Discovering New Levels of Core Dense Systems

Once again, Ampere Computing pushes the envelope with CPU technology in its new range of in-house designed Arm-based processors, AmpereOne Family, with a CPU core count going beyond Ampere's prior gen that topped at 128 CPU cores. In this regard, there is no overlap with the preexisting product lines, Ampere Altra and Ampere Altra Max processors. This new generation of AmpereOne Family starts at 96 cores and goes up to 192 cores, completing the product line to fulfill every kind of application. While they don't have simultaneous multithreading (SMT) like x86 processors, the 1:1 ratio of cores to threads is more ideal for cloud-native workloads. Afterall, AmpereOne Family is squarely focused on cloud service providers.

"AmpereOne Family is about more. More cores, more I/O, more memory, more performance, more cloud features,” said Jeff Wittich, Chief Product Officer at Ampere. “With our Ampere Custom Cloud Native Cores, this is the next step in the break from the constraints of legacy compute. No other CPU comes close. It is about cloud scale with the maximum performance per rack.
