AccessLab has launched an Arm CPU server based on a Qualcomm AI inference card. AccessLab said on Jan. 23 it will release the V-Raptor Q100, a low-power on-premises Arm CPU appliance for AI inference equipped with Qualcomm Technologies' AI inference card, the Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra.

The product is a server appliance that provides high-performance AI inference at low power. The company succeeded in developing a low-power Arm CPU server appliance for AI inference by applying the Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra solution.

The V-Raptor Q100 implements AI inference performance by integrating the Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra. Based on an Arm CPU architecture, it adds a low-power, high-efficiency system and can be applied to various environments such as modular data centres, on-premises appliances and edge computing.

The Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra is an AI inference accelerator solution that provides 288 teraflops on an FP16 basis and 870 teraops on an INT8 basis at 150 watts of low power. AccessLab combined it with a low-power Arm CPU server to build a product designed to provide performance suitable for AI inference while offering energy efficiency and scalability.

AccessLab is South Korea's first company specialising in low-power Arm CPU servers for data centres. The company has low-power data centre server capabilities, including signing an exclusive distributorship agreement in Taiwan.

AccessLab plans to enhance the competitiveness of South Korea's AI infrastructure by combining Qualcomm's AI inference solution with its Arm CPU server technology. It aims to provide customised AI solutions tailored to various industries.

AccessLab Chief Executive Yoo Myunghwan (유명환) said, "The Arm CPU server appliance for AI inference launched through this collaboration with Qualcomm signifies innovation in South Korea's AI inference market." He said, "Through continued technology development and cooperation with Qualcomm, we will create a global standard for on-premises appliances and AI infrastructure."

Qualcomm Korea President Kim Sangpyo (김상표) said, "Demand for generative AI and intelligent edge computing is surging, and Qualcomm is continuously expanding its IoT products and solution portfolio accordingly." He said, "Starting with our cooperation with AccessLab, we will actively target the on-premises appliance market and further expand our portfolio."
