NVIDIA GTC 2026: Vera Rubin in Production, Feynman on the Horizon
NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform — 336 billion transistors, 288GB of HBM4, 50 petaflops per GPU — is already in production and shipping to hyperscalers. But the real reveal at GTC 2026 may be Feynman: the first 1.6nm AI chip with silicon photonics, targeting 2028.
The HBM4 Race: SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron Battle for NVIDIA's Memory Orders
With NVIDIA's Vera Rubin demanding 288GB of HBM4 per GPU — 576 stacks per rack — the three memory giants are in an all-out production war. SK Hynix leads with ~70% of NVIDIA's allocation, Samsung is shipping its turnkey solution, and Micron is ramping 15,000 wafers per month.
The 16-Hi HBM4 Push: NVIDIA's Demand Is Rewriting Memory Roadmaps
NVIDIA has requested all three major memory suppliers deliver 16-layer HBM4 by Q4 2026. SK Hynix debuted a 48GB, 2+ TB/s module at CES 2026. The demand is compressing roadmaps designed for 2027 into 2026 deliverables.
