THE $NVDA VERA RUBIN SUPPLY CHAIN BREAKDOWN Nvidia’s Vera Rubin is ramping into full-scale production and reshaping the AI rack bill of materials in three major ways: more HBM per rack, a shift from pluggable to co-packaged optics and the move to 800VDC power. Here are the companies positioned to capture each transition: Memory Storage (content-per-rack story) • $MU, $SNDK, $SKHY and Samsung sit at the memory and storage layer as next-gen AI systems require more bandwidth, more capacity and faster data access. Advanced Packaging (bottleneck that gates everything) • Foundry / packaging: $TSM, $AMKR, $INTC • Packaging equipment: $AMAT, $LRCX, $KLAC, $ASML • Test / validation: $TER, $AEHR • Substrates / materials: $TTMI Optical Communication (CPO transition) • Optical modules: $COHR, $LITE, $AAOI • CPO / switching chips: $AVGO, $NVDA, $MRVL • High-speed connectivity: $CRDO, $ALAB • Fiber / networking: $GLW, $NOK, $CSCO, $ANET • Silicon photonics / packaging: $TSM, $GFS, $TSEM 800VDC Power Supply (architecture shift) • Wide-bandgap semis: $STM, $ON, $NVTS, $POWI, $WOLF • Power management / hardened devices: $MPWR, $ADI, $TXN, $AOSL, $VICR, $MCHP • Motherboard / connector / power module: $FLEX, $APH, $TEL • Infrastructure / power delivery: $VRT, $ETN, $GEV Compute System (integrators) • $DELL, $HPE, $SMCI provide the system-level integration layer that turns all of these components into deployable AI infrastructure.
