Fujitsu PRIMERGY GX2580 M8s vs HPE ProLiant Compute XD685 (HGX B300)

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.

Interconnect	One NVIDIA SXM HGX B300 8-GPU baseboard integrating eight Blackwell Ultra SXM modules with high-speed interconnect; scale-out is eight NVIDIA ConnectX-8 OSFP 800GbE ports, alongside two 10GbE RJ45 on an Intel X710	NVLink 5.0 / NVSwitch 4.0 across the HGX B300 baseboard; 4x FHHL PCIe Gen5 x16 slots for fabric, NIC or DPU

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 ProLiant Compute XD685 (HGX B300)

The eight-way XD685 in its NVIDIA HGX B300 configuration, which requires the high-power liquid-cooled chassis S6Y07A rather than the standard DLC one. This is the denser sibling of the air-cooled XD690, which reaches the same eight Blackwell Ultra GPUs in 10U where this does it in 5U. Two fifth-generation AMD EPYC processors, 24 DIMM slots and up to 6 TB of DDR5-6400, eight EDSFF NVMe E3.S drives. HPE publishes no system power draw for the XD685, only twelve 3,000 W Titanium supplies with ten deployable, so unlike the XD690 no figure is recorded; the compute shown is NVIDIA's specification for the HGX B300 baseboard rather than an HPE claim.
