Chip designer Arm has developed its first in-house processor, AGI CPU, designed specifically for agentic AI systems, which are smarter systems that can take proactive actions without human input or supervision without human oversight. This could accelerate the adoption and widespread use of agentic AIs, bringing AI closer to what people would expect from virtual assistants. The AGI PC uses a custom design including 3-nanometer process nodes, 136 Neoverse V3 cores, memory bandwidth of 6 gigabytes per second per core, and more than double the performance per server rack from traditional x86 processors. The processor is designed with the specific needs of running AI in action, known as inference. It is also designed to provide better performance and efficiency than classical CPUs that use the x86 architecture. As AI continues to transition from training LLMs to actively deploying agents, there will be an increased need for CPU-based processing power in data centers, this is expected to drive a significant increase in demand. If Arm can deliver more power-efficient AI inference, it could disrupt chipmakers like Nvidia, which has its own Arm-based processors and AMD, which already has its licensed processors.
