As we all know, the two most popular chip architectures currently are X86 and ARM. X86 monopolizes the PC industry and ARM monopolizes the mobile field. In addition to these two major architectures, although there are also alpha, MIPS, RISC-V, etc., they are all somewhat behind X86 and ARM.
Take RISC-V as an example. Based on its open source and free advantages, it has been very popular in recent years, but it is more used in the low-end IoT field of . As for entering PC, mobile SoC and other fields, whether it is performance , or ecology, there is still a lot to be desired.
However, many people believe that with the development of RISC-V, RISC-V will be able to compete with ARM, X86, etc. in the future, and it is not impossible to even replace them.
Recently, with the release of Ali high-performance RISC-V chip platform "Wujian 600", we found that the next RISC-V chip will replace intel's X86 chip, and even Qualcomm 's ARM chip. It's not impossible.
At the 2022 RISC-V China Summit, Alibaba Pingtouge showed off another wave of skills on the RISC-V architecture and released the first high-performance RISC-V chip platform "Wujian 600". Not only did it release this The platform also served as a model for IC manufacturers. Based on this platform, an Soc prototype "Yiying 1520" was launched.
Using this SoC, Alibaba successfully ran its own dragon lizard linux operating system, and also ran the desktop program LibreOffice on it, breaking the RISC-V record.
can run Linux systems, which means that RISC-V architecture chips are expected to replace X86 chips and become the CPU of computers. This is completely different from what was used in low-end IoT in the past.
In addition, the Wujian 600 platform also supports the Android system. Because of the RISC-V architecture, is also a simple instruction set . This also means that subsequent IC manufacturers can also use the Wujian 600 platform to develop mobile phone chip , and then compete with Qualcomm and others, or even replace Qualcomm.
I don’t know what you think? Over the years, Alibaba has invested too much in chips, especially in the RISC-V architecture. It has been working hard to launch various chip platforms, IP, etc., hoping to make the world's most difficult-to-make chips.
hopes that Alibaba’s Wujian 600 platform will allow China Chip to take another big step in replacing Intel’s X86 and Qualcomm and other ARM chips.
