The Latest Breaking News from Rubin

Rumors claim that Nvidia will be launching its next-generation RTX 60 series graphics cards in 2H 2027 and building its next-gen GPUs on the Rubin architecture.

During his CES 2026 keynote, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduced Vera Rubin NVL72, the company’s next-generation rack-scale AI accelerator. Rubin promises 5x greater inference performance and 10x lower cost per token than the last-gen Grace Blackwell NVL72 rack.

Nvidia has introduced Rubin CPX, a specialized GPU designed to accelerate compute-heavy context phase of long-context inference in large AI models, enabling more efficient handling of million-token workloads by offloading this task from 'Big' GPUs with HBM memory to smaller GPUs with GDDR7 memory.

Nvidia announced its Rubin CPX GPU earlier this week where it was presented as one whole of a two-part AI inferencing solution. However, a closer look at its silicon shows that it has graphics-specific hardware blocks that are not needed on AI GPU. Could we be looking at a potential…
