If you’re remotely interested in AI or even if you’re just casually tracking tech developments, you’ve probably noticed Nvidia popping up everywhere. Well, they just dropped another game-changer: meet the Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin AI chips.
What’s New with Nvidia?
At their recent GPU Technology Conference (GTC 2025), Nvidia announced two groundbreaking AI chips designed to push the limits of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
1. Blackwell Ultra GB300
• Launch Date: Late 2025
• Performance: 20 petaflops (that’s 20 quadrillion operations per second!)
• Memory: A massive 288GB of HBM3e memory, a significant leap from previous versions.
This kind of power means faster training of complex AI models, leading to breakthroughs in everything from medical diagnostics to autonomous driving.
2. Vera Rubin Chips
• Launch Timeline: Second half of 2026 (standard version), 2027 (Ultra version)
• Performance: Up to 50 petaflops per chip, thanks to a dual-GPU design.
• Custom CPU Integration: The new “Vera” CPU offers twice the performance of Nvidia’s previous Grace chips.
Named after the astronomer Vera Rubin, who transformed our understanding of dark matter, these chips promise equally transformative impacts on AI.
