Prompt
Hi, I'm going to provide you below a bunch of copy-pasted information from Nvidia about their Hopper, Blackwell, and Rubin data center GPU lines. I want you to make me McKinsey-style slide with the specifications and important differences between these generations of Nvidia chips. I care most about compute, HBM, scale up world size, interconnect, mem bandwidth. The slide will need to be fairly information dense! Use whatever web technologies you want for making this. # Nvidia Data Center GPU Architecture Report: Hopper, Blackwell, and Rubin ## The evolution of AI computing infrastructure Nvidia's data center GPU portfolio represents a revolutionary progression in AI computing, with each architecture generation delivering exponential performance improvements. The transition from Hopper (current) to Blackwell (2025) and Rubin (2026) demonstrates Nvidia's shift to an annual release cadence, fundamentally changing the pace of AI infrastructure development.
