GB2-0010

① SA Source

Context Before

The GB200 NVL72 racks consists of 18 1U compute trays and 9 NVSwitch trays. Each compute tray is 1U in height and contains 2 Bianca boards. Each Bianca board is 1 Grace CPU and 2 Blackwell GPUs. The NVSwitch trays have two 28.8Tb/s NVSwitch5 ASICs.

With the exception of one hyperscaler who plans to deploy this as the primary variant, we believe that this version will be rarely deployed until Blackwell Ultra as most datacenter infrastructure cannot support this high of a rack density even with direct-to-chip liquid cooling (DLC).

Evidence

Each NVswitch tray has 18 1.6T twin-port OSFP cages which connect horizontally to a pair NVL36 rack.

② Atomic Claim

每個 NVSwitch tray 有 18 個 1.6T twin-port OSFP cages,用於橫向連接一對 NVL36 racks。
