Due to the influence of international environment and other factors, the global semiconductor industry chain is in chaos, which has hindered the development of some domestic semiconductor enterprises such as Huawei. However, technology blockade has not overwhelmed these Chinese enterprises, but has ushered in a "golden period of development" in China. Many enterprises have embarked on the road of independent research and development. Even if they start from the most basic technology, although the speed is not fast and the functions are not many, they have laid a solid foundation for the rise of domestic chips.
Good news for domestic semiconductor industry
With the continuous attack on semiconductor technology by major manufacturers, another piece of good news came from domestic chip industry! A semiconductor company named "Moore Thread" suddenly announced that the company has made a major breakthrough in semiconductor research and development. The first domestic full-featured GPU has been successfully developed. The chip has embedded 3D graphics computing core, AI training and reasoning computing core, high-performance computing core, and ultra-high definition video decoding computing core. Perhaps many people may sneer at this, thinking that it is not a GPU, and it is not a CPU. What is there to be proud of?
As we all know, GPU is an important link between computers and display devices. With the continuous upgrading of hardware technology of display devices and the rapid development of games and other industries, consumers have higher and higher requirements for visual experience. It is difficult for CPU to handle the 4K signals and 3D graphics rendering tasks we use, so it is necessary to use GPU, because GPU has incomparable performance in graphics processing. Moreover, with the rapid rise of the digital economy, the meta-cosmic era of the Internet of Everything is coming, and the demand for graphics processing in the consumer market will also explode, which also means that the role of GPU will become increasingly prominent in the future.
unfortunately, American chip giants NVIDIA, AMD and Intel have occupied the global GPU market with absolute advantages for a long time, and even monopolized the whole graphics card industry. Although there are also GPU chip companies in China, the GPU developed before is not fully functional, and only has some functions such as AI training and high-performance computing. The fully functional GPU successfully developed by Moore Thread this time not only breaks the monopoly of foreign giants for a long time, but also fills the gap in the field of fully functional GPU chips in China.
It's interesting that Moore Thread was founded in October 22, and it successfully developed the first fully functional CPU in China in just one year. While announcing the GPU, Moore Thread also announced that it has completed the A round of 2 billion financing, aiming at the mass production of GPU chips, the related research and development of GPU SOC, and the expansion of ecosystem. I have to praise Moore Thread and the rising speed of domestic semiconductor industry!
why is the research and development speed so fast?
in the domestic semiconductor market, we can see that some enterprises once devoted themselves to the research and development of chips, but were forced to put their research and development tasks on peripheral products such as wifi, images and signal processors due to great difficulties. However, in recent years, the development speed of domestic chips is so fast that the research and development of full-featured GPU chips can be realized in more than 3 days. What is the reason?
in a word, it is the return of talents. More and more semiconductor talents see that domestic enterprises are facing technical blockade. In addition, China attaches increasing importance to the semiconductor industry. Many preferential policies such as tax exemption have been introduced for some new enterprises, and "the task of revealing the list of leading positions" has been set up for many key projects, regardless of age or academic qualifications. This has made many top talents give up high-paying overseas jobs and resolutely return to China to help the rise of the semiconductor industry in the motherland! For example, Chang Lin, the top chip talent of the University of California, and Cao Yuan, who is famous for his research on graphene technology, are the hope of domestic technology breakthrough.
219 is the first year of 5G, China is at the forefront of the world, and 22 is the first year of "Core Rise". I believe that domestic semiconductors will be completely transformed in the near future! Once you ignored my love, I believe that I will make you unattainable in the future!
