Why It Matters
The paper was released on ChinaXiv, a platform for non-peer-reviewed scientific research. It addresses thermal concerns related to the Tau Scaling Law.
It was published on Friday on ChinaXiv, a publication platform for scientific papers that have yet to be peer reviewed.
Despite heat being “the sharpest concern on Tau Scaling Law”, the company’s measurements for its new Kirin chip “turned that objection upside down”, He wrote.
The paper said the Kirin 2026 chip ran cooler than its predecessor, while packing 55 per cent more transistors per square millimetre and cutting power use by up to 66 per cent on some key tasks.
The new chip reduces power consumption while increasing transistor density, allowing it to flexibly switch between functional constraints and peak performance.
Open Questions
- Will the findings be validated by peer review?
- When will the chip enter mass production?
