QCT QuantaGrid D74F-7U vs Supermicro GPU SuperServer AS -8125GS-TNHR (HGX H200)
Both are built on the NVIDIA HGX H200 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.
QCT QuantaGrid D74F-7U
The OCP-slot variant of QCT's 7U Hopper machine, carrying the same eight NVIDIA HGX H200 GPUs at 900 GB/s over NVLink and the same 1.1 TB of aggregate high-bandwidth memory as the D75F-7U. The differences are in I/O and packaging: one BlueField-3 DPU rather than two, ten OCP 3.0 TSFF PCIe Gen 5 slots, a shorter 886 mm chassis, and three-plus-three 4,000 W Titanium supplies. QCT quotes the same over 32 petaflops of FP8 figure, which is not shown here for the same reason as on the D75F: the basis is unstated and cannot be settled. Power figures are supply capacity, not draw.
Vendor product pageSupermicro GPU SuperServer AS -8125GS-TNHR (HGX H200)
Supermicro's 8U AMD EPYC platform for the NVIDIA HGX H200 8-GPU baseboard, and the EPYC sibling of the Intel-based SYS-821GE-TNHR. Two SP5 sockets take AMD EPYC 9004 processors up to 128 cores and 256 threads at up to 400 W each, air cooled, with 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 6 TB of DDR5. GPUs connect to the CPUs over PCIe 5.0 x16 and to each other over NVLink with NVSwitch, and the chassis provides eight NICs for GPU-direct RDMA at a 1:1 ratio with the GPUs. The CSE-GP801TS chassis is 8U, weighs 102.1 kg gross, takes up to ten heavy-duty fans and six 3000 W Titanium supplies in 3+3 redundancy. Compute is identical to the H100 configuration because H100 and H200 are the same silicon at the same clocks; the difference is memory, 1.128 TB of HBM3e here against 0.64 TB. Supermicro publishes no FLOPS figure for this system; the compute shown is NVIDIA's for the HGX H200 baseboard it carries. Supermicro publishes no system power draw either, only the supply configuration, so total power is left blank.
