The Ampere Altra Max 128-core processor was typically seeing 150~170 Watt power consumption under load.
It will be very interesting to see how AmpereOne fits into the mix.
For those very concerned about power efficiency, it's not hard to see why Ampere Altra (Max) continues to see new deployments especially among hyperscalers.
Overall Ampere Altra Max has aged rather well in this space for Linux server power efficiency.
For John The Ripper algorithms well tuned on AArch64, the 128-core Ampere Altra Max could outperform the Xeon Platinum 8490H in raw performance while the power efficiency overall was at the forefront.
