QCT QuantaGrid D75F-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 D75F-7U

QCT's 7U Hopper machine, with two fifth or fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and eight NVIDIA HGX H200 GPUs linked at 900 GB/s over NVLink. Storage is eighteen small-form-factor all-NVMe bays for GPU-Direct Storage plus a boot drive, and two NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs offload networking. QCT gives 1.1 TB of aggregate high-bandwidth memory. It also quotes over 32 petaflops of FP8, which is not shown here: QCT does not say whether that is dense or sparse, it is close to double the dense figure NVIDIA published for this baseboard, and NVIDIA no longer lists the H200 on its HGX page, so there is no way to settle which column it belongs in without guessing. Power is four-plus-two 4,000 W Titanium supplies, which is capacity rather than draw.

Supermicro 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.
