At Computex 2024, NVIDIA announced a new architecture of graphic processors called Vera Rubin. What started as a presentation about artificial intelligence changed when NVIDIA revealed the update of data processing center chips architecture.
The new NVIDIA architecture will utilize a newer HBM4 memory. The company announced that the Rubin graphic processor will have 8 stacks of HBM4 memory, with plans for the release of Rubin Ultra chips with 12 stacks of HBM4 in the future.
In addition, NVIDIA plans to introduce successors to the superchips Grace Hopper and Grace Blackwell in the form of a new Vera Rubin board with the Vera processor (VR200), which combines GPU and CPU into a superchip. NVIDIA has not yet revealed many specifications and details, but it is known that the platform will support new NVLink 6 connections with speeds up to 3600 GB/s, and CX9 SuperNIC network connections up to 1600 Gbit/s.
NVIDIA also announced the Blackwell Ultra chip, also known as the GB200 graphic processor with support for 12 stacks of HBM3E memory, increasing the supported memory from 192 GB to 244 GB. No information was provided regarding video cards on the Blackwell architecture, but it is expected that the B100 and B200 models will be released this year.
NVIDIA announced that the debut of Rubin is planned for early 2026. According to NVIDIA's new one-year cycle, Rubin Ultra chips will appear in 2027. No information has been provided about video cards for users yet.
