Computing power is the key driving force of modern scientific and technological progress, and it plays an important role in various fields, from mobile phones to supercomputers, from digital economy to national development. However, it is disturbing that 90% of the world's computing power is monopolized by the United States. This article will explain the impact of this phenomenon and how to try to catch up with the computing power gap.
The United States is currently the main country with a monopoly on computing power in the world, and it has the vast majority of the market share of general computing power, intelligent computing power and supercomputing power. In the market, x86 architecture chips occupy an overwhelming position in the field of general computing power, while ARM's share is smaller. In the field of intelligent computing power, Nvidia is the dominant player, occupying 90% of the market share, and other manufacturers such as AMD and Intel also have a large market share. In addition, the domestic market share of NPUs and DPUs is relatively low. In terms of supercomputing power, the United States has the world's top 3 supercomputers, accounting for 7 of the world's top 10 supercomputers, and China's strongest Taihu Lake Light has fallen to 11th place. It can be said that at the current stage, there is a huge gap between us and the United States in terms of computing power.
However, this gap is not irreparable. We need to take steps to try to close the computing power gap with the United States.
To catch up with the computing power of the United States, the first move is to increase support and investment in China's chip industry. In the CPU field, we already have some potential alternatives, such as Loongson, Kunpeng, Shenwei, etc., which represent the direction of China's self-developed chips. We should continue to increase R&D investment, promote the application of these chips in the market, and gradually replace Intel's CPUs. In addition, in the GPU field, the rise of Huawei's AI chips provides us with an opportunity, and we need to continue to strengthen research and development, promote the development of China's GPU industry, and gradually replace NVIDIA. At the same time, in all AI chips, GPUs and DPUs, domestic manufacturers need to continue to work hard to narrow the gap with the United States and eventually surpass.
In addition to the improvement of domestic R&D capabilities, international cooperation is also an important means to narrow the computing power gap. We need to strengthen cooperation with other countries to jointly promote the development of global computing power. Competition with the United States is not only an adversary, but also an opportunity to enhance its own strength. By working together and learning from their experience and technology, we can catch up faster and surpass them in some areas. In addition, international exchanges also help to strengthen our research capabilities and enhance our competitiveness in the field of computing power.
Computing power is the core element of modern technology and economic development, and 90% of the world's computing power is monopolized by the United States, which is a challenge that cannot be ignored for other countries. However, by increasing investment, promoting the development of China's chip industry, and strengthening international cooperation, we are expected to narrow the computing power gap with the United States and eventually surpass it. Catching up with the computing power gap is not only to safeguard the interests of the science and technology field, but also to promote the rapid growth and sustainable development of the national economy. Let us work together to contribute to the competitiveness of the country's computing power.
