• Nvidia Rubin DGX SuperPOD delivers 28.8 Exaflops with only 576 GPUs
• Each NVL72 system combines 36 Vera CPUs, 72 Rubin GPUs, and 18 DPUs
• Aggregate NVLink throughput reaches 260TB/s per DGX rack for efficiency

At CES 2026, Nvidia unveiled its next-generation DGX SuperPOD powered by the Rubin platform, a system designed to deliver extreme AI compute in dense, integrated racks.

According to the company, the SuperPOD integrates multiple Vera Rubin NVL72 or NVL8 systems into a single coherent AI engine, supporting large scale workloads with minimal infrastructure complexity.

With liquid cooled modules, high speed interconnects, and unified memory, the system targets institutions seeking maximum AI throughput and reduced latency.

Rubin-based compute architecture

Each DGX Vera Rubin NVL72 system includes 36 Vera CPUs, 72 Rubin GPUs, and 18 BlueField 4 DPUs, delivering a combined FP4 performance of 50 petaflops per system.

Aggregate NVLink throughput reaches 260TB/s per rack, allowing the full memory and compute space to operate as a single coherent AI engine.

The Rubin GPU incorporates a third generation Transformer Engine and hardware accelerated compression, allowing inference and training workloads to process efficiently at scale.

Connectivity is reinforced by Spectrum-6 Ethernet switches, Quantum-X800 InfiniBand, and ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, which support deterministic high speed AI data transfer.
