    Nvidia is using its Arm-based Vera CPU with Cadence and Synopsys to accelerate EDA for its next CPUs and GPUs, per the article, a loop where AI hardware speeds its own successors. A named vendor putting its own silicon to work on design tools is direct evidence of the self-reinforcing chip-design loop.
