NVIDIA Quantum-X800 (XDR) Clusters

NVIDIA Quantum-X800 (XDR) Clusters

The NVIDIA Quantum-X800 platform is the next generation of NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand. Unleashing 800 gigabits per second (Gb/s) of end-to-end connectivity with ultra-low latency, NVIDIA Quantum-X800 is purpose-built for training and deploying trillion-parameter-scale AI models. The NVIDIA Quantum-X800 family of products include Q3400, Q3200, ConnectX-8 SuperNIC and XDR cables and transceivers.

On this page, you will discover a catalog of products and their respective versions that have been rigorously tested together and endorsed by NVIDIA, forming what we refer to as the Validated Configuration. We strongly advise deploying clusters in a configuration where all components are operating on the most up-to-date Validated Configuration version for optimal performance and compatibility.
