"At CES this week, Odinn is showcasing its Omnia system that combines AMD EPYC 9965 CPUs with up to four Nvidia H200 NVL GPUs and 6 TB of memory, all in a single enclosure with a 23.8-inch display - and carry handles. This it describes as 'roughly the size of a carry-on suitcase,' though we wouldn't like to try lifting a 77 pound weight up to an overhead locker and wedging it in, and we doubt there are many airlines that would let you."
"But Odinn isn't pitching Omnia as a portable PC or even a mobile workstation. Instead, it styles the system as a portable datacenter. 'As the laptop freed the desktop, Omnia frees the datacenter,' its website proclaims. This is pushing things a bit far, as most datacenters have hundreds, if not thousands, of servers in them, and any single AI server is likely to have double the maximum number of GPUs that the Omnia can have fitted."
Omnia is a compact, transportable enclosure that integrates AMD EPYC 9965 CPUs with up to four Nvidia H200 NVL GPUs and 6 TB of memory in a single chassis with a 23.8-inch display and carry handles. The unit weighs about 35 kg and is described as roughly the size of a carry-on suitcase, though airline carriage and overhead storage are impractical. The design includes server-grade cooling and redundant Platinum-rated PSUs. Configurations include AI, Creator, Search, and Omnia X for higher performance. Target uses include edge inferencing, mobile postproduction, military AI deployments, and enterprise simulations. Multiple units can be clustered into larger GPU racks. Pricing is expected to be high.
