According to The Information, Nvidia is weighing a significant adjustment measure, considering using less high-bandwidth memory for the Rubin Ultra GPU to address the shortage of advanced high-bandwidth memory chips.

According to the latest research by TrendForce, the tight supply of DRAM is expected to continue until 2027, and the uncertainty of the HBM4e verification schedule is prompting AI chip manufacturers to consider reducing the HBM configuration of their next-generation products. Starting from Q3 2026, NVIDIA has begun evaluating the HBM solution for Rubin Ultra, expanding from the original 12-Hi HBM4e to alternative options such as 8-Hi HBM4e, 12-Hi HBM4, and 8-Hi HBM4, with the final specifications yet to be determined. Previously, due to the expected supply bottleneck of LPDDR5X lasting until 2027, NVIDIA decided to halve the SOCAMM capacity of the next-generation Vera Rubin Superchip module.TrendForce pointed out that the main reasons for the downgrade of Rubin Ultra from 12-Hi HBM4e include: the overall DRAM shortage in 2027 will limit the allocation of wafer capacity to HBM, and there is still uncertainty regarding the mass production schedule and yield ramp-up of 12-Hi HBM4e. It is expected that the HBM bit shipment volume in 2027 will increase by approximately 50-60% year-on-year, which will still be insufficient to meet the growth in demand. HBM suppliers will maintain pricing power throughout 2027, and HBM prices are expected to rise significantly. The final configuration will depend on the wafer allocation decisions of memory suppliers.

ChainCatcher news, Vitalik Buterin's latest article elaborates on the GKR (Goldreich--Kahan--Rothblum) protocol used to accelerate ZK proofs, adapting to the "batch × multi-layer" computational structure, significantly reducing intermediate layer commitments, and only committing to inputs and outputs.The article uses Poseidon2 hash as an example to detail the recursive proof process centered around sumcheck, and provides optimizations (Gruen's trick, linear batching, partial rounds with only cubic leading elements), which can be combined with BaseFold or FRI in polynomial commitment scenarios. The author claims that the actual overhead is less than 100 times the theoretical value of traditional STARK, with single-digit level overhead expected, and warns that the Fiat--Shamir challenge must guard against predictability risks within the circuit.
