Former Intel President Launches ARM Company Ampere
Intel's x86 silicon architecture has been a dominating force in data center and enterprise servers for a long time, but now a former Intel president wants that to change.
On Feb. 5, former Intel president Renee James officially launched her new venture called Ampere. The new company uses ARM server processor to enable a new generation of server architectures fro hyperscale cloud computing. James worked ad intel from 1998 until February 2016.
"We have an opportunity with cloud computing to take a fresh approach with products that are built to address the new software ecosystem," James stated. “The workloads moving to the cloud require more memory, and at the same time, customers have stringent requirements for power, size and costs."
