Microsoft seems to be embracing ARM processors for more than just for Windows laptops and desktops... The Azure Cobalt 100 processor has 128 ARM cores.

Unfortunately, the press releases and blog posts from Microsoft provide any information regarding what type of cores or version of the 64-bit ARM architecture they are using in the Azure Cobalt 100.

Would be interesting to see how it compares against AWS's Graviton3, Ampere's Altra and One processors, and NVIDIA's Grace CPU.

has published some more dazzling deets on the Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 processor. The processor is using Neoverse N2 cores.

It's not the highest performing cores, but it's not the weakest of the available server- or cloud-oriented cores either.
