Ampere AMPEREONEA144-26X server processor 144-core 2.6 GHz 332W

AmpereOne 144-core server processor

The AmpereOne A144-26X is a 144-core server processor running at 2.6 GHz with a 332 W thermal design power. It is built on TSMC 5 nm technology and targets high-density cloud and scale-out workloads. The chip uses the LGA 5964 socket and includes an integrated DDR5 5200 memory controller. Security features cover speculative side-channel mitigation, buffer overflow protection and single-key memory encryption.

Fits LGA 5964 platforms with DDR5 memory

This processor requires a motherboard equipped with an LGA 5964 socket and DDR5 memory modules rated for 5200 MT/s. No cooling device is included, so a compatible 332 W thermal solution must be sourced separately. The integrated memory controller removes the need for external memory buffer chips. Builders must verify platform power delivery and firmware support before installation.

Suits dense cloud and hyperscale deployments

Organisations running containerised microservices, web serving or data analytics at scale will benefit from the high core count and memory bandwidth. Buyers who need integrated graphics, lower power envelopes or single-thread optimisation should evaluate alternative architectures. The processor is sold as a tray unit without a heatsink or fan.
