Ampere Computing has announced a delay in the release of its highly anticipated 256-core CPU, originally slated for mid-2024. The processor, which utilizes TSMC's advanced 3nm process, is now expected to launch in 2025.

The new 256-core chip will feature a 12-channel memory architecture and aims to deliver 40% more performance than current market competitors, while maintaining Ampere’s hallmark energy efficiency. Designed for cloud computing and AI workloads, the processor will build on the success of the 192-core AmpereOne CPU.
Ampere continues to collaborate with Qualcomm to develop AI-centric solutions, leveraging its new processors for large language model inferencing. As the demand for efficient, high-performance chips grows in the cloud computing industry, Ampere’s delay reflects a continued focus on refining its technology to meet evolving power and performance needs
