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 &#8220;comparable current-generation x86-based instances&#8221;, Google says.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"826\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/google-axion-cpu-announcement\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Google unveils Axion, its first Arm-based CPU for data centers\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Soon, Google services like BigTable, Spanner, BigQuery, Blobstore, Pub\/Sub, Google Earth Engine, and the YouTube Ads platform will all be using Axion. The fit is obviously good once you consider that Axion delivers &#8220;giant leaps in performance for general-purpose workloads like web and app servers, containerized microservices, open-source databases, in-memory caches, data analytics engines, media processing, CPU-based AI training and inferencing&#8221;, the company says.<\/p>\n<p>Underpinning Axion is Titanium, which Google bills as a system of purpose-built custom silicon microcontrollers and tiered scale-out offloads, which take care of platform operations like networking and security, so Axion processors themselves have more capacity and improved performance as a consequence.<\/p>\n<p>Arm CEO Rene Haas said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"small-blockquote\"><p>Google\u2019s announcement of the new Axion CPU marks a significant milestone in delivering custom silicon that is optimized for Google\u2019s infrastructure, and built on our high-performance Arm Neoverse V2 platform. Decades of ecosystem investment, combined with Google\u2019s ongoing innovation and open-source software contributions ensure the best experience for the workloads that matter most to customers running on Arm everywhere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Google Cloud customers will be able to use Axion in services such as Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Dataproc, Dataflow, and Cloud Batch, while Arm-compatible software and solutions are now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace. Actual availability of Axion is planned for &#8220;later this year&#8221;, with nothing more specific revealed at the moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/blog\/products\/compute\/introducing-googles-new-arm-based-cpu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/google_unveils_axion_its_first_armbased_cpu_for_data_centers-news-62370.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Today Google has announced its first Arm-based CPU for data centers, most likely responding to Amazon&#8217;s Arm chips that power that giant&#8217;s data centers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":222162,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222161"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
