Oriental Computing’s DF1000 is pitched as a 14nm chip with Hopper-like utility
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-23
- A post and quoted article about Oriental Computing argues its DF1000 chip may offer Hopper-class utility on 14nm despite running hot.
- The image claims 6.4 TB/s bandwidth today and speculates about 20 TB/s by 2027, comparing its bandwidth-per-watt favorably with NVIDIA parts.
- The write-up says the chip uses wafer-level DRAM-Logic hybrid bonding, cutting interconnect distance by over 90% versus traditional 2.5D+HBM approaches.
- It also highlights a heterogeneous rack-scale system shown with MetaX, plus an open-sourced programming stack called CAAP built around a three-level dataflow paradigm.
- The image quotes company CEO Wei Shaojun and notes his long involvement in China’s domestic chip industry and national chip programs.
