Arm has just introduced a new processor for data centers. There’s nothing too unusual in that statement… except that for the first time the chip designer is actually making its own processor. The company has been licensing its designs to third party chip makers for decades, but the new Arm AGI CPU is an Arm-branded processor that Meta plans to use in data centers.
In other recent tech news from around the web, the Pebble Time 2 smartwatch has entered mass production, Walmart is raising prices for its dirt cheap media streamers (does that make them sand cheap now?), and Chuwi has addressed reports that some of its laptops that are supposed to have Ryzen 5 7430U chips actually have older Ryzen 5 5500U processors.
Arm has licensed chip designs to others for decades. But now the company is making its own chip for the first time – the Arm AGI CPU is a data center chip co-designed with Meta, with up to 36 Arm Neoverse V3 cores per CPU, 6GB/s memory bandwidth, sub-300W TDP. newsroom.arm.com/news/arm-agi…

Mass production of the $225 Pebble Time 2 smartwatch has begun, with the first units expected to ship to customers who have pre-ordered by the end of March. With 20K+ pre-orders, some won’t receive the watch until June though. repebble.com/blog/pebble-…

Chuwi responds to reports that some of its laptops shipped with the wrong processors by offering refunds if returned by May 31, saying it was a “production error,” which doesn’t explain why software reported the wrong chip. www.notebookcheck.net/Chuwi-respon…

Walmart’s dirt cheap Google TV media streamers are a little less cheap now that prices have been raised by $5 to $10. But the Onn HD Stick, Onn 4K Box, and Onn 4K Plus are still *pretty* cheap at $20, $25, and $40, respectively. www.aftvnews.com/walmart-rais…
