Notes

  • Developer Kit: Its 200GbE comes from the ConnectX-7 adapter, which has two QSFP112 ports. nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“ConnectX-7 (2x QSFP112 200GbE)”
  • Mini: It has one QSFP28 port that runs as 4x25GbE, so its fastest single link is 25GbE. It also has a 5GbE RJ45 port. nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“QSFP28 4x25GbE, 5GbE RJ45”
  • Mini height: The 56.88 mm figure includes the feet, carrier board, module and thermal solution. nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“height includes feet, carrier board, module and thermal solution”
  • Size difference: The two kits are close in length. The full Developer Kit is about 3.4 times wider and 2.7 times taller than the Mini (I calculated these ratios from the dimensions above).

The full specs are in the IGX Thor Developer Kit datasheet and the IGX Thor Developer Kit Mini datasheet.
