NVIDIA unveils AI‑focused Vera CPU, RTX Spark superchip and Isaac GR00T robot platform at Computex 2026

NVIDIA announced several new hardware products aimed at the emerging “agentic AI” market at Computex 2026 in Taipei. The company introduced Vera, a 88‑core CPU built on the Olympus architecture for handling the CPU bottleneck of AI agents, claiming up to 1.8 × faster performance than traditional x86 CPUs in relevant workloads. NVIDIA also launched the RTX Spark super‑chip, a system‑on‑chip that combines a 20‑core ARM Grace CPU, a Blackwell GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and up to 128 GB of unified memory, delivering roughly one petaflop of AI compute for local execution of large language models and autonomous agents. In addition, NVIDIA presented the Isaac GR00T platform – an open‑source reference design for humanoid robots that integrates a Unitree H2 Plus robot, five‑fingered hands, and the Jetson Thor computing module, targeting research labs and universities. Early adopters for Vera include Anthropic, OpenAI and major cloud providers, while RTX Spark will appear in PCs from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and others later in 2026. The Isaac GR00T system will be used by institutions such as Stanford, ETH Zürich and the University of California‑San Diego.
