Chapter 60: Friends on the Motherboard
A mask, if understood simply and crudely, is equivalent to a negative after a camera has been exposed. It's just that Chen Jianguo has only been there for two months, and he will make a mask?
Facing Su Yuanshan's doubts, Chen Jianguo smiled and said: "Our people in the past were responsible for restoring the mask, and we stumbled upon some existing technologies that could be improved slightly. β
Su Yuanshan nodded and read it quickly, he didn't know much about the specific technology of the lithography machine, so he couldn't judge the value of these two technologies. However, he only observed from the intuition of engaging in technology, and these two technologies should belong to the discovery of inspiration, not the kind of technology that comes from tackling key problems.
After looking at the patent ownership, he smiled and asked Lin Yonggu, "What is the level of these two technologies?"
"The idea is amazing and your people are great. Lin Yonggu did not answer the technology positively, but he did not hesitate to praise: "And it is very practical, you must know that there are so many technologies covered by the fab, and any little progress is worth looking forward to." β
"That's right. Su Yuanshan put away the documents and put them away. UMC and Yuanxin had a detailed agreement on the patented inventions that may be involved when they decided to cooperate, and all inventions in cooperation are considered joint inventions, but the patent share is different.
"So how are you doing now?
"It is estimated that it will be a while, and now everyone is becoming more and more proficient in YuanICCAD, and there is an urge to simply redesign the chip. Lin Yonggu said with a self-deprecating smile: "But I am reluctant to do the work that has been done for so long, and even if it is redesigned, it can't avoid the X86 architecture." β
Su Yuanshan said as if very casually: "Then have you considered the RISC instruction set?"
Lin Yonggu was stunned: "Do you mean ARM's architecture authorization? Or develop one yourself?"
"Architecture is authorized, but not ARM's. Su Yuanshan walked into the bedroom and took out his briefcase: "We have a YX architecture based on a reduced instruction set, and we have just designed the first 32-bit CPU, YX01, and the indicators are very good." I thought I would be able to catch up with CEBIT in Hannover in March, but now it seems that I can only catch up with your computer show in June. β
At present, exhibitions from all walks of life are the best channel for manufacturers to promote their products. Take the IT industry as an example, CEBIT in Hannover, Germany, COMDEX in Las Vegas, and Computex TAIPEI (Taipei Computer Show) are the three most prestigious computer exhibitions.
For a long time, China participated in these exhibitions with the purpose of "long knowledge", and after returning, he had to write various reports, which was known as the modern version of "opening his eyes to see the world". However, after Yuanxin made a big splash in Las Vegas last year, it still has some hope for Yuanxin this year, and contacted Yuanxin as early as a year ago to ask if it would participate in CEBIT.
Su Yuanshan wanted to actively participate...... But there was really nothing to get hold of in March. In addition, Xi Xiaoding had already said that he would open a branch in Europe, so he directly showed his face from Xinghai with the latest version of EDA. However, since it is good, Yuanxin also has to say that it is ready to send the UESTC single-chip microcontroller that his father and them made directly to show the two of them, and how many waves can be stirred up depends on luck.
After all, the foreign single-chip microcomputer market has been very mature, as a new single-chip microcomputer, before the development of convincing systems and applications, it is difficult to step into the market with one foot.
Therefore, Yuanxin's main focus is still on the International Radio and Television Technology Exhibition in Las Vegas in April this year and Computex TAIPEI in June.
In April, Yuanxin will directly launch VCD and cordless phones. In June, Yuanxin will directly launch YX01CPU.
As for COMDEX'92 in November, it dependsβbut either way, as a newly established and in-stock tech company, these shows are a must-run.
Su Yuanshan handed Lin Yonggu the theoretical parameters of the YX01 that was currently running in the simulation, and looked at Chen Jianguo with a smile on his back: "Senior brother, did they dig my corner over there?"
Lin Yonggu, who was just about to read the document over there, was choked by Su Yuanshan's straightforward and unsuspecting question, shook his head, and opened the file with a smile.
Chen Jianguo also smiled, he shrugged his shoulders, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently: "Although the lithography machine is quite fun, I am not a mechanic after all." β
"If you really want to be interested in learning. Switch to electronic and mechanical engineering, and when the time comes, I will study for a doctorate. Su Yuanshan put the back of his head on his arm and glanced at Lin Yonggu, only to see that Lin Yonggu was already a little stunned.
Chen Jianguo was also attracted to look at it, he knew that Qin Weimin had led a team to design a new architecture, and he also knew that his senior brother was very talented in architecture, but he didn't expect to design the first CPU so soon.
When the two saw the detailed comparison of the parameters of YX01 and ARM6, Chen Jianguo was better, and Lin Yonggu was almost out of sight.
Lin Yonggu glared at Su Yuanshan: "This is ...... Your completely patented new architecture?"
"Well, a new architecture, and in addition to the instruction set, we also have a lot of patents on caching and pipeline processing. Su Yuanshan smiled: "Are you interested, if you are interested, I can authorize you now." You can use it to improve and optimize as you like, and of course you can just use our Universal Design. β
Lin Yonggu took a few breaths, he knew that Su Yuanshan was joking - he was the director of the IC design department, and he was working on a CPU, if he went out, he would buy a U and go back, I was afraid that he would be said to be sick. What's more, he is just a middle and senior executive, and he is not qualified to buy it.
"You guys are really ......" Lin Yonggu took a few breaths, and finally smiled bitterly: "Why don't I jump to you, so that I can see how you create miracles." β
Su Yuanshan immediately said: "Okay, I'll write a letter of appointment right away." β
Of course, it's all a joke.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yonggu handed the document back to Su Yuanshan, shook his head and said, "We still have to fight, if it really doesn't work...... I would recommend choosing your architecture above. β
Saying that, Lin Yonggu looked at the time again, looked at Su Yuanshan and said, "There is still half an hour, why don't we go to the restaurant downstairs and wait?"
Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile and put all the documents into his briefcase.
When Lin Yonggu was contacted yesterday, he said that a friend who was engaged in motherboards wanted to open a factory in the mainland, but he didn't know what the situation on the mainland was now, and whether it was safe or not.
And from Lin Yonggu's obscure tone, Su Yuanshan heard that this friend of his seemed to need to find a person in the mainland who could "eat well", had credibility and a certain strength as a partner.
In Lin Yonggu's view, Su Yuanshan is undoubtedly the best candidate.
