Inventec P9000AG7 (AC) vs Inventec P9000G6 (LC)
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.

Inventec P9000AG7 (AC)
Inventec's air-cooled Blackwell node on AMD hosts, a 10U chassis 448 by 441 by 850 mm carrying one NVIDIA HGX B200 baseboard alongside fifth-generation AMD EPYC processors of up to 400 W. Storage is eight U.2 NVMe bays from the PCIe switch plus four more from the CPU and two M.2, and the switch also provides eight low-profile PCIe Gen5 x16 slots. Cooling is air, with fifteen 80 mm fans on the GPU side and five on the CPU side, and power comes from 3,300 W 54 V supplies in 4+2 redundancy for the accelerators with a separate 2,400 W 12 V plane in 1+1 for the host. Inventec publishes no throughput, memory or system power figure for the node; the baseboard's figures are on the linked HGX B200 entry. The GPU count is not stated on the page either, and is taken from NVIDIA's designation of HGX B200 as an eight-GPU baseboard.
Vendor product pageInventec P9000G6 (LC)
The liquid-cooled Blackwell node in Inventec's range, an 8U chassis 448 by 352 by 850 mm carrying one NVIDIA HGX B200 baseboard with fourth or fifth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors of up to 385 W. Liquid cooling saves two rack units against the air-cooled P9000AG7 and cuts the GPU fan count from fifteen to five. Storage and expansion match the air-cooled machine at eight U.2 NVMe bays from the switch, four more from the CPU, two M.2 and eight low-profile PCIe Gen5 x16 slots. Power is 3,300 W 54 V supplies in 3+3 redundancy with a 2,400 W 12 V host plane. Inventec publishes no throughput, memory or system power figure; the linked HGX B200 entry carries NVIDIA's. The GPU count is not stated and follows from NVIDIA's designation of HGX B200 as an eight-GPU baseboard.
