China Developing 1.57 Exaflop Supercomputer With China Made CPU-GPU Chip

There are reports that China has a new superchip MT-3000 processor designed by the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT). The MT-3000 has general-purpose CPU cores, control cores, and matrix accelerator cores. NUDT’s MT-3000 processor features a multi-zone structure that packs 16 general-purpose CPU cores with 96 control cores and 1,536 accelerator cores.

The MT-3000 processor reportedly achieves 11.6 FP64 TFLOPS of peak performance and demonstrates a power efficiency of 45.4 GigaFLOPS/Watt at an operational frequency of 1.20 GHz.

The Tianhe-3 a new supercomputer reported to be able to reachi 1.57 ExaFLOPS on LINPACK benchmarks. Tianhe-3 would use the MT-3000 at its core. The top US supercomputer is the Frontier with 1.102 ExaFLOPS of performance.
