NVIDIA Considers Reducing Rubin Ultra GPU Configuration to Address HBM Memory Shortage
To address HBM memory supply shortages, NVIDIA is considering reducing the specifications of the next-generation Rubin Ultra GPU. According to sources cited by The Information, NVIDIA has internally tested at least three versions of the Rubin Ultra GPU with lower HBM configurations over the past few weeks, requiring HBM capacity lower than the initially announced specifications. Possible downgrade paths include scaling down from HBM4E to HBM4, and from 12Hi HBM to 8Hi HBM. This move aims to advance product launch plans under supply constraints.
