Razer, a hardware manufacturer, has announced an expansion of its product offerings into artificial intelligence (AI) development hardware. This includes the launch of a new workstation and the re-categorization of existing products.
Razer Forge AI Dev Workstation
The company has introduced the Razer Forge AI dev workstation, designed to handle AI training, inference, and simulation workloads. The workstation features a rack-ready design to facilitate configuration into dense cluster setups. Key specifications include:
- Support for up to four AMD or Nvidia graphics cards
- Eight DDR5 slots
- An AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro processor
- Compatibility with up to a 2,000W power supply
- Dual 10GB Ethernet ports for data transfer
Razer has not released specific pricing or availability information for the Forge AI dev workstation, indicating it will be a bespoke product available through direct contact with their sales team.
Product Re-categorization
Additionally, Razer is now categorizing its Blade 18 laptop and Core X V2 eGPU enclosure under the 'AI dev hardware' label. This strategic alignment reflects a broader industry trend, as evidenced by Nvidia's introduction of its Digits personal AI supercomputer at CES last year, signifying an increasing focus on AI-specific hardware solutions by various manufacturers.
