Announcing Arm AGI CPU: The silicon foundation for the agentic AI cloud era

For the first time in our more than 35-year history, Arm is delivering its own silicon products – extending the Arm Neoverse platform beyond IP and Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) to give customers greater choice in how they deploy Arm compute – from building custom silicon to integrating platform-level solutions or deploying Arm-designed processors.

Top 5 Reasons why CPU is the Best Processor for AI Inference

Advanced artificial intelligence (AI), like generative AI, is enhancing all our smart devices. However, a common misconception is that these AI workloads can only be processed in the cloud and data center. In fact, the majority of AI inference workloads, which are cheaper and faster to run than training, can be processed at the edge – on the actual devices.
