Nvidia is challenging 20 years of datacenter CPU design with its new Vera chip

Nvidia unveiled Vera, a monolithic CPU delivering 3x core bandwidth and 40% lower latency, built for agentic GPU-to-CPU loops. It challenges 20 years of x86 design: per-core speed matters more than core count when every CPU stall idles expensive GPU resources.
