Socionext, a custom chip developer from Japan, has announced one of the industry's first 32-core datacenter-grade chiplets, which is set to be made on TSMC's 2nm-class fabrication process. The proof-of-concept chiplet could be used for a wide variety of applications, including cloud datacenters, edge servers, 5G/6G infrastructure, and data processing units.
The server chiplet will pack 32 of Arm Neoverse datacenter-grade cores
Apple's release of Arm-based system-on-chips for its desktops and laptops three years ago demonstrated that such processors could offer competitive performance and power consumption. On the Windows-based PC front, only Qualcomm has offered Arm-based SoCs for notebooks in recent years, but it looks like it will soon be joined by AMD and NVIDIA, two notable players in the PC space, according to a Reuters report.
While neither AMD nor NVIDIA has confirmed plans to offer Arm-based SoCs for client PCs
Something to look forward to: After years of monotony and relative stasis in the PC industry, things are starting to change. And man, it's getting exciting again! Earlier this year, AMD launched the Ryzen 7040 , the first PC SoC with a built-in NPU (Neural Processing Unit) – otherwise known as an AI accelerator. Then a few weeks ago, Intel debuted its Core Ultra
