BlockBeats News, January 6 — NVIDIA (NVDA.O) announced that its highly anticipated new “Rubin” data center product will be launched later this year. Customers will be able to test the technology, helping to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence. NVIDIA stated that all six Rubin chips have been delivered from manufacturing partners and have passed several key tests, indicating that customer deployment is proceeding as planned. Its latest Rubin accelerator offers a 3.5x improvement in training performance over the previous Blackwell generation and a 5x increase in speed for running AI software. The company emphasized that systems based on Rubin will have lower operating costs than those based on Blackwell, as they require fewer components to achieve the same performance. It is reported that Microsoft and other major remote computing service providers will be among the first to adopt this new hardware in the second half of the year. (Jin10)
