HBM4 / In-House HBM (2026–2027)

  • HBM4 (NVIDIA Rubin / AMD MI400): 1,024-bit interface, 2.4+ TB/s/stack
  • Huawei in-house HiBL/HiZQ: First Chinese enterprise to achieve in-house HBM mass production (950PR/950DT)
  • HBM4e: Late 2027, likely for Rubin Ultra

Personal AI Computing (2026 Emerging Trend)

  • NVIDIA RTX Spark: AI PC chip, 1 PFLOPS, shipping Fall 2026
  • Apple M5 Ultra: Local LLM inference, 192GB unified memory
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite 2: 2027, AI PC continues to evolve
  • Significance: AI compute extends from datacenters to personal devices

Wafer-Scale / Rack-Scale (2026+)

  • NVIDIA Rubin NVL72: 72 GPU + 36 CPU, rack-scale AI factory
  • AMD Helios: 432GB HBM4, 260 TB/s UALink interconnect
  • Cerebras WSE-4: 1.4T transistor wafer-scale engine
  • Huawei CloudMatrix 384: 384-chip interconnect, total BF16 compute ~300 PFLOPS

Low-Precision Computing (FP4 / INT4)

  • NVIDIA Rubin R200: 50 PFLOPS FP4 (sparse), 2.8× Blackwell
  • AMD MI400: 40 PFLOPS FP4 (dense), Helios rack ~2 ExaFLOPS
  • Huawei HiF8: Proprietary FP8 variant, precision approaching FP16
  • Trend: FP8 → FP4 → INT4, trading precision for compute, models trained at ever-lower precision
