Ampere this week introduced its AmpereOne processors for cloud datacenters that happen to be the industry's first general-purpose CPUs with up to 132 that can be used for AI inference.
The new chips consume more power than their predecessors — Ampere Altra (which will remain in Ampere's stable for at least a while) — but the company claims that despite of higher power consumption, its processors with up to 192 cores provide higher computational density than CPUs from AMD and Intel. Some of those performance claims can be controversial.
