The CPU's growing role in agentic AI infrastructure

Arm-sponsored content arguing that CPUs play a critical but underappreciated role in agentic AI infrastructure. While accelerators handle model performance, CPUs act as the control plane — managing data movement, workload scheduling, and secure isolation. Arm's Neoverse platform underpins custom silicon from AWS (Graviton), Google (Axion), Microsoft (Azure Cobalt), and NVIDIA (Grace Hopper/Blackwell), all reflecting a shift toward purpose-built Arm-based processors in cloud and AI datacenters. The piece introduces the Arm AGI CPU, built with Meta, targeting rack-level density for agentic AI deployments.
