I believe many people have heard the saying? Science and technology is the primary productive force? It is undeniable that science and technology is a very important thing to promote economic development. For example, why did the United States impose various restrictions and sanctions on Huawei after it came up with 5G? The answer is that technology is very important, and they are afraid that we will surpass them. When it comes to U.S. sanctions against Huawei, it will definitely talk about the chip issue. As we all know, making chips is our weakness in China. When the United States sanctioned Huawei on chips, Huawei persisted for some time, but it may still be untenable. Because Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business, publicly stated that after September 15th, Huawei's Kirin series chips will not be manufactured. Therefore, in order to break the limitation of chip technology in the United States, we must be self-reliant and do our own research. Friends who watch the news may have seen the news that it took only four months for five undergraduates of National Science and Technology University to make a Chinese core. Is this true? Is it a miracle or a liar? Next, I will give you a brief talk about this matter with a cold eye, and see if it is true that five undergraduates of National Science and Technology University spent four months making a Chinese core.
First of all, cold eyes can give you a clear answer. This matter is true and there is no deception. The names of these five undergraduates from Chinese Academy of Sciences are Jin Yue, Wang Huaqiang, Wang Kaifan, Zhang Linjuan and Zhang Zifei, and the chip they developed is called? Nutshell? This is a 64-bit RISC-V processor SoC chip, which can successfully run Linux operating system. Of course, the design and development of this chip is mainly to help our technology enterprises in China, such as Huawei. After all, if we China people design our own chips, then our science and technology enterprises in China will be able to do better, which is of great significance to our science and technology in China. After four months of hard study, these five undergraduate students of National Science and Technology University succeeded! They really made a China chip, and achieved a breakthrough from to 1. They successfully achieved the goal of designing the processor chip by themselves, which they had never dreamed of before. Undeniably, these five Chinese undergraduate students are very powerful!
But objectively speaking, the China chip that these five Chinese undergraduate students spent four months making still has great limitations in performance. Because it is reported that the highest working frequency of this chip is 35MHz, and the CoreMark test score is 1.49/MHz, this data means that the chips made by these five national undergraduate students in four months should be considered as a teaching chip, not a product chip. Because it still has a certain gap compared with commercial processors. To put it more realistically, it is not very difficult for chip designers to design such chips. However, I thought coldly that students could design such a chip in just four months, which is already very powerful! Because the gap can never be filled at once! Students must come on!
