Dell PowerEdge XE8640

The Dell PowerEdge XE8640 is a 4U dual-socket GPU server built for AI and machine-learning training, inferencing and HPC modeling and simulation. Four NVIDIA HGX H100 80GB 700W SXM5 GPUs are fully linked by NVLink for up to 900GB/s of GPU-to-GPU bandwidth, driven by two 4th or 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 64 cores each. It has 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots for up to 4TB at up to 5600 MT/s, up to 8x 2.5" SAS/SATA/NVMe or 8x E3.S NVMe SSDs on PERC H965i, and up to four PCIe Gen5 x16 slots. CPUs are air cooled and GPUs use closed-loop liquid-assisted air cooling, so no facility water is needed. Four Titanium 2800W or 3200W PSUs and iDRAC9 complete it. Fully configurable.
