NVIDIA bets on Vera CPU to boost AI data-center speed
NVIDIA introduced Vera, its first standalone data-center CPU, claiming it runs AI workloads 1.8 times faster than x86 chips; production starts in Q3 as Nvidia expands beyond GPUs into the AI infrastructure stack. Vera will compete with Intel Xeon, AMD Epyc and AWS Graviton, and Nvidia also expanded its DSX software for energy efficiency; Dell will offer DGX Station on Windows later this year, with Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX named among Vera’s first major users.
