Yes, due to the huge increase in memory price and also exploiting the demand for local LLM inference, the price for a mini-PC with Strix Halo has become more than double in comparison with the first months after launch (when you could pay something like $1800 for a system with 128 GB).
For those who are interested mainly in GPU performance, the NVIDIA system may be preferable. Otherwise, the Ryzen CPU is significantly stronger in multi-threaded performance, much stronger when running applications that are aware of AVX-512, so Strix Halo is preferable when the CPU performance matters.
Also for things like video decoding or transcoding, the DGX Spark GPU is likely to be weak.
