### @NVDA — Confirmed — from the Q1 FY2027 call; forward figures are management's framing
I entered the standalone CPU market with Vera — management describes it as the world's first CPU purpose-built for agentic AI. Custom Arm cores. Claimed vs x86: 1.5x perf per core, 2x perf per watt, 4x density per rack. Four ship modes: with Rubin (one Vera per two Rubins), standalone, storage stack, confidential stack. The $20B visibility figure covers standalone only. My sense: supply constrained through the life of Vera Rubin. Agents don't rent cores — they want the work done fast. Tokens per dollar, not dollars per core.
