NVIDIA just dropped their new Vera CPUs — apparently 2x faster than x86

According to them, this is the very first Arm-based chip that's actually built from the ground up for agentic AI and reinforcement learning. GF Securities put out some analytical data showing that Vera gets 1.5x faster data processing speeds and double the performance compared to Intel and AMD’s x86 alternatives. On the spec side, we're looking at 88 customized Olympus cores and a massive 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth. They are projecting NVIDIA will ship about 1.2 million units in fiscal year 2027, and that number is supposed to jump to 4.2 million by 2028. Visibility for standalone Vera CPU sales is already hitting around $20 billion for this year. They also showed off the new Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, which packs 72 GPUs and 36 CPUs into a single system. Some of the first big customers lined up are Meta, Oracle, Alibaba, and CoreWeave. Hardware vendors like Dell, Cisco, HPE, Lenovo, and Supermicro are planning to launch these systems in the second half of 2026. Vera entering the market pretty much accelerates the shift away from x86 dominance in data centers and really sets a new standard for integrated AI infrastructure.
