Why this date is being tracked
Rubin is NVIDIA's next-generation data-center GPU architecture, succeeding Blackwell (launched March 2024) and named for astronomer Vera Rubin. The platform unveiled at CES 2026 pairs the Rubin GPU with NVIDIA's first general-purpose CPU, Vera, in the Vera Rubin compute platform; rack-scale systems (NVL144) and early-access shipments are scheduled for H2 2026. The headline Rubin GPU carries 288 GB of HBM4 memory at 22 TB/s of bandwidth — roughly 2.8x Blackwell's 8 TB/s — and reportedly delivers 50 PFLOPS of FP4 inference performance (2.5x Blackwell). Manufactured on TSMC's 3 nm process, Rubin precedes Rubin Ultra (2027) and Feynman (2028) on the company's now-annual data-center roadmap. NVIDIA's data-center segment posted $115.2 billion in FY2025 revenue per the 10-K, making Rubin the most commercially significant product launch in the AI-infrastructure cycle.
