- adrian_b 4y agoAlso in Microsoft Azure. So this is 4th win. The main companies that are missing from their customer list are Amazon and Alibaba. Both Amazon and Alibaba, have their own 64-big-cores or 128-medium-cores ARM server CPU designs (the 80 or 128 cores in Altra are medium cores), and both designs are superior to Altra in performance and also in ISA level support (Amazon Graviton 3 supports Armv8.4-A with SVE, while Alibaba Yitian 710 supports Armv9.0-A with SVE2). It remains to be seen whether the custom ARM cores on which the Ampere design team works for their next CPU generation will succeed to leapfrog the CPUs of Amazon and Alibaba (which are using cores licensed from the ARM company).
- raverbashing 4y agoAny Ampere vs M1/M2 comparisons I wonder...
- TradingPlaces 4y agoQuickly, what I found on Geekbench browser. 80 core Altra vs. Macbook Pro M2: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/15913010?baseline=14848780 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/15913010?baseli... Pretty much as I expected with M2 winning single core and Altra winning multi. But if you look at the individual multicore tests, certain ones the M2 seems to be optimized for (camera, PDF rendering), and it blows away Altra. Probably the audio-video-photo units on the M2. Really not the best comparison, imo, because they are built for different ends. Still interesting
