NVIDIA has revealed the name of its next processors

A small note in NVIDIA’s server-focused blog quietly confirmed the name of its next custom CPU core: Rigel. Rather than a rumor, the label appears in the company’s own post, and it’s meant to power the forthcoming Rosa processors that will replace current parts inside the Feynman platform (i.e., the DC-focused AI stack).

Today’s Vera chips — paired with Rubin GPUs — run 88 Olympus cores. The plan is for Rosa to switch to Rigel cores as Feynman shifts toward workloads tied to autonomous AI agents (e.g., agent-based systems). NVIDIA’s schedule lists a data-center launch in 2028, with a consumer arrival via RTX Spark for high-end PCs and Windows laptops around 2029–2030. As always, these dates are planned targets and may change.
