Just recently, people were saying Jensen has delayed tape out of Rubin to next year because of a future AMD release (the midgen update after MI400)

Edit: But that doesn't seem to be the case. Not that it is surprising. Mid Gen update from Nvidia will fight and win/lose against mid Gen update of AMD.

I imagine this comment was specifically to address those rumors (without saying anything outright). AFAIK, Nvidia is much less forthcoming with engineering milestones compared to Intel, or to a lesser extent, AMD.

Which was interesting, but then again 2H of next year is kinda to be expected with Nvidia's usual release cadence.

I do wonder what separates Rubin and Blackwell architecturally, I suppose Rubin mostly is Blackwell+ but on a new node.

I suppose Rubin mostly is Blackwell+

What makes you say this? Have Nvidia released any information that would indicate this or are you just guessing?

Rubin supports some degrees of pim with hbm4, so does mi400. It's what separates both products from other ai accelerators that are gonna be on the market

Wow, this is AI slop at its finest. Clearly written by AI.

I trusts Nvidia tape outs more than Intel’s. Meteor Lake was taped out a full 2 years before it hit the shelves
