Ampere Computing announces a new independent architecture processor brand Ampere One

by ddos ·

In addition to Qualcomm and other companies beginning to resume independent architecture research and development, Ampere Computing, which currently builds server processor products with the Arm Neoverse N1 architecture, officially announced that it will use Ampere One as the brand name of its own architecture processors in the future.

Ampere One will use a completely independent architecture design, not using Arm standard architecture design, only using Arm instruction set authorization, and built with TSMC’s 5nm FinFET process, supporting PCIe 5.0 ports and DDR5 memory.

“Today, we are letting all of you know that we have been sampling our newest product, Ampere One,” said Renee James, founder, chairman, and CEO of Ampere Computing. “Ampere one is an Ampere core-based 5 nm product that supports PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 on the platform. We are excited about the initial feedback and performance our customers are experiencing with our latest Ampere cloud native processor.”

In the past, Ampere Computing continued to design with the Arm standard architecture to create computing processors used on the server-side, last year, it announced that it would launch self-developed processor products to reduce the dependence on Arm architecture design and provide performance that better meets the needs of specific computing fields.

In addition to Ampere Computing, Qualcomm, Apple, and other manufacturers are currently inclined to independent architecture design, thereby creating different market demands for processor computing performance, and at the same time, it can also generate higher software and hardware integration benefits with their own products or related applications. At present, Apple has authorized the creation of many A-series processors with independent architectures through the Arm instruction set, at the same time, it also builds Apple Silicon processor products for PC computing needs. Qualcomm also plans to build independent architecture processors with higher computing performance for PC and other market areas by acquiring Nuvia assets.
