> SambaNova says the SN50 can handle models with up to 10 trillion parameters. SN50 systems are set to ship in the second half of 2026.

SambaNova Systems and Super Micro Computer plan to develop AI inference systems using 10,000 SN50 processors, outlining a large hardware project without a disclosed deployment schedule.

The SN50 is the latest generation of SambaNova’s Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU), a custom AI processor. SambaNova introduced it in February 2026 for inference, the stage in which trained models generate outputs. SambaNova says the chip can handle models with up to 10 trillion parameters.

SambaNova says the SN50 delivers up to five times the speed and up to three times lower total cost of ownership compared with Nvidia’s B200 GPUs.

SambaRack SN50 systems typically hold eight to 16 RDUs per rack. At that density, 10,000 chips would amount to about 625 to 1,250 racks, a rough calculation rather than a disclosed build plan.

Shipments of SN50 systems are planned for the second half of 2026. The companies have not announced a schedule for the joint project.
