FULL STORY
======================================================================

The surge in demand for large-scale generative AI models has led to a 
significant increase in hardware requirements, making model training costly 
and inaccessible for many SMBs and educational establishments. 

High-performance custom PC builder Maingear has partnered with storage giant 
Phison on a new range of Maingear Pro AI workstations that boast powerful 
Intel Xeon W7-3455 CPUs. 

The new workstations can be configured with up to 1TB of DDR5 memory, and up 
to 4x RTX 5000 Ada or 4x RTX 6000 Ada GPUs. These GPUs are supported by 
Phison aiDAPTIV+ caching SSDs and software, to significantly lower the cost 
of LLM development and training. Off-the-shelf components 

Maingear Pro AI workstations fit in a standard desktop tower PC design so 
they can easily be stored under a desk, or placed anywhere in an office (a 4U 
rackmount chassis is also available). Maingear says these workstations have 
been designed with off-the-shelf components for easy upgrades and Noctua 
cooling components to manage heat and reduce noise when under load. 

Maingear founder and CEO, Wallace Santos, stated, "Our dedication to crafting 
highly capable yet budget-friendly solutions guarantees SMBs, universities, 
and research facilities a competitive advantage in an industry formerly 
restricted by multimillion-dollar investments."
