GIGABYTE has announced the GIGABYTE AI TOP 100 B850, a high-performance desktop system built to bring workstation-class AI compute directly to the deskside, aimed at developers, researchers, and businesses. The system is designed to reduce reliance on cloud services and token-based infrastructure by enabling demanding AI workloads to run entirely on-premise.

At the core of the system is an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor with 16 cores and 32 threads – it is paired with 128 GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, providing the capacity and throughput needed for large parameter models. Both configurations are built on standard desktop components, with dual PCIe 5.0 slots supporting future GPU upgrades.
Speaking of which, the system is offered in two GPU configurations: the first uses a single NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, which achieves inference speeds of up to 64.9 tokens per second when running a 32-billion-parameter model; alternatively, dual AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPUs with a combined 64GB of VRAM (32GB per card) supports inference with models of up to 235 billion parameters and fine-tuning with models of up to 110 billion parameters.
The AI TOP 100 B850 uses a purpose-built AI TOP motherboard combined with liquid CPU cooling and a high-airflow chassis design to manage heat across extended compute cycles. A 1600W 80 PLUS Platinum power supply provides stable power delivery under sustained heavy loads, with headroom for future hardware additions, such as dual RTX 6000 PRO Blackwell setups (which guzzles 1200 watts of power in total, mind you).
Networking is handled by dual 10GbE LAN ports, complemented by Wi-Fi 7 for added flexibility. The system also includes USB 20Gbps Type-C connectivity. GIGABYTE bundles the system with its AI TOP Utility software, which provides real-time system monitoring, memory offloading, and dataset creation tools in a single interface; both Windows 11 Pro and Linux-based operating systems are supported.
Pokdepinion: Change a few badges here and there and it’ll probably work as a gaming PC. A very expensive one, at least.
