- Nvidia detailed its Vera CPU for data centers, its first CPU built with a custom core design, featuring 88 cores and 176 threads.
- Vera is slated for general release in the second half of 2026 and represents Nvidia's first bid to become a key player in the data center CPU market.
Why it matters: Vera marks Nvidia's first custom-core CPU for data centers, with 88 cores and a H2 2026 release — a direct proprietary entry into a CPU market Nvidia previously did not address with its own core silicon.
