The world's most powerful desktop PC features 256 EPYC Genoa cores, 6TB of RAM, and is priced at just $120,000, although you'll need to provide your own version of Windows 11 Pro for Workstations.

The Titan 900 is capable of facing any challenge you throw at it.

The Titan A900 may look like a standard desktop computer at first glance, but it is actually a powerful workstation specifically designed for deep learning and artificial intelligence applications. This machine from Titan Computers is built around the AMD EPYC Genoa 9004 series, which includes two EPYC Genoa 9124 processors, each with 32 cores, totaling 64 cores in the base configuration. For those requiring even more computing power, there is an option to customize the processor choice, allowing for up to 256 cores.

The workstation's design is housed in a Titan Chariot mid-tower case, crafted from anodized aluminum and steel, providing durability along with visual appeal. It comes standard with 64 GB of DDR5 ECC RAM, though it can be expanded to an impressive total of 6 TB, making it highly versatile for applications that require intensive memory usage.

In terms of storage, it features a 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD, offering fast read and write speeds, as well as a 4 TB Seagate Enterprise hard drive for additional storage needs. If more capacity is required, there are options to increase the total storage with 8 TB SSDs and 20 TB HDDs.

For graphics, the standard configuration includes a 4 GB GDDR6 Nvidia Quadro T400 graphics card, suitable for general-purpose applications. However, the Titan A900 can be customized with a variety of more powerful GPUs, including liquid-cooled options.

Cooling efficiency is essential for the performance expected from this workstation, so the A900 is equipped with two SilverStone Technology CPU coolers, Antec Nano Diamond thermal paste, and five silent high-performance fans. Again, the system can be adjusted according to user needs.

The A900's connections include two RJ45 10GbE LAN ports, four USB ports, and a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port on the front, though it is possible to add more ports if desired. Wireless connectivity is ensured through Intel 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The price of the base configuration hovers around $8,000, but if opting for high-end CPUs and RAM, costs can soar to $120,000. Additionally, extra features such as a copy of Windows 11 Pro for Workstations will further increase the total.
