On October 29, 2025, during the GTC 2025 conference in Washington, NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, took the stage to introduce the cutting-edge Vera Rubin superchip for the very first time. The superchip's motherboard is a marvel of integration, housing one Vera CPU alongside two Rubin GPUs. It comes fully equipped with 32 LPDDR memory slots, and in the GPU department, it leverages the high-performance HBM4 high-bandwidth memory. The Vera CPU itself is a powerhouse, boasting 88 custom cores based on the Arm architecture, and it can handle up to an impressive 176 threads simultaneously. The Rubin GPU is currently in the laboratory testing phase, with expectations for mass production to commence in either the third or fourth quarter of 2026. The Vera Rubin NVL144 platform is no slouch either, delivering a staggering computing power of 3.6 Exaflops for FP4 inference and 1.2 Exaflops for FP8 training. This represents a significant leap, roughly a 3.3-fold increase, over its predecessor. Looking ahead, NVIDIA has also outlined plans to roll out the even more advanced Rubin Ultra NVL576 platform in 2027.
