NVIDIA rolls out new Ruben CPX AI chip

Chip and tech hardware company NVIDIA has rolled out its new Ruben CPX AI chip on Tuesday, a new piece of hardware capable of processing million-token coding and video, as per an official press release.

A token is a word in AI used to describe the unit building block of language models. Tokens are used to help process text, language, video, and other forms of media created by AI technology. 

“The Vera Rubin platform will mark another leap in the frontier of AI computing — introducing both the next-generation Rubin GPU and a new category of processors called CPX,” said CEO Jensen Huang. 

“Just as RTX revolutionized graphics and physical AI, Rubin CPX is the first CUDA GPU purpose-built for massive-context AI, where models reason across millions of tokens of knowledge at once,” he also said 

NVIDIA chips to help AI applications scale

AI models need extremely large amounts of tokens to help process videos, often requiring a level of computing power that traditional GPUs don’t have. The new lineup of NVIDIA chips is expected to solve this issue, giving a much higher bandwidth for AI applications to work with and possibly even scale their output.
