According to recent leaks, Huawei is set to start producing processors equivalent in power to AMD’s Zen 3 series. The series, which features the Taishan V120 core and is still in the testing phase, could pose a challenge for Western companies, especially if it achieves success in sales with its potential low cost. The fact that the company, which does not have a long history in processor production, is already achieving such success is being met with great astonishment in the technology sector. Here are all the details…
Huawei is once again in the spotlight with next-generation processors
It is claimed that the development process of the Taishan V120 core, which Huawei initially designed for mobile platforms in its Kirin 9000 series, is currently progressing rapidly. However, we still do not know the full technological capacity that the company possesses.
The processor, which is estimated to be produced in the second generation 7-nanometer design process of SMIC, reportedly scored 1527 points in the Geekbench 6 test. The Zen 3-based EPYC 7413 managed to score 1538 points in the same test. So, we see that the difference between them has narrowed considerably.
However, considering that Zen 3-based processors were released in the latter part of 2020, we can say that Huawei still has a long way to go in processor technology. Whether the company, burdened by the American embargo, can compete with Western technology in processors remains to be seen in the coming period. Ultimately, we hope that all these developments will benefit the users.
