Nvidia begins Vera Rubin GPU production as management defends $3-4T capex outlook
Question
Nvidia begins Vera Rubin GPU production as management defends $3-4T capex outlook
Direct answer
Nvidia confirmed that its next-generation Vera Rubin GPU architecture has officially entered full-scale production. The manufacturing milestone comes alongside historical quarterly metrics showing 106% top-line growth and a 75% gross margin profile. CEO Jensen Huang reaffirmed an aggregate datacenter infrastructure expenditure target of $3 trillion to $4 trillion through 2030, rejecting concerns over an immediate hardware demand plateau. — bullish pressure on NVDA.
