The fig leaf of self-developed domestic chips was removed, and relying on ARM had no choice but to turn to self-developed architecture.

A few days ago, two Chinese server manufacturers chose to cooperate with ARM because they did not get the authorization of ARMV9, which also made the industry realize that China's ARM architecture chips, the degree of dependence on ARM has reached an unimaginable level.

Arm used to be an open partnership, but after the U.S. cracked down on Chinese chips and Arm stopped producing in China, Chinese Arm thought they could use the V8 architecture developed by Arm to continue to innovate and maintain their technological advantage.

But a few years later, Arm introduced the ArmV9 architecture, and the latest one, Arm V92 architecture, and the local ARM company is still insisting on the armv8 architecture, which has caused a gap between China and foreign countries in technology, which has been pulled further.

In terms of security, artificial intelligence, and graphics, arm92. The architecture will play a greater role in ensuring user information security, quality and artificial intelligence.

At present, the bottleneck faced by domestic ARM chips is that they adopt the ARMV8 architecture, and the new technologies developed are incompatible with the existing ARM ecosystem, which can only improve the efficiency of their packaging processesAt the same time, the domestic ARMv9 architecture is constantly catching up with the pace of the international market, and the gap between ARM's hardware and software is also narrowing over time. It can be said that the domestically developed ARM chips are very dependent on ARM.

In this case, domestic chip manufacturers have almost no other way to go except for their own research and development of chips, and the domestic chips represented by domestic chips such as Loongson and Shenwei highlight the advantages of Loongson's fully independent research and development architecture, while Shenwei uses the alpha structure that has expired to achieve complete independent research and development.

The other is RISC-V, this architecture belongs to RISC-V, but it is a completely public architecture, on the basis of which major manufacturers can independently develop their own core, and Ali, as one of the founders of RISC-V, is booming in the field of Internet of Things chips in China.

The self-developed Loongson 3A6000 is comparable in performance to Intel's 10th generation Core, and its performance even surpasses that of the ARM system.

After these years of development, the domestic software and the self-developed chip system are slowly establishing their own ecosystem, among them, the domestic UOS system can support more than 500,000 software, so that the domestic chip can see the true face of ARM, thus promoting the rapid development of domestic chips and software.

Arm's behavior has made China's semiconductors see their own essence and realize their leading position in the chip field, relying on foreign chips, it is difficult to develop for a long time, and even one day it will go bankrupt because of patent issues, so it is necessary to establish its own chip technology on the basis of China.
