Dell confirms: Nvidia will launch a 1000W B200 "Blackwell" accelerator card next year

Clarke stated at the financial report meeting that his engineering team is ready for the Nvidia B200 and has discussed in depth the demand for 1000W energy density, hinting that Nvidia plans to increase the power consumption level of data center GPUs. For more details, please participate in our financial report meeting summary.

The content of Clarke's speech is as follows:

We are very excited about B100 and B200, which is a new opportunity to break through the constraints of engineering. Our research on heat dissipation has shown that it is possible to achieve an energy density of 1000W per GPU without the need for direct water cooling.

Next year's B200 will achieve this goal. We will have the opportunity to showcase our engineering skills, our speed of action, and our work as an industry leader to achieve large-scale water-cooled cooling.

At present, Nvidia's top AI accelerator card H100 has a maximum power consumption of 700W. The B200 is not on Nvidia's roadmap released in October last year, and the GB200 in the picture is a GPU processor.The company has not yet released detailed information on the upcoming B100 and may release new information at the developer conference later this month.
