Inventec P5800G7 vs Penguin Solutions Relion XE8418GTS
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.

Inventec P5800G7
Inventec's densest Blackwell Ultra node: the same eight-accelerator HGX B300 NVL8 baseboard as its 10U air-cooled sibling, folded into 5U at 448 by 219.5 by 875 mm by moving to liquid cooling. The fan count tells the story, four 80 mm GPU fans against fifteen in the air-cooled machine. East-west networking is eight 800Gb OSFP connectors driven by NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICs, one per accelerator, and hosts are Intel Xeon 6700 series with E-cores or 6700 and 6500 series with P-cores. Power is 3,300 W 54 V supplies in 4+1 or 4+2 redundancy with a 2,000 W 12 V host plane. This is the only Inventec node whose GPU count is stated on the page, in the NVL8 designation itself. No throughput, memory or system power figure is published.
Vendor product pagePenguin Solutions Relion XE8418GTS
The Penguin Solutions Relion XE8418GTS is a 8U GPU server carrying eight NVIDIA HGX B300 SXM6 modules of 288 GB each, hosted by Intel Xeon 6 (6700/6500 Series) processors with 4x PCIe Gen5 x16 FHHL double-width. The air-cooled Blackwell Ultra machine, twice the height of its direct-to-chip sibling for the same eight accelerators. Penguin publishes only rack height, host processor, expansion slots and the accelerator for its servers, so no power draw, total memory, interconnect bandwidth or throughput figure is shown here; its full datasheets are hosted off its own domain and were not used as a source.
