Phytium introduced the first processor after two years of silence.

Phytium, a Chinese company that has been blacklisted by the U.S. government since April 2021, has unveiled its first 64-core Feiteng Tengyun S2500 processor for data centers at the Global Memory Industry Innovation Forum 2023 after two years of silence.

The Feiteng Tengyun S2500 processor is based on 64 FTC661 cores that use the Armv8 instruction architecture. This processor is specifically designed for cloud computing and high-performance applications. It is an improved version of the FT processor-2000+/64 2021 year. The Feiteng S2500 includes a high-capacity shared L3 cache, four direct connection ports with a total throughput of 800 Gbps, improved security capabilities for cloud servers, and a more robust memory subsystem.

However, it remains unclear where the company makes this processor, as it does not have access to the production facilities of the world's largest semiconductor companies. Even if Phytium decides to apply to the Chinese company SMIC, the latter will have to obtain a special export license from the US government, since it uses American technologies in the production of microchips.

In addition to the Feiteng Tengyun S2500, Phytium Technology also demonstrated its existing Feiteng Tengrui D2000 processors for desktops and laptops, as well as the Feiteng Tenglong E2000 for embedded applications.

Despite the uncertain future of Phytium processors, given that the company had to revise its entire roadmap after being blacklisted by the US government in 2021, it is obvious that it has not stopped developing hardware. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Huawei has launched a project to combine the hardware and software ecosystems of its Kunpeng processors and Phytium's Feiteng processors.
