AMPERE Computing Brings a Touch of Nostalgia to Tech with "Calvin and Hobbes" Paperback Partnership

SANTA CLARA, CA – October 26, 2023 – AMPERE Computing LLC, a rising innovator in high-performance computing solutions, today announced a surprising, yet heartwarming, partnership: the distribution of the beloved “Calvin and Hobbes” paperback collection. While known for pushing the boundaries of processor technology, AMPERE is proving it also appreciates the simple joys in life, and believes a little bit of classic comic relief can brighten anyone’s day – even those deep in code. You might be thinking, “Wait, a tech company selling comic books?” Yep, exactly! AMPERE, located right here in the heart of Silicon Valley at 4655 Great America Parkway, isn't just about silicon chips and processing power. We’re about people. And frankly, everyone could use a little bit of Bill Watterson’s genius in their lives. “We're a company full of thinkers, creators, and frankly, a lot of people who grew up with ‘Calvin and Hobbes,’” explains AMPERE Computing CEO, [insert name - for the purpose of this output, we’ll leave it blank]. “We realized a lot of our team, and a lot of people in this industry, find inspiration and a little escape in those comics. It’s a reminder to think outside the box, to embrace imagination, and to not take things too seriously. Plus, it’s just a great read!” Why "Calvin and Hobbes"? For those who might have lived under a rock (or just been born yesterday!), "Calvin and Hobbes" is a syndicated comic strip created by Bill Watterson that ran from 1985 to 1995. It follows the adventures of Calvin, a mischievous and imaginative six-year-old boy, and Hobbes, his stuffed tiger who appears to be very much alive in Calvin's world. But it's not just a cute kid-and-tiger story. Watterson’s work is celebrated for its philosophical depth, insightful commentary on society, and, of course, its hilarious depiction of childhood. It’s a comic strip that appeals to all ages, offering a different layer of enjoyment with each read. “It's a surprisingly relevant comic strip even today,” says [insert employee name/title]. “Calvin’s struggles with school, his questioning of authority, his boundless energy... it resonates with anyone who’s ever felt a little bit out of place or who dreams of something bigger.” AMPERE's Unexpected Venture - and What it Means Okay, so AMPERE Computing builds high-performance processors for demanding workloads – data centers, cloud computing, the kind of stuff that powers the internet. What does that have to do with a paperback book? Honestly, not much directly. But the company believes it showcases their commitment to a holistic approach to innovation. They're not just focused on technical prowess; they also recognize the importance of creativity, imagination, and a bit of fun. “We want to build a company culture that fosters those things,” explains the CEO. “And sometimes, that means recognizing the value of stepping away from the screen and enjoying something a little different. We thought, ‘Hey, if we can bring a little bit of ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ joy to our customers, that's a win.’” The "Calvin and Hobbes" paperback collection is being offered through AMPERE’s website ([insert website - left blank for this output]) as a unique offering alongside their core computing products. It’s a limited-time promotion, and frankly, they're expecting to sell out quickly. More Than Just a Book – It’s a Conversation Starter AMPERE is also using this partnership to spark conversations about the importance of creativity and critical thinking – skills that are essential in both the tech industry and in life. They’re planning a series of online discussions and events centered around themes from the comic strip, such as the power of imagination, the importance of questioning assumptions, and the need for balance in a fast-paced world. "We want to encourage people to think differently, to challenge the status quo, and to embrace their inner Calvin," says a member of the AMPERE marketing team. "And what better way to do that than with a classic comic strip that celebrates those very qualities?"
