Nvidia Details New A.I. Chips and Autonomous Car Project With Mercedes
Nvidia's Vera Rubin AI chips reduce inference costs by up to 10 times and enable Mercedes to launch self-driving CLA cars in Europe and the US.
- On Monday at CES technology trade show in Las Vegas, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said `Today, I can tell you that Vera Rubin is in full production,` and it is on track to begin arriving to customers later this year.
- Built with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's 3 nm process, the Rubin platform bundles six chips including Rubin GPU and Vera CPU, and Nvidia says Rubin cleared low-volume testing and validation.
- Technical details show Rubin delivers, as Nvidia told analysts it will cut AI model costs to about one-tenth of Blackwell and each Vera Rubin superchip reaches 50 petaFLOPS inference and 35 petaFLOPS training using an adaptive compression technique.
- Industry rollout plans show Microsoft and CoreWeave will offer Rubin-powered services later this year, with Microsoft data centers in Georgia and Wisconsin including thousands of Rubin chips, making AI systems cheaper to operate.
- In automotive developments, the company showed Alpamayo, a "reasoning vision language action" model, and said its autonomous driving stack will hit US roads late this year with the Mercedes Benz CLA.

Vera Rubin: Chip wars escalate as Nvidia unveils next frontier in AI
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that the company’s next-generation AI chips will deliver up to five times more computing power, debuting earlier than expected. Nvidia pushes deeper into chatbots, agentic AI, self-driving technology and long-context applications.
Huang announced that the new accelerators for the AI, called Vera Rubin. His next bet autonomous driving
Nvidia speeds up chip release as AI competition intensifies
The NewsIs there any stopping Nvidia? CEO Jensen Huang previewed the company’s next generation of chips sooner than expected, telling crowds at the CES conference in Las Vegas that “everyone is trying to get to the next frontier” of AI. The Vera Rubin chip — named, a bit ominously, after the astronomer who proved the existence of dark matter — can do more computing with less power than its predecessor. (Stocks of companies that make cooling tech…
The race for artificial intelligence is also a race for dominance in the semiconductor business. In order to process ever larger amounts of data, much faster chips are needed. Industry Prime Nvidia is now surprisingly introducing a new series.
NVIDIA Investor Update: Huang Touts Surging AI Demand, Blackwell Leap, Fast Vera Rubin Ramp
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) executives used a wide-ranging Q&A session to underscore what they described as accelerating demand for AI infrastructure, a faster-than-usual product cadence heading into the Vera Rubin platform, and expanding opportunities in areas such as autonomous vehicles, agentic AI,
