In exciting news, Ampere Computing has just announced the release of their new AmpereOne family of processors, boasting up to 192 single-threaded Ampere cores. This marks the first product from Ampere based on their new custom core, built from the ground up and leveraging the company’s internal intellectual property.
CEO Renee James, who founded Ampere Computing to offer a modern alternative to the industry with processors designed specifically for both efficiency and performance in the cloud, spoke about the need for a new approach in the industry. “The current driving uses are AI and connected everything combined with our continued use and desire for streaming media. We cannot continue to use power as a proxy for performance in the data center. At Ampere, we design our products to maximize performance at a sustainable power so we can continue to drive the future of the industry.”
In an interview with NeuralNation, Jeff Wittich, Chief Product Officer at Ampere, discussed the company’s focus on delivering better performance per rack and more efficiency, as well as good AI performance. Wittich also highlighted the company’s commitment to delivering a predictable and rapid cadence of products that lead the market in performance and efficiency.
With the release of AmpereOne, the company is broadening its portfolio while delivering further gains in performance, scalability, and efficiency. The processor is being manufactured on the 5nm process node and boasts 192 custom-designed Ampere cores, large cloud-optimized private caches, and new cloud features aimed at high-growth cloud usages like AI.
Ampere’s Cloud Native Processors offer a performance advantage of greater than two competing CPUs for AI inference due to their lower latency and higher throughput. Wittich said the processor can handle all sorts of tasks, and the company showed generative AI models like Stable Diffusion running on its processors at 2.3 times more frames per second than the rival Genoa processors.
Ampere’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency is more important than ever, as the exponential growth of compute has resulted in competition for power resources between data centers and critical commercial and residential developments. “Sustainability is no longer just part of an ESG effort – it is critical to all future compute growth,” said James.
