Chapter 452: The Chip Problem
However, when it comes to chips, Chen Yu is thinking about the layout of chips in the future.
There are many types of chips, including computers, mobile phones, electronic products, and large servers.
It's almost fair to say that any electronic product needs a chip.
At this time, the most familiar to the public is the computer chip, that is, the CPU, Chinese called the central processing unit.
Chinese people have a dream of chips, and they dream of having a Chinese core.
But unfortunately, because of the late start, China has not been able to have a Chinese core.
To this end, the state has also spent a huge amount of money to support relevant institutions, hoping to produce one.
But after decades of hard work, the computer chip has not developed much.
Even, there have been disgusting counterfeiting incidents in the field of chips.
A professor named Chen Jun held a Motorola chip and then found a migrant worker to polish off the Motorola logo with gauze paper...... In this way, with this chip, he successfully fooled countless people. If it hadn't been revealed later, I'm afraid that this scam would have continued for several years.
However, Chen Yu is not interested in computer CPUs.
The reason for the lack of interest is that basically in the past ten years, it has not been possible to solve it in China.
It's not just technical, it's Microsoft.
Even if you have the technology to make your own computer CPU, if it is not compatible with the Microsoft operating system, it is useless.
The second reason is that the world will change very quickly in the future.
You think that the computer CPU is the center of this world, and in the blink of an eye, it will become a marginal product.
Chen Yu is interested in mobile phone chips.
In fact, in the future development of chips, mobile phones are the focus.
The famous Intel, AMD...... and other chip giants, they may not be able to think of it.
It doesn't take 10 years, just a few years later, mobile phone chips can completely challenge their position.
Even, many years later, Volkswagen didn't even know about Intel and AMD.
In their eyes, Qualcomm, MediaTek, HiSilicon...... is the representative of the chip.
It's just that when it comes to Qualcomm, MediaTek, including HiSilicon, they are not completely their own chips.
These chips all come from Arm.
Arm itself does not produce its own chips, and its main model is to provide chip designs to major mobile phone manufacturers around the world.
Other mobile phone manufacturers are authorized by ARM to develop their own chips.
Basically, it can be said that the chip looks like it can be developed by itself, but the technology still belongs to someone else.
As soon as ARM stops licensing a company, a crisis arises.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu began to study ARM company.
Arm is a chip design company founded in 1991, mainly composed of Apple, Nokia, Acorn...... Co-founded. Of course, the arm company itself was also like Intel, designing and producing its own chips. However, because the shipments were not good and the performance was not much, Arm made a far-reaching decision not to produce chips themselves, they only need to license the chip design to other companies and they can produce them.
It is this decision that has led to the blossoming of ARM chips everywhere and has become the object of cooperation among countless manufacturers.
"Alas, headache. ”
After studying it, Chen Yu was a little dizzy.
Even if it is as strong as Huawei in the previous life, it is still subject to foreign countries in the chip area.
"It's better to buy ARM. ”
Today's ARM is far from being the ARM of later generations.
At this time, smartphones had not yet exploded, and Arm's profits were not very good.
At the same time, even Arm didn't expect how powerful it was.
If you pay a sum of money, you can really buy it.
But this thought was only thought about for a while, and Chen Yu felt that it was impossible.
It's not a question of money or not.
Even if you want to buy it, no one else wants to sell it.
This involves core technology, even if you want to buy it, even the founder wants to sell it, but the United Kingdom, where Arm belongs, will prohibit you from completing the transaction.
This is normal.
How many companies have been stopped by these countries when they buy foreign companies.
However, Chen Yu decided to give it a try.
He called Zhou Yifei over and said the idea of acquiring ARM.
It's just a pity that when they made a little contact with ARM, the other party directly chose to refuse.
Not to mention an acquisition, even if it is a shareholding, the other party is unwilling.
"Forget it. ”
Chen Yu was helpless.
Since this path doesn't work, let's think of another way.
"By the way, talk to Dean Li Biqing. ”
Chen Yu is not a computer major, in fact, he does not know much about computers.
His strength is his grasp of the future market.
But when it comes to technology, he really can't do it.
"Dean Li, do you have classes in the afternoon?"
took out his mobile phone, Chen Yu called Li Biqing.
"Chen Yu, you kid, why did you think of calling me. ”
"Hehe, I'm going back to school. ”
"Classes, less coming, how many classes do you take a year?"
Li Biqing counted Chen Yu.
"How can I be, I want to come to class too, isn't this company busy all the time. ”
"It seems like you've been in the mobile phone space again lately. ”
"There's a mobile phone that's going to be launched. ”
"Yes, I was chatting with a few other professors just now, and they laughed and said that you are the price butcher of the mobile phone industry, and you are going to cry when you beat all the mobile phone manufacturers. ”
"It's all not very technical. ”
"By the way, Chen Yu, you haven't said why you're looking for me. ”
"Actually, it's nothing, I want to hear your computer lessons. ”
"Computer lessons?"
"That's right. ”
"Didn't you study economics?"
"I don't hate the book when I use it, and I have no problem with economics, but when I encounter technical problems, I have a headache. ”
"Okay, I don't have classes in the afternoon, you come to my office. ”
"Okay. ”
Chen Yu nodded.
Half an hour later, he was back at Deep City University.
"Yo, Chen Yu, so fast?"
"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Professor Zhou, this is Professor Wang, this is Professor Liu, all of them are experts in our computer science department in Shencheng. ”
As soon as Chen Yu arrived, Li Biqing introduced the other three professors to Chen Yu.
"Three professors, this is Chen Yu, I wanted to bring him to our computer department, but this kid couldn't help it, but he didn't agree, saying that he wanted to study economics. ”
Regarding Chen Yu's rejection of Li Biqing, Li Biqing complained and said.
"Dean Li, I was wrong, is it okay for me to apply for a computer again?"
"Are you going to study two majors?"
"I guess so. ”
"Yes, but forget it, I don't think you're good at computers. ”
"Why ......?"
"Why else, look at your Huanyu Technology, it's so big, and it doesn't have any technical content at all. ”
"Poof......
Chen Yu couldn't laugh or cry.
It seems to make sense.
Huanyu Technology really doesn't have much technical content.
However, Chen Yu still said: "Dean Li, there are actually some technologies, but they all involve technologies such as the Internet. But as you know on the Internet, technology isn't particularly big. ”
"Okay, okay, you should study economics, it doesn't matter if you learn computer or not. ”
Li Biqing just said, but he didn't really blame Chen Yu for not reporting his computer department.
"Yes, computers are still just a technology after all, but economics is much bigger than computers. Presumably, the fact that you can do so much is also related to your economic skills. ”
Professor Wang on the side also said.
"This ...... Perhaps. ”
Chen Yu snorted.
He would say that it had nothing to do with economics, and that I had done it all myself.
