① SA Source

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

because pricing is more locked down in long term contracts

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.
