fast technology reported on august 29 that at today's data conference, huawei executives attended and made important speeches.

a huawei executive said, "through system design and engineering construction, we can solve the problems of our overall digital center's capabilities, computing power, and analytical capabilities, and eliminate our generation gap in chips."

in huawei's view, ai data centers consume a lot of energy, and artificial intelligence consumes even more energy, requiring a combination of data and energy.

prior to this, huawei's executive director zhang pingan once said that it would be very, very good if we can solve the 7nm semiconductor problem.

regarding the well-known status of chinese chips, zhang pingan said: "we will definitely not get 3nm, and we will definitely not get 5nm. it would be very, very good if we can solve 7nm."

zhang pingan also believes that the direction of china's chip innovation must rely on the direction of our chip capabilities. it cannot be based on a single chip process, but should focus on system architecture and give full play to our bandwidth capabilities. we hope to use space, bandwidth and energy to exchange for our chip defects.

in fact, 7nm is not necessary. surveys show that by 2023, china's automotive industry and other industries will require a large number of mature process semiconductors above 28 nanometers, which currently accounts for 29% of the global production capacity.
