signal brief
Nvidia's next-generation AI rack system, Kyber NVL144, has been delayed by over 12 months to 2028 due to manufacturing difficulties with a key printed circuit board (PCB midplane), according to research firm SemiAnalysis (source: CNBC). Additionally, the backup NVL72x2 architecture, which combined two current-gen racks, was cancelled after cloud service providers (CSPs) and hyperscalers rejected the design as awkward and costly. The delay removes Nvidia's high-end scale-up solution for its upcoming Rubin Ultra chips, potentially opening a window for competitors like AMD and Google's in-house chips. Asian PCB stocks slid on the news (source: Bloomberg). Nvidia supplier Unimicron also announced a $1.4 billion share offering (source: Bloomberg), and Singapore filed new charges in an Nvidia chip fraud case (source: Bloomberg). Despite the setback, SemiAnalysis projects Nvidia's data-center compute revenue will run 20% above consensus in the second half of fiscal 2027, and current-gen Rubin systems are shipping this fall.
What the sources said:
- CNBC: 'Kyber NVL144 rack architecture has been delayed to 2028 as the PCB midplane remains challenging from a manufacturability standpoint.'
- CNBC: 'It has since been cancelled due to heavy pushback from CSPs (cloud service providers) and hyperscalers over its odd design and heavy operational burden.'
- Bloomberg: 'Nvidia AI Server Delay Report Sends Asian Tech Stocks Sliding.'
