Nvidia (NVDA.O) announced that its highly anticipated new "Rubin" data center products will be available this year, allowing customers to try the technology and accelerate the development of artificial intelligence. Nvidia stated that all six Rubin chips have been shipped from manufacturing partners and passed several key tests, indicating that it is progressing with customer deployments as planned. Its latest Rubin accelerator offers 3.5 times the training performance of its predecessor, Blackwell, and 5 times the speed of running AI software.
The company emphasizes that Rubin-based systems will have lower operating costs than Blackwell-based systems because they achieve the same performance using fewer components. It is understood that Microsoft and other large remote computing service providers will be among the first to adopt this new hardware in the second half of this year. (Source: BlockBeats)
