NVIDIA's next-generation AI chip, Vera Rubin, has been crazily booked by customers even before it has been officially released.AI infrastructure service provider Nscale recently announced that it will add an additional 30,000 Rubin GPUs, bringing its total deployment for customers such as Microsoft to 130,000.

The specific composition of these 130,000 chips is: Nscale has previously announced that it will deploy 100,000 Vera Rubin chips in its data center, and now it has added 30,000 more, all planned to be deployed in 2027.

The additional 30,000 units will be focused on the Narvik campus in Norway, while the remaining 100,000 units will be distributed at Nscale sites in many places in Europe, including the United Kingdom and other parts of Norway.

With this wave of expansion, Nscale's cooperation with Microsoft has further expanded, and the total computing power capacity of the AI ​​chips in Narvik Park will reach 230 megawatts. The company says it is Norway's largest onshore infrastructure project.

Nscale founder and CEO Josh Payne said that the demand for advanced AI infrastructure in various markets continues to accelerate, and the company’s focus is on bringing the latest technology online at the right place and at real scale. The Narvik deployment is a reflection of strong customer demand.

NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform targets AI reasoning scenarios, especially the emerging agent AI (Agentic AI).

Ian Buck, vice president of ultra-large-scale and high-performance computing at Nvidia, pointed out that deploying intelligent and physical AI requires a new generation of supercomputing infrastructure that is both large-scale and efficient.

The Vera Rubin NVL72 platform deployed by Nscale will provide key AI computing power to European developers.Each Vera Rubin NVL72 system integrates 72 Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs and adopts a rack-level AI data center architecture.

Nscale is one of the first global vendors to announce the deployment of this platform, which combines the two advanced architectures of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin.

Although the Rubin chip has not yet been officially released, the super order of 130,000 units has proved that Nvidia’s next-generation AI chips are still as popular as ever.
