  1. Nvidia下一代AI晶片R系列/R100 AI晶片將在4Q25量產,系統/機櫃方案預計將在1H26量產。
  2. R100將採台積電的N3製程 (vs. B100採用台積電的N4P) 與CoWoS-L封裝 (與B100相同)。
  3. R100採用約4x reticle設計 (vs. B100的3.3x reticle設計)。
  4. R100的Interposer尺寸尚未定案,有2–3種選擇。
  5. R100預計將搭配8顆HBM4。
  6. GR200的Grace CPU將採台積電的N3製程 (vs. GH200/GB200的CPU採用台積電N5)。
  7. Nvidia已理解到AI伺服器的耗能已成為CSP/Hyperscale採購與資料中心建置挑戰,故R系列的晶片與系統方案,除提升AI算力外,耗能改善亦為設計重點。
  1. Nvidia’s next-generation AI chip, the R-series/R100 AI chip, will enter mass production in 4Q25, and the system/rack solution will likely start mass production in 1H26.
  2. R100 will use TSMC’s N3 node (vs. TSMC’s N4P for B100) and CoWoS-L packaging (same as B100).
  3. R100 adopts about 4x reticle design (vs. B100’s 3.3x).
  4. The interposer size for R100 has yet to be finalized. There are 2–3 options.
  5. R100 will be equipped with eight HBM4 units.
  6. GR200’s Grace CPU will use TSMC’s N3 process (vs. TSMC’s N5 for GH200 & GB200’s Grace CPU).
  7. Nvidia realizes that the power consumption of AI servers has become a challenge for customers’ procurement and data center construction. Hence, the R-series chips and system solutions focus on improving power consumption in addition to enhancing AI computing power.
