Their marketing department is smoking a lot of hopium. I will now think of it as the ARM MatMul Unit.

Yeah seems like competing with your customers is a bad idea.

ARM naming a chip AGI is either the most confident product launch in history or the best marketing we have seen in years. Probably both.

I wonder if it's a joke like Arm-Generative-Intelligence or something like that.

It really is a choice for Arm to use their 2023 based mobile X4 cores instead of their current C1 Ultras for this. Hopefully they step up quickly

Waiting for ARM-AGI-2

They actually said it’s coming in 2027 and ARM-AGI-3 is marked as future https://xcancel.com/mecoscorner/status/2036510613350785418

This seems bad, doesn’t it? I already know that there has been friction between arm and their customers over higher licensing fees since the IPO just trying to put this in context.

I wonder what the people at Ampere are thinking right now

Wasn’t Ampere just bought by Softbank?

No, the Arm TPU is coming later.

I think the only ARM licensee going for the hyperscaler CPU market is Ampere. Amazon and Microsoft make CPUs for themselves and Nvidia’s are aimed exclusively at AI workloads driving their GPUs.
