Huawei kunpeng 920: the new arm microprocessor

Huawei also makes an appearance in the processor range, and at its headquarters it presented the new ARM processor. The Chinese manufacturer leaves us with Kunpeng 920, the new ARM microprocessor that the brand itself claims is the fastest in the world. It is a chip that makes it clear that the Chinese brand has come to war in this market segment. It leaves with good feelings on paper in terms of performance.

Huawei Kunpeng 920: The new ARM microprocessor unveiled at Huawei headquarters

This the new ARM server microprocessor seeks to offer good performance, quality, but above all speed. It is the speed that promises to make it different from other options on the market.

Specifications Huawei Kunpeng 920

This Huawei Kunpeng 920 is made with 7nm lithography, the company itself has designed it. For this, the ARMv8 microarchitecture has been taken as the starting point for it. We find a total of 64 cores in it, operating at a speed of 2.6 GHz. In addition, it has the ability to access 8 channels of DDR4 memory. It also has compatibility with CCIX and PCIe 4.0 interfaces, as the company has confirmed.

According to the brand, in the SPECint Benchmarks test, this SoC has obtained a rate 25% higher than that of other ARM chips for servers. If this is the case in practice, it is an ideal option for many companies, which undoubtedly seek good performance as their main feature. Huawei claims to have made improvements in fields such as fork prediction algorithms. In addition to increasing the number of operational units and improving the architecture of the main memory subsystem. This makes Kunpeng 920 such a complete option.

So far nothing has been mentioned about the launch of Kunpeng 920 by the Chinese manufacturer. We hope to have data about it soon, because it promises to be one of the most outstanding products in its range in this 2019.
