(Hong Kong / London Comprehensive News) In order to cope with the US -led further sanctions against China's computing power, China has invited technology giants Alibaba and Tencent to assist them in the design of semiconductor chips.
According to Japanese English Media Financial Times, the Chinese government has established an enterprise and research institution including the Chinese Academy of Sciences to create new chip intellectual property rights.Beijing hopes to reduce its dependence on SoftBank's company ARM, and the latter's technology is the basis for supporting most semiconductors around the world.
The above-mentioned alliance adopts an open source chip design architecture RISC-V created by the University of California Berkeley in 2010. In recent years, RISC-V has become a competitor to Moumou.
A Chinese official said that the government -led operation will put China on a "correct track."The official added that based on the decentralized nature of RISC-V development, hundreds of different companies will use their open source software architecture."Under the continuous upgrade of export control in the United States, we need to make the worst plans."
It is reported that the innovation alliance named Beijing Open Source Chip Research Institute has developed a high-performance RISC-V computer processing chip "Xiangshan" corresponding to intellectual property rights.
Reports also quoted employees who knew that before the implementation of the above operations, Alibaba and another technological giant bytes beating have set up teams using the RISC-V architecture to develop high-performance chips for artificial intelligence and data centers.
A senior engineer of the chip department of Alibaba's chip department said: "Our goal is to develop the RISC-V chip to replace the conspiracy chips in our existing most advanced products."
The U.S. government issued new measures in early October this year to severely control the export of advanced chips to China.The United States has also been lobbying in the Netherlands, Japan and other countries to eliminate Chinese technology companies from its supply chain.
