This title is misleading, should be "Huawei claims to unveil Industry's Highest-Performance ARM-Based CPU"

We reduced the title above.

Does it really need pointing out that a headline on huawai.com is a claim by Huawai?

It's less that it's a claim by Huawei and more that the claims haven't been verified independently. Competitive benchmarking has a long history of results which are hard to reproduce and comparisons which “accidentally” left the competing product in an unusual state, so it's prudent to distrust them until they can be verified independently.

It's absolutely standard to do that for press releases.

It's a press release. They're always worded like that.

I am not sure what industry you are in but if you go read press releases from the likes of most of the networking companies you see all the time “bob networking unveils the biggest flubar...” or the like as standard practice. Heck I have had to edit some of these for technical correctness before the marketing team puts their foot in it..

Where are you looking?

For Cisco, their press releases seem to be here: https://newsroom.cisco.com/pressreleases

I haven't looked through all of them because I'm lazy, but scrolling through them I haven't yet found one that isn't in the 3rd person.

And in case anyone is wondering why they do that: press releases are intended to be used in an article verbatim. Headline and all. Press releases are written from third person perspective because that's how a reporter would write it.

And if you go on Google and search some text from a press release, you'll find tons of articles using the headline and body completely verbatim like it's their own article. This is intentional.

>I'm not sure why Huawei did this.

Because that's how you do press releases.

News outlets print them verbatim, and it's traditional to read like that (as opposed to e.g. "we released a CPU" which on a news outlet it would make it seem like the outlet's team released the CPU").

Well, they probably do have the title for now. What they have done is interesting, even if marketing had to smear it.

I dunno. Fujitsu's A64FX has incredible specifications.

Fujitsu's A64FX is 7nm-class, and has those SVE extensions for incredible throughput. It is expected to be in several supercomputers soon.

I expect that the A64FX is the fastest ARM in the world.

The Huawei specs are still a bit to limited for a full comparison, but it does use the same process.

The big questions involve how Huawei's 8 DDR4 channels compare to Fujitsu's 4 HBM2 banks, how Huawei's 64 cores compare to Fujitsu's 48.

Even if their IP is worse, they seem to have brute-forced their way to the top.
