Server CPU designer Ampere Computing announced its AmpereOne chip family will grow to 256 cores by next year. And the company will also work with Qualcomm on cloud AI accerlators.
The new Ampere centralized processing unit (CPU) will provide 40% more performance than any CPU currently on the market, said chief product officer Jeff Wittich, in an interview with VentureBeat.
Santa Clara, California-based Ampere will work with Qualcomm Technologies to develop a joint solution for AI inferencing using Qualcomm Technologies’ high-performance, low power Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 inference solutions and Ampere CPUs.
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.”
Data center energy efficiency
Data centers are consuming too much energy.
James said the industry faces the growing problem of the rapid advance to AI: energy.
“The current path is unsustainable. We believe that the future datacenter infrastructure has to consider how we retrofit existing air-cooled environments with upgraded compute, as well as build environmentally sustainable new datacenters that fit the available power on the grid. That is what we enable at Ampere,” James said.
Wittich echoed James’ comments.
Ampere has teamed up with Qualcomm and OEMs like Super Micro.
“Why did we build a new CPU? It was to solve the growing power problem in data centers — the fact that data centers are consuming more and more power. It’s been a problem. But it’s even a bigger problem today than it was a couple of years ago because now we have AI as a catalyst to go and consume even more power,” Wittich said. “It’s critical that we create solutions that are more efficient. We’re doing this in general purpose compute. We’re doing it in AI as well. It’s really imperative that we build broad horizontal solutions that involve a lot of ecosystem …
