Arm AGI CPU ➹

The fact that ARM, whose entire business model revolved around licensing CPU designs, has decided to actually go and build their own chips is remarkable by itself, but the design specs (and power envelope) are very interesting.

I have been keeping tabs on the dedicated inference hardware space ever since I got wind of Cerebras, and I like the idea of special purpose/optimized CPU designs that would remove (or at least lessen) our dependency on NVIDIA (and GPUs in general) to run AI models, because that is the way to make it cheaper, less power hungry and, eventually, desktop-sized.

I do find it stupid to refer to this as an AGI CPU, though.
