Ampere Computing
Ampere designs Arm-based server processors (Ampere Altra and AmpereOne families) for cloud-native, AI inference and data center workloads. It sells chips to hyperscale and regional cloud providers and server OEMs, and Oracle Cloud is a notable customer. Founded in 2017 by ex-Intel president Renée James with Carlyle backing, it had raised about $814M before SoftBank agreed in March 2025 to buy it for $6.5B in cash. The deal closed on November 25, 2025, and Ampere now operates as an independent SoftBank subsidiary with about 1,000 engineers.
