Rubin will be followed by Rubin Ultra in the second half of 2027, a collection Vera Rubin GPUs, Huang said. Around the same time, Nvidia will release a Rubin Next chip that combines four GPU dies to make a single chip, doubling Rubin’s speed.

Nvidia will also offer a single rack called the GB300 NVL72 that offers 1.1 exaflops of FP4, 20TB of HBM memory, 40TB of “fast memory,” 130TB/sec of NVLink bandwidth and 14.4 TB/sec networking.

The centerpiece announcement was Vera Rubin, first announced at Computex 2024 and now scheduled for release in the second half of 2026. This GPU, named after a famous astronomer, will feature tens of terabytes of memory and comes with a custom Nvidia-designed CPU called Vera.
