According to Bloomberg, Nvidia announced at Computex in Taiwan that Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX will be among the first users of its Vera data center CPU, set for full production in the third quarter. Vera is Nvidia's first standalone data center microprocessor, featuring an 88-core custom Arm design.
Nvidia claims Vera is 1.8x faster on AI-related workloads than Intel-based x86 chips, though independent benchmark results have not been disclosed. Vera will compete with Intel's Xeon, Advanced Micro Devices' Epyc, and Amazon's Graviton. Nvidia plans to offer both CPU-only Vera racks and GPU-linked systems.
