NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) recently revealed that Dell Technologies (DELL - Free Report) , Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE - Free Report) and Lenovo will be the first system makers to integrate NVDA’s newly launched Spectrum-X platform.

Launched in May 2023, Spectrum-X is a purpose-built ethernet networking technology for generative artificial intelligence (AI). The Platform integrates Spectrum-4 Ethernet switch and the NVIDIA BlueField-3 SuperNIC, enabling accelerated connectivity under intense workloads.

Introduced in 2022, the Spectrum-4 Ethernet Switch achieves four times the switching throughput compared with its predecessors, all while reducing power consumption by 40% and reaching speeds of up to 51.2 TB/s. BlueField-3 SuperNICs are built to provide strong computational power to networking, storage and security.

The company discloses that the server package from Dell, Hewlett Packard and Lenovo will also integrate hardware, such as the NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core, and software like NVIDIA (AI) Enterprise and AI Workbench, along with various software kits.

NVIDIA Benefits From Rising Demand for AI Globally

With increased demand from consumer Internet companies investing in data centers, applications and cloud servers, NVDA is witnessing a strengthened partner base. The company is actively engaged with numerous industry leaders, including Amazon, Baidu, Meta Platforms, IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Dell and Hewlett Packard.

Furthermore, NVIDIA is experiencing heightened demand for its offerings, driven by the increasing need for accelerated computing and AI advancements in the United States, alongside steady growth in China.

The growing use of generative AI and large language models using NVDA’s GPUs is a tailwind for its data center end-market business. Internationally, the company has acquired a foothold in multiple nations with partners like Foxconn, Lenovo, Tata, Infosys, Reliance and many others to further invest in AI. Additionally, the company is continuously trying to enhance its presence across the automotive, telecommunications, manufacturing and healthcare industries to drive top-line growth.
