Track; not yet
- Why
- It is genuinely in volume production with strong, specific numbers, but the value is locked to Gen6 / AI-data-center host availability and (for densest configs) liquid-cooled environments — not broadly adoptable until those platforms are in place.
- Next
- Sample the 9650 only when standing up Gen6 host platforms; benchmark GPU-direct read throughput and perf/watt against incumbent Gen5 (e.g., 9550) on the actual target servers before fleet commitment.
