Due to challenges in exporting high-performance processors based on x86 and Arm architectures to China, the country is gradually adopting domestically designed operating systems.

According to industry sources cited by Toms hardware, Tencent Cloud recently launched the TencentOS Server V3 operating system, which supports Chinas three major processors: Huaweis Kunpeng CPUs based on Arm, Sugons Hygon CPUs based on x86, and PhytiumsFeiTeng CPUs based on Arm.

The operating system optimizes CPU usage, power consumption, and memory usage. To optimize the operating system and domestic processors for data centers, Tencent has collaborated with Huawei and Sugon to develop a high-performance domestic database platform.

Reportedly, TencentOS Server V3 can run GPU clusters, aiding Tencents AI operations. The latest version of the operating system fully supports NVIDIA GPU virtualization, enhancing processor utilization for resource-intensive services such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This innovative approach reduces the cost of purchasing NVIDIA products by nearly 60%.

TencentOS Server is already running on nearly 10 million machines, making it one of the most widely deployed Linux operating systems in China. Other companies, such as Huawei, have also developed their own operating systems, like OpenEuler.
