ARM

US server maker HPE is teaming up with one of the hottest chip startups on a product that could provide much needed competition to Intel.

The new AmpereOne chip, featuring up to 192 cores and a custom ARM-compatible design, is aimed at cloud providers and enterprises who build their own private clouds.

Arm is ubiquitous in mobile and popular for laptops. Customization and price advantages mean it deserves a second look in the data center, as well.

For 11 years OCP has been changing the ways that data centers are constructed and operate by putting data center operators and their suppliers under a single roof.

The EU’s analysis shows that the acquisition “could lead to restricted or degraded access” to Arm’s intellectual property, EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement on Wednesday.

A recent assessment of the deal ordered by regulators reportedly contains worrying implications for national security.
