NVIDIA has announced the upcoming launch of its new "Rubin" data center product, expected later this year. The Rubin chip, which has successfully passed key tests, promises to enhance AI development by offering 3.5 times better training performance and running AI software 5 times faster than its predecessor, Blackwell. NVIDIA highlights that Rubin-based systems will have lower operating costs due to reduced component requirements. Major cloud providers, including Microsoft, are set to adopt the Rubin hardware in the second half of the year.
