X-Gene was a family of high-performance multi-core ARM microprocessors first announced by [[AppliedMicro]] in 2011. Unlike their traditional product offering, X-Gene directly targeted high-performance data center servers, a market predominantly dominated by [[Intel]] {{intel|Xeon}} processors. AppliedMicro introduced two generations of server processors based on their own custom [[ARM]] microarchitectures - {{apm|Storm|l=arch}} and {{apm|Shadowcat|l=arch}}. Those two generations shipped a total of 25,000 units. In late [[2016]], [[MACOM]] acquired AppliedMicro resulting in the shelving of third-generation X-Gene based on the {{apm|Skylark|l=arch}} microarchitecture. The X-Gene [[intellectual property]] including most of the design team was eventually sold to [[Ampere Computing]] has rebranded the design and improved on it under the {{ampere|eMAG}} brand. | X-Gene was a family of high-performance multi-core ARM microprocessors first announced by [[AppliedMicro]] in 2011.
