of the devices and offered more info about its specs: 128 Armv9-compatible CPU cores, clock speed of up to 3.2GHz, eight DDR5 channels and 96 PCIe 5.0 lanes, all cooked up on a 5nm process., the cloud operator revealed the CPUs have already been pressed into service"on a large scale in the Alibaba Cloud datacenter," where they're powering workloads for Alibaba"and many internet technology companies.
To do so, the operation must be confident that plenty of the open source software its customers need – as well as Alibaba Cloud's own code – will have been ported to Arm architecture and proven to work at scale. As amply demonstrated by Azure, Oracle Cloud and Google Cloud adopting Ampere CPUs for some of their servers, plenty of useful code is already Arm-ready.
Yet none of those clouds, nor AWS with its homebrew Graviton silicon, have set a 20 percent Arm target.
