On December 27th, Tsinghua Unigroup held an online press conference to announce that Tanggula T770 and Tanggula T760 have achieved mass production of customer products. This marks that Tsinghua Unigroup has ranked among the world's first echelons in the field of communication technology and semiconductor technology.
Domestic semiconductors have broken through again
It is reported that the Tanggula 5G brand was born in the first half of 2021, benchmarking Huawei Kirin. Although Tsinghua Unigroup Zhanrui is slightly inferior in both technology and experience in the field of mobile phone chips compared with HiSilicon, in the case that the Kirin processor cannot be produced, the 5G chip of Zhanrui Tanggula actually represents the highest level of China's 5G chip. The successful mass production of Tanggula T770 chip is the most intuitive embodiment of the breakthrough achieved by domestic semiconductors.
The second generation of 6nm chips is introduced
Tanggula T770 is the world's first successful chip-back 6nm chip platform, and the second generation of 6nm chip developed by ZhanRui. Although in the 5G consumer market, the popularity of Zhan Rui chips is not high, in fact, Zhan Rui has been laying out 5G technology.
Because Zhan Rui accounts for nearly 80% of the market share of functional machine chips, there is no room for growth, and the transformation to the field of smart machines is imminent for Zhan Rui. And 5G is the latest direction of smart machine development, Zhan Rui naturally will not give up the market, Tanggula T770 is a bright sword of Zhan Rui in the 5G chip market.
According to the official introduction, tanggula T770 supports cutting-edge communication technologies such as 5G R16 and 5G network slicing. In order to create this product, ZhanRui has carried out a long-term layout of 5G R16 technology and applied for nearly 200 patents.
Moreover, in order to allow users to get a better Internet experience, ZhanRui will also actively cooperate with operators to optimize some technologies. Therefore, the Tanggula T770 was selected by many customers. At present, domestic brands, including China Telecom, Honor, and Hisense, have established cooperative relations with Zhan Rui.
100% performance improvement
In the author's opinion, what really determines the reputation of the Tanggula T770 chip is not the 5G performance.
After all, the current 5G application ecology has not yet been built, and the excessive 5G tariff will block many users. Compared with the 5G experience, most users should be more concerned about chip performance. Because for smart terminal devices, the performance of the chip will directly affect the user experience.
So how does the Tanggula T770 perform?
According to the official data, the Tanggula T770 is equipped with 4 A76 CPU cores and 4 A55 CPU cores, and the GPU is the Mail G57.
The overall configuration is not eye-catching, and it belongs to the low-end positioning products. Although 6nm belongs to the category of advanced technology, 6nm is also not a selling point when 4nm chips have been mass-produced and 3nm technology is ready.
Overall, the Tanggula T770 chip is just a qualified 5G mobile phone entry processor.
However, considering that Zhan Rui has just entered the 5G chip track, it is not easy for Tanggula T770 to achieve this result.
Moreover, compared with the configuration parameters of Tanggula T770, another data released by the official is more eye-catching. Tanggula T770 has a 100% performance improvement over the previous generation.
This means that the Tanggula 5G chip research and development team is familiar with chip design, the team is running more and more excellent, if you can maintain the trend of chip performance upgrades, it is not impossible for Zhanrui chips to impact the mid-end and even the high-end market in the future.
Write at the end
It is worth mentioning that the second-generation 5G chip platform of Zhan Rui does not only contain Tanggula T770 and T760. In addition, ZhanRui has also developed more than ten RF front-end chips for users to choose. Moreover, each chip meets the standard of mass production.
According to Zhou Chen, general manager of ZhanRui Consumer Electronics Division, Zhanrui 5G products are about to enter the fast lane of development. In each of the following years, ZhanRui will launch at least one new Tanggula 5G chip.
In your opinion, can Zhan Rui carry the banner of the rise of domestic chips?
