It’s not a fact that clients will receive servers this year
Nvidia has already introduced Blackwell accelerators for AI, but they have not yet entered the market. It is reported that mass production of DGX GB200 servers will not start until sometime in the second half of the year.
Whether the first customers will have time to receive the first installations before the end of this year is unknown, but next year Nvidia plans to put 40,000 of these servers on the market. Let us remind you that one DGX GB200 in the top-end configuration HGX B200 contains 36 GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips accelerators and 72 Blackwell GPUs. Apparently, in this generation Nvidia decided to offer customers primarily not individual accelerators, as was the case with the H100 and A100, but ready-made servers.
There will also be DGX NVL72, NVL32 servers with fewer CPUs and GPUs. For example, the DGX NVL72 will cost about $3 million. One can only guess how much the older HGX B200 will cost.
Nvidia has already noted that it expects impressive growth in revenue from sales of AI accelerators after the release of Blackwell, while supposedly the situation with availability at the start should be better than with the H100.
