with DisplayPort 1.4a alt-mode, power in alongside three USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps) ports with DisplayPort 1.4a alt-mode without power in support. There is also one RJ45 (10GbE) Ethernet port, one HDMI 2.1b port and two SFP (200 Gbps) ports.
Dell is positioning the Pro Max with GB10 as “desktop supercomputing without barriers”, aimed at customers who don’t want hardware limits to cap their innovation.
