HGX B300 is the Blackwell Ultra generation of NVIDIA's eight GPU baseboard. Each GPU carries 288 GB of HBM3e at 8 TB/s, and the eight GPUs are joined by fifth generation NVLink and NVSwitch at 1.8 TB/s per GPU, so a single node holds a trillion parameter model in memory and serves it as one accelerator. NVIDIA publishes 144 PFLOPS of sparse FP4 and 72 PFLOPS of FP8 per baseboard, with dense FP4 1.5 times higher than HGX B200.

The baseboard integrates eight ConnectX-8 SuperNICs at up to 800 Gb/s each, so the east west fabric is part of the platform rather than an add in card. We supply HGX B300 in air cooled 10U chassis for standard racks at about 14 kW per node, and in liquid cooled chassis for high density halls. Both are quoted with AMD EPYC 9005 or Intel Xeon 6 processors, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage and BlueField-3 frontend networking.
