AI BriefingNVIDIA Begins Mass Shipment of Agent-Specialized CPU 'Vera'
Key point
NVIDIA has begun mass shipments of its agent-AI-optimized CPU 'Vera' to customers including AWS and Oracle.
Details
NVIDIA announced that it has started mass shipments of Vera, its first CPU specialized for agentic AI workloads. The product is designed to handle the CPU load generated as models move beyond simple responses to acting.
Vera Architecture and Performance
Vera features 88 custom-designed Olympus cores from NVIDIA. It supports a memory bandwidth of 1.2TB/s, delivering up to 1.8x higher per-core performance for agentic AI workloads. This optimization efficiently handles the pressure exerted on the CPU by concurrently running real-time tasks, surpassing traditional core-density-centric designs.
Major Customer Supply Status
NVIDIA Vice President Ian Buck personally delivered the first Vera CPU servers and Vera Rubin GPUs to AWS in Seattle. Building on a 16-year partnership with NVIDIA, AWS plans to procure an additional 2 million GPUs and build Vera-based infrastructure.
Previously, Vice President Ian Buck also personally delivered Vera CPU systems to major AI labs including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI, driving ecosystem expansion.
