Chinese chip maker Phytium to release next-gen server CPU on July 23-cnTechPost

Chinese chip designer Phytium Technology recently announced that it will release a new generation of server CPU on July 23rd. Baring any surprises, it will be the long-rumored FT-2500, which features eight Compute Units (CUs) and works out to a total of 512 Stream Processors (SPs).

Phytium processors were born in 1999 and the team has grown from a dozen people to over 500. The chip size has grown from hundreds of thousands of transistors to tens of billions of transistors.

Its process has also grown from 0.35 micron to 16/14nm, resulting in a complete portfolio covering servers, desktops and laptops, and high-performance CPUs for embedded systems.
At the end of last year, Phytium held a launch event in Beijing and introduced a number of FT-1500, FT-2000 series Processor.
The FT-2000+/64 is aimed at enterprise-class high-performance servers, using FTC662 architecture. It has 64 cores, the process is 16nm and it clocks at 2.2-2.4GHz.


It supports one PCIe 3.0 x1 and two PCIe 3.0 x16 with 96W power consumption and peak computation performance is 588.8GFlops.
The new CPU announcement for multiple CUs should be the FT-2500 series, which is based on the FT-2000 series, it is also 16nm 64 core.

It has been upgraded to the FC663 core architecture at 2.2 to 2.5GHz, with integrated 64MB L3 cache, support for 8 channels of DDR4-2400 memory with TDP power consumption at 100W.
The FT-2500 series was taped out in August last year, samples came out in November, and a prototype was tested in March this year. It is mainly used for multiple CUs of servers, up to 512SPs parallel, which is more suitable for supercomputer systems.


Phytium is a fast-growing Chinese IC design company. Its HQ locates in Tianjin Binhai High-Tech Industrial Development Area, China. It has also operation center, marketing service center and research center in Beijing and Guangzhou, China.

Phytium Technology is dedicated to design, manufacture and sell high performance and low power IC chips as well as services around the products. To provide satisfying products for users is the motivation and goal of Phytium.

Germany is giving the finger to the US on Nordstream, period. There is no negotiation with the US on this. But if you have any evidence for this, just give it! Otherwise, please stop repeating this idiocy everywhere.

Lol isn’t that what I said. Germany will eventually have Nordstream. But can it have both Huawei and Nordstream? Nobody has insider information. So this is all just discussion and conjecture anyway. If you have a better understand then please share.

Interesting whether this chip will get banned as well by Trump adm?

Americans with cardiac arryhthmia will suffer from Trump administration's decision to ban Huawei. Up to 2.5 million Americans run Huawei codes on their pathmakers. Now they cannot get software upgrade and have to replace the pathmakers if they want any upgrade. Furthermore, they have to wait much longer for the far better 5G pacemakers, which have extremely low latency and are able to react to irregular heartbeats much quicker.

In other news, unmanned road rollers:

The pacemaker situation is eye opening. Ty.

Unmanned anything isn't that commendable an "achievement". I don't see it as a technological development either. What's the innovation involved here? Unmanned ships, Trains, road rollers, lawn Mowers etc aren't exactly big innovations. I see these as mere PR or Marketing. Borderline gimmicky even.

Let's be real, most of us know this. XCMG gets points for better PR.

What we need are champions who do heavy lifting. Champions who tinker with Basic Physics, Chemistry, Metallurgy etc. Big companies who really explore the cutting edge. Big companies who leave others far behind.

Huawei just got dumped by TSMC. I personally observe cautious optimism over this news. This means that there is an incentive. It means that the path is clear - either strive for greatness or go down with 2015-2020 as the golden Era for Huawei.

It's upto the Chinese to decide if they're going to be told what to do or if they want to forge their own path.

Another Chinese province starts producing PCs with home-made CPUs and operating systems-cnTechPost

After Chongqing Municipality and Liaoning Province, the China-made PC "Tianyue" has also rolled off the production line in Hainan. The PCs use completely home-grown parts and operating systems, which is expected to produce 100,000 units a year.

According to local media, the "Tianyue" series of computers rolled off the production line in Hainan on July 16, and its production facility is in the Hainan Baotong Industrial Company, located in Haikou. It has also completed a production line with an annual capacity of nearly 100,000 units.

The "Tianyue" is the first pure China-made computer with chip and operating system all self-developed. It is designed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group and produced by the state-owned Shenyang Liaoning Radio.
The report did not mention the specific specifications of the "Tianyue" computer, but according to previous reports, the Tianyue family of computers is available in 4 models and 9 products.
It is divided into two categories: general-purpose and special-purpose and uses processors such as the Phytium FT2000/4 and the Loongson 3A400 series processors, all made in China.
The Phytium processors are clocked at 1.5GHz and Loongson processors are clocked at 1.2GHz to 1.4GHz. 1.5GHz.
The main frequency of mainstream desktop CPUs on the market today is around 3GHz, and while it doesn't make much sense to simply compare the main frequency, this data shows that China-made computing and in the speed of the operation has a lot of room for improvement.

Its operating systems are also made in China, with the supporting systems including Galaxy Kylin, NeoKylin, and Deepin.
Back in June this year, the Tianyue computer had successfully rolled off the production line in Chongqing and revealed details of its configuration. Detailed information about Tianyue series computers is also available on the Loongson website.


Earlier this month, the Tianyue computer was rolled off the production line in Liaoning, where a production line with an annual output of 100,000 sets of has been completed, and the output value is expected to be 500 million in 10 years.

Top China backend firms gaining significant expansion momentum


China's top-3 backend houses JCET, Huatian Technology and Tongfu Microelectronics, now all among the world's top-10 IC assembly and testing firms, are gaining increasing business expansion momentum from the Chinese government's efforts to bolster the country's semiconductor self-sufficiency, according to industry sources.

JCET ranks as the world's third-largest backend service provider in terms of revenues, and the other two have been keenly competing for sixth place. Together, they command a 20% share of the global IC packaging and testing market, the sources said.

Based on a Digitimes Research estimate, the three Chinese OSAT firms will see their combined 2020 revenues register an annual growth of 8%, driven by China's accelerated 5G infrastructure construction, national policy support, and increasingly sound supply chains, all associated with the goal of boosting self-supply of semiconductor products, the sources continued.

The sources said following the US ban on Huawei, Hikvision and many other major Chinese vendors, these enterprises have increased their reliance on Chinese supply chain players, adopting more homegrown offerings.

To better serve domestic clients, China's largest foundry Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) has engaged in strategic cooperation with JCET, jointly setting up a bumping plant and helping the backend partner acquire STATS ChipPAC as its second-largest shareholder.

Huatian-packaged fingerprint ID chips and array image processor chips are now adopted by Huawei in its handsets. Huatian also maintains close partnership with Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC), and its newly built plant in Nanjing has entered trial production of memory and MEMS modules packaging.

Huatian has just released an estimate showing its first-half 2020 net earnings may shoot up 169%-239% on year to CNY230-290 million (US$32.85-41.43 million).
