SHENZHEN/TAIPEI -- Huawei Technologies, the world’s biggest telecom equipment maker, launched a new core processor chipset on Monday for use in data center servers, a move to provide an alternative for the market to Intel's products.
The chipset dubbed Kunpeng 920, jointly developed with SoftBank-controlled U.K. chip designer Arm Holdings, delivers improved performance and reduces power consumption, Huawei said. Such advanced chips will be produced using 7-nanometer process technologies developed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s biggest contract chipmaker.
