Another Chinese enterprise joined RISC-V, and China's push will break the monopoly of ARM

Recently, there is a rumor that Tencent has officially become a member of RISC-V, and also participated as a senior member. It can be seen how much confidence Tencent has in the research and development of RISC-V architecture, indicating that China's wafer industry is making efforts to develop RISC-V architecture, thus breaking through the dominance of ARM.

Tencent has made some achievements in the field of chips. They have released the "Zixiao" AI chip, "Canghai" and "Xuanling" games, which prove that they have made some achievements in the field of chips. Now they are also developing in RISC-V, and may want to launch a new product.

RISC-V and ARM have always been known for their low power consumption. That is why many companies are studying ARM servers and have achieved good results. Especially, ARM servers in China have received the greatest attention.

<div style="width:100%;text-align:center;">However, China's wafer factories were severely treated by ARM this year, and suspended their business with a Chinese technology company this year. In the near future, they will no longer provide higher NeoverseV series patents to Chinese manufacturers, for which NeoverseV series products are developed.

China's fabs will soon enter the RISC-V architecture. RISC-V's structure is more flexible and its technology is more advanced. The RISC-V technology of the United States is the first to study RISC-V technology. Obviously, RISC-V is also a good choice for server chips.

In fact, China has made a great contribution to the RISC-V architecture. Alibaba has developed the RISC-V architecture several years ago, and has been widely used in the Internet of Things chip market in China. There have been 3 billion RISC-V sales, while China's RISC-V has sold 5 billion RISC-Vs, which also made RISC-V exceed 10 billion RISC-Vs in July, which is five years faster.

Since the application of RISC-V chips in the field of chips has been successful, Chinese chips are also actively promoting RISC-V into the field of mobile phone chips, PC processors and server chips, and the move of ARM companies will undoubtedly enable China to accelerate the promotion of RISC-V into the field of server chips. In this way, Chinese chips will give up ARM, which will be a heavy impact on ARM.

If Chinese chips can achieve great success in servo chips, then Chinese chips will further promote RISC-V and break through ARM's hegemony in the field of chips, which is what ARM would not like to see.

ARM's dominant position in the field of chips is inseparable from China's mobile phones, which account for more than six percent of the world's mobile phones, and China's chips have also launched a fierce confrontation between ARM and Intel in the field of tablet computers, which has forced ARM to give up its intention to enter the field of wafer, but now ARM has taken such an attitude towards China's chips, which has led to ARM's current position with the support of the world, Without Chinese chips as support, ARM would lose its main backbone.
