Purpose: Compare Blackwell's earlier capacity with Vera Rubin's expected cost and useful-throughput assumptions to calculate the economic cost of waiting.
Direct answer: Blackwell may provide earlier, better-understood capacity. Vera Rubin may provide a stronger future platform for some workloads. The decision becomes clearer when you put a dollar value on the delay and keep the Rubin price/performance assumptions explicit instead of treating “wait for the next generation” as automatically cheaper.
