Dell Technologies has made significant breakthroughs in AI hardware, becoming the world's first technology company to launch a new generation of dedicated AI supercomputing systems. This breakthrough marks the beginning of a new era in AI infrastructure development.
Dell's founder and CEO, Michael Dell, announced via the social media platform X that the company has started delivering the first batch of liquid-cooled PowerEdge XE9712 systems to AI computing service provider CoreWeave. "The AI rocket has gained tremendous thrust!" Michael Dell emphasized this important achievement in the announcement.
This new system, co-developed by Dell and NVIDIA, features groundbreaking liquid cooling technology that completely redefines traditional computer design concepts. The difference is akin to that between a regular car engine and an F1 racing engine—both are engines, but the latter vastly outperforms the former.
The new system, named GB200NVL72, integrates 72 GPUs and 36 CPUs, with all processors working together to form a powerful computing unit. This design allows the system to achieve a 30-fold performance improvement over its predecessors when handling complex AI tasks such as chatbots and image generation.
The first batch of systems is being received by CoreWeave, a company focused on providing high-performance computing services for AI enterprises. The company maintains a close partnership with NVIDIA, the designer of the core technology for this system.
In the context of global tech companies competing for AI computing power, this breakthrough is of significant importance. Industry experts predict that demand for similar systems will continue to rise, with global shipments expected to reach 20,000 to 25,000 units by 2025. This not only reflects the urgent market demand for high-performance AI computing systems but also signals that AI infrastructure is about to enter a period of rapid development.
