HPE confirms Nvidia will offer a Rubin PCIe GPU
According to a presentation HPE shared with The Next Platform and other outlets, HPE has confirmed that its ProLiant DL585a Gen13 server supports an Nvidia Rubin PCIe GPU. The existing Rubin GPU is a data-center part in the SMX form factor drawing up to 2300W, so the report says using that version in a PCIe card would require at least halving the GPU's scale and sharply reducing clocks; the PCIe part could instead sit in the RTX PRO line using the rumored GR202 die. The DL585a Gen13 is a 10U system with two AMD EPYC 9006 processors, support for eight dual-width or 16 single-width expansion cards, and 16 EDSFF E3.S (Thin) drive bays.
A PCIe Rubin option would let enterprises add next-generation AI acceleration through standard add-in cards rather than committing to SMX-class systems.
