Ampere Computing TM / 4655 Great America Parkway, Suite 601 / Santa Clara, CA 95054 / amperecomputing.com Our vision Ampere’s vision is to set the new standard for cloud and edge servers and reset expectations for high performance and a better total cost of ownership. Our story At Ampere, we believe it is time for a new hardware technology that is focused on software with greater speed and efficiency. Inventing what comes next requires a fresh look at everything from the structure of memory and how efficient the system is, to speed considerations, the cost of electricity and the ability to cool. Power, size, weight and cost are driving the technology requirements and the innovation to come. Ampere employees are innovators with a deep understanding of the requirements of cloud computing and different software environments. Our world class team of engineers, with decades of experience and expertise in the cloud and semiconductor industries, is focused on the development of new designs and building the first software ecosystem for Arm®-based server processors. The Ampere approach to the cloud and edge gives customers the freedom to challenge the status quo and accelerate next-generation data centers for the most memory-intensive applications. With an entrepreneurial spirit, our engineers are addressing industry challenges in the areas of security, power and performance and are committed to delivering results that matter most to our customers. Products built for the cloud Our Ampere eMAG™ cloud solutions deliver advantages through our high-performance cores, high-speed connectivity, memory throughput, and enterprise grade reliability. These solutions raise the bar on retrieve-and-compute capability in an existing data center footprint while lowering power and operating costs substantially. The Ampere eMAG platform offers significant total cost of ownership (TCO) value with competitive performance per dollar and performance per watt for high-volume mainstream servers used for edge, storage and web applications. The Ampere eMAG processor is the first in our multi-generation, high-performance product roadmap. Ampere eMAG Processor Features: 32 Ampere-designed Armv8-A cores running up to 3.3 GHz Turbo Eight DDR4-2667 memory controllers 42 lanes PCIe 3.0 for high bandwidth I/O 125W TDP for maximum power efficiency TSMC 16nm FinFET process FOUNDED IN OCTOBER 2017 Chief Executive Officer: Renée James HEADQUARTERS 4655 Great America Pkwy, Ste. 601 Santa Clara, CA 95054 Tel: +1408-542-8600 Fax: +1408-542-8601
