Factual AI compute, hardware and data

The Groq chip has 500MB of SRAM, while a Rubin chip has 288GB of memory.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

Judge as of 2026-03-16. The claim has two parts: (a) the Groq chip (LPU) has about 500MB of on-chip SRAM; (b) an NVIDIA Rubin GPU has 288GB of memory (HBM4). True: official specifications support both figures, roughly (a Groq chip with about 500MB of SRAM, for example the current or next-generation LPU) and exactly as specified for Rubin (288GB). Mostly true: both are correct in substance with a small slip, for example Groq's SRAM is about 230MB on the first-generation chip but about 500MB on the relevant chip, or Rubin's memory is stated per package rather than per die. Mixed: one figure is correct and the other is substantially wrong. Mostly false or false: both are substantially wrong. Use false when neither is near the specification.

    “The LP30 chip at the heart of the Groq 3 LPX rack carries 512 MB of on-chip SRAM per die, delivering 150 TB/s of memory bandwidth.”

    “a significant amount of area taken is up by the 500MB of on-chip SRAM, with a very small amount of area dedicated to MatMul cores that offer 1.2 PFLOPs of FP8 compute”

    “That figure dwarfs the 22 TB/s available from the 288 GB of HBM4 on each Rubin GPU.”

Reasoning

An independent report puts the Groq 3 LP30 chip at 512 MB of on-chip SRAM per die [E1], and an independent analyst newsletter describes a chip with 500MB of on-chip SRAM [E2], so "about 500MB" holds. NVIDIA's technical blog lists up to 288 GB of HBM4 per Rubin GPU (E3), and an independent Tom's Hardware report confirms 288 GB of HBM4 on each Rubin GPU (E4). Both figures match the specifications the criteria require.
