Nvidia says Rubin chips are in full production at CES 2026 as Mercedes adopts DRIVE AV

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at CES in Las Vegas on Monday that the company’s next-generation Vera Rubin AI platform is in full production and can deliver five times the artificial-intelligence computing of its previous chips when running chatbots and other applications. He said Rubin uses a proprietary kind of data to reach that gain, adding: “This is how we were able to deliver such a gigantic step up in performance.” The push comes as rivals such as Advanced Micro Devices and in-house chips from customers like Alphabet’s Google compete more aggressively for the market of running trained AI models at scale.

Tech Turbulence: Big Antitrust Wins, Spy Satellites & Cyber Scares – Sept 2–3, 2025 Roundup

US-China Tech Tensions: In a blow to Beijing’s chip ambitions, the U.S. Commerce Department revoked the “validated end-user” fast-track export status that had allowed Taiwan’s TSMC to import advanced American chipmaking tools into China without a license reuters.com. The privilege will end on Dec. 31, meaning TSMC’s Nanjing fab will need case-by-case export licenses for U.S. equipment thereafter reuters.com. The fab produces 16 nm “mature node” semiconductors – not cutting-edge chips – contributing only ~2.4% of TSMC’s revenue reuters.com. TSMC said it’s “evaluating the situation” and working with U.S. officials to ensure “uninterrupted operations” in Nanjing reuters.com. While South Korean rivals’ shares dipped on their own export curbs, TSMC’s stock held steady reuters.com. Analysts noted the direct impact on TSMC is minimal, but U.S. equipment suppliers like KLA and Applied Materials could see reduced sales to China reuters.com. This latest move – driven by the Trump administration’s push to ensure China “not benefit too much from advanced American technology” reuters.com – tightens the semiconductor export chokehold that began in 2022.
