Introduction AI computing power has become the core productivity in the digital economy era, but the global AI industry is facing three major challenges: “insufficient supply, high costs, and an ecosystem yet to be built.” According to industry statistics, the average utilization rate of computing resources in the industry is only 30% to 40%, leading … Read more
1. Introduction: Strategic Positioning and Development Background of RISC-V in the Field of AI Computing1.1 Overview and Technical Characteristics of RISC-V ArchitectureRISC-V (Reduced Instruction Set Computer – Fifth Generation) is an open-source and free instruction set architecture that is becoming an important choice for native computing architectures in the AI era. This architecture was developed … Read more
Traditionally, the CPU microarchitecture is understood in a narrow sense, typically from the perspective of pipelining and superscalar pipelines. ARM’s CPU cores also exhibit such microarchitectures. However, ARM’s greatest success lies in its SoC architecture, which likely stems from its positioning as an “IP supplier.” This positioning allows for a fully decoupled design of various … Read more
In a previous article, we briefly analyzed the architecture of MCU chips.Analysis of MCU chip system architectureIn fact, most WIFI chips can be considered as MCU chips, so the SoC architecture of WIFI chips is basically the same as that of MCU chips, which includes the CPU, bus, peripherals, and of course, the WIFI IP … Read more

Star and follow us ⭐️Exciting content won’t get lost On July 16, 2025, during a visit to the “5th RISC-V China Summit” exhibition, a particularly crowded booth caught the attention of reporters from the Nonferrous Network. It turned out to be a company called “ChaoRui Technology,” whose latest high-performance 8-core 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor UR-DP1000 has … Read more
If the keyword for the release of Kirin 970 was AI capabilities, and for Kirin 980 it was the 7nm process, then the keyword for the release of Huawei’s Kirin 990 5G chip is the currently trending 5G technology. According to Yu Chengdong, the Exynos 980 released by Samsung next door is a chip that … Read more
Recently, ARM launched the Cortex-A77 CPU core and the Mali-G77 GPU core. As we know, ARM cores have always been the foundation of mobile platforms for Huawei, Samsung, and Qualcomm. Although both Samsung and Qualcomm are actively developing their own CPUs or GPUs, they still rely on ARM. It is foreseeable that these two cores … Read more
