NVIDIA launches Rubin — six new chips and a next-generation AI supercomputer
NVIDIA introduced Rubin, the platform succeeding Blackwell, unveiling six new chips and a rack-scale Vera Rubin NVL72 system built for training and inference at frontier scale. The company said the major clouds — AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle — plus specialist providers like CoreWeave and Lambda will be among the first to deploy Rubin-based instances, with Microsoft slating it for its next-generation “Fairwater” AI data centers.
Why it matters: Rubin resets the ceiling on AI compute again and locks every major cloud into NVIDIA’s roadmap for another generation — the chip cycle, not the model, still sets the pace of the whole industry.
