• IBM (NYSE:IBM) announced a new dual-architecture mainframe processor for IBM Z and LinuxONE, developed with Arm, that can execute IBM and Arm instructions on the same chip.

• The processor allows enterprise workloads to run natively across IBM mainframe and Arm platforms, expanding application and infrastructure options for large organizations.

• This is the first time IBM mainframe systems will support concurrent execution of both Arm and IBM instructions, aimed at wider workload flexibility and hybrid IT use cases.

This kind of cross platform computing push is not limited to IBM. It is worth looking at a broader group of companies building the hardware and infrastructure that support AI workloads through 55 AI infrastructure stocks.
