NVIDIA launched the NVIDIA Rubin platform, comprising six new chips designed to deliver one AI supercomputer. The Rubin platform uses extreme codesign across the six chips — the NVIDIA Vera CPU, NVIDIA Rubin GPU, NVIDIA NVLink 6 Switch, NVIDIA ConnectX-9 SuperNIC, NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU, and NVIDIA Spectrum-6 Ethernet Switch — to slash training time and inference token costs.

Named for Vera Florence Cooper Rubin, the American astronomer whose discoveries transformed humanity’s understanding of the universe, the Rubin platform features the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale solution and the NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8 system. Additionally, the Rubin platform introduces five innovations, including the latest generations of NVIDIA NVLink interconnect technology, Transformer Engine, Confidential Computing and RAS Engine, as well as the NVIDIA Vera CPU.
