Context Before
Additionally, Nvidia claims up to an effective 50 PFLOPS of FP4 performance can be achieved with an updated 3rd generation Transformer Engine that replaces 2:4 structured sparsity from prior generations. We will detail this architectural feature for Rubin below.
Notably, the Tensor core width doubling only applies to FP4 and FP8, with BF16 and TF32 remaining the same as Blackwell, resulting in performance scaling only 1.6x of Blackwell. This architectural decision reflects NVIDIA’s belief that most training and inference workloads will move away from TF32 and BF16 and onto FP8 and FP4.
Evidence
the move to HBM4 means double the bus width per stack
Context After
While Nvidia is targeting 22TB/s, we understand that memory suppliers are having challenges hitting Nvidia’s requirements and we see it likely that initial shipments will come in slightly below at closer to 20TB/s. We have discussed the implications to SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron extensively for Accelerator and HBM model subscribers. ↗ Micron is well behind Samsung and Hynix and we believe they are effectively out of the picture for Rubin HBM4. ↗ We have more details on qualifications and pin speeds in the Accelerator and HBM model ↗
The NVLink-C2C chiplet houses the SerDes for the Vera CPU connection, doubled in bandwidth to 1.8TB/s, while the larger NVLink 6 chiplet on the other end of the chip features 36 custom ‘400G’ SerDes links for 2x NVLink bandwidth to all 72 Rubin GPUs.
