Arm Neoverse / CSS server IP
Server-class Arm cores behind Grace, Cobalt, Axion, Graviton
Arm's Neoverse cores and Compute Subsystems (CSS) are the CPU foundation of nearly every hyperscaler AI server CPU: Nvidia Grace, Microsoft Cobalt, Google Axion, AWS Graviton, and Ampere. As AI data centers standardize on Arm host CPUs paired with GPUs, Arm's server IP became a quiet chokepoint underneath the accelerator layer, and Arm signaled ambitions to sell finished chiplets itself.
