Lenovo has joined the growing trend of developing domestic chips among Chinese technology companies. The new Arm-based processor developed by the company is codenamed “SS1101” and will be used for the first time in the Yoga Pad Pro 14.5 tablet model.
Lenovo is developing its own processor
According to the leaks shared, the SS1101 will have an architecture consisting of a total of 10 cores. The cores are structured in a 2+2+3+3 arrangement. It is stated that the processor uses Arm’s ready-made Cortex designs. It is reported that the production process is done with TSMC’s 5nm lithography, and the chip can go up to 3.29 GHz.
On the graphics side, the SS1101 chip is accompanied by the Mali G720 Immortalis GPU. This GPU offers hardware-based ray tracing and was previously featured in the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 model.
Panasonic has decided to lay off exactly 10,000 people. This move was met with surprise in the technology sector.
There are some uncertainties about the number of cores. One user claimed that the processor is actually 8-core, but due to a system similar to hyper-threading, it will be perceived by the software as 10-core.
Lenovo has not made any official statements about the SS1101 processor so far. It is also unclear whether this processor is a one-off chip developed specifically for the Yoga Pad Pro or if it is the first step in the company’s long-term chip development strategy.
However, the details about the processor indicate that Lenovo is preparing to move to a more ambitious position in terms of hardware development. So what do you think about this development? You can easily share your views with us in the comments section below.
