While AI systems amaze and alarm the world in equal measure, they’re about to get even more powerful. Nvidia has announced a new class of supercomputer that will train the next generation of AI models, and put us all out of work far faster.
The new system is known as the Nvidia DGX GH200, and it will apparently be capable of a massive 1 exaflop of performance. Between the 256 GH200 “superchips” it’s made of, the system will pack an astonishing 144 TB of shared memory, which is 500 times more than Nvidia’s previous supercomputer, the DGX A100, unveiled just three years ago.

To wring out every last drop of power, each GH200 superchip is made up of the company’s Grace CPU and H100 Tensor Core GPU in one package, letting them communicate with each other seven times faster than a PCIe connection and using just one-fifth of the electricity. They’ll all be connected together through the Nvidia NVLink Switch System, to function together as one big GPU.
