ASRock announces compact rack form factor optimized for Nvidia H200 Superchip deployment.

ASRock Rack has unveiled what it claims is the world's smallest rack server equipped with NVIDIA's latest GH200 Superchips, designed to bring AI deployment to edge environments with enhanced efficiency and compact form factors. The new MECAI-GH200 represents a significant achievement in integrating NVIDIA's cutting-edge AI modules into a dense, manageable platform suitable for distributed computing scenarios.

The NVIDIA Grace Hopper GH200 Superchip comes in two distinct variants. The first is the GH200 GPU, which features a single Grace chip containing 72 Neoverse V2 cores alongside HBM3 memory. The second variant, the Grace Supership, incorporates two Grace CPUs, each with 72 cores—totaling 144 cores—paired with LPDDR5X memory. Both implementations leverage NVIDIA's proprietary NVLink interconnect technology to integrate the on-board components seamlessly.

Hunter Chen, Vice President at ASRock Rack, stated: "As ASRock Rack, we aspire to bring the benefits of AI to everywhere. To achieve this goal, we are committed to deliver the most dependable server hardware solutions in various form factors for different scenarios. We are glad about the opportunity to showcase the MECAI-GH200 as one example of our ambition for 2024 here at the Mobile World Congress, enabling AI on the edge."

Ivan Goldwasser, Director of Data Center CPUs at NVIDIA, added: "We launched the GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip to meet the surging demand for generative AI. By leveraging this innovative platform with integrated memory technology, ASRock Rack is equipped to deliver an impressive server line-up with leading performance and memory bandwidth to suit a variety of applications. This aligns to our mission of delivering performance without compromise."
