Compare / Generations

Hopper → Blackwell → Blackwell Ultra → Rubin.

The four generations you will see in on-prem AI quotations from 2024 through 2027. What each one buys you, which EMARQUE and DGX systems carry it, and how to plan a multi-year refresh path.

Previous generation

Hopper

H100 / H200
2022 (H100) · 2024 (H200)
Headline GPUs
H100 SXM5 80 GB · H200 NVL 141 GB
What it buys you

Transformer Engine with FP8. First generation tuned for LLM training and inference at scale. H200 adds HBM3e for larger KV caches.

Who it's for

Still a strong on-prem choice for 70B-class production inference. Cheaper per node than Blackwell and shipping in volume.

EMARQUE systems on this generation
Current — shipping

Blackwell

B200 / GB200
2025
Headline GPUs
B200 (NVL / SXM) · GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip
What it buys you

FP4 compute, 5th-gen NVLink, much larger HBM3e per GPU. Step change for training throughput and long-context inference.

Who it's for

The current production-volume generation. Right answer for most enterprises refreshing in 2025–2026.

Current Ultra — ramping

Blackwell Ultra

B300 / GB300
2025–2026 (ramping)
Headline GPUs
B300 (288 GB HBM3e) · GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip
What it buys you

Same architecture as Blackwell with denser HBM3e per GPU and higher dense FP4 throughput. Built for reasoning workloads and very long context.

Who it's for

Right answer when reasoning workloads need the per-GPU memory headroom, or when you want the NVL72 rack-scale fabric.

Current Ultra — ramping

Rubin

Vera Rubin
2026
Headline GPUs
NVIDIA Rubin GPU · NVIDIA Vera CPU + Rubin Superchip
What it buys you

NVIDIA's next-generation rack-scale AI Factory architecture, successor to Blackwell Ultra. In production following the Computex 2026 announcement.

Who it's for

Next-generation AI Factory and sovereign-compute deployments. Allocation and configuration confirmed with EMARQUE on enquiry.

How to plan a refresh

Three honest takes on timing.

Buy Hopper today

Cheapest tokens per MYR for 70B-class production inference. Use it when budget dominates and the workload isn't HBM-pressure-bound. Plan a Blackwell refresh in 18–24 months.

Buy Blackwell (B200) today

Current refresh sweet spot. FP4 economics, mature shipping volume, easy DGX SuperPOD scale-out. Step up to B300 in-place when the workload demands more HBM per GPU.

Plan for Blackwell Ultra / Rubin

Long-context reasoning, rack-scale fabric, or a roadmap that lands in 2026–2027. Have the allocation conversation now — supply is the gating factor, not technology.

Building a multi-year plan?

We bridge generations — your refresh doesn't have to start over.

Architecture consult to map current Hopper / Blackwell estate onto a Blackwell Ultra or Rubin roadmap — without throwing out what already works.
