on-board capacitance shaping the sub-ms edge: ~65 J/GPU (GB300) to ~400 J/GPU (Vera Rubin) before the bus ever sees the pulse

~65–400 J/GPUobserved

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeComposite range: the ~65 J/GPU lower bound is the shipping GB300 NVL72 power-shelf figure; the ~400 J/GPU upper bound is NVIDIA's stated design figure for the Vera Rubin PSU capacitor system (platform shipping since June 2026). Both are vendor design statements, not independent field measurements.
