HPE offers three different blades for the GX5000. The first is the GX440n Accelerated Blade for mixed-precision computing, with four Nvidia Vera CPUs and eight Nvidia Rubin GPUs. Up to 24 of these blades can be configured per compute rack, which translates to 192 Rubin GPUs per rack. Vera Rubin It will ship at the end of next year.

Second is the GX350a Accelerated Blade, designed for customers who want a universal compute engine for mixed-precision computing with AMD CPUs and GPUs. The blade includes a next-generation “Venice” CPU and four AMD Instinct MI430X GPUs. Up to 28 of these blades can be configured per compute rack, providing up to 112 AMD MI430X GPUs per rack.

Finally, there is the Compute Blade GX250 for customers who want a CPU-only partition for double-precision workloads with eight next-generation Venice CPUs per rack. Up to 40 such blades can be configured per compute rack, delivering industry-leading x86 CPU core density.
