TAIPEI (Reuters) – Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said on Sunday that the company’s next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) chip platform is called Rubin and would be launched in 2026.
The Rubin family of chips will include new graphics (GPU) and central processors (CPU), as well as networking chips, Huang said at National Taiwan University in Taipei as part of the Computex trade show.
However, Huang offered few details.
The new CPU will be called Versa and the new graphics chips used to power AI applications will include next-generation high-bandwidth memory made by companies including SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung.
Huang said the company now plans to release a new family of AI chips every year, accelerating its previous release schedule of roughly every two years.
Dominating around 80% of the AI chip market, Nvidia occupies a unique position as both the largest enabler and beneficiary of the growing development of AI.
