【#Tech24H】On March 16, NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang officially unveiled the Vera Rubin AI acceleration platform at the GTC 2026 conference. The platform is built on TSMC's 3nm process and integrates 336 billion transistors, an increase of over 60% over the previous-generation Blackwell, which featured 208 billion transistors. Rubin is not a single chip, but a six-chip collaborative platform carefully designed by NVIDIA. The Vera Rubin superchip packages one Vera CPU and two Rubin GPUs into a single processor. The remaining four chips—the NVLink 6 switch, ConnectX-9 super NIC, BlueField-4 DPU, and Spectrum-6 Ethernet switch—work together to form the complete AI factory infrastructure. NVIDIA expects the Rubin Ultra to enter mass production and ship in the second half of 2027.
