These are specialized solutions for network infrastructure In just a few weeks, Intel will release Meteor Lake processors, which, among other things, will be the company’s first-born, produced using the Intel 4 technical process. However, another company beat Intel itself and was the first to present its chips created using the same technical process. They were Ericsson RAN Compute.

It doesn’t make much sense to say anything about RAN Compute chips from a technical point of view, but it’s still worth noting that, according to the company itself, the high-performance RAN Processor 6672 and Radio Processor 6372 processors provide four times greater performance compared to the previous generation and can support up to six 4G and 5G modes in one device. In addition, the new chips consume 30–60% less energy, which is likely due in large part to the new technical process.

Before production stopped, the plant produced Hyundai Solaris, Hyundai Creta, Kia Rio and Kia Rio X-Line models. The production capacity of the plant, launched in 2010, was more than 200 thousand cars per year.
