It also includes standalone installations of its Grace and Vera central processors.Nvidia introduced those central processors, based on technology from Arm Holdings, as companions to its AI chips starting 2023. But the announcement Tuesday signaled that Nvidia aims to push those chips for emerging fields such as running AI agents as well as into markets for processors used in workaday technical tasks such as running databases. Nvidia's announcement also comes as Meta is developing its own AI chips and is in discussions with Google about using that company's Tensor Processing Unit chips, or TPUs, for AI work.

Loading Ian Buck, the general manager of Nvidia's hyperscale and high-performance computing unit, said that Nvidia's Grace central processors have shown they can use half the power for some common tasks such as running databases, with more gains expected for the next generation, Vera."It actually continues down that path and makes it an excellent data center-only CPU for those high-intensity data processing back-end operations," Buck said. "Meta has already had a chance to get on Vera and run some of those workloads. And the results look very promising." While Nvidia has never disclosed its sales to Meta, it is widely believed to be among four customers that made up 61 per cent of its revenue in its most recent fiscal quarter. Moorhead said Nvidia likely highlighted the deal to show that it has retained a large business with Meta and is gaining traction with its central processor chips.
