At Computex 2024, NVIDIA announced a new Vera Rubin GPU architecture that will replace the previous generation Blackwell architecture. The new chips are expected to use HBM4 memory and support higher data transfer rates via NVLink 6 and CX9 SuperNIC interfaces.
Rubin Architecture
New Line of GPUs
NVIDIA introduced a new Vera Rubin GPU architecture at Computex 2024. This the platform will be the successor to the current generation of Blackwell chips and will use more modern and faster HBM4 memory. NVIDIA's presentation initially focused on artificial intelligence, but later focused on updating data center architecture.
Vera Rubin Features
According to NVIDIA, Rubin GPUs will be equipped with 8 memory stacks HBM4, and the more powerful Rubin Ultra version will receive 12 HBM4 stacks. In addition, the company plans to release a new Vera Rubin board with the Vera processor (VR200), which is a super chip that combines GPU and CPU. This platform will support high-speed NVLink 6 connections up to 3600 GB/s and CX9 SuperNIC network connections up to 1600 Gbit/s.
Blackwell update
In addition to the new Rubin architecture, NVIDIA also announced the Blackwell Ultra chip, as well known as the GB200 GPU. It will support 12 HBM3E memory stacks, increasing the supported memory capacity to 244GB, up from 192GB on previous models. While consumer graphics cards based on the Blackwell architecture have not been announced, the B100 and B200 models are expected to launch this year.
Release Timeline
According to NVIDIA, the Rubin architecture is scheduled to debut in early 2026. According to the company's new annual cycle, Rubin Ultra chips will appear in 2027. Information about consumer graphics cards based on Rubin has not yet been disclosed.

It's amazing how quickly technology develops. 🚀 I remember when I first started learning about computers, GPUs were very simple. Now they are becoming so powerful that they can combine GPU and CPU into one super chip!
Бьянка
I hope that NVIDIA will also pay attention to the energy efficiency of new architectures. 🌱 The more powerful the equipment, the more energy it consumes, and this is important from a sustainability and environmental point of view.
Клаус
Ha, all these new trends are just funny! 👴 In my time, we were content with much less opportunities, and we liked it. Who needs such speeds and performance? Why does the average user need so much power?
Софи
Klaus, you just can't imagine the possibilities that will open up with such advanced technology! 🤯 More realistic graphics in games, faster calculations for science and medicine, more advanced artificial intelligence systems. This is truly revolutionary!
Марко
As a video production professional, I'm looking forward to using the new NVIDIA chips for video rendering and processing. 🎥 Can you imagine how much faster and better it will be possible to work with 4K and 8K materials?
Наталья
I'm very interested in how new architectures will impact the gaming industry. 🎮 Thanks to more powerful graphics and artificial intelligence capabilities, games will become even more realistic and exciting. Can't wait to try them out!
