# Nvidia Unveils High-Performance Vera CPU October 30, 2026 at 12:08 PM > Nvidia's new Vera CPU features 88 custom Olympus cores and outperforms top Intel and AMD processors in SPEC CPU 2026 benchmarks. **Nvidia** has unveiled the **Vera CPU**, a high-performance processor built on the Armv9.2-A architecture. Featuring 88 custom **Olympus cores**, the chip utilizes spatial multithreading to support two threads per core and a 10-wide decode for efficient processing. The CPU employs the second-generation Scalable Coherency Fabric, a mesh distributing L3 cache with 3.4 TB/s bandwidth. It uses replaceable SOCAMM2 LPDDR5X memory at 9600 MT/s, delivering 1.2 TB/s of total bandwidth and 1.8 TB/s between dual-socket configurations. In SPEC CPU 2026 benchmarks, Vera outperformed the 512-thread **EPYC 9755** by 1.5% and the **Intel Xeon 6980P** by 8.6%. While leading in PyBench and ClickHouse tasks, it trails AMD and Intel in Zstd decompression and John The Ripper password cracking performance.
