ASUS ESC NB8-E11 vs Fujitsu PRIMERGY GX2570 M8s (Air-Cooled)

Both are built on the NVIDIA HGX B200 8-GPU baseboard, so their accelerator performance is identical rather than merely similar. The choice between them is chassis, cooling, expansion and supplier, not FLOPS.

ASUS ESC NB8-E11

A 10U eight-GPU server built on the NVIDIA Blackwell HGX B200 baseboard, with dual 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors at 350 W and NVLink giving 1,800 GB/s directly between GPUs, twice the bandwidth of the Hopper-generation ESC N8-E11. It uses a dedicated one-GPU-to-one-NIC topology supporting up to eight NICs, and offers up to 11 PCIe slots, 32 DIMM slots, 10 NVMe bays and dual 10Gb LAN, with 5+1 80 PLUS Titanium supplies. Unlike many B200 platforms it is air-cooled, using dedicated CPU and GPU airflow tunnels, which is what accounts for the 10U height. ASUS publishes no FLOPS figure of its own, so the compute shown is NVIDIA's for the HGX B200 baseboard, including the sparse figures NVIDIA publishes for Blackwell. ASUS's detailed specification tab does not render server-side, so chassis dimensions, weight and power supply wattages could not be read and are deliberately absent.

Fujitsu PRIMERGY GX2570 M8s (Air-Cooled)

The air-cooled member of Fujitsu's PRIMERGY GX2570 M8s pair, sold by Fsas Technologies, the renamed Fujitsu server business. A 10U chassis carries one NVIDIA HGX B200 8-GPU baseboard holding eight B200 SXM modules at 180 GB apiece, interconnected by NVSwitch, for 1.44 TB of GPU memory. Hosting is two Intel Xeon 6900P processors reaching 128 cores and 256 threads, with 24 DIMM slots taking up to 6 TB of DDR5 at 6400 MT/s or MRDIMM at 8800. Storage is ten hot-plug 2.5 inch NVMe bays plus two internal M.2, and expansion is two full-height half-length and ten low-profile PCIe 5.0 x16 slots. The machine measures 449 by 843.3 by 438.8 mm and weighs up to 133 kg with rails, drawing from six 5,250 W Titanium supplies in 3+3 redundancy. Fujitsu publishes no throughput figure and no system power draw; performance figures for the baseboard are on the linked HGX B200 entry.
