New Ampere CPU will provide 40% more performance than any CPU currently on the market

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampere Computing today released its annual updateon upcoming products and milestones, highlighting the company's continued innovation and invention around sustainable, power efficient computing for the Cloud and AI. The company also announced that they are working with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to develop a joint solution for AI inferencing using Qualcomm Technologies' high-performance, low power Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 inference solutions and Ampere CPUs.

Semiconductor industry veteran and Ampere CEO Renee James said the increasing power requirements and energy challenge of AI is bringing Ampere's silicon design approach around performance and efficiency into focus more than ever. "We started down this path six years ago because it is clear it is the right path," James said. "Low power used to be synonymous with low performance. Ampere has proven that isn't true. We have pioneered the efficiency frontier of computing and delivered performance beyond legacy CPUs in an efficient computing envelope."

James continued to highlight the growing problem of the rapid advance to AI: energy. "The current path is unsustainable. We believe that the future data center infrastructure has to consider how we retrofit existing air-cooled environments with upgraded compute, as well as build environmentally sustainable new data centers that fit the available power on the grid. That is what we enable at Ampere."

Chief Product Officer Jeff Wittich shared Ampere's vision for what the company is referring to as "AI Compute", which incorporates traditional cloud native capabilities all the way to AI. "Our Ampere CPUs can run a range of workloads from the most popular cloud native applications to AI. This includes AI integrated with traditional cloud native applications, such as data processing, web serving, media delivery, and more."

James and Wittich also both highlighted the company's upcoming new AmpereOneplatform by announcing a 12-channel 256 core CPU is ready to go on the N3 process node.

Along with updates on the company's direction and vision, this year's update included several news highlights:
