Arm claimed that the processor could provide more than twice the performance per rack of comparable x86 systems, although that figure is based on Arm’s internal estimates and depends on system configuration and workloads.
The AGI CPU contains up to 136 Neoverse V3 cores and has a 300 watt TDP. Arm’s reference design uses two processors in a 1U, two-node configuration, providing 272 cores per blade. A fully populated air-cooled rack can reach 8,160 cores, according to Arm, while a liquid-cooled configuration can exceed 45,000 cores per rack.
Arm said the AGI CPU is gaining support from companies across the AI and cloud ecosystem, including OpenAI, Meta, Cloudflare, Oracle, SAP, Lenovo, Supermicro, and Verda.
