Ali takes first place! Released the first high-performance RISC-V chip platform Wujian 600

[gearbest News] Since entering the Internet era, the use of chips has become more and more extensive. Smartphones, smart cars, and smart homes are all inseparable from the core component of the chip. At present, the mainstream CPUs on the market are mainly based on the X86 and ARM architectures, but these two architecture technologies are not held by domestic companies. In some cases, once there is a supply problem, it will affect the development of domestic technology companies, which has also led many companies to the road of self-developed chips. Recently, Alibaba released its first high-performance RISC-V chip platform, Wujian 600, at the 2022 RISC-V China Summit.

According to CNMO, Wujian 600 is Alibaba's first high-performance chip platform, setting a number of global RISC-V records. It supports a 4-core processor with a maximum frequency of 2.5GHz and a storage DDR of 4266MT. The overall performance is even better. At the same time, Ali said that Brother Pingtou and the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences optimized the software and hardware system based on Wujian 600, and successfully realized the world's first operation of running a large-scale operating system and software on a RISC-V chip.

In this regard, the CEO of RISC-V International Foundation believes that Wujian 600 can support the development of higher-performance SoC chips, which will bring more space for the ecological development of RISC-V technology. It is reported that in the RISC-V International Foundation, Brother Pingtou participated in the formulation of standards in 29 technical directions, led 10 technical groups, and is recognized as a leading Chinese institution in terms of investment.

In addition, Academician Ni Guangnan also said in his speech at the 2022 RISC-V China Summit that the mainstream CPU market is still monopolized by the X86 and ARM architectures, but the emerging open source instruction set RISC-V will provide new opportunities for the development of my country's chip industry. If the opportunity is seized, China may seize the initiative in CPU core technology.
