The Kunpeng 920 is an ARM-based 64-core processor with an operating clock of 2.6 GHz. The Kunpeng 920 manufactured in 7 nm process was designed inside the company.

Performance such as throughput and throughput has improved considerably than industry standards. Most of it is due to an increase in the number of OP units with optimized branch prediction algorithms and an improved memory subsystem architecture.

As a benchmark index " SPECint " to measure the processing speed of integer arithmetic, the score of Kunpeng 920 marked 930 or more. It seems that this score exceeds the industry highest level by 25%. The highest record of SPECint so far is the ARM base CPU "A64FX" of 7 nm process developed by Fujitsu for supercomputer, and the peak performance of 64 bit floating point calculation exceeds 2.7 teraflops.

Also, the power consumption of Kunpeng 920 seems to be about 30% less than that of competitors, which is said to lead to 10 million kilowatts of electricity savings per year and to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 10,000 tons I will.

In addition, Huawei also announced a new server series "TaiShan" with Kunpeng 920. We are planning to provide a model focusing on mass storage, high density, or both, and to develop it in cooperation with various organizations.

Xu commented that Kunpeng 920 is a processor designed for big data processing, distributed storage, ARM native applications. "Huawei has continued to innovate in the computing field to create customer value.I believe that the coming market will continue to grow in the future with the advent of intelligent society Open Eco, Cooperating with global partners in the spirit of sharing the success of pushing forward the development of collaboration and the ARM ecosystem Increase the computing space and accept the diversifying computing era, "Xu said on stage. It was.
