China's First 7nm GPU Nears Mass Production, Pics Emerge
toms hardware ^

Posted on 04/06/2021 3:59:49 PM PDT by algore

Shanghai Tianshu Intellectual Semiconductor Co. (Tianshu Zhixin) announced Wednesday that it's nearing "mass production and commercial delivery" of Big Island, China's first domestically produced 7nm general-purpose GPU (GPGPU).

Tianshu Zhixin said in January that BI was made using an unidentified 7nm process node and 2.5D chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) packaging. On Wednesday, it confirmed our suspicion that BI was made using TSMC's 7nm FinFET process.

It also shared a little more information about what people can expect from BI when it starts to ship.

Tianshu Zhixin claimed that BI offers "nearly twice the performance of mainstream manufacturers' products" at a lower power consumption while also offering a more attractive price-to-performance ratio.

My guess is that they will sell every one they can produce in china for mining.

Hopefully that will allow me to buy a video card someday.

No One will use this for gaming, because drivers will be poor. in general I have found that Chinese are bad drivers also.

GPU = Graphics processing units (for gaming on computers)

What US company gave the CCP the technology to develop this chip in return for using china’s slave labor pool to reduce their production cost for the chips they were making at the time of the technology transfer?

It seems they bought the plans for the chip and stole the foundry technology to make it from TSMC.

TSMC - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

Factories in Taiwan, China, and the US. Was planning on spending $35 billion on a plant in Arizona in the Trump years; unsure of the current status under Chinese influenced Biden.

In totalitarian political circles this strategy has been reported to be frequently considered Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and they should be made to pay

Here’s that compliment paid to the CCP by the Biden campaign for bringing in the virus which they admitted really helped fix it to get Biden elected http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts

Biden killed a Korean battery plant here. He’s a job killer and tax raiser and a immigrant coyote CEO. His legacy will be an epic disaster.

U.S. rival Intel Corp. in March announced plans to directly compete with TSMC for the business of manufacturing chips for other companies, with a $20 billion investment in two new factories in Arizona. South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co. is also spending in excess of $100 billion over a decade to expand its semiconductor business.

Intel has really fallen behind the last few years. Hope they can catch up.

Does anyone believe they came up with this on their own?

Stolen technology. Standard Operating Procedure

The money they paid the DEM and RINO traitors has paid off nicely; and killed America.

If only we could return the favor to those who betrayed us, and on our enemies
