NVIDIA officially launched two new AI solution hardware platforms, Blackwell GB200 NVL4 and Hopper H200 NVL. The GB200 NVL4 module is configured with two Blackwell GB200 GPUs on a larger motherboard, that is, two Grace CPUs and 4 Blackwell B200 GPUs. The module is designed as a single-server solution, equipped with a 4-GPU NVLINK domain and 1.3T consistent memory. The PCIe-based Hopper H200 NVL is now generally available. These cards can connect up to 4 GPUs via the NVLINK domain, providing 7 times faster bandwidth than standard PCIe solutions.
