Nvidia Confirms Blackwell Ultra GPUs for 2025 and Vera Rubin for 2026

CEO Jensen Huang outlines Nvidia's roadmap, including a mid-cycle Blackwell refresh and next-gen Rubin architecture aimed at advancing AI capabilities.

Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra GPUs, part of the B300 series, are set for release in the second half of 2025 after resolving earlier delays caused by design flaws in the initial Blackwell chips.
The Blackwell Ultra series will feature enhanced performance, including up to 288GB of HBM3E memory and new networking capabilities with Mellanox Spectrum Ultra X800 Ethernet switches.
The next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, expected in 2026, will incorporate HBM4E memory, NVLink 6 switches, and CX9 network cards to support advanced AI and HPC workloads.
CEO Jensen Huang emphasized Nvidia's commitment to maintaining an annual product release cadence, with Rubin GPUs representing a significant leap toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Nvidia plans to unveil details about both Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin at the upcoming GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in March, alongside hints of post-Rubin developments.
