# Nuvacore Unveils WarpCore CPU Development Model

September 30, 2026 at 08:30 AM

> CPU startup Nuvacore, led by former Apple and Qualcomm veterans, introduces its Core First strategy for the upcoming WarpCore processor.

CPU startup **Nuvacore**, founded by former [Apple](<https://hardwarebrief.com/entity/apple-inc-q312>), Nuvia, and Qualcomm veterans **Gerard Williams III**, John Bruno, and Ram Srinivasan, has unveiled its "Core First" development model. The firm is currently building a general-purpose processor codenamed **WarpCore**.

Led by SVP **David Williamson**, a former Apple CPU leader, Nuvacore's strategy prioritizes building foundational IP before selecting an ISA. While hiring for RISC-V, Arm64, and x86 roles, the firm has not yet finalized a specific architecture for WarpCore.

The startup is actively recruiting engineers for out-of-order execution, branch prediction, and memory subsystems. Though the Core First model is public, Nuvacore has not revealed the pipeline configuration, process node, or tape-out schedule for the chip.
