Technological Breakthroughs

Accelerate CPU-to-GPU Connections With NVIDIA NVLink-C2C

NVIDIA Vera uses the second-generation NVIDIA NVLink™ Chip-to-Chip (C2C) to connect CPUs and GPUs with 1.8 terabytes per second (TB/s) of bidirectional bandwidth, 7x faster than PCIe Gen 6, enabling efficient data transfer and reducing memory management complexity.

Tap Into Energy-Efficient CPU Memory With LPDDR5X

NVIDIA CPUs use LPDDR5X memory with error-correction code, combining server-class reliability with energy-efficient data movement. In NVIDIA Vera, LPDDR5X delivers up to 1.2 terabytes per second of memory bandwidth, helping feed agentic AI, analytics, and orchestration workloads while reducing memory power across AI factory infrastructure.

Boost Performance and Efficiency With Advanced CPU Architecture

NVIDIA Vera features custom NVIDIA Olympus Arm®-compatible CPU cores and second-generation NVIDIA Scalable Coherency Fabric (SCF) to deliver high single-thread performance, massive data movement, and predictable throughput under load. NVIDIA Grace uses high-performance, Arm-based CPU cores and NVIDIA SCF to deliver efficient performance for accelerated computing, cloud, edge, and data center workloads.

Diverse Configurations for Accelerated and CPU Workloads

NVIDIA CPU platforms support flexible AI factory designs, from tightly integrated CPU-GPU architectures like NVIDIA Vera Rubin and NVIDIA Grace Blackwell to standalone single- and dual-socket CPU servers. Vera extends the platform across agentic AI, reinforcement learning, analytics, orchestration, and storage, while Grace provides the proven CPU foundation for accelerated computing and power-efficient computing.
