Dell expands AI Factory with NVIDIA, adds PowerEdge R8822 server and disaggregation racks

Dell Technologies announced a three‑tier expansion of its AI Factory in partnership with NVIDIA at the GTC Berlin conference. The rollout includes the PowerEdge R8822, an air‑cooled 2U server shipping in October 2026 that brings NVIDIA’s Vera CPU to standard data‑center racks, a 256‑CPU disaggregation rack called PowerEdge M9882 slated for Q1 2027 with 22,528 cores, and the PowerEdge XE9810,…

Key points

  • Dell AI Factory reached 6,500 customers by August 2026, up from 5,000 the prior quarter.
  • PowerEdge R8822 ships October 2026; M9882 and XE9810 rack‑scale systems are slated for Q1 2027.
  • Dell’s Signal65/Futurum analysis claims the AI Factory can be up to 90 % cheaper than public cloud over two years.

Dell says the AI Factory now serves 6,500 customers, up from 5,000 the prior quarter, and cites Omdia research that agentic AI will become the largest enterprise workload by 2028, driving token consumption 24 times current levels while inference costs fall more than 90 percent by 2030. NVIDIA’s Ian Buck claimed the combined Groq LPU and Vera GPU architecture could deliver 35 times higher throughput per megawatt and ten‑fold revenue opportunity for operators. A Signal65 and Futurum Group analysis commissioned by Dell estimates the AI Factory can be up to 90 percent cheaper than public‑cloud alternatives over two years, though the study’s methodology favors Dell’s typical deployments.
