March 20, 2025 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
At GTC 2025, Compal Electronics unveiled three new server platforms—SX420-2A, SX220-1N, and SX224-2A. All are built on NVIDIA MGX architecture and designed to inject powerful performance into enterprise-level AI, HPC, and high-load computing applications.
Discover Compal's flagship server, the SX420-2A and SX224-2A, powered by the industry-leading the NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Server Edition
The SX420-2A 4U AI Server, making its debut, is engineered on the NVIDIA MGX architecture and optimized for deep AI-HPC applications. It features a flexible rack design that supports both EIA 19 "and ORV3 21" configurations, and it can be configured with up to 8 RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs—significantly boosting data center compute performance and resource utilization.
The SX224-2A 2U AI Server, integrates NVIDIA MGX architecture with an AMD x86 platform, offering highly flexible configuration options. It is engineered for future compatibility and optimized for diverse computing workloads—whether AI-HPC or AI-Graphics—allowing for tailored performance adjustments.
RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell GPU delivers top-tier performance: equipped with 96GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory and featuring a passively cooled thermal design, it ensures stable operation under extreme loads, providing revolutionary acceleration for both agentic and physical AI, as well as for scientific computing, graphics, and video applications. Combining this exceptional GPU performance, the SX420-2A and SX224-2A are undoubtedly one of the most competitive solutions in the industry.
SX220-1N: Scalable AI/HPC and Future-Proof Flexible Computing Platforms
SX220-1N 2U AI Server is designed for giant-scale AI and HPC applications, featuring the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper™ Superchip and employing NVIDIA NVLink-C2C technology to deliver a coherent memory pool. This enables faster memory speeds and massive bandwidth to tackle large-scale computational tasks.
This comprehensive product lineup not only satisfies the rigorous requirements of diverse data center applications but also heralds a new era in enterprise computing technology. Industry professionals attending GTC 2025 are encouraged to visit Compal's booth (#1809) to explore its latest technological innovations in AI-HPC and high-performance computing.

Punching Out: How Are the Big Boys in Electronics Doing?
05/12/2026 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!Let’s see what the public companies are up to in the PCB and EMS industries. In North America, there are only a couple of publicly traded PCB companies: TTM Technologies and Firan Technology Group. On the EMS side, there are a few more: Flex, Jabil, Celestica, Sanmina,, Benchmark, Fabrinet, Kimball Electronics, Plexus Corp, Nortech Systems, and Key Tronic Corp. From an M&A standpoint, these public companies have been fairly quiet in the past five years. FTG completed two deals in 2022 (IMI and Holaday), Flex had three deals, Jabil had five deals, and Sanmina had one deal.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
05/08/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007This week, I’ve selected some outstanding interviews that you’ll want to take note of. First, is a roundtable discussion featuring three dynamic industry cybersecurity experts. Please watch this important discussion that affects us all. Following that, I spotlight the IPC-2581 Consortium, which explains why IPC-2581 is the standard to replace Gerber data for manufacturing. Next, I am including my interview with PCBAA and AAM, who collaborated to release a short documentary on U.S. PCB manufacturing.
A Necessary Shift From Gerber to IPC-2581
05/07/2026 | Tracy Riggan, Global Electronics AssociationIPC-2581 is an open, vendor-neutral data exchange standard developed by the Global Electronics Association to streamline the exchange of PCB design information across fabrication, assembly, and test. It replaces multiple legacy formats—including industry standards, Gerber, and ODB++—with a single, comprehensive, XML-based dataset that captures all manufacturing details.
