Supermicro is expanding its AI infrastructure offerings with powerful new systems built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell Ultra platform, designed to handle the escalating computational demands of advanced AI workloads. These next-generation systems feature dramatically increased memory capacity and enhanced networking capabilities, positioning Supermicro at the forefront of hardware solutions for training and running sophisticated AI models as organizations scale their AI initiatives.

The big picture: Supermicro has unveiled new AI computing systems powered by NVIDIA’s Blackwell Ultra platform at GTC 2025, featuring the NVIDIA HGX B300 NVL16 and GB300 NVL72 configurations for high-performance AI workloads.

Key details: The new systems leverage Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions approach to deliver both air and liquid-cooled configurations optimized for intensive AI computing tasks.

  • The liquid-cooling options can operate with warm water at temperatures up to 40℃ in 8-node rack configurations or 35℃ in 16-node setups.
  • These cooling innovations reduce power consumption by up to 40% while conserving water resources, addressing key sustainability concerns in data center operations.

Hardware specifications: The NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform delivers significant performance improvements with 288GB of HBM3e memory per GPU and integration with NVIDIA’s Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking.

  • The systems provide compute fabric bandwidth of up to 800 Gb/s, enabling faster data movement for large-scale AI training.
  • Supermicro is offering both the NVIDIA HGX B300 NVL16 systems and the NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 with Grace Blackwell architecture to address different AI computing needs.

What they’re saying: “Supermicro continues to work closely with NVIDIA to bring the most advanced AI technology to market,” stated Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro.

Where to see it: Supermicro is demonstrating these new AI systems at GTC 2025 in San Jose from March 17-21, 2025, at booth #1115, with additional information available on their website.
