At the NVIDIA GTC conference in Washington, D.C., NVIDIA introduced the BlueField-4 data processing unit DPU, marking a major leap forward in AI infrastructure designed to meet the surging demand for trillion-token workloads and massive-scale computing.
BlueField-4 forms part of NVIDIA's full-stack BlueField platform, purpose-built to accelerate gigascale AI data centers. The new DPU delivers up to 800 Gb/s of throughput, offering substantial computing performance gains and enabling AI factories up to four times larger than those supported by its predecessor, BlueField-3.
At its core, BlueField-4 integrates an NVIDIA Grace CPU and NVIDIA ConnectX-9 networking, providing six times more compute power and setting a new benchmark for high-performance, energy-efficient data processing. It delivers software-defined acceleration across AI data storage, networking, and security, transforming data centers into intelligent, secure, and fully automated AI infrastructures.
