Nvidia to use Vera CPU in next-generation CPU and GPU design, work with EDA firms

Nvidia said on July 27 it will use its Nvidia Vera CPU to accelerate the design of next-generation CPUs and GPUs. The company said it is optimising key electronic design automation applications with Cadence and Synopsys, and early tests showed up to 1.5 times better performance for major verification and simulation workloads. Nvidia said it is rolling Vera across EDA workflows used in its next-generation development.

Nvidia RTX graphics cards may rise again as memory price hike rumours rattle PC industry

Nvidia RTX graphics card prices could rise again as reports suggest the company is pushing to raise prices for GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory kits used in its GPUs. The move is linked to a prolonged memory supply crunch that is lifting manufacturing costs across the PC industry. Any change has not been confirmed for consumers, but higher kit prices could push up production costs and retail prices. Similar pressure is also affecting other PC product categories.

Nvidia steps up next-generation chip design with in-house Vera CPU

Nvidia is deploying its in-house Vera CPU in semiconductor design processes to accelerate development of next-generation chips. The company said it worked with Cadence and Synopsys to optimise core electronic design automation applications. As chip design grows more complex, key EDA workloads such as logic simulation and formal verification still rely heavily on CPU performance. In tests, Cadence Jasper and Synopsys VCS delivered up to 1.5 times higher performance on some workloads with the same core count.
