    The latest NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip with NVLink Chip-2-Chip (C2C) technology achieves communication bandwidths of 900 GB/s, vastly enhancing data-transfer speeds. This technology is also highly energy-efficient, consuming only 1.3 picojoules per bit transferred, making it over 5X more efficient than PCIe® 5.0. The ASUS-optimized mechanical design enables GH200 to be operated with exceptional efficiency and high performance, ensuring robust and sustainable operation for demanding computing tasks.

  • Ultimate flexibility and scalability with MGX

    ASUS ESC NM1-E1 leverages NVIDIA MGX™, an open and flexible reference design that provides a single, future-compatible architecture. Thanks to the modular architecture, offering 160 configurations, clients can tailor AI solutions to precise needs. MGX provides a new standard for modular server design by improving return on investment (ROI) and reducing time to market.

  • Optimized thermal design for excellent performance

    ASUS ESC NM1-E1 delivers on customer demands, with a 2U chassis that’s designed with an advanced air duct design that optimizes airflow and reduces the need for multiple fans – significantly improving cooling efficiency. This innovative design incorporates an optimized hinge and mixed materials, resulting in a heatsink that is one-third smaller than 1U system. This size reduction, achieved without sacrificing performance, highlights the superior engineering and design focus on maximizing space efficiency and thermal management within the chassis.
