[ai chips] Nvidia's latest move in the AI hardware race: specialized chips for inference
Nvidia just announced the Rubin CPX - a GPU specifically optimized for the prefill phase of inference. This is fascinating because it challenges the "one chip fits all" approach we've seen dominating AI infrastructure.
The core insight: prefill (generating the first token) is compute-heavy but barely uses memory bandwidth, while decode (generating subsequent tokens) is the opposite - memory-bound with underutilized compute. Running both on the same high-end GPU with expensive HBM wastes resources.
Rubin CPX uses cheaper GDDR7 instead of HBM (cutting memory cost by 50%+), drops NVLink for simple PCIe, but maintains strong FP4 compute - 20 PFLOPS dense. It's designed to be drastically cheaper per unit while being better suited for its specific workload.
The competitive angle is brutal: AMD and others were just catching up with rack-scale designs, and now they need to develop specialized prefill chips too, pushing their roadmaps back another cycle.
This disaggregated approach (separate hardware for prefill/decode) hints at where inference infrastructure is heading - not just software optimization, but purpose-built silicon for different phases of the same task.
