Data centers and enterprises face critical challenges in today’s demanding tech landscape. Rising energy costs push companies to seek more power-efficient solutions to meet sustainability and cost targets. The need for scalable compute density is also growing to keep pace with increasingly complex applications and cloud-native workloads. With the rise of AI and machine learning, organizations require infrastructure that can support both traditional compute and AI acceleration without breaking the bank.

AmpereOne®, with strategic platform support by Supermicro, Gigabyte, and ASRock Rack, is engineered to solve these challenges. Backed by an extensive network of industry partnerships and strengthened by the AI Platform Alliance, AmpereOne is designed for today’s data center demands.

Addressing Efficient, Scalable Compute, and AI-Driven Workloads
AmpereOne’s architecture directly addresses these demands with leadership capabilities in power efficiency, scalable compute density, and accelerated AI resources. These strengths empower data centers and enterprises to adapt to modern computing requirements with a versatile, high-performance solution.

• Power Efficiency Means Cost Savings: AmpereOne’s power-efficient architecture directly addresses financial and sustainability pressures. By optimizing for low power consumption, it improves the energy footprint and achieves significant cost savings. Outperforming traditional x86 systems in both efficiency and performance by up to 90%, AmpereOne is an ideal solution for enterprises focused on sustainable growth.
• Scalable, High-Density Compute: AmpereOne’s high core count and linear scalability allow organizations to maximize compute density within racks, rows and entire data centers. With up to 192 cores, AmpereOne supports dense virtualized and containerized applications without extensive infrastructure alterations required for direct liquid cooling or other expensive and exotic thermal mitigations. Scalability is crucial for cloud-native and high-performance computing environments because scale-out elastic services rely on predictable execution for every process which AmpereOne delivers in abundance.
• AI Readiness for Modern Workloads: Designed for AI-intensive applications, AmpereOne supports many AI instances running in parallel on the same processor for large language models (LLMs) and smaller language models (SLMs) or traditional ML workloads. For AI models that need larger memory and compute footprints, AmpereOne platforms support 128 lanes of PCIe Gen5, capacity for dense multi-card accelerator configurations that balance general-purpose processing with AI-specific tasks. This flexibility allows organizations to handle AI inference and large-scale data processing efficiently on a single platform, eliminating the need for costly GPUs in power hungry space inefficient hardware.
