Why it matters
As companies seek to remain competitive, it is crucial that they integrate AI. However, system integration and the skills gap are challenges that can have a slowing effect on the value that companies realize with AI.[ii] More than 75% of organizations want their infrastructure providers to offer solutions for all aspects where AI can be deployed.[iii] This is leading to an increasing demand from customers for a simplified AI implementation that can be scaled.
Dell Technologies, together with NVIDIA, is the largest provider of AI infrastructure.[iv] Together, they offer a consistent experience in AI infrastructure, software, and services. They also provide customers with a one-stop-shop to scale AI initiatives, from desktop-level implementation to large-scale datacenters.
The extensive AI infrastructure portfolio is designed to address high-performance needs at the right level
At the core of the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA is leading end-to-end infrastructure that enables AI innovation across various sectors, from startups to governments to the world's largest companies and cloud service providers.

The portfolio offers a versatile range of powerful AI PCs designed for demanding tasks - from light AI development, data analysis, and design simulation to training, inference, and fine-tuning the most complex LLMs before scaling them up.
- The new Dell Pro Max with GB10 packs exceptional performance in a compact and energy-efficient form factor. This workstation for AI development features the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, a system-on-a-chip based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. It delivers up to one petaflop (1000 TFLOPs) of AI computing power and 128GB of unified memory. This allows AI developers to develop, train, and test models before deploying them in other Dell infrastructure offerings.
- The new Dell Pro Max with GB300 tops the list of high-performance PCs, providing AI developers and data scientists with a lesson in computing by bringing compute to the desktop at server level. With the new NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, the system delivers 20 petaflops of AI computing power and 784GB of unified system memory (up to 288GB HBME3e GPU memory and 496GB LPDDR5X CPU memory) and the fastest networking solution with NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC to drive the most intensive and largest AI workloads, training models with up to 460 billion parameters.
- The new Dell Pro Max notebooks and desktops offer unprecedented power, reliability, and scalability. They are equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell Generation GPUs and Intel Core Ultra (Series 2), AMD Ryzen-powered Copilot+ PCs with AI experiences, and AMD Threadripper processor options, featuring a bold and high-end design. Under intensive workloads, users can boost productivity.

New Dell PowerEdge servers and networking accelerate AI integration for enterprises
- Dell PowerEdge supports the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform, including the upcoming NVIDIA HGX B300 NVL16, NVIDIA GB300 NVL72, and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition. It delivers systems with up to 288GB HBM3e memory to work quickly and scalably with complex AI models.[vi] These future servers will deliver peak performance of AI clusters with 800Gb/s throughput using NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICs.[vii]
- 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, including a five-year subscription to NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, with NVIDIA NIM and the NVIDIA Llama Nemotron models for reasoning. This makes them a powerful platform for GenAI fine-tuning, inference, and agentic reasoning applications, as well as high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. These servers will also support up to eight NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition PCIe GPUs, resulting in more than double the AI performance and greater flexibility when integrating AI workloads into business processes.[viii]
- The new Dell PowerEdge XE8712 server with GB200 NVL4 enables the next generation of accelerated AI computing, 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, providing a scalable solution that optimizes performance and increased computing efficiency while reducing operational costs and saving space in the datacenter.
