Industry Overview

Thoughts on NVIDIA Vera CPU memory capacity reduction 13 June 2026

The street is speculating a 50% SOCAMM memory content cut for NVIDIA’s new CPU, Equity

Vera, vs the original spec (new 750GB vs old 1,500GB). We believe this is not true. Our Global

check still shows 1,500GB-centric SOCAMM (192GB x 8) as a mainstream for Vera Rubin Technology

(with HBM4) vs 750GB (96GB x 8) for Vera CPU rack (without HBM). Of course, clients Simon Woo, CFA >>

(Google, Amazon, MSFT, Meta) can opt 750GB or 1,500GB for Vera Rubin superchip or Research Analyst

Vera CPU rack. Net-net, we conclude 1) Vera Rubin should continue to use 1,500GB Merrill+82 2 3707Lynch0554(Seoul)

(750GB possible but lower performance), and 2) Vera CPU rack also should initially use simon.woo@bofa.com

1,500GB, but it can work with 750GB too. Initial SOCAMM orders were for Vera Rubin; Dai Shen >>

thus, Vera CPU rack offers incremental SOCAMM demand – positive for its TAM. Merrill Lynch (Hong Kong)
