Nvidia CEO Huang to unveil 'surprising' new chip at GTC 2026; secures HBM4 supply

Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang announced plans to unveil a new chip designed to "surprise the world" at the GTC conference on March 16, 2026. The company is targeting significant performance and design leaps to push AI technology limits. To secure critical components for its "Vera Rubin" platform, Huang hosted a dinner for SK Hynix and Nvidia engineers on February 14, 2026. Nvidia demands HBM4 memory speeds exceeding 11 Gbps and bandwidth over 3.0 TB/s. Speculation suggests the upcoming product could be an enhanced Rubin architecture or an early release of the "Feynman" architecture, potentially utilizing 1.6nm process technology.
