Ampere, a new chip company run by former Intel president Renee James, came out of stealth today with a brand-new highly efficient Arm-based server chip targeted at hyperscale data centers.

The company's first chip is a custom core Armv8-A 64-bit server operating at up to 3.3 GHz with 1TB of memory at a power envelope of 125 watts. Although James was not ready to share pricing, she promised that the chip would offer unsurpassed price/performance that would exceed any high performance computing chip out there.

The company has a couple of other products in the works as well, which it will unveil in the future.

    you aren't aware of quite how much nonsense you're spouting

    My awareness is probably higher than you think :) Saying that this cheapie chip (it was less than $100 board and all) compares to Ampere's 8th wonder of the world is, however, probably not much more ridiculous than Ampere saying that their chip is "unsurpassed" by anything on the market. That's kind of the point, that I admittedly made poorly.
