May 19 (Reuters) - Dell Technologies ( DELL ) on Monday

unveiled new servers powered by Nvidia's ( NVDA ) Blackwell

Ultra chips, aiming to capitalize on the booming demand for

artificial intelligence systems.

The servers, available in both air-cooled and liquid-cooled

variations, support up to 192 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra chips but

can be customized to include as many as 256 chips.

These servers can train AI models up to four times faster

than previous models, Dell said.

The pricing of these products will be "competitive," Arthur

Lewis, President of Dell's Infrastructure Solutions Group, told

Reuters, adding that "there's a lot of interest on what's next."

Dell and Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ) have benefited from

the growing demand for servers designed to handle the

computer-heavy AI tasks, but the high cost of producing the

systems and tough competition have pressured their margins.

Dell in February forecast a decline in adjusted gross margin

rate for fiscal 2026, while Super Micro projected fourth-quarter

revenue below estimates earlier this month as tariff-driven

economic uncertainty pressures its performance.

Dell will focus on increasing sales of networking and

storage products to ensure the "right level of profitability,"

Lewis said.

The company's new servers will also support Nvidia's ( NVDA )

upcoming Vera central processing units, which will succeed the

chip designer's Grace server processor.

The AI server maker plans to support Nvidia's ( NVDA ) Vera Rubin

chips, set to follow the Blackwell series.

Dell also introduced a 'Pro Max Plus' laptop designed for AI

development on Monday, featuring a neural processing unit that

allows engineers to process large AI models directly on the

device without relying on cloud services.
