Ampere unveils 512-core AmpereOne Aurora chip with integrated AI acceleration
Arm server chip upstart Ampere Computing took the wraps off its next generation of products, which will reach 512 cores in the next few years and offer an AI call processing unit.
But don’t be planning to place an order just yet. This next generation processor, dubbed Aurora, is not due until 2026. For now, the AmpereOne currently shipping has 192 cores, with the 256-core AmpereOne MX due next year. Ampere’s AI processor will also be a part of Aurora.
“For the first time, using our own Ampere AI IP that we integrate directly into the SOC via our interconnect [and] also high bandwidth memory attached to this platform, we are really addressing those key critical AI use cases, starting with inference, but also scaling into training as well,” said Jeff Wittich, chief product officer at Ampere Computing, on a conference call with the press.
