Montage Technology, one of China's many fabless semiconductor companies, has launched the new Jintide C6P series of server processors. The C6P chips, based on Intel's Granite Rapids platform with additional security and tracking features, are designed explicitly for the Chinese market.
Montage Technology, along with China's renowned Tsinghua University, struck a special deal with Intel back in 2016. Under the chip venture, Montage Technology could reconfigure Intel's Xeon processors with added Chinese-specific security features and subsequently commercialize them in the Chinese market. Having launched the fifth-generation Jintide chips, based on Emerald Rapids, two years ago, Montage Technology has now progressed to the sixth-generation Jintide platform, leveraging Granite Rapids' design.
