① SA Source

Context Before

Within VR NVL72, Quartz is initially adopted for the Orchid board and the midplane to allow the longest distance PCIe Gen 6 signal traveling through these two boards with as little insertion loss as possible. However, given the cost of the Quartz cloth and the difficulty in Q cloth processing, Nvidia is currently exploring the option of downgrading back to glass fiber cloth.

Evidence

The final decision is pending on the signal performance with the downgraded glass fiber cloth.

Context After

Beside material upgrade, the other driver of PCB content value is the increase of high end PCB area coverage. In Grace Blackwell, the only boards with high end material are the Bianca board with M7 grade CCL and the NVSwitch board with M8 grade CCL, leaving front half of the compute tray uncovered by high end PCB board. For VR NVL72, the Orchid board and the midplane board increases the high end PCB board area in the compute tray covering the front half of the chassis.
