Montage Technology, a Chinese IP semiconductor company, has announced its second-generation Jintide processors based on Intel's Xeon processor with some security-related customizations. The new processor has more cores than the previous generation model and runs at a significantly higher frequency, with 26 concurrent multi-threaded cores running up to 3,20 GHz and incorporates 35,75 MB of latest-level cache. (1.375 MB per core). The 512nd generation Jintide processor is based on Intel's XNUMXnd generation Xeon Scalable processor with Cascade Lake microarchitecture and therefore supports Intel Deep Learning (DL) Boost technology (instruction AVXXNUMXVNNI).
Semi-custom Xeons for China
The main difference between Montage's Jintide processor platform and Intel's Xeon Scalable platform is support for platform-level hardware security enhancements, including preflighting (PrC) technologies. ) and DSC (dynamic security control). To take advantage of the benefits of Montage Jintide, server manufacturers must use Montage's Hybrid Security Dual Inline Memory Module (HSDIMM), available exclusively from the company. DSC technology was originally developed by Tsinghua University. The method is based on a special security verification engine that tracks processor behavior, memory sniffing, and I/O sniffing. Also, the engine can offload some cryptographic workloads (eg using Chinese algorithms ) using built-in or external hardware. Jintide Montage processors are exclusively available in China. Montage reportedly demonstrated several server models running Montage's second-generation Jintide processors. It's unclear exactly when the new machines will be available, but it makes sense to expect users of the first-generation Jintide platforms to embrace their successors due to significantly higher performance and additional learning capabilities. thoroughly.
