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.
