Dell Technologies and Intel have combined forces to provide an accelerated server infrastructure that drives the high-performance AI results your customers are in the market for. Dell Technologies’ PowerEdge XE9680 server is built for flexibility and performance, supporting a wide range of AI accelerators from multiple vendors to meet diverse customer needs. Whether your clients prioritize choice, scalability, or specific silicon architectures, the XE9680 delivers uncompromised AI capabilities across the board. In this blog, we’ll focus on the powerful combination of Dell Technologies and Intel—showcasing how the XE9680, paired with Intel® Gaudi® 3 AI accelerators, offers an efficient, open, and trusted solution for today’s most demanding AI workloads.
It's one thing say it. It’s another thing to deliver it. So how does Dell Technologies empower their partners in unique and compelling ways with this solution? Here are a few:
Competitive Differentiation. Partners can offer a high-performance, cost-effective alternative to traditional GPU-based AI servers, thereby appealing directly to budget-conscious enterprise customers.
Lower TCO. By leveraging standard Ethernet protocols partners can reduce infrastructure costs and simplify integration for clients since this obviates the need for proprietary networking.
Broader Market Reach. The affordability and scalability of the XE9680 with Gaudi 3 make this solution accessible to a wider range of customers - specifically those limited by the cost or complexity of other earlier solutions.
Faster Time-to-Value. With superior training and inference speeds, partners can help customers accelerate AI development and deployment timelines.
Early Adopter Advantage. This solution positions partners as early adopters of next-gen AI infrastructure, thereby establishing and reinforcing their credibility as a trusted advisor in the AI space.
And this is not all. Taking a quick peek at some of the technical advantages the Dell PowerEdge XE9680 server offers reveals a veritable powerhouse of efficiency and performance:
Increased Speed. Intel Gaudi 3 delivers up to 1.7x faster training and 1.5x faster inference performance compared to leading competitors.
Cost Efficiency. The solution offers up to 1.8x better compute performance at approximately two-thirds the cost of competing solutions.
Scalable Networking. Built-in RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) enables flexible, scalable AI networking without requiring proprietary hardware.
Open Ecosystem. This system supports standard Ethernet infrastructure, thus reducing setup complexity and vendor lock-in.
The bottom line is the Dell PowerEdge XE9680 server, integrated with the Intel Gaudi 3 AI accelerator, is purpose-built to meet the growing demands of large-scale AI workloads. This makes it the ideal choice for enterprises and partners looking to scale AI infrastructure affordably and sustainably.
