Gigabyte NVIDIA Vera Rubin and More at NVIDIA GTC 2026

At NVIDIA GTC 2026, we got to tour the Gigabyte booth and saw so many AI systems. We also saw the next-generation NVIDIA networking components, Vera CPUs, Rubin GPU platforms, and even the company’s NVIDIA GB300 AI Station, which is going to be the hot thing in local agentic AI soon.

We also have a quick 2-minute video on everything we saw at the booth if you want the quick overview.

Gigabyte NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Rack

First, and like many companies, Gigabyte had an NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack on display. Unlike other companies, Gigabyte had many of the components on display beyond just the compute tray.

If you have not seen them yet, the new Vera Rubin NVL72 compute tray is really different. The front faceplate shows components with a new optimized layout for liquid cooling and easier service.

In the middle, there are still the NVLink compute trays.

Here are the additional compute nodes at the bottom.

This is a great shot of something that is different. Here we get four ConnectX-9 ports and two E1.S SSDs. Unlike previous generations, the horizontal and more spread-out storage is easier to cool.
