· Ampere™ Altra™是可前后兼容的处理器产品组合，将最新推出业内首款拥有最多内核数量（128个）的系列产品—— Ampere™ Altra Max™

· 为优化在特定工作负载下的性能、满足不同客户需求，Ampere 的云原生处理器系列推出了不同的产品

· 拥有128个内核的Ampere Altra Max与拥有80个内核的Ampere Altra处理器兼容

· Ampere将在2020年第四季度提供Altra Max样品

2020年6月24日，安晟培半导体科技有限公司（Ampere Computing）今日公布了其 Ampere Altra处理器系列的未来发展规划。今年3月，Ampere发布的“首款云原生处理器”Ampere Altra，拥有80个64位ARM 处理器内核。今天，Ampere披露了其云原生处理器系列产品的扩展成员Ampere Altra Max的初步信息，该产品将拥有128个内核，能够为客户提供优化的云计算处理器，实现单芯片整体性能以及机架内核部署密度的最大化。

 

采用Ampere Altra Max的应用将充分发挥横向扩展和弹性云架构优势。它兼容Ampere 80核的Altra处理器，并支持双路服务器平台。此外，它还将为行业带来最高的插槽级性能和I/O可扩展性。预计将在今年的第四季度提供Altra Max样品以及更多详细内容。

 

Ampere 创始人兼首席执行官 Renee James（詹睿妮）女士表示：“我们在今年3月推出了业界首款云原生处理器——80核处理器 Ampere Altra。 今天，我们宣布扩展Ampere Altra产品系列，推出第一个128核处理器，并于第四季度提供样品。我们深知需要推出不同的产品来满足客户的需求，并且能够达到在特定工作负载下的最优性能。很高兴与大家分享我们的快速进展，坚守我们的承诺，持续为客户提供性能和能效处于业内领先的产品。”

 

Ampere近期完成了用于内部验证的5nm测试芯片的流片，以实现每年提供新产品节奏的承诺。

 

Ampere Altra系列提供了解决各种工作负载的灵活性，并且Ampere正在与生态系统中的伙伴合作，以满足客户的特定需求。

 

此外，目前一些客户已经开始提供基于Ampere Altra的平台。
