In a Bloomberg Power On interview, NUVACORE co-founder Gerard Williams III described the company's effort to develop powerful, energy-efficient CPUs for AI data centers. Williams said NUVACORE's “Core First” approach does not commit to x86, ARM or RISC-V at the core-design stage. According to IT之家, Williams also said AI tools reduced early performance modeling and design evaluation from seven to 12 months to two to three months; the report did not provide independent verification of that figure. Williams, who worked on Apple processors from the A7 through M1, argued that CPUs remain necessary alongside GPUs for memory scheduling, security, operating-system execution and serial tasks.
