I think the only ARM licensee going for the hyperscaler CPU market is Ampere. Amazon and Microsoft make CPUs for themselves and Nvidia’s are aimed exclusively at AI workloads driving their GPUs.
- JR1427 8mo agoAWS Graviton and Microsoft Cobalt are arm-based.
- rbanffy 8mo agoI know, but I can't buy a Cobalt or Graviton workstation. Ampere has been the only way I could lay my hands on a nice workstation-grade ARM chip (unless you count Apple, but they also don't sell chips)
- adrian_b 8mo agoThey use ARM cores designed by the Arm company, but the complete chips are designed by AWS/Microsoft. Ampere had previously used cores designed by Arm, but their latest CPUs (which do not impress much) use a custom core, like the Apple and Qualcomm CPUs.
