NVIDIA "Rubin" Platform Enters Trial Production at TSMC, CEO Jensen Hu
NVIDIA confirmed today that it has taped out six distinct "Rubin" chips, which signals something more than a typical product refresh. Company CEO Jensen Huang, speaking during a visit to Taiwan, said NVIDIA already handed multiple Rubin designs to TSMC and that those dies are now entering fab qualification ahead of trial production. Rubin is intended to be a platform-level upgrade, rather than a simple GPU update, with changes extending across processors, networking gear, and interconnect silicon. Customers and cloud operators will be watching closely as NVIDIA prepares what it describes as the next major compute platform. According to Jensen, the taped designs include a dedicated CPU, new GPU variants, a scale-up NVLink switch, and a silicon photonics processor aimed at improving rack-scale connectivity and off-chip optics.
Rubin will adopt chiplet partitioning for the first time in NVIDIA's product line and is planned for TSMC's N3P process with CoWoS-L packaging. Memory is expected to transition to next-generation HBM4 stacks to sustain higher bandwidth, featuring a custom base die. The physical compute die layout will utilize a larger reticle area compared to the current generation. NVIDIA says it is coordinating hardware changes with software updates, including compiler and runtime improvements that will leverage the new topology. The company projects market introductions around 2026 for Rubin and 2027 for Rubin Ultra, depending on trial production and yields. Early validation is already underway, covering thermal, power, and interconnect scenarios. The Rubin transition from Blackwell is shaping up to be a big step, and in the new generation of [Only registered and activated users can see links.

NVIDIA at Hot Chips 2025 Pushes Blackwell to Power Neural Rendering
NVIDIA's Hot Chips 2025 appearance on the graphics track was less about new silicon and more about a change in emphasis. Blackwell is being presented as a platform that makes machine learning a natural part of rendering rather than an add-on. The company showed how the architecture stretches from big datacenter cards all the way down to laptop GPUs and explained why that range matters. Instead of relying on brute-force raster work, the focus is on neural approaches, such as denoising and learned frame generation, that can reproduce or enhance pixels at far lower cost. To support that shift, NVIDIA is moving toward FP4 math to shrink memory and compute footprints, and it has invested in scheduler improvements like shader execution reordering and heavy integer work so streaming multiprocessors stay busy. The talk also showed an on-chip AI management processor that coordinates data and priorities so graphics shaders and inference kernels do not block one another.
The practical plumbing behind these concepts mattered as much as the models. Blackwell's GDDR7 support delivers more usable bandwidth at lower voltages, which helps both traditional rendering passes and large tensor jobs. NVIDIA described techniques to shorten the time to first token in mixed workloads so interactive agents and graphics can meet different latency needs. The company pushed the idea of a "race to idle," where a system uses learned interpolation or selective inference in place of a full render to save power. Finally, features borrowed from the datacenter world, such as Universal MIG, let a single GPU be split into many smaller virtual GPUs, improving utilization for light clients and yielding sizable gains over simple time slicing. The net message was clear: Blackwell is not just about adding TeraFLOPS. It is about rethinking scheduling and blending ML with graphics to make real-time, efficient experiences practical. Neural rendering is where the graphics world is headed, and NVIDIA wants to accelerate every stage of the pipeline.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Today, IBM and AMD announced plans to develop next-generation computing architectures based on the combination of quantum computers and high-performance computing, known as quantum-centric supercomputing. AMD and IBM are collaborating to develop scalable, open-source platforms that could redefine the future of computing, leveraging IBM's leadership in developing the world's most performant quantum computers and software, and AMD's leadership in high-performance computing and AI accelerators.
Quantum computing is a completely different way to represent and process information. While classical computers use bits that can only be either a zero or one, quantum computers' qubits represent information according to the quantum mechanical laws of nature. These properties enable a much richer computational space to explore solutions to complex problems beyond the reach of classical computing alone, including in fields such as drug discovery, materials discovery, optimization, and logistics.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Huawei's KunPeng 930 is an 80-Core CPU made on TSMC N5
Huawei's newest data center CPU, the KunPeng 930, underwent an analysis and teardown thanks to a creator named Kurnal on YouTube and BiliBili. The package is large, roughly 77.5 mm by 58.0 mm, and combines dense compute tiles manufactured at TSMC's 5 nm node with a sizable I/O die produced at SMIC on a more mature process, a possible 14 nm node. That hybrid split lets Huawei chase SRAM density and core scaling where it matters while shifting I/O and routing to a foundry that can absorb volume and ease supply pressure. Each compute tile contains forty Arm-derived cores tuned as the Taishan family, and the platform can be configured to reach a maximum of 80 cores in dual-die SKUs. The I/O die offers broad connectivity, as evidenced by teardown images that reveal a platform designed for 96 PCIe lanes.
At the component level, the KunPeng 930 shows cache and memory density have been a priority. Inside the compute tiles, there is a pair of private 2 MB L2 caches per core, with approximately 91 MB of shared L3 cache on the same die, representing a significant increase over the previous generation. DDR5 memory controllers are present on these compute tiles, and Huawei's diagrams indicate that there are 12 memory channels per chiplet, resulting in a total of 24 channels per processor. The photographed board shows sixteen DIMM sockets, which implies that not every theoretical memory channel is routed. The processor advertises up to 96 PCIe lanes, although the board only exposes about 80, reflecting routing and cost trade-offs. An SMIC-made I/O die would ease volume production but raise the need for firmware and software tuning to extract peak performance, so we are yet to see how these chips perform in server-centric benchmarks.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
