Fujitsu PRIMERGY GX2580 M8s vs HPE Compute XD690

Both are built on the NVIDIA HGX B300 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.

Rows shown in grey are identical between the two.

Fujitsu PRIMERGY GX2580 M8s

Fujitsu's Blackwell Ultra machine, built on one NVIDIA SXM HGX B300 8-GPU baseboard integrating eight Blackwell Ultra SXM modules. Networking is the notable part: eight NVIDIA ConnectX-8 OSFP ports at 800GbE apiece, one per accelerator, so scale-out matches the baseboard rather than bottlenecking it. Hosting is two Intel Xeon 6700 or 6500P processors reaching 86 cores and 172 threads, with 32 DIMM slots taking up to 8 TB of DDR5-6400. Storage is eight hot-plug E1.S NVMe bays holding up to 123 TB plus two M.2 devices, and there are two front full-height half-length PCIe 5.0 x16 slots. The 8U chassis measures 483 by 980 by 356 mm and weighs up to 137 kg with rails, drawing from six 6,600 W Titanium supplies in 3+3 redundancy. Fujitsu states no total GPU memory, no throughput figure and no system power draw; baseboard performance is on the linked HGX B300 entry.

HPE Compute XD690

A 10U air-cooled single-node chassis carrying eight NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra SXM6 GPUs on the HGX B300 baseboard, which HPE names directly in the orderable part S6A37A. Two Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores drive it, either the 6776P or the 6767P, both 64-core at 350 W, with up to 32 DDR5 DIMMs and a minimum system memory of 2,048 GB running at 5,200 MT/s in the two-DIMM-per-channel configuration HPE recommends for performance. Scale-out is eight ConnectX-8 adapters supporting InfiniBand XDR or Spectrum-X Ethernet, with storage of eight E1.S drives and two M.2. Power comes from twelve fixed 3,200 W Titanium supplies in an N+N redundant arrangement, and HPE rates the machine at 14.3 kW continuous and 16.4 kW peak. Air cooling a Blackwell Ultra system of this density is unusual and it shows in the mechanicals: the chassis weighs 226 kg, ships pre-racked by default, and HPE requires a server lift on site before its engineers will service it. HPE describes it as delivering 50 percent higher FP4 performance than the prior Blackwell generation but publishes no FLOPS figure of its own, so the compute shown is NVIDIA's specification for the HGX B300 board rather than an HPE claim.
