"Kirin 9000 has an eight-core design, regardless of big or small cores, and the main frequency is 5.8GHz." He Tingbo introduced.

What is the concept of main frequency 5.8GHz?

Currently, Intel plans to release the I9-9900K desktop chip with a maximum frequency of 5GHz.

And the Kirin 9000 chip has a higher frequency than desktop chips?

Absolutely perverted!

In addition, the A13 chip that Fruit plans to release within this year has a maximum single-core frequency of 1.8GHz;

Qualcomm's latest flagship chip, Snapdragon 855, has a maximum single-core frequency of 2.84GHz.

"The reason why there is only 5.8GHz, Mr. Liang and I have discussed and studied it, and we both think it is affected by the production process." He Tingbo continued:

“With the technical improvement of the production process, the main frequency will gradually increase until the potential of carbon-based chips is fully realized.”

"After all, this is the first time to produce carbon nanotube chips. Many process procedures and equipment debugging and optimization need to be crossed by feeling the stones." Liang Qingsong added:

"However, Mr. He and I agree that with the current technology level, reaching a main frequency of 10GHz is not a big problem."

Chang Le and Mr. Ren smiled.

"After all, it's my first time. I don't have much experience, so that's understandable." Chang Le nodded.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. With the optimization of the process and the running-in of the equipment, we will definitely be able to give full play to the physical and chemical properties of carbon-based materials. I firmly believe this." Mr. Ren said easily.

"In addition, the main frequency of the eight cores reaches 5.8GHz, but the power consumption is in line with our initial expectations..." He Tingbo continued:

"It is only 2W, which is 12/1 of the Fruit A3 chip and Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship chip. We are very satisfied with this."

Because carbon nanotubes are smaller in size and have shorter channel lengths, they can operate efficiently at lower voltages and naturally consume less power.

The power consumption is very low, and the conductivity of carbon nanotubes is very good, and the resistance is much lower than that of silicon-based materials, so there is no need to consider too much heating issues.

"At the same time, we have also integrated a 16-core GPU and a three-core NPU, which have powerful image processing capabilities and AI computing capabilities..." He Tingbo further introduced:

"We estimate that, based on comprehensive comparison, the performance of this chip will be more than four times that of Fruit and Qualcomm's latest flagship chips..."

"Although chips are excellent, the factors of memory chips also need to be considered." Chang Le reminded.

Although system chip technology is changing rapidly, there have been many revolutionary iterations.

However, memory chip technology is generally lagging behind, dragging down system chips.

That is to say, the system chip performance is lagging behind and the memory chip performance is not enough.

The speeds do not match each other.

"Mr. Chang, we have also taken this factor into consideration." He Tingbo said:

"Currently, Changxin Storage and Changning Storage are stepping up their research on carbon-based memory chips, but it will take some time to develop mature products and bring them to the market."

"So Mr. Liang and I discussed it and decided to reduce the frequency and bring it to the market."

"According to our experimental calculations, even if the frequency is reduced to between 3GHz and 4GH, we can still maintain an absolute lead over the flagship chips of companies such as Fruit and Qualcomm." Liang Qingsong said:

"After all, although there is an inheritance relationship between carbon-based chips and silicon-based chips, they are not essentially products of the same era."

"Yes, even if the frequency is reduced, the performance will be an explosive leap forward. The biggest shortcoming of domestic mobile phones will be made up with the introduction of carbon-based chips." He Tingbo said:

"Whether the EUV lithography machine can be successfully developed in the short term is no longer important."

"We predict that in 10 years, it will be difficult for foreign competitors to surpass us."

Mr. Ren said to Chang Le:

"Now that the carbon-based chip has been successfully developed, our new mobile phone launch work is also progressing in an orderly manner."

“We’re going to start working hard on publicity.”

"Although Ms. Lin is currently trapped in North America, she is still relatively free within North America."

"We contacted her by phone before and planned to entrust a third-party advertising company to go to North America to contact Ms. Lin and shoot the promotional video."

"Ms. Lin is a passive victim in this matter."

"But objectively, her image is very consistent with the characteristics of our end products."

"We plan to increase her endorsement fee to 1 million."

Mr. Ren asked Chang Le for his opinion.

"The key is what is her personal attitude?" Chang Le asked.

"She has no objections, but is very motivated. She is looking forward to meeting the domestic audience again." Mr. Ren said.

"Since she personally agrees, there is no problem." Chang Le said:

"She has indeed taken the blame for us on this issue, and it's time for her to have her voice heard."

…………

After learning about the carbon-based Kirin chip, Chang Le went to his office with Liang Qingsong alone.

Entering the office, Chang Le took out a solid-state drive and handed it to Liang Qingsong, and then said:

"Qingsong, now that the carbon-based chip foundry technology is basically mature, we can start updating the hardware equipment of the Lingxi language large model."

"Boss, is this the chip design again?" Liang Qingsong asked as he took the solid-state drive.

He heard the meaning of Chang Le's words.

"Yes, it is a complete set of carbon-based computing power chip design drawings." Chang Le nodded and said:

"You need to arrange for personnel to verify and test the design drawings..."

"If there are no problems, seize the time to tape out the samples."

"We strive to use the chip in the Lingxi large language model before the end of the year to further improve computing power."

“The computing power of large models is a great help for scientific research.”

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to conduct the verification test immediately." Liang Qingsong nodded and said.

After Chang Le explained the matter, he said goodbye to Liang Qingsong, Mr. Ren, He Tingbo and others and rushed to Jiangzhou.

Good news also came from Jiangzhou.

After Chang Le left, Liang Qingsong immediately summoned people to check the chip design in the hard drive.

Open the design drawing through special software, and after checking it...

Everyone involuntarily took a breath of air.

Codename: Lingxi 100.

Based on Lingxi architecture, it is specially designed for high-performance computing and AI artificial intelligence.

Using the 10-nanometer process currently supported by Huahong Semiconductor, a single chip integrates 800 billion transistors (so the area will be very large, larger than a board).

There are 8 groups of graphics processor clusters, 72 groups of texture processor clusters, 144 groups of streaming multi-processor units...

Each group of streaming multi-processor units has 128 FP32CUDA cores, totaling .

Performance:

FP64/FP32 600TFlops (600 trillion times per second);

FP16 TFlops (2000 trillion times per second);

TF32 TFlops (1000 trillion times per second);

FP8 TFlops (4000 trillion times per second).

What is the level of such computing power?

In terms of design, it ranks first in the world.
