Tencent's efforts will help China achieve self-sufficiency on microchips. The article by Giuseppe Gagliano

Tencent Holdings launched three new self-produced chips on Wednesday, allowing the Chinese internet giant to play a role in the country's development efforts in semiconductors.

There is no doubt that chips are key components of the Internet's hardware and infrastructure. These new chips concern on the one hand artificial intelligence, which focuses mainly on image processing, video and natural language; but they also affect video transcoding and the Xuanling network interface.

What is the importance of an innovation of this kind? The Chinese multinational will allow China to quickly achieve self-sufficiency in the semiconductor sector and especially in relation to the national supply chain. In fact, let us not forget on the one hand that the autonomous production of chips is one of the priorities of the 14th Chinese five-year plan and on the other hand that this priority is also the result of the economic war between the United States and China.
