FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2026: the Rubin on Rubin and the Vera Rubin on Rubin.

Dense throughput for the Rubin against the Vera Rubin: FP64 33 vs 67 TFLOPS, FP32 130 vs 260 TFLOPS, FP16 4,000 vs 8,000 TFLOPS, FP8 17,500 vs 35,000 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 288 GB against 576 GB, fed at 22.0 TB/s versus 44.0 TB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.

For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
