Nvidia's Kyber NVL144 reportedly pushed back more than a year, Asian suppliers drop

Nvidia's Kyber NVL144 server rack is delayed until 2028 due to PCB manufacturing issues.

Analyst firm SemiAnalysis reports that Nvidia has pushed back the release of its Kyber NVL144 server rack by over a year. The delay stems from technical challenges with the PCB midplane, a critical component for system connectivity. The setback also includes the cancellation of the Rubin Ultra variant, potentially creating a competitive opening for rivals like AMD and Google.
