Jazwares & Ampere Computing Team Up to Revolutionize Collectible Toy Experiences

Santa Clara, CA – October 26, 2023 – Jazwares, a leading global toy manufacturer known for its wildly popular collectible lines, is joining forces with Ampere Computing LLC, a cutting-edge technology company specializing in high-performance computing solutions. This collaboration isn't about robots playing with toys – it's about powering the future of how we experience collectibles. For those who don't know, Jazwares is the company behind some seriously hot toy lines. Think Squishmallows (those super-soft, huggable guys everyone’s collecting!), Fortnite figures, Pokémon plushies, and a whole bunch of other stuff kids (and adults!) are going crazy for. They make things that are fun, collectible, and just… well, adorable. But Jazwares isn't just stopping at making cool toys. They're always looking for ways to take things to the next level, to give fans more than just a plastic figure. And that’s where Ampere Computing comes in. So, what does a tech company have to do with toys? A lot, actually! Ampere Computing, based right here in Santa Clara, isn’t your typical silicon valley player. They design and build the brains behind some of the most powerful computers in the world – the processors, the chips, the stuff that makes everything run. They're known for pushing the boundaries of what's possible with computing power, making things faster, smoother, and more immersive. Think of them as the people who make your video games look amazing and run without lag. And now, they’re bringing that same power to the world of collectibles. What’s the big deal? A new way to collect. Jazwares and Ampere are working together to create a whole new platform for collectors, one that combines the physical joy of collecting with the digital excitement of online interaction and immersive experiences. Here’s the idea: Imagine you buy a Squishmallow. It’s cute, soft, and perfect for cuddling. But now, imagine you can also scan a unique code on the Squishmallow to unlock a digital version of the character in a virtual world. This isn't just a simple online game. Ampere's technology is helping Jazwares build a platform that's super responsive, visually stunning, and capable of handling a huge number of users all at the same time. It's like a virtual playground where collectors can: Connect with other fans: Trade, chat, and share their collections with people all over the world. Play immersive games: Participate in challenges, quests, and events related to their favorite characters. Unlock exclusive content: Gain access to special digital items, early access to new products, and behind-the-scenes content. Personalize their experience: Create their own virtual spaces, customize their characters, and build their own unique collections. "We’re not just selling toys anymore," says Michael Ruggiero, a spokesperson for Jazwares. "We’re building a community, and we want to give our fans more ways to connect with the characters and worlds they love. Ampere’s technology is going to help us do that in a way we never thought possible." Why Ampere? The power behind the experience. Creating a platform like this requires serious computing power. You need processors that can handle a ton of data, render complex graphics, and keep everything running smoothly, even with thousands of users online at the same time. "Typical cloud solutions just weren't cutting it," explains a representative from Ampere Computing. "Jazwares needed something that could deliver unmatched performance and scalability, and that's where we came in. Our processors are designed for demanding workloads, and they’re perfect for powering immersive digital experiences like this." Here's what Ampere's technology brings to the table: High Core Count: More cores mean more processing power, allowing the platform to handle a larger number of users and complex tasks simultaneously. Advanced Graphics Rendering: Creates stunning visuals and realistic animations, making the virtual world more engaging and immersive. Low Latency: Ensures a smooth and responsive experience, even with a large number of users online. Scalability: Allows the platform to easily grow and adapt to meet increasing demand. Energy Efficiency: Lower power consumption means a smaller environmental footprint. What Does This Mean for Collectors? In short, it means a whole new level of engagement and excitement. Collecting isn’t just about owning physical items anymore. It’s about being part of a community, sharing your passion with others, and immersing yourself in a world of creativity and adventure. “We’re really excited about the possibilities,” says a member of the Jazwares design team. “We’re already working on some amazing new features and experiences, and we can’t wait to share them with our fans.” Looking Ahead The collaboration between Jazwares and Ampere Computing is just the beginning. The companies are planning to continue working together to develop even more innovative and immersive experiences for collectors. This partnership signals a shift in the toy industry. It's no longer just about plastic and plush. It’s about creating experiences that combine the physical and digital worlds, powered by cutting-edge technology. And with Jazwares' creative spirit and Ampere Computing’s powerful processors, the future of collecting looks brighter than ever.
