Qualcomm Collaborates With Ampere Computing on Artificial Intelligence, Unveils New Chip
Qualcomm and Ampere Computing have announced a collaboration to launch a new AI-focused server combining chips from both companies. Learn more about the development and the growing global interest in the AI boom.
- Ampere Computing is collaborating with Qualcomm to create cloud artificial intelligence accelerators.
- The new AI CPU chips are expected to provide an approximate 40% improvement over existing chips in the market.
Ampere Computing has announced a collaboration with Qualcomm to develop a new offering aimed at improving performance and reducing power costs in artificial intelligence operations. Ampere Computing uses Arm technology in its AI chips, which are used by several tech giants, including Google and Oracle.
Qualcomm, on the other hand, is known for producing smartphone chips. The company is looking to move into artificial intelligence offerings. Both companies are aiming for AI chips that are said to be more energy-efficient than the offerings currently in the market. While the combined offerings of Ampere Computing and Qualcomm cannot compete with NVIDIA chips that are used to train AI models, they can run AI models in the post-training phase.
