Nvidia expects to start shipping systems on its next-generation GPU family in the second half of 2026.
The system has two main components: a CPU, called Vera, and a new GPU design, called Rubin. It's named after astronomer Vera Rubin.
Vera is Nvidia's first custom CPU design, the company said, and it's based on a core design they've named Olympus.
Previously when it needed CPUs, Nvidia used an off-the-shelf design from Arm. Companies that have developed custom Arm core designs, such as Qualcomm and Apple, say that they can be more tailored and unlock better performance.
The custom Vera design will be twice as fast as the CPU used in last year's Grace Blackwell chips, the company said.
