Huaxia Chip was a rising star among China’s original computer processor intellectual property (IP) designers. However, despite a voracious appetite for all things IT, the company now appears to be bankrupt and set to be liquidated. Obviously, something must have gone wrong, and machine translations of variousChinese news reportshint that the courts will find “dishonest persons subject to execution.” Don’t worry though, as we looked more carefully at the original wording and translations, and the people involved will more likely face consequences such as equity and trading freezes – nothing fatal....

China planning 1,600-core chips that use an entire wafer — similar to American company Cerebras 'wafer-scale' designs

It is getting harder and harder to increase transistor density with every new generation of chips, so chipmakers are looking for other ways to increase performance of their processors, which includes architectural innovations, larger die sizes, multi-chiplet designs, and even wafer-scale chips. The latter has only beenmanaged by Cerebrasso far, but it looks like Chinese developers are looking towards them as well. Apparently, they have already built a 256-core multi-chiplet design and are exploring ways to go wafer-scale, using an entire wafer to build one large chip....
