  For anyone - including, apparently, this article's author's - who is confused about the form factor, this is the next generation to follow the Grace Blackwell "GB300-NVL72", their full rack interconnected system.

  It's the same technology as the matching 8-GPU "HGX" board that is built into larger individual servers - which in this generation's case is just called "B300" as it has the "Blackwell" GPU but not the "Grace" CPU - but not sold in smaller units than an entire rack.

  Here are some pictures and a video of that NVL72 version (you can buy these from Dell and others, as well as direct from Nvidia):

  The full rack has 18 compute trays, each with 2 of the pictured board inside (for a total of 36 CPUs and 72 GPUs), and 9 NVLink switch trays that connect every GPU together. PSUs and networking make up the rest.

  Old-timey doctors had a word for that procedure... "lobotomy". Cleaned your mind right out.

  Would you also like some heroin or cocaine?

  If their case is too solid, try eating more fibre.

  Thanks for the heads-up, added the internet archive torrent to seed up to 25MB/s
