1. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the best stocks to buy for next-gen data centers. On May 18, the company said its first Vera CPU systems had been delivered to Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. NVIDIA described Vera as its first custom CPU, purpose-built for agentic AI workloads, including tool-calling, orchestration, reinforcement learning, data analytics, agent sandboxing, and long-context state management.

The launch fits NVIDIA’s effort to shape a full AI data center architecture, not just sell GPUs into it. Vera has 88 custom Olympus cores, 1.2 TB/s of memory bandwidth, and 50% faster per-core performance under full load, according to NVIDIA. The company said Oracle Cloud Infrastructure plans to deploy hundreds of thousands of Vera CPUs beginning in 2026, making OCI the first cloud provider to deploy Vera at hyperscale. NVIDIA also said Vera is part of its broader co-design stack alongside Rubin GPUs, BlueField 4 DPUs, Spectrum-X, and MGX rack architecture, with Vera serving as the host processor for Vera Rubin NVL72 systems.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) develops GPUs, CPUs, AI accelerators, networking products, software, and full-stack computing platforms for data centers, gaming, professional visualization, automotive, robotics, and other markets.
