Replacing American chips with domestically produced chips has become the mainstream trend at present, and in terms of server chips related to information security, another Chinese chip company has launched server chips. This time, it is a truly domestically produced chip, achieving localization in chip architecture and manufacturing, supplemented by chip stacking technology to improve chip performance and reach the level of mainstream server chips.
The company that releases pure domestic server chips is Loongson. Loongson 3D5000 packages two wafer level Loongson 3C5000 chips together, thereby doubling the performance and fully meeting the performance requirements of server chips. This is another attempt by domestic chips in chip stacking technology, providing new ideas for domestic chips.
Chip stacking technology has long been proposed and attempted by domestic chips, but Loongson is the first domestic chip to commercially apply chip stacking technology. The application of chip stacking technology on server chips is that it can solve the problem of heat dissipation. Servers generally have a large space, while the application of chip stacking technology on mobile phone chips takes into account the narrow space of mobile phones and the need to solve power consumption issues before application.
Using chip stacking technology to improve performance has been adopted by many chip enterprises outside Chinese Mainland, among which the M1 ultra launched by Apple is a stacking chip. M1 ultra connects two M1 chips together with a special connection technology to achieve twice the performance. TSMC also uses a similar way to package two 7nm chips together to improve the performance by 40%, which is better than 5nm chips.
Server chips are related to information security issues, and China has been promoting the replacement of Intel's server chips with domestic server chips. In recent years, domestic ARM architecture server chips have gained considerable market share, and domestic server chips such as alpha architecture and X86 architecture have also gained some market share.
However, both ARM and X86 architectures are controlled by the United States, and ARM's latest requirements will not authorize the powerful Neoverse V series, which is specifically developed for server chips, to Chinese chip companies, further prompting domestic chips to develop server chips with controllable chip architectures.
Loongson's self-developed Loongson chip architecture is a completely self-developed chip architecture, which will not be influenced by the United States. This not only ensures chip security, but also completely controls chip architecture upgrades, which has irreplaceable significance for the development of domestic server chips.
Nowadays, chip stacking technology has been applied in server chips, which means that the constraints of advanced technology on domestic server chips have been broken. This technology can greatly improve the performance of server chips and meet the performance requirements of domestic data centers for server chips.
It can be said that the launch of Loongson 3D5000 will inspire more domestic chip companies to develop pure domestic server chips, replacing the server chips of American chip companies such as Intel with domestic chip architectures and manufacturing processes. This will be a huge blow to the American chip industry, and domestic chips will further break free from the limitations of American technology.
