'Neoverse' is Arm's first CPU design for data centers announced at an event for engineers in 2018. As of 2018, Arm said it would launch a product every year, with 30% performance enhancements and new features each time.

The newly announced 'Neoverse V1' is the first CPU design in the 'V series' that has never existed before, and is compatible with Arm v8 and SVE2.

Compared to the Neoverse N1 used in Graviton 2, which accounts for 49% of the newly added instances on Amazon EC2, it improves the score of high-performance computing and machine learning workloads by more than 50%. And that.

On the other hand, 'Neoverse N2', which is the successor to N1, is the first CPU design compatible with 'Arm v9' that appeared in March 2021, and supports SVE2 up to 128 bits. With the same power consumption, we have achieved about 40% performance improvement over various workloads compared to N1.
