ASUS ESC NB8-E11
A 10U eight-GPU server built on the NVIDIA Blackwell HGX B200 baseboard, with dual 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors at 350 W and NVLink giving 1,800 GB/s directly between GPUs, twice the bandwidth of the Hopper-generation ESC N8-E11. It uses a dedicated one-GPU-to-one-NIC topology supporting up to eight NICs, and offers up to 11 PCIe slots, 32 DIMM slots, 10 NVMe bays and dual 10Gb LAN, with 5+1 80 PLUS Titanium supplies. Unlike many B200 platforms it is air-cooled, using dedicated CPU and GPU airflow tunnels, which is what accounts for the 10U height. ASUS publishes no FLOPS figure of its own, so the compute shown is NVIDIA's for the HGX B200 baseboard, including the sparse figures NVIDIA publishes for Blackwell. ASUS's detailed specification tab does not render server-side, so chassis dimensions, weight and power supply wattages could not be read and are deliberately absent.

Where a vendor states a basis, the figure shown is the dense one, and any figure it publishes is listed separately. Vendors commonly headline the sparse number instead: for NVIDIA's 2:4 structured sparsity that is exactly twice the dense figure, though other vendors' sparse modes do not all follow that ratio.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the ESC NB8-E11 cost?
ASUS sells the ESC NB8-E11 on quote through OEMs and resellers, and nobody rents a whole one by the hour. Renting its 8 B200 accelerators separately at the cheapest live rate Flopper tracks, $4.09 per GPU-hour across 15 providers, comes to about $32.72 an hour for the equivalent capacity. B200 rental prices →
How much power does the ESC NB8-E11 require?
ASUS has not published a power figure for the ESC NB8-E11, and Flopper does not derive one from the accelerator count because the rest of the system draws power too.
How many GPUs are in the ESC NB8-E11?
8. The ESC NB8-E11 carries 8 NVIDIA B200 SXM 180GB accelerators in a rack form factor, and every throughput figure on this page is the total across them. B200 specifications →
