Huawei is not giving up. After the first 7 nm chip for smartphones, Huawei today announced the Kunpeng 920, the self-proclaimed fastest ARM processor in the world. The processor comes with an impressive 64 cores.
Just last summer, Huawei had the Kirin 980 presented the world's first chip manufactured using the 2018 nm process at the IFA 7. Now they are increasing the speed even further: With the Kunpeng 920, they have announced a processor of roughly the same size, which with its 64 cores should clock up to 2,6 GHz. According to the company, this is currently the fastest ARM processor in the world.
Not intended for smartphones and tablets
The new processor is not intended for smartphones and tablets. The new processor is more aimed at business customers. This chip is intended more for servers and for use in data centers in the area of big data. In general, the Kunpeng 920 is said to be 25 percent faster and 30 percent more energy efficient than the competition. The integrated eight-channel DDR4 module is said to have a total memory bandwidth of 640 gigabits. pro second. In addition, the processor supports the PCIe 4.0 standard and CCIX connections.
In general, the ARMv8 architecture license is said to have significantly improved performance. In addition, the architecture of the storage subsystem is said to have been improved. This result is made possible by the improvements in algorithms for predictions.
