Texas Instruments is a great thing, as can be seen from the long list of world No. 1 titles he has achieved.

The first commercial transistor, the first integrated circuit, the first single-chip electronic computer, the first speech synthesthesizer, and the first single-chip commercial digital signal processor......

and a series of pioneering titles in the field of semiconductors.

In industrial control chips, digital analog chips, communication chips, professional integrated circuits and single-chip microcomputers, it is the existence of industry hegemons.

Even Zhang Damou and Zhang Dajing, who left the company, one founded TSMC, and the other founded SMIC.

Wang Anran didn't expect that this prehistoric giant crocodile was also interested in Huaxin Technology's athlon instruction architecture.

You know, it's not that Texas hasn't worked personal computer processors, and in the 386,486 years, Texas Instruments had corresponding products.

It's a pity that in the x86 field, Texas Instruments did enter late, and unlike AMD and cyrix, the pioneer Intel obviously showed jealousy and hostility to the big brother in the industry.

Intel could license its own patents to AMD or its own patents to cyrix, but it was Texas Instruments' turn and Intel closed the door.

Texas Instruments spent a lot of effort to break through the patent blockade of the Intel Alliance, and to their dismay, Texas Instruments did not release a brilliant PC CPU.

The same thing happened again ten years later, Qualcomm, which has always existed as a little brother, put a moral state instrument on the new chip of mobile phone processing.

In fact, Texas Instruments can throw Qualcomm two streets in mobile phone CPU processors, and the mips processors they launched are at the top level in the world in terms of power consumption and performance.

However, the weakness is also obvious.

That's the baseband.

Although Qualcomm's CPU is not good, in the communication baseband, people are ahead, and Qualcomm has performed a dazzling cross-licensing method to launch a basket of mobile phone chip solutions.

For mobile phone manufacturers, Qualcomm is simply a model of conscientious enterprises, as long as they buy Qualcomm's chips, they can avoid complicated patent licensing issues.

Naturally, Texas Instruments also wanted to join the patent alliance led by Qualcomm, but unfortunately, Qualcomm closed the door without hesitation.

At this time, Texas Instruments, on the desktop processor, is like an outdated boss, watching a group of former little brothers sing on the stage, but they can't do anything.

And CEO Anderson has an appeal on desktop processors.

It's just that in the face of the internal and external conditions at this time, there is ambition and helplessness.

However, the birth of Huaxin Technology has rekindled Anderson's almost extinguished hope.

Anderson was in dire need of something about his personal processor, and he sensed that his position at Texas Instruments was not secure.

History has shown that Anderson's feelings are accurate, and in a few months' time, his right-hand man Angie Boll will take his place.

The first thing Anderson did when he came to power was to cut the CPU division that Anderson had worked so hard to establish, and the focus of the entire Texas Instruments was shifted to the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chip project.

Since then, Texas Instruments has thoroughly said bye bye with personal computer processors!

History has changed because of the emergence of Huaxin Technology.

Anderson did not watch himself be replaced by others as he did in his previous life.

He has a choice.

Facts have proved that Huaxin Technology's Athlon CPU architecture is a mature design.

If you combine the open-source instruction set architecture with Texas Instruments' decades of accumulation in CPU technology.

What will it look like?

Anderson is looking forward to it, and has organized several meetings to coordinate and integrate Texas Instruments' internal resources.

............

As far as Wang Anran is concerned, he has a positive attitude towards the choice of Texas Instruments.

The reason is very simple, Texas Instruments, as a big man in the industry, can be affirmed by Texas Instruments, in any case, Huaxin Technology's godhead on CPU processors has been preliminarily laid.

In the same way, Wang Anran is also afraid of Texas Instruments.

Don't look at Texas Instruments' unreleased 386,486 processors, but it can't be concluded that Texas Instruments' CPU design level is very poor.

The answer is no.

Texas Instruments has spent a lot of effort to circumvent the patents of the Intel patent alliance, and in the design of CPU circuits, it is often necessary to add tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of invalid circuits.

And what makes Wang Anran envious and jealous the most is that Texas Instruments has the same world's top strength as Intel and IBM in the chip processing business.

Even a few months later, a chip production process with a 180-nanometer process will be introduced, and for the first time, 100 million transistors will be integrated on a single chip.

Of course, this chip is a bit big, similar to a child's slap, and the power consumption is also touching, compared to three or five induction cookers, it is not weak at all, and it can only be suppressed with the top liquid nitrogen coffin board.

"What would happen if we used Texas Instruments' 180nm production process to help Huaxin Technology OEM the next generation of processors? ”

Wang Anran took a long breath, this is the rhythm of Intel to be wiped out, 180nm production process, Wang Anran is confident that he will design a p4-level processor, and the performance is far more than the most advanced Pentium 166 dozens of times.

It's blood-pumping to think about.

"Shaohua, I need detailed information about Texas Instruments, corporate executives, shareholders, ongoing projects, projects, company business, partners, etc., as detailed as possible. ”

"Mr. Wang, I need to understand your intentions so that I can deploy the next plan. ”

Wang Anran took a sip of water and said, "Huaxin Technology needs to establish a strategic partnership with Texas Instruments, and I need detailed information to evaluate how to achieve this goal." ”

Mo Shaohua nodded and said: "Mr. Wang, Texas Instruments has always been the object of our observation, according to the information we know, Anderson, the current helmsman of Texas Instruments, his situation is not very good!"

In the previous life, when the senior management of Texas Instruments changed and An Jiber came to power, Wang Anran was interning at IBM at that time, and this kind of major event that shook the industry naturally attracted Wang Anran's attention.

It can be said unceremoniously that Wang Anran knows better than many people the high-level trend of Texas Instruments during this time.

The reason why Wang Anran was very concerned about the dynamics of Texas Instruments, in fact, what he wanted to go to most at that time was Texas Instruments.

Compared with IBM, the situation of the Chinese at Texas Instruments is much better, for a simple example, TSMC's Zhang Damou can become the vice president of Texas Instruments in the 80s.

At IBM, it is almost impossible for a Chinese to climb to the top of the company.

What makes Wang Anran haunted is that Texas Instruments didn't take a fancy to him at the beginning, and Wang Anran was brushed off in the first round of interviews.

And the interviewer at that time was Angiebo.
