Is the Standard Server Rack Dead for Agentic AI? Dell delivers the first liquid-cooled NVIDIA Vera Rubin rack to CoreWeave, deploying custom Arm-based Vera CPUs to scale autonomous agent setup fully. Key Highlights Dell Technologies has shipped the first operational, liquid-cooled PowerEdge XE9812 server rack featuring the NVIDIA Vera Rubin architecture to CoreWeave. The custom platform packs 72 Rubin GPUs and 36 Arm-based Vera CPUs, achieving up to 3.6 exaFLOPS of total compute capacity. NVIDIA's newly launched Vera CPU utilizes 88 custom Olympus cores to accelerate data routing and eliminate traditional x86 processor bottlenecks. CoreWeave integrated proprietary software tools like Valvey and Racky to manage telemetry and ensure steady production-scale cloud orchestration. The architectural shift targets agentic AI applications, promising massive reductions in token costs and significant inference power savings.
