Arm rolls its own 136-core AGI CPU to chase AI hype train

What happened

Arm unveiled its first in-house datacenter CPU, a 136-core Neoverse V3 chip fabbed on TSMC 3nm, targeting AI agent workloads. This marks a strategic shift from IP licensing to silicon sales, with Meta as the flagship customer. Neutral: This is a long-term competitive move against Nvidia's Vera CPUs but does not indicate an immediate supply/demand shock for existing components.
