New Delhi: Asus is now pushing its boundaries with the latest ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3, with the regular-looking tower PC that packs Nvidia’s powerful GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra desktop superchip inside. It is specially designed for the local AI development, model training, and inference, by offering the users data center-level performance without needing an actual server room. It looks like a standard desktop tower.
This system combines a Grace CPU with 72 Arm cores and a Blackwell Ultra GPU, delivering up to 20 petaFLOPS of AI performance.
It features a massive 748GB of unified coherent memory, (496GB LPDDR5X for the CPU + 252GB HBM3e for the GPU). This step lets the users work with really large AI models, even those approaching trillion-parameter scale, right on the user’s desk.
It comes with the hefty 1,600W power supply and strong cooling, so it can run at full power for long periods without slowing down. It gets three PCIe 5.0 slots, support for up to four M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs, and high-speed NVLink-C2C and ConnectX-8 networking.
It ships with Ubuntu and Nvidia’s AI tools pre-loaded, with Windows support coming later. In terms of ports, it includes eight USB 3.2 ports, one USB 2.0 port, and dual 10Gbps Ethernet.
