Results announced ahead of Supercomputing 2025
Core42, a G42 company specializing in sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure, announced that its Maximus-01 supercomputer has been ranked No. 20 globally on the TOP500 List, the industry’s most recognized benchmark for publicly known supercomputing systems.
The ranking highlights the performance of the AMD Instinct MI300X GPU-based “Maximus” cluster, operated at the company’s facility in Buffalo, New York and released ahead of Supercomputing 2025, the leading global conference for HPC.
The TOP500 list tracks performance trends across the global supercomputing systems using the High Performance Linpack benchmark (HPL), benchmark. Securing a Top 20 position reflects exceptional engineering across compute, memory, storage, and networking, and validates the cluster’s ability to support large-scale AI and HPC workloads under sustained production conditions.
Strategic collaboration
Through G42’s strategic collaboration with AMD, Core42’s Buffalo deployment features more than 9,000 AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs configured for large-scale AI training and inference. Delivered globally via the Core42 AI Cloud, the cluster provides organizations with access to advanced GPU capacity supported by unified orchestration, strong security controls, and comprehensive data management.
The Core42 Maximus-01 cluster provides organizations with access to advanced GPU capacity supported by unified orchestration, enterprise-grade security, and comprehensive data-management controls. Its placement on the TOP500 List represents an important milestone for the Core42 AI Cloud and reinforces the company’s ability to operate enterprise-grade, high-performance environments on a global scale.
“This ranking marks a new milestone in our mission to support the world’s most demanding workloads. Our expanding grid of AI infrastructure spans sovereign clusters and international supercomputing deployments, creating a global backbone built for ultra-low latency and regulatory compliance,” explained Edmondo Orlotti, Chief Growth Officer, Core42.
