NVIDIA Vera CPU Delivers the Highest Performance and Energy Efficiency for Data Processing, AI Training and Agentic Inference at Scale
News Summary:
The NVIDIA Vera CPU delivers results with twice the efficiency and 50% faster than traditional CPUs.
Customers collaborating with NVIDIA to deploy Vera CPU include Alibaba, ByteDance, Meta and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, along with CoreWeave, Lambda, Nebius and Nscale.
Manufacturing partners already adopting the Vera CPU include Dell Technologies, HPE, Lenovo and Supermicro, along with ASUS, Compal, Foxconn, GIGABYTE, Pegatron, Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), Wistron and Wiwynn.
GTC—NVIDIA today launched the NVIDIA Vera CPU, the world’s first processor purpose-built for the age of agentic AI and reinforcement learning — delivering results with twice the efficiency and 50% faster than traditional rack-scale CPUs.
As reasoning and agentic AI advances, scale, performance and cost are increasingly driven by the infrastructure supporting the models that plan tasks, run tools, interact with data, run code and validate results.
The NVIDIA Vera CPU builds on the success of the NVIDIA Grace™ CPU , enabling organizations of all sizes and across industries to build AI factories that unlock agentic AI at scale. With the highest single-thread performance and bandwidth per core, Vera is a new class of CPU that delivers higher AI throughput, responsiveness and efficiency for large-scale AI services such as coding assistants, as well as consumer and enterprise agents.
Leading hyperscalers collaborating with NVIDIA to deploy Vera include Alibaba, CoreWeave, Meta and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, as well as global system makers Dell Technologies, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro and others. This broad adoption establishes Vera as the new CPU standard for the AI workloads that matter most for developers, startups, public-private institutions and enterprises — helping democratize access to AI and accelerating innovation.
“Vera is arriving at a turning point for AI. As intelligence becomes agentic — capable of reasoning and acting — the importance of the systems orchestrating that work is elevated,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The CPU is no longer simply supporting the model; it’s driving it. With breakthrough performance and energy efficiency, Vera unlocks AI systems that think faster and scale further.”
