CPU > GPU ? Vera : Rubin
Nvidia’s graphics processing units have been the hottest-selling chips for years, but the sudden advent of agentic artificial intelligence has brought on a renaissance for its more modest host chip, the central processing unit.
Now, Nvidia is poised to unveil new details about its agentic-optimized CPUs at its annual GTC conference that kicks off on Monday, with a CPU-only rack likely to appear on the showroom floor.
“CPUs are becoming the bottleneck in terms of growing out this AI and agentic workflow,” Dion Harris, Nvidia’s head of AI infrastructure, told CNBC this week, calling it an “exciting opportunity.”
