Chips are known as the "grain" of modern industry and the "foundation" of the information society. Recently, a big news came from Hangzhou: 7nm chips were successfully mass-produced.
This chip was developed and put into mass production by Hangzhou Canan Yunzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd., which is not only the first chip in the blockchain, but also the first 7nm chip in the global semiconductor industry. It is currently the highest mass production process level in the global semiconductor industry. .
Tu Songhua, director of the Public Affairs Department of Jianan Yunzhi, introduced that as early as 2013, the team has successfully developed and mass-produced 110nm chips. Since 2015, it has successfully developed and mass-produced 28nm and 16nm. Today's 7nm chips have the industry's highest computing power density, lower cost and greater production capacity, while also featuring low power consumption, high temperature resistance, and high yield.
The 7nm chip will be produced by TSMC and will be first applied to the Avalon blockchain supercomputer A9. A9 is the first 7nm chip mass production device that has attracted much attention from the global cryptocurrency and chip industry. The computing power can double from the previous generation's 14TH / s to 30 TH / s (the highest), while the power consumption is 1720W .
"Jia Nan Yunzhi is a group of dark horses emerging from Hangzhou under the help of domestic and foreign chip powers." Chen Guanglei, Secretary General of the Zhejiang Semiconductor Industry Association, pointed out that TSMC's 7nm process only entered mass production in the second quarter of this year. Nan Yunzhi's mining chip took the lead in setting the world's first 7nm chip mass production record in July, which is not easy. The reporter learned that TSMC ’s largest customer, Apple, will not be ready for mass production until August. Qualcomm, MediaTek and other first-tier IC design makers will not arrive until September, and Huawei and its Hisilicon domestic top companies have to rank in the fourth quarter.
Tu Songhua said that the core issue of China is an important issue faced by the entire country, and Jia Nan Yunzhi "successfully made the world's first 7-nanometer mass production chip to land in Zhejiang", at least to make China "can be used in blockchain chips Realm and the United States. "
