Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Unveils $200B Market for New CPU Product Vera
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has made another bold claim, stating that the company's new CPU product, Vera, has unlocked a "brand new" $200 billion market for Nvidia.
According to Huang, Vera is purpose-built for agentic AI and robotic physical AI, opening up a new market for Nvidia. The company has already sold $20 billion worth of standalone Vera CPUs this year, and Huang believes that the world will have billions of agents that will use these tools, much like PCs today.
The Vera CPU is designed to process tokens as fast as possible, a key requirement for agents that run on CPUs. This is in contrast to classic cloud architecture CPUs designed with "cores," or the ability to run multiple instances of apps as fast as possible.
While Nvidia is the king of the GPU, the company has historically not been a major player in the CPU market. However, with the rise of AI and robotic physical AI, Huang believes that Nvidia is well-positioned to capture a significant share of the market.
"The world is rebuilding computing for agentic AI and robotic physical AI," Huang said on the company's earnings call. "Nvidia sits at the center of these transitions."
Huang's optimism is not unfounded, given the company's record-breaking revenue and forecast for the next quarter. However, the CPU market is highly competitive, with major cloud providers and startups pursuing AI chip development.
What makes Nvidia think that it will be the go-to source for agentic CPUs? Huang believes that Nvidia's experience in the GPU market and its ability to design CPUs for specific use cases will give it a unique advantage.
"We're going to need a lot more CPUs," Huang said. "And those tools are going to be like PCs, just like us humans using using PCs today."
Only time will tell if Huang's vision for Nvidia will come to fruition, but the company's recent success and the growing demand for AI and robotic physical AI suggest that it is well-positioned for growth.
