Rumor: As memory prices have surged, memory has come to account for an excessively high share of the BOM, so Nvidia is reportedly carrying out some system-level optimizations. Internally, the company is said to be discussing reducing the amount of system DDR memory in some Vera Rubin configurations — translator’s note: this likely refers to LPDDR — while keeping HBM capacity unchanged.
