Teardown Reveals Huawei's Fastest Server Chip, the Kunpeng 930, Built on TSMC 5nm With 120 TaiShan CPU Cores and 364MB L3 Cache

Huawei’s latest server chip is built on TSMC’s 5nm process

Huawei’s latest server chip – the Kunpeng 930 is built on TSMC’s 5nm architecture. The finding was revealed in a teardown video by @Kurnalsalts who shared a video of the process. The new chip should offer nearly 2x performance jump over its predecessor, though it is still a few generations away from the latest generation of Intel and AMD offerings.

Huawei's KunPeng 930 is an 80-Core CPU made on TSMC N5

Huawei's newest data center CPU, the KunPeng 930, underwent an analysis and teardown thanks to a creator named Kurnal on YouTube and BiliBili. The package is large, roughly 77.5 mm by 58.0 mm, and combines dense compute tiles manufactured at TSMC's 5 nm node with a sizable I/O die produced at SMIC on a more mature process, a possible 14 nm node. That hybrid split lets Huawei chase SRAM density and core scaling where it matters while shifting I/O…
