the claims it rests on
We expect our Rubin platform to start shipping in the second half of fiscal year 2027
The increased frequency and complexity of newly introduced products could result in unanticipated quality or production issues
We have introduced a new product and architecture cadence of our Data Center solutions where we seek to complete new computing solutions each year
what it was checked against
Rubin production-shipment timing
Our next-generation Data Center architecture, Vera Rubin, began production shipments in the third quarter of fiscal year 2027.
Blackwell current-generation dominance
Revenue growth in the second quarter and the first half of fiscal year 2027 was driven by data center products for accelerated computing and AI solutions. Blackwell continued to account for the majority of our system shipments.
