- Asus ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 hides Nvidia’s wildest chip
- With up to 784 GB of memory, the models handles that your RTX 5090 simply cannot
- No rack, no noise -just supercomputer -class AI performance on a desk you can use
ASUS has revealed a new high-performance desktop PC that delivers Petaflop scale AI performance, not in a flashy server stand, but in a surprisingly modest chassis.
The ASUS Expert Center Pro ET900N G3 is similar to any standard business tower – so much that it even includes a DVD drive and a curious looking slot that feels like a setback to the early 2000s.
In the heart of this business PC is the NVIDIA GB300 Ultra, a two-part module that combines a Grace CPU with a Blackwell GPU via NVLink-C2C, Nvidias Interconnect with high bandwidth, making it ideal for programming and AI development.
Designed for Serious AI work
The overall chip architecture allows CPU and GPU to share a single memory pool, reduce latency and improve the effectiveness of large AI workloads. The system can deliver up to 20 pflop’s performance for training large language models or run inference on high parameter models.
It supports up to 784 GB of contiguous memory, more than twice the combined VRAM for a workstation with four RTX 6000 ADA cards.
This scale of memory access is important for developers and researchers working with models that exceed the capacities of mainstream GPUs such as GeForce RTX 5090, offering 32 GB VRAM.
ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 also includes support for NVIDIA ConnectX-8 Supernic, enabling high-capacity networks between systems. This allows it to work in clusters or within a larger company’s AI implementation.
Despite its performance, it retains a desktopform factor that eliminates the need for rack installation, custom cooling solutions or infrastructure requirements from a data center.
On the software side, the system NVIDIA DGX OS runs, a specialized Ubuntu-based Linux distribution tailored to AI workloads. It provides originally support for the full Nvidia softwar stacks, including CUDA, TENSORRT and LIABILITIES FOR MACHINING LEARNING AND DATACIAL.
It also supports remote scaling, which allows ET900N G3 to integrate seamlessly with other DGX systems if additional calculation effect is needed.
