Nvidia Considers Lower Memory Configurations for Next-Gen GPU Amid HBM Shortage
Nvidia is considering lower-than-planned memory configurations for its next-generation Rubin Ultra graphics processors to address a shortage of high-bandwidth memory chips. Over the past few weeks, the company has tested at least three versions of the Rubin Ultra, with some variants carrying memory sizes below the specifications it originally announced. The testing spans multiple configurations as Nvidia responds to supply constraints in the high-end memory market.
