Hot Chips 2026: Nvidia breaks down 88-core Vera CPU — spatial multithreading benchmarked, 1.2 TB/s SOCAMM2 memory, agentic workloads detailed, and more

Nvidia detailed its 88-core, single-socket Vera CPU design at Hot Chips 2026.

Vera uses spatial multithreading and a SOCAMM2-based LPDDR5X memory subsystem delivering up to 1.2 TB/s of bandwidth.

Nvidia highlighted performance in agentic AI tasks such as browser automation and code compilation, targeting differentiation from x86 data-center CPUs.
