China’s first commercial reconfigurable fifth-generation chip, the Pofeng 8676 chip, has been showcased on Alibaba’s e-commerce site Taobao recently in an online store run by an agency under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Although China Mobile’s research unit released the chip in August, it has yet to be made publicly available for sale. The store currently features 16 prototypes, among which is the world’s first 100,000-ton deep-water semi-submersible oil production and storage platform, China’s self-developed Deep Sea No.1. Shoppers are urged not to place orders but can add these showcased products to their shopping carts to boast about having “the most hardcore China-produced goods.” [Guancha News, in Chinese]
