Nvidia says Vera runs 1.6x more agents per watt than the fastest x86

Nvidia said its Vera CPU runs 1.6x more agents per watt than the fastest x86 CPU in a 100-megawatt comparison, and 2x faster than the most energy-efficient x86 CPU. The company did not give a ship date.

Nvidia said Vera delivers 1.6x more agents per watt than the fastest x86 CPU, and 2x the agent speed of the most energy-efficient x86 CPU, in a 100-megawatt comparison. Perplexity said coding tasks ran 1.5x faster and plans a production deployment. Nvidia did not give a ship date.

Nvidia said on November 5 that its Vera CPU can run more AI agents per watt than the fastest x86 CPU, and finish agent work faster than the most energy-efficient x86 CPU. The comparison is a company benchmark, not a ship announcement. Nvidia did not give a price or a date when Vera would be generally available.
Vera delivers industry-leading agent speed while enabling 1.6x more agents per watt versus the fastest x86 CPU.
Vera delivers industry-leading agent speed while enabling 1.6x more agents per watt versus the fastest x86 CPU. In a 100-megawatt data center comparison, Nvidia said one Vera CPU beat both the fastest x86 CPU and the most energy-efficient x86 CPU. Against that second chip, Nvidia said Vera delivers 2x faster agent speed. Those are two different comparisons. The 1.6x figure is agents per watt versus the fastest x86 part. The 2x figure is speed versus the most efficient x86 part.

Early partners reported their own tests, and Nvidia did not present them as one shared benchmark. Perplexity said agentic coding tasks ran 1.5x faster on Vera than on traditional CPUs, and that it plans to deploy Vera in an upcoming production system. It did not say that system is live. DeepInfra said Vera reached up to 2.2x the speed of the best x86 processor on its production agent workload, and was the fastest of four architectures it tested.

Other results were about cores, queries, and sandboxes, not the 1.6x agent figure. ClickHouse said its standard binary, with no Vera-specific tuning, scaled near-linearly across 176 cores and topped the ClickBench hardware leaderboard. DuckLabs said Vera reached about 1.5x the median TPC-H SF1000 performance of an Intel Xeon 6 baseline. Daytona said it brought 1,000 agent sandboxes online in 10.8 seconds on Vera, against 88.4 seconds on x86, and completed 12.7 jobs per second at 2,000 concurrent sandboxes. Modal said it reached up to 2x sandbox throughput per core versus comparable x86 hardware.

This is a CPU claim, not the rack comparison Nvidia posted earlier. The company did not say Vera replaces a GPU, and it did not name a ship date. It said agents move between GPU reasoning and CPU execution, and that the CPU has to do that work inside a power limit.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

    Microsoft scopes AI agent access to the current task

    Microsoft said Dynamic Permissions gives each AI agent authority only for its current task, then can narrow that access as risk changes. The November 5 post does not call that feature generally available.
