Overview
Product overview
The NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC (C8180) represents a generational leap in AI fabric acceleration. Supporting up to 800 gigabits per second (Gb/s) over InfiniBand or Ethernet, this adapter eliminates network bottlenecks in large-scale GPU clusters. With native PCIe Gen6 (up to 48 lanes) and advanced features such as NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA, SHARP in-network computing, and programmable congestion control, the ConnectX-8 ensures maximum throughput and lowest latency for training, inference, and data-intensive HPC workloads. Its power-efficient design aligns with sustainable AI data center goals while enabling scaling beyond hundreds of thousands of GPUs. 800Gb/s total bandwidth – supports 800/400/200/100 Gb/s InfiniBand speeds and 400/200/100/50/25 Gb/s Ethernet. PCIe Gen6 host interface – up to 48 lanes, low overhead, and Multi-Host support for up to four hosts.
