To address substantial throughput improvements, the PowerEdge R750xa server supports PCIe Gen 4 and up to eight SAS/SATA SSD or NVMe drives. As a server that supports a wide variety of PCIe GPUs in the PowerEdge portfolio, the PowerEdge R750xa server is an ideal server for emerging workloads including deep learning training and inferencing.

The inference performance results include a wide variety of use cases and tasks including image classification, object detection, medical image segmentation, speech to text, language processing, and recommendation. Dell Technologies submitted these performance results to the MLCommons™ Consortium as a part of third round (v1.0) of MLPerf TM Inference data center closed official benchmarks.
