It has 80 Arm cores
While Chinese video cards are very far from modern solutions from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel, Chinese processors are developing at a very impressive pace. Phytium has shown off its new processor, which is capable of competing with AMD CPUs based on the Zen 3 architecture.
Chinese Arm processor capable of competing with 24-core AMD Epyc on Zen 3.
More precisely, the company compares its FTC870 with the server AMD Epyc 7443. Let us recall that the latter has 24 cores, a TDP of 200 W, and operates at frequencies up to 4 GHz. The FTC870, in turn, is based on the Arm architecture and operates at a frequency of only 3 GHz. The new product has 80 cores and 64 MB of third-level cache. There is also an eight-channel DDR5-4800 controller and 64 PCIe 5.0 lanes.
Interestingly, the company planned to release such a CPU back in 2021, but due to US sanctions the process has slowed down, so such CPUs will only be released now.
