NVIDIA is set to break new ground in artificial intelligence infrastructure with the launch of the Rubin CPX GPU, expected by the end of 2026. This innovative GPU is tailored for processing workloads that require handling exceptionally long context windows, specifically designed for tasks demanding the processing of over one million tokens.
The Rubin CPX builds on a concept called disaggregated inference, which divides the stages of AI inference into operations that focus on compute power and memory bandwidth separately. This distinct approach allows for specialized hardware to handle each phase more efficiently, addressing the complexities introduced by advanced AI applications.
In the first phase, large amounts of data must be absorbed to generate the initial output. This process is compute-intensive. The next phase, generating outputs, is more constrained by memory bandwidth, necessitating fast data transfers to maintain performance. The Rubin CPX aims to optimize the first phase, enhancing throughput in scenarios where existing systems reach their limits.
Long-context requirements are becoming increasingly relevant in domains like software development, research, and film production. For example, AI tools assisting with programming need to analyze entire codebases effectively, while long-form video productions require continuous logical coherence over extensive data sequences. The Rubin CPX, featuring 128 GB of GDDR7 memory and 30 petaFLOPs of compute power, is designed to support these demanding use cases.
The launch of the Rubin CPX signifies a shift in the design of inference infrastructure. NVIDIA emphasizes a SMART strategy—focusing on scalability, return on investment, multidimensional performance, and architectural efficiency—while ensuring platforms like the Blackwell and GB200 NVL72 systems can integrate seamlessly. Furthermore, it supports open-source frameworks like TensorRT-LLM and Dynamo, the latter being vital for managing disaggregated inference effectively.
The Rubin CPX will integrate with NVIDIA’s broader ecosystem, working in conjunction with Vera CPUs and Rubin GPUs to create comprehensive rack-level offerings. For instance, one configuration, known as the Vera Rubin NVL144 CPX rack, will include 144 Rubin CPX GPUs and Vera CPUs, delivering stellar computing capabilities that far surpass previous models.
From an economic standpoint, NVIDIA believes the Rubin CPX could redefine inference costs, forecasting returns on investment of 30 to 50 times at scale. They project that a $100 million investment could yield up to $5 billion in revenues for companies adopting its next-generation AI capabilities.
As AI challenges evolve to require multi-step reasoning, sustained memory, and proactive problem-solving across lengthy timelines, the Rubin CPX and its associated frameworks represent NVIDIA’s solution to these demands, integrating high-performance computing with effective memory management and networking to provide powerful, scalable, and economically viable options for enterprises and developers globally.
