Though this is still a preview so another provider could swing it
Google looks set to become the first cloud provider to offer virtual machine instances powered by Ampere's 192-core AmpereOne datacenter chip, which Ampere is now pitching as a solution for AI inferencing workloads., and since then various cloud providers have been building out infrastructure based on it, according to Ampere, but Google is the first to announce AmpereOne-powered compute-optimized C3A instances for public access.
"C3A instances are powered by AmpereOne, so this is pretty significant for us because this is the first time that somebody is making publicly available AmpereOne to a bunch of end users," Ampere chief product officer Jeff Wittich told us. Cloud providers are Ampere's target market so it is focused on their requirements, with large numbers of single-threaded cores optimized to run many workloads in parallel with predictable performance.
However, with AI still the hot topic of the moment, Ampere is keen to promote the suitability of its chips for processing AI workloads, or the inferencing part at least.
