NVIDIA’s Vera CPU Debuts as a New Agentic-AI Powerhouse for Data Centers

NVIDIA unveils the Vera CPU, the first processor purpose-built for agentic AI and reinforcement learning, claiming about twice the efficiency and 50% faster performance than traditional CPUs. Designed for rack-scale AI factories, Vera supports large-scale concurrent workloads (e.g., 256-core racks), uses high-bandwidth NVLink-C2C interconnects, LPDDR5X memory up to 1.2 TB/s, and features 88 Olympus cores. Backed by broad ecosystem partners and major customers, Vera is set for full production in the second half of 2026.
