The British giant announces its decision
"Chip" problem is the biggest technical problem that plagues the mainland at present, which is why "lack of core and less soul" will become a hot spot of public attention, and in order to solve these two problems, mainland enterprises have also made great efforts, and now in the operating system, breakthrough development has been made, but in the chip field, because its industrial chain is too lengthy, so it is very difficult to break through in a short period of time, so Huawei is also in the key industrial chain layout, rather than the entire industrial chain layout.
As for the remaining related industrial chains, many high-tech enterprises and scientific research institutions in the mainland are also constantly increasing, among which in terms of chip instruction set architecture, Loongson Zhongke has realized the mainland's chip instruction set architecture from scratch, and EDA software, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has also recently passed the good news, a series of technological breakthroughs have given us more confidence in the face of the future chip localization development.
However, in this process, there are some troubles also appeared immediately, in the recent period, the high-level replacement of Anmou Technology has attracted the keen attention of public opinion at home and abroad, and foreign media have interpreted this decision on the replacement of the senior management of Anmou Technology as a softbank company through ARM Company to regain the control of Anmou Technology.
Here to explain, Anmou Technology is not a subsidiary of ARM, but a joint venture between ARM and Mainland Capital to serve the mainland market, and because Chinese capital accounts for more than 51%, so the control has been in the hands of the mainland, but on April 30, ARM's public relations company said in the email sent that Anmou Technology has hired a new CEO, and the official seal and business license have also been updated, this wave of operations out, It seems to mean that ARM, the British giant, began to announce its decision to the outside world, saying that it had successfully gained control, otherwise the announcement would not have been sent from ARM's public relations company.
The academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was indeed not wrong
On May 6, the newly appointed senior management of Anmou Technology also appeared, and negated the relevant speculation of the outside world, indicating that foreign companies have no control over Anmou Technology, but even so, public opinion still has a lot of doubts and uncertainties.
As for the truth, it is still unknown, but what needs to be clear is that from the perspective of the storm of the high-level replacement of Anmou Technology Company this time, it is still coming, before Anmou Technology has independent authorization capabilities in the domestic market, it is now increasing a lot of uncertainty, which also makes the ARM architecture can continue to maintain a neutral position.
In the face of today's situation, I have to say that Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is indeed right, at the 16th China Core Integrated Circuit Industry Promotion Conference held on December 20, 2021, Academician Ni Guangnan said that the mainland can properly focus on the RISC-V architecture to develop the chip industry, so as to seize the opportunity of rapid development of China's chip industry, and is not constrained by foreign monopoly architectures, and firmly grasps the initiative in the development of the chip industry in its own hands.
The reason why Academician Ni Guangnan said this is because the RISC-V architecture is different from the ARM architecture, which is a completely open source instruction set architecture, which can maintain a neutral and open existence at any time.
summary
Now Anmou technology high-level replacement storm is indeed a reverie, if the future ARM architecture is really no longer for the mainland high-tech enterprises, then its impact may exceed the TSMC stop foundry, because TSMC stopped oem, the mainland can also achieve domestic controllable supply on the 28nm production line, but if the ARM architecture stops authorizing, then the mainland based on the ARM architecture design chip will be difficult to get follow-up iteration, this impact involves the entire related software and hardware ecology, It can even cause the development of the chip industry to stagnate.
Therefore, the development of RISC-V architecture is imperative, of course, in addition, the mainland also has LoongArch architecture independently developed by LoongArch, but at present it is necessary to give LoongArch architecture room for growth, so the best solution is that the development of ARM architecture maintains the status quo, and the development of RISC-V architecture and LoongArch architecture begins to accelerate.
After all, no one knows whether the ARM architecture can always be supplied.
Science and technology self-media writers interpret different technologies from different perspectives.
