① SA Source

Context Before

Source: Panasonic

Copper foil content in Rubin is upgraded from HVLP2 to HVLP4 grade copper foil for the signal layers. As discussed earlier, due to the skin effect, smoother copper foil equals to lower insertion loss. HVLP is the classification of copper foil standing for Ultra-Low Profile Copper Foil. The higher the HVLP grade equals to lower surface roughness.

Evidence

For the power layers, the additional layers in Strata compared to Blackwell are mostly power layers to accommodate more power going into the GPU

Context After

The glass fiber cloth upgrade aims to reduce the dielectric constant of CCL. Beside glass fiber cloth, resin is also a key factor contributing to dielectric constant. To achieve a desirable dielectric constant, the CCL makers have their unique recipes to their formulation of the two dielectric materials in the CCL. Currently, debate around the CCL spec is around the adoption of Quartz cloth (Q glass).

Quartz cloth is the next generation material that replaces the glass fiber cloth materials as the reinforcing layer, pushing dielectric constant even lower. Besides lower dielectric constant, quartz cloth also has the benefits of being stronger, more temperature resistance, and having a lower CTE. On the other hand, the cost is multiples higher than that of the highest-grade glass fiber cloth and is much harder to process at the PCB manufacturing level, leading to worse yield.
