And critically, AI factories are power limited. This means operators need to choose infrastructure that maximizes the work done for every watt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why it matters:<\/b> <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/data-center\/vera-cpu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NVIDIA Vera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> delivers both fast agent performance and high capacity per watt within a single CPU. That gives providers one CPU for a range of agent workloads, rather than having to mix and match fast and dense x86 parts to balance speed and capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The data that proves it:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In a 100-megawatt data center comparison, NVIDIA found that a single Vera CPU performs better than the fastest x86 CPU and the most energy-efficient x86 CPU.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vera delivers industry-leading agent speed while enabling <\/span><b>1.6x more agents per watt <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">versus the fastest x86 CPU.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vera delivers <\/span><b>2x faster agent speed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with leading energy efficiency compared with the most energy-efficient x86 CPU.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partners are already putting Vera to work.
