AmpereOne: Cores Are the New MHz
are the new megahertz, at least for enterprise servers. We've gone quickly from 32, to 64, to 80, to 128, and now to 192-cores on a single CPU socket! Amazon built Graviton 4, Google built Axiom, but if you want your own massive Arm server, Ampere's the only game in town.
Two PCIe risers are lifted out of the way to expose the motherboard, the OCP 3 card slot, and a plastic shroud guiding airflow around the CPU and RAM. Elsewhere, there are extra power sockets for internal PCIe cards (e.g. workstation or enterprise GPUs), tidy cabling for NVMe slots, redundant BMC firmware, and... it's fairly well crammed in, being a short-depth server! But for whatever reason, the actual shipping CPUs didn't start rolling out until late this year, after AMD stole their thunder with 'Turin Dense'.
