Good news for domestic semiconductor industry
With the continuous attack of major manufacturers on semiconductor technology, the domestic chip industry has good news again! A semiconductor company named "Moore Thread" suddenly announced that it had made a major breakthrough in semiconductor research and development. The first full-featured GPU in China was successfully developed. The chip is embedded with 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 scoff at this and think that it is not a GPU or 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 signal and 3D graphics rendering tasks we use, which requires GPU, because GPU has unparalleled performance in graphics processing. Moreover, with the rapid rise of the digital economy, the metacosmic era of the Internet of Everything is coming, and the demand for graphics processing in the consumer market will also erupt, 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 previously developed GPU has incomplete functions, only some functions such as AI training and high-performance computing. The fully functional GPU successfully developed by Moore Thread not only broke the long-term monopoly of foreign giants, but also filled the gap in the field of fully functional GPU chips in China.
Interestingly, Moore thread was founded in June 5438 +2020 10. It took only one year to successfully develop the first full-featured CPU in China. This time, Moore Thread announced the completion of the A round of 2 billion financing for the mass production of GPU chips, the related research and development of GPU SOC, and the expansion of the ecosystem. I have to praise the rising speed of Moore Line and domestic semiconductor industry!
Why is the research and development speed so fast?
In the domestic semiconductor market, we can see that some enterprises have devoted themselves to the research and development of chips, but they are forced to devote their research and development tasks to 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 300 days. What is the reason?
In a word, that is the return of talents. More and more semiconductor talents see that domestic enterprises are facing technical blockade. In addition, China pays more and more attention to the semiconductor industry. Many preferential policies, such as tax exemption, have been introduced for some newly-established enterprises, and "the task of revealing the list of leadership positions" has been set for many key projects, regardless of age or education. This has caused many cutting-edge talents to give up high-paying overseas jobs and resolutely return to China to help the rise of the motherland's semiconductor industry! For example, Chang Lin, the top chip talent at the University of California, and Cao Yuan, who is famous for his research on graphene technology, are all hopes for domestic technological breakthroughs.
20 19 is the first year of 5G, China is in the forefront of the world, and 2020 is the first year of "core rise". I believe that domestic semiconductors will be reborn in the near future! Once you ignore my love, I believe I will make you unattainable in the future!
