## AI overview

NVIDIA presents benchmark results for the Vera BlueField-4 STX Storage Processor in AI-native storage workloads. The results describe faster encryption and decryption, recovery, integrity checking, compression and decompression, and multi-stage storage processing than an x86 CPU, with lower CPU and power overhead.
