NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale AI supercomputer won Golden and Sustainable Tech awards at COMPUTEX 2026, delivering 10x higher inference performance per watt and 10x lower cost per token. The system connects 36 NVIDIA Vera CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs via the sixth-generation NVIDIA NVLink Switch for scale-up, with ConnectX-9 SuperNICs and Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics co-packaged optics switches for scale-out and scale-across, as well as BlueField-4 DPUs to accelerate data processing across storage and security. When paired with NVIDIA Groq 3 LPX, the system delivers up to 35x higher throughput per watt for trillion-parameter models. Designed for agentic AI, reasoning and long-context workloads, it enables AI factories to scale intelligence inside the rack and across the data center with secure, continuously available deployment. The Vera Rubin NVL72’s cable-free, hose-free, fanless modular tray design reduces assembly time from two hours to five minutes per compute tray. The system’s power shelves deliver 6x more onboard energy storage for intelligent power smoothing, protecting both the rack and the broader power grid from steep load swings. Its 100% liquid-cooled architecture operates at 45 degrees Celsius, allowing seamless integration into existing liquid-cooled data centers and enabling ambient-air, dry-cooler designs that redirect power from cooling overhead into token generation. *Source: [nvidia](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-gtc-taipei-computex-2026-news/)*
