NVIDIA’s DGX B200 “Blackwell” AI server has been listed online by server solutions provider Broadberry, with a pretty impressive price tag.
NVIDIA’s Blackwell DGX B200 system will be an expensive venture for AI companies as base-scale systems will be listed at high prices
Team Green’s next-generation Blackwell AI architecture is garnering attention from the industry primarily because the platform is said to feature performance never witnessed in the market in the past.
Not only does NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang highly praise Blackwell, but Blackwell’s rapid adoption by mainstream technology giants such as Microsoft and Meta suggests that NVIDIA’s new AI product portfolio is poised to disrupt the market. It shows that there is. Interestingly, Broadberry is listing the Blackwell DGX B200 AI system starting at around $500,000, which is pretty amazing.
NVIDIA plans to sell multiple Blackwell AI systems, but the one targeted at a broader market segment is the DGX B200. Each DGX B200 uses eight B200 GPUs to deliver up to 1.4 TB of GPU memory with up to 64 TB/s of HBM3E memory bandwidth.
Based on information from NVIDIA, the DGX B200 can deliver up to 72 PetaFLOPS of training performance and 144 PetaFLOPS of inference performance. This is a significant upgrade compared to their Hopper generation counterparts. Here are the full specs of what you get with this system:
Built with 8 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs GPU Memory 1,440 GB total, 64 TB/s HBM3e Bandwidth 72 PetaFLOPS FP8 Training and 144 PetaFLOPS FP4 Inference NVIDIA Networking Foundation of NVIDIA DGX BasePOD and NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Base Command ™ Includes software
The listing on Broadberry carries a price tag of $515,410.43 for the Blackwell DGX B200 AI system, with configuration options that primarily cover after-sales service. This is the first time that NVIDIA’s Blackwell AI product has appeared on the Internet in the form of a retail listing, and although availability is currently unknown, Blackwell has announced that it will initially be limited, with larger portions to come. I am. Of the shipments scheduled for the first quarter of next year.
Just recently, NVIDIA delivered the first batch of DGX B200 AI systems to OpenAI, marking an exclusive relationship between the two companies. So it’s safe to say that the first batch of DGX B200 systems are already on the market, but we’re still not sure about Broadberry’s stock, but maybe it will be out of stock by the time this post is published. It may be. Regardless, NVIDIA’s Blackwell ushered in a new era of “AI gold rush” and would ultimately lead the next generation architecture as Team Green’s most successful product.
