NVIDIA Vera CPU Is Now Shipping, AWS Gets Its First Server
NVIDIA published a post on its own blog titled "Delivering Vera: NVIDIA's First CPU Built for Agents Is Shipping Now". Everything below comes from that post.
Transcript
NVIDIA's Vera CPU is now shipping at scale. Amazon Web Services received its first Vera server.
Vera has eighty eight Olympus cores, one point two terabytes per second memory bandwidth, and up to one point eight times faster per core performance.
Those gains apply to agentic AI workloads. Sandboxes, tool calls, orchestration layers, and long context retrieval are CPU work, not GPU work.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure plans to deploy hundreds of thousands of Vera CPUs beginning in twenty twenty six, the first cloud at hyperscale.
In Vera Rubin systems, Vera is the host processor for two Rubin GPUs. Every figure here comes from NVIDIA's own blog post.
