7nm 64-core Huawei server CPU and AI SSD controller

26.12.2018

Huawei has unveiled a 64-core processor built on the ARM v8 architecture and made using a 7 nm process technology. The CPU is focused on server applications.

Earlier it was reported about the scalability of the solution - the number of cores varied from 24 to 64. Usually they say this when the basic version (in this case, about 24 cores) is already being produced, but the top one (respectively, 64-core) will be released in the foreseeable future. Now Huawei has introduced specifically two top models - with 48 and 64 cores.

The CPU uses proprietary Huawei cores, codenamed TaiShan. Their frequency, depending on the configuration and customer requests, varies between 2,6-3,0 GHz. Given this, as well as a decent spread in the number of cores, it is not surprising that the TDP of the model also varies widely - from 100 to 200 watts.

The CPU also has an eight-channel DDR4-2933 MHz RAM controller, 1 MB L3 cache per core, and a PCIe 4.0 controller with support for 40 lanes. The CPU comes in a 60 x 75mm BGA package and is manufactured by TSMC.

In addition to the top variants of the Hi1620, Huawei introduced the Hi1711 SoC, which is called the world's first intelligent SSD controller - it uses some kind of artificial intelligence application accelerator, which is certainly compatible with the most common frameworks.

The Hi1711 is manufactured by TSMC in 16nm process technology, supports NVMe protocol, PCIe and SAS interfaces. The solution is also focused on application in servers. Interestingly, according to the source, Huawei started developing controllers for SSDs back in 2005.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Beosound Balance wireless speaker 05.03.2020

The legendary Danish Hi-End brand - Bang & Olufsen - has officially unveiled the new Beosound Balance wireless speaker. The unit delivers carefully controlled sound beams for crisp front sound and rich rear sound amplification, resulting in impressively powerful acoustic performance out of the box.

The design includes seven speakers at once: two 5,25-inch subwoofers, four full-range radiators (a pair of 2- and 3-inch ones) and one 3/4-inch tweeter. The reproducible frequency range is from 33 Hz to 23 kHz. Beosound Balance is able to actively adapt playback settings to compensate for sound depending on the surrounding acoustic environment.

The price of the novelty is 2000 euros.
