China claims to have developed the world's first AI-designed processor — LLM turned performance requests into CPU architecture (opens in new tab)

submitted by yogthos to technology2 points | 0 comments Meng is an AI system that designs entire processor chips end to end from natural language spec to to physical layout. Their QiMeng-CPU-v1 produced a 32-bit RISC-V CPU, matching Intel 486 performance with over four million logic gates, in just five hours. QiMeng-CPU-v2, rivals an Arm Cortex A53 from the 2010s, and the whole thing runs on a domain specific model that learns the graph structures of circuits the way GPT learns text. The appe...
