Jensen Huang: NVIDIA's Vera Rubin architecture is currently in volume production. Our verdict: True.
Huang made the claim in a CBS interview, as reported by Wccftech; the claim is dated 8 November 2026.
Our verdict
True
True. NVIDIA said Vera Rubin was ramping into full production, with manufacturing at scale and shipments due to begin in fall 2026; this supports Huang’s claim that it was in volume production by 8 November.
What we found
A March report by DataCenterDynamics said Vera Rubin chips had been in full production since the start of 2026. Huang was also reported in July as saying the system was already in production, with large volumes to come. These accounts support the claim, although public sources do not give shipment totals or independently verify production volumes.
