NVIDIA’s roadmap placed Vera Rubin in the second half of 2026, making a qualifying OEM order-opening by September plausible, especially across several major server vendors. However, new rack-scale platforms commonly move from architecture announcements to limited sampling before general OEM orderability; validation, networking, cooling, and system-integration delays can push formal ordering into the fourth quarter. The supplied digest shows strong AI-system demand but no qualifying shipment or order-open disclosure. Because the deadline has passed and architecture or future-availability language explicitly misses, I discount the original 0.7 forecast.
