ARM is creating it's newest Neoverse N1 Platform, which has been designed to be implemented into cloud-based systems. Amazon has shown off its N1-Based Graviton2 for its cloud services, and this is Ampere's attempt at creating their ARM-based cloud CPU.

Ampere, technically Ampere Computing, is currently on the market with its eMAG processors using custom ARM cores derived from its acquisition of AppliedMicro. With Ampere's purchase of AppliedMicro, it had achieved success as a second-tier cloud provided as well as in the cloud-type serves for a varying number of Chinese smartphone game providers. Ampere's successor to the eMAG hasn't been given a marketable name but is currently being called the SoC codename of QuickSilver. This processor is different from the current ARM eMAG processor as the QuickSilver ARM CPU has been entirely built from the ground-up design, keeping this ARM CPU utterly separate from the AppliedMicro IP acquisition. The QuickSilver CPU is planned to be a competitor to Amazon's Graviton2.
