NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said: "I'm here, I'm here to announce this Dell AI factory with NVIDIA going to market starting today. In order to do this, just think about what an AI factory is. It has CPUs and GPUs. It has networking switches. Incredible amounts of software in systems connected to storage and the miles of, the miles of cables alone necessary to build up one of these things. Well we. . . you know, Michael, turned it into an easy bit. And so that, just as Dell did in early days with PCs, they're now doing this with AI factories".

Jensen continued: "So that any company can come to Dell with a specification and requirement they could get into the business of producing - and this is the big idea - producing intelligence at scale".

Dell's new PowerEdge XE9680L server has support for up to 8 x liquid-cooled NVIDIA Blackwell AI GPUs, while Dell also offers businesses to rapidly scale deployment through a turnkey solution, with future versions of Dell's XE9680L servers to support an insane 72 x NVIDIA AI GPUs in a single rack.
