How XPUs Meet a World-Class AI Factory

AI factories require infrastructure designed as an integrated whole, not just a collection of accelerators. Companies building custom XPUs must consider the entire platform's design, including complex networking and software. This path represents a fundamental obstacle to accelerating XPUs' market entry. NVLink Fusion provides a solution by connecting XPUs to NVIDIA's leading infrastructure, enhancing performance and accelerating time to market. Modern networking solutions must excel in delivering integrated performance and high reliability, ensuring continuous operation in factories.

Up to 30x More Work Per Watt: NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Sets a New Efficiency Standard for AI Agents

OpenRouter data indicates that agentic AI workloads consume 15 times more tokens than simple chat requests. This is due to the complexity of tasks performed by agents, such as researching companies for investment decisions, which increases token demand. Agentic workloads necessitate infrastructure capable of meeting this rising token demand. New performance data shows that NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 systems deliver up to 30 times higher throughput per megawatt compared to NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems.
