Dell has unveiled the Pro Max with GB300 at GTC, and the system is nothing short of shocking when it comes to processing power as it is capable of 20-petaFLOPs. What's inside? Almost every bell and whistle you can think of when it comes to a workstation desktop, with the system featuring NVIDIA's latest GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip that features an NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPU with next-generation Tensor Cores and FP4 precision. Additionally, the system features 784 GB of unified system memory - 288GB of HBM3e within the GPU and 496GB of LPDDR5X for the CPU.

As you can probably imagine, this system has been optimized for large-scale AI training workloads, hence the inclusion of the NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, which ushers in support for an insane networking speed of 800Gbps. Dell intends the system to be used by developers who are looking to test prototypes and scale their AI models into production environments. Moreover, the new system is also aimed at engineers looking to run large-scale training and inferencing workloads, which would typically be run on servers.

At the moment pricing isn't available for the Dell Pro Max with GB300, but given the hardware that's inside we can expect it to cost a pretty penny.
