hmm, not just Nio, but all the Chinese EV makers are doing so. And they all say 1000 TOPS is no problem.
NIO leaving Nvidia for the ET9 and moving to in-house developed Shenji chips.
Nio bought intelligent suspension system from an American company as well. Don’t think they worry about sanctions at all.hmm, not just Nio, but all the Chinese EV makers are doing so. And they all say 1000 TOPS is no problem.
However, NIO, being what it is, decided to go with a 5nm process that currently cannot be handled by SMIC. So if US govt wants to cut them off (for not buying Nvidia chips and for making AI inference chip that's too powerful), they can easily do so.
I think you've got the small core and mid-core mixed up.These are the cores used in the K9000S:
2.62 (TaiShanV120)
2.15 (TaiShanV120)
1.53 (Cortex-A510)
My guess is this K9000SL is a 2.35 GHz TaiShanV120 core with SMT turned on, with another three 2.15 GHz TaishanV120 cores with SMT turned off, and four 1.53 GHz Cortex-A510 cores.
K9000SL | K9000S | |
Large core | 2 x 2350MHz. Likely SMT. | 2 x 2620MHz. SMT. |
Mid core | 4 x 2150MHz. Likely SMT. | 6 x 2150MHz. SMT. |
Small core | 3 x 1530MHz. No SMT. | 4 x 1530MHz. No SMT. |
Total | 6 SMT cores + 3 non-SMT = 6-core processor, 9 threads. | 8 SMT cores + 4 non-SMT = 8-core processor, 12 threads. |
Did you look at the picture in the X/Twitter post? It has four small cores.I think you've got the small core and mid-core mixed up.
Take a second look at the screen shot, it lists:
K9000SL K9000S Large core 2 x 2350MHz. Likely SMT. 2 x 2620MHz. SMT. Mid core 4 x 2150MHz. Likely SMT. 6 x 2150MHz. SMT. Small core 3 x 1530MHz. No SMT. 4 x 1530MHz. No SMT. Total 6 SMT cores + 3 non-SMT = 6-core processor, 9 threads. 8 SMT cores + 4 non-SMT = 8-core processor, 12 threads.
Based on my understanding, the main difference with K9000S is that(1) the big core frequency is lower, (2) one mid-core was cut, (3) one small-core was cut.
you are wrong. Please look over the post again. The only differences are what @gelgoog pointed outI think you've got the small core and mid-core mixed up.

What I see in the Twitter picture is the K9000SL has three cores with a frequency of 1530MHzyou are wrong. Please look over the post again. The only differences are what @gelgoog pointed out
