In October 2024, announced its AGI CPU designed for data center agentic AI workloads. The company claims the new processor delivers twice the performance per rack compared to the AMD EPYC 9755, based on a suite of seven specific performance workloads.
Arm developed a new evaluation methodology with , Meta, and , which was verified by Signal65. The AGI CPU showed a 20% average per-chip lead over AMD, including a 97% gain in fastText, though it lagged in MySQL and Milvus throughput tests.
The rack-level advantage stems from power efficiency, allowing 21 to 23 Arm servers per 24 kW rack versus 13 for AMD. While Signal65 reproduced the calculations within 0.5%, the independent analysis did not include a separate hardware rerun in a laboratory.
