NVIDIA DGX B200
A complete, ready-to-run server with 8 of NVIDIA's newest B200 chips.
GPU memory
1,440 GB
GPU memory is the "workspace" a graphics card uses to hold an AI model while it runs. If a model is bigger than the available memory, it simply will not fit — like trying to fit a large book on a shelf that's too small. More in the wiki →
8 GPUs × 180 GB each.
Power draw
14,300 W
Watts measure how much electricity something draws while it's running. More powerful hardware needs more electricity and produces more heat that has to be cooled. More in the wiki →
Ideal cooling
Air-cooled server (near air's practical limit)
This class of heat density is roughly where air cooling tops out; it needs serious datacenter airflow planned before installation. Running flat out, it turns 14,300 W of electricity into heat that has to go somewhere. We stock matching cooling gear →
Price
$500,000
This is a current typical market price, not a fixed list price — real prices move with supply and demand. NVIDIA does not publish a list price. A configurator listing put one unit at $515,410 (first reported by WCCFTech); other estimates run as low as $275,000. We use $500,000 as a representative typical figure.
CPU
2x Intel Xeon Platinum 8570 (56 cores each, 112 cores total)
The CPU is the general-purpose "manager" chip. It runs the operating system, moves data around, and hands the heavy AI math off to the GPUs. More in the wiki →
System RAM
2,048 GB
System RAM is fast temporary memory the CPU uses for everyday work. It's separate from GPU memory, which is what actually holds the AI model. More in the wiki →
What this means in everyday terms
Running one of these draws as much power as about 11.9 average homes running around the clock. A full day of running one uses about 3.81 electric-car batteries worth of energy. An average home draws roughly 1,200 watts around the clock. This compares a build's power draw to that baseline. More in the wiki →
NVIDIA DGX B200 is sold to run inside a server or rack — it isn't something you plug into a home PC.
