Dell Technologies Unveil New AI Server: Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra Chips

Dell Technologies recently announced a significant development for enterprise customers, unveiling a new line of AI servers powered by NVIDIA’s advanced Blackwell Ultra chips. These chips are significantly more powerful and faster than their predecessors, enabling the processing of larger datasets and complex tasks simultaneously. This can enhance AI model training and inference performance by up to four times.

Launched last Monday, this new technology incorporates advanced cooling options. The servers are available in both air-cooled and liquid-cooled variants, catering to diverse enterprise environment needs. The standard configuration includes 192 Blackwell Ultra chips per rack, with customers able to customize up to 256 chips based on their requirements. Overall, these servers combine cutting-edge chips, advanced cooling technology, and faster AI model training capabilities, accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence at the enterprise level.

Arthur Lewis, President of Dell’s Infrastructure Solutions Group, stated, “These new servers will be available at competitive market prices, and we are already seeing significant interest.” He further noted that this technology will also meet enterprise customers’ “sovereign AI” requirements.

Technologies of this AI server

To stay aligned with future technology, Dell has already incorporated full support for NVIDIA’s upcoming Vera CPU and Vera Rubin architecture into their roadmap. The company is developing a new PowerEdge XE series, optimized for the Vera Rubin architecture and compatible with the Dell IR7000 rack system.

Key features of the new PowerEdge XE series include:

• Dell PowerCool technology, which delivers significant improvements in engineering efficiency and energy consumption.
• Up to fourfold acceleration in LLM training based on NVIDIA HGX B300 and B100.
• Compatibility with future NVIDIA Vera CPU and Vera Rubin architecture.

Dell has also enhanced its networking and storage expansion portfolio. The company has introduced advanced switches (PowerSwitch SN5600, SN2201 Ethernet, and Quantum-X800 InfiniBand), supporting transfer speeds of up to 800 Gbps. Additionally, Dell ProSupport services will provide proactive guidance at every stage of AI deployment.

Furthermore, Dell’s new AI servers are available in both air-cooled and liquid-cooled variants, allowing users to choose a cooling system based on their needs. The air-cooled version regulates server temperature using airflow, while the liquid-cooled version employs liquid to more effectively cool high-performance chips. These dual options are expected to deliver more stable and efficient performance for large and complex AI workloads.

How this AI server will enhance business adoption:

This server can analyze large volumes of data at high speed, enabling faster and more informed business decisions.

With advanced AI technology, it can analyze customer needs and behavior to deliver more personalized services and recommendations. Many routine and repetitive tasks can be automated, reducing costs and increasing employee productivity. Through this advanced AI server, businesses can quickly identify emerging trends and demands and take effective actions. Undoubtedly, these advantages will significantly improve business adoption and strengthen competitive positioning.

Conclusion

Overall, Dell Technologies’ new AI servers will deliver groundbreaking performance and extensive customization options for AI model training and inference to enterprise customers, making the enterprise landscape more dynamic and adaptable in the AI era.

The company has also launched its ‘Pro Max Plus’ laptops, which are equipped with an advanced Neural Processing Unit (NPU). These laptops are capable of processing AI models locally, reducing reliance on the cloud and providing users with a faster and more secure experience.

Earlier this year, in February, Dell had forecast lower gross margins for the 2026 quarter. However, the company now aims to offset that shortfall through higher sales of its new server line. Despite high production costs and intense competition, both Dell and Super Micro Computer plan to maintain effective pricing strategies to increase profitability in the AI-supported server market.
