Last September, Nvidia announced a new product<\/a> to join its all-conquering collection of AI offerings, Rubin CPX. What made this GPU notable was that it was the company’s first attempt at making a processor purely for AI inference. However, while Nvidia’s Vera CPU and the other Rubin GPU are seemingly racking up the orders, it’s all gone very quiet on the CPX front, and that’s potentially a brief respite for PC gamers.<\/p>\n

Korean publication The Elec<\/a> drew my attention to this via a short report on the matter, claiming that sources have told it that the whole thing has ground to a halt. “The industry views the project as effectively cancelled,” it writes.<\/p>\n

The evidence for this is the apparent lack of printed circuit board (PCB) and DRAM module orders, specifically for Rubin CPX installations. Where Vera Rubin<\/a>, Blackwell<\/a>, and older AI superchips all use high bandwidth memory (HBM) for the GPU’s local storage, because of the bandwidth demands of AI training, CPX uses 128 GB of GDDR7 mounted directly on the PCB, rather than the processor’s package.<\/p>\n

In any case, no PCB or GDDR7 orders equivalent to those required for a CPX setup strongly suggests that Nvidia has either sidelined the project for the moment or abandoned it entirely. Rubin CPX wasn’t expected to be available until the end of this year, but while we’re still a good number of months away from the start of the final quarter, you’d think that production would be scaling now<\/em>, if demand were high.<\/p>\n
