News Arm's partners develop 2nm AI processor using Arm's Neoverse — Arm's Total Design ecosystem doubles in size on first anniversary

Am I the only person that finds it strange that a chip made up of general purpose CPU cores is being called an “AI” chip? It seems more like just a cloud based CPU to control a system containing real AI focused chips.
 
cough cough SMIC, UMC and GloFo
Yeah those are all extremely far behind bleeding edge fabs. SMIC has fake 7nm, GloFo has real 12nm with similar performance and UMC basically only does 28nm and up right? Intel, Samsung and TSMC all have 2nm fabs capable of generating working chips, even if not necessarily at good yields yet at Intel or Samsung.

Yeah, TSMC's basically risk producing N2 at this point
