Last September in Hangzhou Yunqi meeting, Alibaba announced the establishment of chip companies "flat head brother Semiconductor Co., Ltd." by Ali in April last year acquired the domestic chip companies Zhongtian micro chip with Ali's Dharma hospital team from integration.
July 25 news, in 2019 Ali Yunfeng meeting, flathead brother held in Shanghai today officially released Xuantie 910, which is currently the industry's most powerful RISC-V processor. According to reports, 910 Xuantie design and manufacture of high performance can be used on the chip side, it is applied. 5G, the automatic driving artificial intelligence and other fields.
It is understood that Xuantie 910 single-core performance up to 7.1 Coremark / MHz, speeds up to 2.5GHz, higher than the current best RISC-V processor performance in the industry for more than 40%.
Darksteel 910 to achieve a breakthrough performance thanks to two major technical innovations: the use of complex 3-order execution architecture firing eight executed, the industry's first to achieve a week of two memory accesses RISC-V processor; based on RISC-V Extended more than 50 instructions, systemic enhanced RISC-V of computing, storage, and other aspects of the multi-core capabilities.
In addition, the flat head brother announced, "Pratt & Whitney chip" program, the future will be fully open Xuantie 910 IP Core, Worldwide Developers can download the free FPGA code for the processor chip to carry out rapid prototyping and architectural innovation.

ARM and RISC-V: Reduced Instruction Set sibling rivalry
ARM RISC-V and the like are reduced instruction set. ARM is one of the masterpieces RISC microprocessor, is widely used in embedded system design, its biggest feature is the low power consumption. The moment most companies on the world market are chosen based on the ARM chip architecture, it is everywhere.
Huawei has just released the first two days Kunpeng cloud is a cloud platform based on ARM processors. For more information on Huawei Kunpeng cloud, please visit https://www.huaweicloud.com/kunpeng/
The RISC-V is a 2010 University of California, Berkeley engineers to develop open-source instruction set architecture, the core instruction set as well as other key open source IP, can significantly change the ecological design of semiconductors. RISC-V RISC-V is managed by the Foundation, including as Western Digital, Nvidia, Google and other Silicon Valley giants join RISC-V Foundation, a free, open source RISC-V is attracting an increasing number of technology companies.
