AMD challenges Nvidia's DGX Spark with $3,999 Ryzen AI Halo with Windows 11 support — Strix Halo desktop undercuts Nvidia by $700, packs 128GB of unified memory

AMD is making its boldest move yet to crack Nvidia's stranglehold on AI hardware, undercutting the market leader by nearly $700 with a consumer-grade chip that delivers comparable performance at a fraction of the cost. The Ryzen AI Halo's 128GB of unified memory and native Windows 11 support could finally make serious AI development accessible beyond the data center, threatening Nvidia's decade-long monopoly on the category. If the performance claims hold, this isn't just a price war—it's a fundamental challenge to the economics that have made Nvidia nearly unstoppable in the AI boom.
