+We're very happy to announce that <a href="https://www.arm.com/">Arm Ltd.</a> and specifically its
+<a href="https://www.arm.com/markets/computing-infrastructure/works-on-arm">Works on Arm</a> team
+has sent us a fast <a href="https://amperecomputing.com/briefs/ampere-altra-family-product-brief">Ampere Altra Max
+server</a> to support Gentoo development. With 96 Armv8.2+ 64bit cores, 256 GByte of
+RAM, and 4 TByte NVMe storage, it is now hosted together with some of our other hardware at
+<a href="https://osuosl.org/">OSU Open Source Lab</a>. The machine will be a clear boost to our
+future arm64 (aarch64) and arm (32bit) support, via <a href="https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#arm64-advanced">installation
+stage builds</a> and <a href="https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm64/binpackages/23.0/">binary
+packages</a>, architecture testing of Gentoo packages, as well as our close work with upstream
+projects such as GCC and glibc. Thank you!
