Penguin Solutions Relion XE4418GTS-DTC 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.

Penguin Solutions Relion XE4418GTS-DTC

The Penguin Solutions Relion XE4418GTS-DTC is a 4U 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. Direct-to-chip liquid cooling puts a full Blackwell Ultra baseboard in 4U, half the height of Penguin's air-cooled B300 machine. 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.
