Huaxintong to roll out new generation server chips

Guizhou Huaxintong Semiconductor Technology Co, a joint venture between US chip major Qualcomm and the Guizhou provincial government, is planning to roll out server chips for China by the end of this year, said a top company executive.

The announcement marks the firm's next big move close to its ambitious goal to be at the forefront in the uphill battle and gain the momentum in the rapidly expanding Chinese server market.

Huaxintong's first-generation server chip will be built using the advanced chip manufacturing process of 10 nanometers and expected to achieve the international mid-and high-level standards of performance, said Ouyang Wu, chairman of Guizhou Huaxintong.
