NVIDIA is currently the world's most valuable company, and its wealth has largely been carried to the bank on the shoulders of AI datacenters powered by its GPUs. Refusing to slow down, NVIDIA unveiled a new Rubin supercomputing platform at CES 2026 consisting of six different chips, including a Vera CPU and a Rubin GPU.
The Rubin platform as a whole, as NVIDIA explains it, is ushering in a new "industrial" era of AI compute where costs are lower, and output is higher. Indeed, NVIDIA says the Rubin platform can offer 10x lower inference token costs while requiring 4x fewer GPUs when training mix-of-experts (MoE) models; that's compared to the current Blackwell generation of hardware found in so many cutting-edge datacenters around the world.
