More than six years ago, Arm launched the Arm Neoverse platform for next-generation cloud infrastructure, firmly believing that the scalable performance level brought by this flexible and energy-efficient computing platform can drive systematic changes in the functionality and cost of data center ecosystems.

Nowadays, the deployment of Neoverse technology has reached new heights: by 2025, nearly 50% of the computing power shipped to top ultra large scale cloud service providers will be based on Arm architecture.

In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), the cloud computing landscape is undergoing fundamental reshaping. The complex training and inference workload has given rise to endless computing power demands and placed enormous pressure on cloud data centers. Given that the number of AI servers is expected to grow by over 300% in the coming years, high energy efficiency will no longer be a competitive advantage, but will become a fundamental requirement in the industry. Nowadays, the power consumption units considered in data center design have jumped from the megawatt level to the gigawatt level. In this context, energy efficiency directly determines the profitability of data centers. The relentless pursuit of high energy efficiency is the consistent genetic inheritance of Arm's development over the past 35 years.

Empowering leading chip solutions

Based on the Neoverse platform, Arm has opened up a strategic path for market leading partners, helping them develop a chip technology roadmap to adapt to insights gained from large-scale software operations, and achieve unprecedented overall systematic optimization for data centers. As a result, the top ten global cloud service providers are actively developing chips based on Arm architecture and deploying them in their own data centers.

Large scale cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure have all adopted the Arm computing platform to create their own custom chips to change the way energy is used in data centers and cloud computing. Some use cases show that chips based on Arm architecture have achieved up to 60% energy efficiency improvement compared to previous generation products. The technological advantage of Arm lies in its ability for enterprises to optimize chips based on their own infrastructure and internal and hosted software workloads.

In addition, the Arm computing platform provides flexibility for partners to create a new generation of customized and differentiated chip solutions for AI. For example, NVIDIA's Grace Blackwell supercomputer for AI infrastructure combines NVIDIA Blackwell GPU accelerated computing architecture with Grace CPU based on Arm Neoverse platform, and integrates ultra-high bandwidth consistent mesh network. This system is tailored specifically for AI workloads and can achieve unparalleled performance.

The strong demand for this customized AI chip in the market can be seen from NVIDIA's recent data release: the top four ultra large scale cloud service providers in the United States alone have ordered 3.6 million Blackwell chips. The Grace CPU based on the Arm Neoverse platform is an important component that meets this huge demand, providing the required computing power and efficiency for modern AI and data center applications.

Seamless software innovation

The universal chipsets launched by Arm partners, such as AWS's Graviton, Google Cloud's Axion, and Microsoft Azure's Cobalt, enable software developers to build applications on the Arm platform and enjoy efficiency and performance optimization advantages. Thanks to the significant advantages of Arm architecture in total cost of ownership (TCO) and energy efficiency, popular global applications such as Paramount+, Spotify, and Uber are migrating to Arm based cloud computing infrastructure, and this trend is constantly expanding. At the same time, leading global data platform companies including Oracle and Salesforce are also migrating their services to Arm based infrastructure.

From the cloud to the edge, Arm architecture builds the foundation of the industry

With high energy efficiency becoming the top industry focus, today's cloud computing and data centers, from chips to software, prioritize the use of Arm architecture for design. Arm is ubiquitous from the cloud to the edge, and its unparalleled range and scale of applications bring new possibilities for innovation, efficiency, and capability expansion. Arm is at the core of all computing fields, leading and defining the AI era. Arm is the cornerstone of future computing.
