NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand
End-to-end 800 Gb/s InfiniBand platform for the largest AI training clusters.
- Speed: 800 Gb/s per port
- Components: Switches, ConnectX-8 SuperNICs, LinkX cables
- Features: In-network computing (SHARP), adaptive routing
SuperNIC delivering up to 800 Gb/s for InfiniBand or Ethernet GPU-to-GPU networking.
The NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC delivers up to 800 Gb/s of network bandwidth per adapter for GPU-to-GPU communication in large AI clusters. It supports both InfiniBand (XDR) and Ethernet, and is the standard compute-fabric NIC in Blackwell Ultra systems.
A PCIe Gen6 host interface with up to 48 lanes and an integrated PCIe switch let one ConnectX-8 serve GPUs, CPUs and storage without extra switch chips.
Highest-bandwidth NIC for AI compute fabrics.
XDR 800G InfiniBand by default, or 2× 400GbE Ethernet.
Up to 48 lanes, backward compatible with Gen5 and Gen4.
High-bandwidth, low-latency transfers tuned for generative AI.
PCIe cards, OCP 3.0 and mezzanine options for different servers.
