NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 Series May Tap Rubin GPU Architecture But When?

Remember back in September when NVIDIA announced the existence of the Rubin CPX processor at the AI Technology Conference? We theorized at that time that Rubin CPX could be the chip destined to eventually appear in next-generation GeForce cards. The theory made sense, but apparently it's incorrect, at least according to long-time NVIDIA leaker kopite7kimi.

Quote-tweeting a post from High Yield—another well-known enthusiast—he said "It's NOT a giant for gaming. It is GR212. As you see, GR100 is based on two GR102, looks the same as GB100." Based on NVIDIA's model names, that would suggest that the Rubin CPX chip is not only a second-generation Rubin chip, but in fact a specialized revision of that chip; the first digit usually refers to major architectural revisions, while the second digit typically refers to a specialized variant intended for compute usage.

We say that, but the last ...
