ASUS unveiled the XA P2N-E2, a 2U server built on NVIDIA MGX architecture and powered by dual NVIDIA Vera CPUs, at OCP Global Summit 2026 in San Jose, California, on October 12, 2026. In a press release, the company said the system is designed for agentic AI and reinforcement learning workloads.
According to the release, the server targets the execution layer of AI applications, handling code execution, tool use, sandboxing, data processing and orchestration, work that extends beyond the AI model itself. The XA P2N-E2 supports up to two dual-slot NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, combining CPU computing with GPU acceleration in the 2U platform. ASUS said the system’s single-thread CPU performance and high-bandwidth, energy-efficient memory are intended to keep AI agents responsive during demanding execution and evaluation tasks.

The XA P2N-E2 product page, which carries a “NEW” designation, lists dual NVIDIA Vera processors, each integrating 88 custom Olympus cores with Spatial Multithreading for 176 threads, at up to 480W TDP per socket. ASUS describes Vera as the first CPU purpose-built for AI agents: under the workflow ASUS outlines, the CPU handles sandboxed code execution, tool use, orchestration and data processing while GPUs remain dedicated to training and inference.
