NVIDIA Watch posted an update
Nvidia says its next-generation Vera Rubin systems will deliver ten times the performance per watt of Blackwell, and that it has started shipping them to customers, The Motley Fool reports.
Why it mattersThe article says Vera Rubin systems will use twice as much power as Blackwell. Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang, has put the platform’s potential revenue at about $40 billion per gigawatt, up from $25 billion for Grace Blackwell. That makes the efficiency claim more useful than the headline revenue comparison: the practical test is how much AI computing customers get from the extra power and cost. The figures are Nvidia’s claims, as reported by The Motley Fool, not independent benchmark results.
Discuss: Would a tenfold performance-per-watt gain justify systems using twice the power, or should buyers wait for independent benchmarks?
