Chinese chip start-up Dishan Technology has achieved a breakthrough in designing a 2-nanometre artificial intelligence chip, according to local media reports.<\/p>\n
Shanghai-based Dishan, which focuses on the development of high-performance computing chips and sensor chips, was now in the crucial prototype verification stage for its first 2nm AI graphics processing unit (GPU), the Shanghai Morning Post reported recently.<\/p>\n
The GPU was unveiled by the company last July. The company then said it had completed the basic design process on the chip, calling it a milestone in China\u2019s quest to achieve self-sufficiency in high-end computing chips. It employed a hybrid FinFET\/GAA process and a chiplet-based heterogeneous architecture, which was expected to improve energy efficiency by 40 per cent compared with its predecessor, according to the company.<\/p>\n
To make the new chip compatible with Nvidia\u2019s Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) ecosystem, Dishan would improve its supporting toolchains such as CUDA-compatible compilers, local media reported, citing a company representative.<\/p>\n
The progress marks China\u2019s latest effort to become self-reliant in high-end AI chips amid a prolonged tech war with the US. US chip giant Nvidia, meanwhile, was seeking to return to China with the H200, its second-most powerful AI processor to date.<\/p>\n
However, Dishan\u2019s chip had yet to enter the tapeout stage, and was expected to take another year or two before reaching volume production and commercial deployment, local media reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chinese chip start-up Dishan Technology has achieved a breakthrough in designing a 2-nanometre artificial intelligence chip, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,4518,25,387,4521,4514,2010,933,4515,4519,58,4520,4516,4517,2717,156,2187],"class_list":{"0":"post-4878","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ai","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-chips","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-china","12":"tag-dishan-technology","13":"tag-finfet-gaa","14":"tag-gpu","15":"tag-huawei-technologies","16":"tag-ieee-fellows","17":"tag-institute-of-electrical-and-electronics-engineers","18":"tag-nvidia","19":"tag-semianalysis","20":"tag-shanghai","21":"tag-shanghai-morning-post","22":"tag-taiwan-semiconductor-manufacturing-company","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-washington"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
