Google unveils Axion, its first Arm-based CPU for data centers
GSMArena -

Today Google has announced its first Arm-based CPU for data centers, most likely responding to Amazon's Arm chips that power that giant's data centers. Google's chip is called Axion, and it was designed using Arm's Neoverse V2 CPU. Axion performs 30% better than the fastest general-purpose Arm-based instances available for cloud computing today, and also has 50% better performance and up to 60% better energy efficiency than "comparable current-generation x86-based instances", Google says. ...
