NVIDIA Vera
The CPU for agents.
Overview
The Max Single-Threaded CPU at Scale
NVIDIA Vera is built for the CPU work behind agentic AI and reinforcement learning (RL), including tool use, code execution, sandboxing, data processing, and orchestration. As both a host CPU for accelerated systems and a standalone CPU for AI factory workloads, Vera keeps GPUs fed, agents responsive, and training loops moving. With fast, energy-efficient NVIDIA Olympus cores and high-bandwidth LPDDR5X memory, Vera delivers up to 2x faster performance on critical agentic workloads, helping AI factories generate more tokens per dollar.
NVIDIA OpenShell Reference Architecture for Safe AI Agents
A full-stack, open architecture powered by the NVIDIA OpenShell secure runtime, Vera CPUs, Vera Rubin systems, and NVIDIA Sentry on BlueField-4.
NVIDIA Vera: The CPU for Agents
NVIDIA Vera is the CPU for agents, delivering 80% faster agentic task completion than x86 processors while handling the heavy CPU workloads behind modern AI factories—from reinforcement learning to data processing. It extends NVIDIA’s AI platform from GPU to CPU, powering standalone Vera servers, Vera Rubin systems, and Vera BlueField™-4 STX AI storage platforms.
Highlights
Industry-Leading Agentic CPU Performance
1.8x Faster Agentic Sandbox Performance
Agentic AI is bottlenecked by traditional CPUs. Across an agent's reasoning loop, the CPU compiles generated code, runs Python tool chains, and analyzes software code. NVIDIA Vera accelerates all three workloads by up to 1.8x over leading x86 CPUs, turbocharging the agentic inner loop to maximize AI factory output.
Relative performance based on measured data, and subject to change. NVIDIA Vera CPU with LPDDR5X performance baselined to latest generation x86 CPU.
Relative performance is based on measured and projected data and is subject to change. NVIDIA Vera CPU with LPDDR5X is baselined against the latest-generation x86 CPU with DDR5 across key CPU memory performance metrics.
High-Bandwidth, Energy-Efficient Memory
Traditional DDR5 forces a tradeoff between bandwidth, efficiency, and serviceability. NVIDIA Vera pairs LPDDR5X memory with SOCAMM, detachable, field-replaceable modules that deliver low-power (LP) efficiency with server-class flexibility and upgradable capacity. The result is 5x the bandwidth per watt of memory power compared to the leading x86 CPUs with DDR5 and 3x the bandwidth per core, unlocking greater AI factory output at hyperscale and enterprise scale.
