Renee James has wowed the chip industry with a new ARM chip for data centers that has put Intel, her former company, on notice
Ampere, the company founded by former Intel exec Renee James two years ago, this week stunned the chip industry by releasing a record-breaking new ARM chip for data centers.
This could help them compete with Amazon's cloud. Amazon bought its own ARM chip maker and is using that chip in its own AWS cloud. "We started this company two years ago and in two short years, we've come out with a product in cloud that's a breakthrough," James told Business Insider. "The data center markets is growing so much, there's room for more than one winner. Intel has 98% + share. There's room for other players. There's always something that comes next," James says.ARM chips were originally designed for smartphones and tablets with a goal of using less battery life.
As you might imagine, when doing comparison testing, companies tend to set up the tests to make their own wares perform at the best. Ampere didn't use Intel or AMD's compiler but chose to a popular open source one called GCC. They argue that its a more real-world test, because that compiler is more widely used, especially in the ARM server world.
