Chinese chipmaker launches 14nm AI processor that's 90% cheaper than GPUs — $140 chip's older node sidesteps US sanctions
If there's a way to sidestep sanctions, you know China is on that beat.
Still, if they can maintain the starting ~1000 yuan cost long-term, Intellifusion may achieve their goal of "90% cheaper AI hardware" that still "covers 90% of scenarios". Besides the other expected components of SoCs, this specialized (a 1.8 GHz 2+8 cores RISC CPU, GPU up to 800 MHz in DeepEdge 10), the effective NPU onboard makes this a pretty tasty option inside its market. The DeepEdge chips use "independent and controllable domestic technology" and a RISC-V core to support extensive model training and inference deployment.
