NVIDIA Vera CPU Tests Show 1.64x Faster Agent Workloads

Signal65, working with NVIDIA, tested the new Vera CPU on agentic workloads using 69 Terminal-Bench 2 tasks with one sandbox per core. Results show 1.64x per-core performance over x86 competitors, notable since much of an agent's session time is CPU-bound between model calls.
