ZTE Unveils OEX Supernode and 800V HVDC

量子位 · wechat · 2026-07-18

At WAIC, ZTE showcased its OEX Supernode and AIDC Compute-Power Collaboration Solution, releasing a domestically produced high-performance Matrix supernode solution based on the OEX + dOCS architecture. This approach has been validated following Nvidia's GB200 NVL72 and is now being engineered and infrastructure-ready in China.

OEX Supernode

Features an orthogonal architecture, connecting compute trays and switch trays vertically within the cabinet
Zero cables, no backplane, shortening signal paths and reducing loss and latency
A single cabinet can house 128 GPUs, scaling up to 16384 GPUs
Through collaboration with multiple chip vendors, it supports the compatibility and combination of GPUs from different camps
By shifting development upfront and unifying engineering paradigms, the deployment cycle is compressed from over 1 year to less than half a year

Power and Cooling

Launched the 800V HVDC solution, expected to go commercial in September this year
Claims to reduce current by 50%80%, boosting end-to-end power supply efficiency from 94% to 98%
Intelligent computing micro-modules and liquid cooling support single-cabinet deployments of 250kW+, with PUE as low as 1.15
Cold plate liquid cooling capacity per cabinet can scale from 1500kW to 2400kW, supporting online coolant replacement
Uses AI-driven DCIM for predictive power and cooling optimization

Other Exhibits

The AI agent phone Nubia NaviX Ultra made its public debut, featuring "completing complex tasks across apps with a single sentence"
Demonstrated smart home tech, enterprise agent platforms, medical AI solutions, and a matrix of humanoid robots

Overall, the focus isn't on individual products but on ZTE's attempt to link computing, power, cooling, and end-user applications into a full-stack pipeline "from Bit to Token".
