China's ** equipment surpasses the United States in performance, although the chip technology is slightly inferior, but this is not accidental. In the fields of military drones, fighter jets, missiles, rocket artillery, naval combat ships, etc., China has made a huge breakthrough in equipment, and has even been called the world's second military power by Russian military expert Vasily Kashin. So, why can China, which is backward in chip technology, still surpass the United States in terms of terminals?
First of all, we need to realize that the more advanced the chip in the best equipment, the better. In fact, the chips required for the first equipment pay more attention to stability and anti-interference ability, rather than the advancement of comprehensive computing power. Terminal equipment does not require complex calculations, they are more focused on executing specific instructions. Therefore, stability and the ability to carry out commands are more important for ** equipment.
Secondly, the terminal equipment usually uses professional chips (such as ASIC, FPGA, ASSP), rather than general comprehensive computing power chips (such as CPU, SoC). Professional chips are more suitable for the needs of ** equipment, because they focus on executing specific instructions and do not require too much computing power, as long as they can execute instructions stably and reliably. In contrast, professional chips such as ASIC, FPGA, and ASSP are simpler and more mature, with lower process requirements, and even the 130nm process can still meet the requirements of use.
In addition, the best equipment in different countries and regions also has different technical routes. Russian ** equipment rarely uses so-called chips, but more uses technologies such as tubes. However, this does not prevent them from being excellent in terms of performance, and it turns out that the chip process of the ** equipment is not the decisive factor.
Although the advancement of the chip process is not a decisive factor for the performance of the best equipment, we cannot deny the difference between the advanced process and the mature process. Compared with mature processes, advanced processes have higher transistor density, lower power consumption, smaller area, and lower cost. However, area, power consumption, and cost are not the most important considerations for equipment.
If we don't consider the limitations of cost, chip area, and power consumption, it is possible to achieve performance comparable to advanced processes in mature processes. We can expand the area of the chip on the 65nm process and integrate more transistors to achieve the high performance requirements. Therefore, advanced technology is not the key factor for advanced equipment.
Chip technology does play an important role in modern warfare, but whether chip technology is advanced or not alone does not determine a country's military strength. Factors such as performance, reliability, stability and operator training are equally important for the best equipment. The enhancement of military strength requires comprehensive development in many aspects.
In addition to the advanced nature of chip technology, it is also necessary to strengthen national defense scientific research, improve manufacturing capabilities, and train professional talents. Only comprehensive development can ensure the overall advanced nature of the equipment and its strong military strength.
Although China's first-class equipment is slightly inferior to the United States in chip technology, it surpasses the United States in performance and actual combat capabilities. Compared with the pursuit of the advancement of chip technology, China pays more attention to the stability and practical application ability of first-class equipment. The use of specialized chips, a focus on stability and the ability to execute specific commands have enabled China's best equipment to play an important role in modern warfare.
However, we cannot ignore the importance of chip technology. In today's scientific and technological development, chip technology still plays an important role in improving the performance of military equipment. Therefore, China still needs to strengthen research and innovation in the field of chip technology, and continuously improve its independent research and development capabilities to meet national defense needs.
Finally, we should recognize that chip technology is only one of many factors in the development of military equipment. The country's military strength is a comprehensive embodiment of multiple dimensions, and it is also necessary to strengthen the development of other aspects, such as national defense scientific research, manufacturing capabilities, and personnel training. Only by comprehensively improving can the country's military strength and security be ensured.
