Context Before
GDDR7 offers materially lower cost per GB and avoids the need for 2.5D packaging,
However, Nvidia began exploring HBM-equipped variants for prefill, either via modified CPX configurations or through lower memory spec (such as using HBM3E) Rubin deployments dedicated to prefill, which we noted ↗ this way back in early December last year ↗ in our Accelerator & HBM model ↗.
Evidence
We also think a lot this shift is driven by evolving memory economics. **Conventional DRAM pricing has risen sharply: **As DDR pricing increases, the relative premium of HBM compresses because pricing is more locked down in long term contracts, narrowing the cost gap between a GDDR-based CPX and lower-spec HBM configurations, therefore eliminating a lot of the cost benefits GDDR offers relative to performance. While memory bandwidth is not as important for pre-fill compare to decode, it is still necessary.
Context After
Compute Tray Redesign
One of the major changes with VR NVL72 is within the compute tray. This redesign of the compute tray is centered around simplifying assembly, namely eliminating cables from the compute tray as cables have been the major point of failure of GB200/300 assembly. As Jensen put it at CES 2026, the cableless design reduces the compute tray assembly time from 2 hours to 5 minutes. To achieve this, the VR NVL72 compute tray adopts a modular design with the modules connecting to each via board-to-board connectors.
