Big money is moving in server processors, and Amazon, among others, the world’s largest cloud service provider, has also developed its own processors for its servers. According to a Bloomberg report, Microsoft is now on the same track. According to Bloomberg’s anonymous sources, Microsoft is currently developing its own Arm-based server chip for Azure cloud services. Microsoft has developed its own chips before, and the augmented reality HoloLens 2 glasses, for example, use the company’s Holographic Processing Unit 2.0

. According to the sources on the news site, it is possible that there would also be something suitable for Surface devices underway, but the sources were even more cautious about that. Microsoft currently uses its own SQ1 and SQ2 chips in its Surface X Pro tablets, but they are based on Qualcomm’s system circuits instead of the company’s own design.

Microsoft is known to have hired processors in recent years to process processors from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm, which has buried its own server processor lines. The company has, of course, refused to comment on the actual rumors in any way, but stated that the company will continue to invest in its own circuits, their design and manufacture, and in its numerous collaborations with other circuit manufacturers.
