Prodigy 4-Socket System Outperforms Nvidia GB200 NVL72 |
At its recent annual developer conference GTC 2024, Nvidia announced its Blackwell platform. It is the new NVIDIA B200 Tensor Core GPU, designed for artificial intelligence (AI) calculations and the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip that connects two B200s to the NVIDIA Grace CPU over a 900GB/s ultra-low-power NVLink chip-to-chip interconnect.  The GB200 is a key component of the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 rack-scale system for the most compute-intensive workloads. Tachyum compared this system model with its Prodigy 4-socket system.  The comparison showed that Prodigy Racks deliver up to 12x higher AI performance and 8x higher HPC performance compared to Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72. A price comparison of the Nvidia GB200 versus Prodigy 4-socket reveals a 3x advantage for the Prodigy.  |
New White Papers |
Tachyum Solidifies Reliability, Availability and Serviceability of Prodigy Universal Processor |
Tachyum added to its extensive white paper library the publication of an overview examining its Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) strategy, including a detailed look at the key RAS features being built into Prodigy, the world’s first Universal Processor, which will help satisfy the demands of today’s data centers.  RAS is a set of related attributes that must be considered when designing, manufacturing, purchasing and utilizing a computer product or component. Designed from the ground up, Tachyum’s comprehensive RAS strategy encompasses multiple facets at the silicon, platform and system levels to ensure Prodigy deployments provide high performance along with high reliability and availability at all levels.
“A comprehensive approach to RAS becomes increasingly important as process shrinks drive higher density for components and platforms. In addition to the ever-increasing density, manufacturing chips on shrinking process nodes increases the risk of soft errors. Prodigy addresses these increased risks with a thorough approach to device and system reliability, ensuring that Prodigy-based systems function with maximum uptime to address the performance and demands of today’s data centers.” Dr. Radoslav Danilák |

Tachyum Has Disclosed 1U and 2U Server/HPC/AI Reference Designs |
Tachyum is bringing 1U and 2U platform solutions to market behind a strategy that ensures customers and partners will be able to quickly and easily test, benchmark and deploy Prodigy solutions across a broad range of supported applications and workloads.  Tachyum’s platform strategy includes offering evaluation platforms for early testing with OEMs and ODMs able to incorporate Prodigy into their own designs. The 2U evaluation platform, optimized to address the high-performance needs of HPC and Big AI, will be the first to sample in Q1 of 2025. The 1U platform, targeting applications such as AI inference and a wide range of cloud applications, follows in the second quarter. Tachyum has chosen Chenbro as the chassis partner for the Prodigy evaluation platforms. Chenbro’s standard chassis products provide solutions for both 1U and 2U that address Prodigy’s high-performance requirements, allowing Tachyum to focus on the device and motherboard development.
“We’re excited to partner with Tachyum. Our chassis solutions, coupled with Prodigy’s innovation, will drive new standards in AI and HPC.” Eric Hui, President of Chenbro |
