  "summary": "Nvidia has secured a design win with its Vera CPUs through the AI cloud provider Modal. While Modal currently relies exclusively on AMD and Intel processors, preliminary evaluations indicated that the Vera CPUs could deliver twice the throughput of its existing processors. Modal stated it does not intend to stop using CPUs from its current suppliers.\n\nThe move comes as the emergence of agentic AI creates a need for increased CPU resources to handle software execution and data processing tasks that cannot be efficiently managed by GPUs.\n\nSeparately, XDA Developers reports that Nvidia has promised that every game or app ever made will run on RTX Spark laptops. While Windows on Arm uses the Prism translation layer to run non-native programs, this process can create issues for many existing anti-cheat systems that run in kernel mode.",
