[CES 2019]: Huawei announces industry’s highest performing ARM-based CPU, Kunpeng 920

“It is built using the latest 7nm process and integrates 64 cores at a frequency of 2.6 GHz”

At the CES 2019 Chinese manufacturer Huawei has announced a new CPU called Kunpeng 920. Touted as the industry’s highest-performance ARM-based CPU, Kunpeng 920 has been designed for boosting the development of computing in big data, distributed storage, and ARM-native application scenarios. Built using the latest 7nm process, it significantly improves processor performance by optimising branch prediction algorithms, increasing the number of OP units, and improving the memory subsystem architecture. Kunpeng 920 integrates 64 cores at a frequency of 2.6 GHz and 8-channel DDR4, with memory bandwidth exceeding incumbent offerings by 46 percent.

Kunpeng 920 supports PCIe 4.0 and CCIX interfaces, and provides a total bandwidth of 640 Gbps. Huawei claims that “the single-slot speed on its chipset is twice that of the incumbent offerings” which effectively improves storage performance and various accelerators. According to the company, the Kunpeng 920 CPU (at typical frequency) scores over 930 in the SPECint Benchmarks test, which is 25 percent higher than the industry benchmark and offers 30 percent better power efficiency than industry counterparts. Kunpeng 920 has been designed to provide high computing performance for data centres while reducing power consumption.

“Huawei has continuously innovated in the computing domain in order to create customer value. We believe that, with the advent of the intelligent society, the computing market will see continuous growth in the futurethe ARM industry is seeing a new development opportunity. The Kunpeng 920 CPU and TaiShan will primarily be used in big data, distributed storage, and ARM-native applications. We will work with global partners in the spirit of openness, collaboration, and shared success to drive the development of the ARM ecosystem and expand the computing space, and embrace a diversified computing era,” said William Xu, Director and Chief Strategy Marketing Officer of Huawei.
