On the one hand, I am envious that Patrick was able to work on a 8-way Blackwell Ultra server. On the other hand, I am very glad that I didn't have to lift or listen to said Blackwell Ultra server!
We take a look at the ASUS XA NB3I-E12, an air-cooled NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra server in a massive 9U chassis servethehome.com/asus-xa-nb3…

Kudos to one of our readers for catching this. Someone at Silicon Motion had some fun with their slides for the new SM2524XT SSD controller. "Psychic Spiritual Decoding" error correction, anyone?😂 (It should be "Group Page RAID" or similar)

AMD has released a PCIe version of its Instinct MI350 accelerator, the MI350P. Their first Instinct PCIe card in over 4 years, it's neat enough. But underneath the hood it has an extra surprise: a brand-new chip with a 4 XCD 1 IOD configuration. servethehome.com/amd-intros-…

AMD didn't particularly leverage the configurability aspects of chiplets in the CDNA 3 generation. So it's cool to see it in play here.

We've been working on this one for a while, so I'm thrilled it's finally out. With "just" 200GbE, the scalability of a GB10 cluster varies. But it's a fun way to experiment with a Blackwell cluster for relatively cheap.
We built a 1TB local AI cluster using 8x NVIDIA GB10 systems... with a twist youtu.be/uYepcMoqvKQ

With NVIDIA's incorporation of Groq LPUs into the Vera Rubin rackscale platform, it marks a major shift in the future of inference hardware in the NVIDIA ecosystem. There's a lot of ground to cover, so please check out my full write-up over at STH: servethehome.com/decoding-th…

Sadly, I didn't get to go on this trip. As a GPU aficionado, I am more than a bit envious that Patrick got to get his hands-on so much high-end hardware.😂
Ever want to see all of the new NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra (B300) servers, what goes into GB300 NVL72 racks, liquid cooling, CDUs, heat exchangers, and even outside cooling towers? We speedrun through Supermicro NVIDIA Blackwell AI factory solutions youtu.be/CHEbom4opXg

NVIDIA reporting record revenues for Q4'FY26 is basically business as usual for the company at this point. Their professional visualization revenue was quite the surprise, however: at $1.3 billion, it grew by 74% in a single quarter servethehome.com/nvidia-repo…

This has traditionally been a very stable and high-margin segment. But it has exploded in the last two quarters like it never has before. Between RTX PRO cards flying off the shelves, and DGX Spark right behind that, this is by far the busiest NV's ProViz division has ever been

And it goes without saying: $68 billion in a single quarter is a ridiculous amount of revenue for a chip design firm. It's well-earned, but I still remember when their revenue for the entire year was $5b; that was only a decade ago!

I'm catching up on reading CES announcements this morning. This was an especially good year for monitors: high refresh 5K 27-inch, higher density 3:2 panels. 4K OLED panels with RGB stripes. Nothing outright groundbreaking, but a much-needed focus on quality - especially text

At some point here I'll have to finally replace my calibrated 16:10 display. With the current options coming down the pipe, this will likely be the year. Looks like I'm still stuck between picking 3:2 at 60Hz, or 16:9 for higher refresh rates proper HDR, though.

Still, I'd give a kidney for a 24-inch 3840x2400 panel with dHDR1000 and a refresh rate of at least 120Hz
