Maybe ARM sees a life for ARM outside of mobile? Someplace where you might need a lot of cores and a chiplet approach could play out.
I've heard rumours of AMD working on something like this. They're going to call it Zen1. Could be a total nothing burger though, we'll see.
- ahartmetz 2y agoARM haven't made all that much headway there. AMD designed an ARM ISA Zen 1, yes, but they didn't release it. I haven't heard anything about it since. I'd be not too surprised yet excited if AMD released an ARM Zen tomorrow, but there don't seem to be any recent rumors.
- SecretDreams 2y agoI was making a joke about how people also downplayed the benefits of chiplets when AMD released their Zen1 cpus. I am aware they also had an arm design cooking, but that wasn't the direction I was going. Apologies if this was a whoosh.
- sliken 2y agoYou mean like over half of hardware added to the amazon cloud in the last year? Graviton, now in it's 4th gen, seems to be doing quite well. I believe other large cloud providers are working on similar home grown arms. Or maybe all the apple desktops? (Imac, Studio, and Mini) Or maybe one of the largest HPC clusters on the top 500 list, fugaku? Was number 1 for several years. AMD had and killed an arm project, but rumors claim they are working on sound wave APU that has an arm chip combined with a GPU. Or similar Nvidia's GB10, which is their new AI dev kit the size of a mac mini with "1 petaflop" that combines 20 arm cores with a blackwell GPU. Seems like arm is doing just fine outside of mobile.
