Huawei Kirin 9000S electronic microscope pro forensic:
"The most shocking finding is that when direct comparisons are done on identical IP, the Arm A510 for Huawei’s Kirin 9000S built on SMIC’s N+2 (7nm) and 2022 Qualcomm’s S8G1 built on Samsung’s 4LPX (4nm) process. The performance and power consumption of the Arm A510 cores are effectively on par with each other despite the process technology gap.
Put simply, Kirin 9000S is a better designed chip than the West realizes. .. We cannot overstate how scary this is."

So Ascend 910C can be impressive too as it seems.
* Moreover, Alibaba Cloud's Qwen2 has already secured its position as the world's most powerful open source big model.
