The ZQ300/320 AI system-level chip independently developed by China Electronics Technology Research Institute 58 has completed full-link evaluation

China News Service, Beijing, September 29 (Reporter Sun Zifa) The reporter learned from China Electronics Technology on September 29 that two artificial intelligence (AI) system-on-chip (SoC) series products ZQ300/320 independently developed by China Electronics Technology 58 Research Institute have recently completed full-link evaluation and fully achieved performance indicators, meeting the intelligent needs of various types of equipment and promoting the localization of core intelligent computing chips.

These two chip products are oriented to AI application scenarios of multi-source data fusion such as visual perception, light source-signal-image data, etc., and innovatively adopt heterogeneous computing architecture to achieve deep integration and on-demand scheduling of display control computing power, graphics computing power, and intelligent computing power, and provide users with eco-friendly AI software. They can be widely used in core scenarios such as smart device terminals, unmanned platform edge computing, and real-time image processing, promoting the engineering application and large-scale deployment of China's smart computing chips in various equipment fields.

Among them, the ZQ300 chip adopts an integrated computing architecture of "universal computing power + graphics acceleration + intelligent reasoning + multi-screen display control" to achieve deep integration and on-demand scheduling of display control computing power, graphics computing power and intelligent computing power. Relying on eco-friendly AI software, we consolidate the foundation of product reliability, build rapid business deployment capabilities, and take into account system stability and product launch efficiency. The ZQ320 chip supports flexible switching between two working modes. It can run independently as an independent AI computing power unit, or can be connected to various hardware platforms with different CPU architectures to expand AI computing power for traditional hardware devices. The chip adopts an ultra-low power consumption design, which can significantly improve the battery life of the entire system.

According to the R&D team, the two artificial intelligence system-level chip central processing units (CPUs) have a maximum frequency of over 2GHz, are equipped with 24TOPS (capable of 24 trillion integer operations per second) AI computing power, and provide memory bandwidth capabilities of more than 100GB/s. They have designed a task scheduling system that conforms to the characteristics of AI end-to-end inference data flow, giving full play to the chip computing performance and providing computing power support for key systems.

CETC 58 revealed that the institute will continue to deepen core technology research, promote the development of smart computing chips to higher performance and more comprehensive scenarios, further improve the layout of independent smart computing products, and provide a solid guarantee for technological self-reliance, high-quality development of various equipment, and intelligent construction.
