## Summary

TrendForce reports that top-end GPU lead times rose 5 weeks to 45 as NVIDIA's Rubin transition begins. Hyperscalers are expected to receive Rubin first, while enterprise buyers stay on existing GPU platforms. DRAM lead times eased 1 week to 19 weeks but remain more than double normal, and substrates and capacitors run more than 3 times their balanced lead times.

TrendForce: Top-end GPU lead times jumped 5 weeks to 45 as NVIDIA’s Rubin transition begins.

Hyperscalers will likely get NVIDIA’s Rubin first, leaving enterprise buyers on existing GPU platforms.

96GB and 128GB RDIMMs are arriving faster, but 32GB and 64GB modules remain severely tight.

DRAM lead times eased 1 week to 19, yet still run more than double normal.

Since a server ships only when its slowest part arrives, Rubin’s ramp depends on substrates and capacitors running more than 3 times their balanced lead times.
