• The new Dell Pro Max with GB10 packs exceptional performance in a compact and power-efficient form factor. This AI developer workstation features the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, a system-on-a-chip based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Delivering up to one petaflop (1000 TFLOPs) of AI computing performance and 128GB of unified memory, AI developers can develop, train and test models before deploying on other Dell infrastructure offerings. 

• The new Dell Pro Max with GB300, at the top end of the high-performance PC range, gives AI developers and data scientists a computing class of its own – bringing server-level compute to a desktop. With the new NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, the system delivers up to 20 petaflops of AI computing performance, 784GB unified system memory (up to 288GB HBME3e GPU memory and 496GB of LPDDR5X CPU memory) and the fastest networking solution with NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC to power the most intensive and largest AI workloads, training up to 460billion parameter models.
• New Dell Pro Max notebooks and desktops offer outstanding power, reliability and scalability. Equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO ^TM Blackwell Generation GPUs and Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2), AMD Ryzen-powered Copilot+ PCs with AI experiences and AMD Threadripper processor options, along with a new bold and elevated design, users can drive productivity across every intensive workload. Learn more about all the Dell Pro Max announcements here.

New Dell PowerEdge servers and networking drive AI acceleration for enterprises 

• Dell PowerEdge will support the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform, including the upcoming NVIDIA HGX B300 NVL16, NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, delivering systems with up to 288GB of HBM3e memory to handle complex AI models with speed and scalability.[v] These forthcoming servers will offer peak AI cluster performance with 800 Gb/s throughput with NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICs.[vi]   

• Dell PowerEdge XE7740 and XE7745 servers will be available with the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. These servers are currently available with up to eight NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs, which includes a five year subscription to NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NIM and the NVIDIA Llama Nemotron models for reasoning, making them a powerful platform for Gen AI fine-tuning, inference, and agentic reasoning applications, as well as high performance computing (HPC) workloads. They will also support up to eight NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Server Edition PCIe GPUs which can more than double the AI performance and greater flexibility when integrating AI workloads into business processes.[vii]

• The new Dell PowerEdge XE8712 server featuring the GB200 NVL4 platform powers the next generation of accelerated AI compute, supporting up to 144 NVIDIA B200 GPUs per Dell IR7000 rack. These liquid-cooled systems are tailored for AI model training and complex HPC simulations, offering a scalable solution that optimizes performance and enhanced computational efficiency, while helping reduce operational costs and saving data center space.
