Rebus's return gave Wang Anran a dose of stimulant.

"Mr. Wang, I didn't expect it, this harvest has exceeded our expectations. ”

Wet cleaning process on the surface of silicon wafers, high-purity ion implantation process, plasma flushing process, as well as Huaxin Technology's shortest chemical vapor deposition process, plus a large number of more advanced wafer testing and grinding equipment.

Not only did Toshiba send drawings and technical manuals, but Toshiba also sent 17 engineers to teach them hand-in-hand.

The only regret is that Toshiba refuses to be involved in the technology of automatic control, and in addition, the manufacturing of chemical and physical materials related to process treatment.

But it's not bad!

"If all these technologies are digested, I think we should save decades of time in our research on chip production. ”

What Huaxin Technology paid was only a technology transfer fee worth 70 million US dollars, of which 70% was a loan in yen, plus the full authorization of Huaxin Technology's Athlon™ CPU instruction set architecture technology.

In Wang Anran's view, this business is not a loss, but for Rebus, there are always some hidden worries.

"Mr. Wang, the addition of Toshiba can certainly expand our influence in the Athlon™ CPU architecture, but in the same way, Toshiba will also pose a great threat to our CPU business, you know, Texas Instruments has carved up 30% of our overseas market. ”

According to the agreement, Toshiba has obtained not only the existing technology patents and authorizations of Huaxin Technology on Athlon, but also in the next three years, Huaxin Technology and Toshiba can share patents on Athlon™ CPU instruction set architecture.

"According to the agreement, Toshiba will also set up a joint CPU R&D center in Huaguo and Huaxin Technology, will we teach a tiger to come out. ”

Wang Anran shook his head, the lesser of two evils, compared to the dominance of the family, the last one didn't have to play, and now the situation couldn't be better.

Not just three years, three years later, in 2000, the mass production of the 180 nanometer manufacturing process was completed at most in 2000, and the manufacturing process restricts the design of the chip, and it will be ten years later at the earliest, the 45 nanometer manufacturing process is mature, coupled with the accumulation of decades of processor technology, there is a leap in CPU design and manufacturing technology.

Huaxin Technology has time to complete the lead in CPU technology before exploding.

"Mr. Lei, as you know, when the x86 architecture was just beginning, Intel was not the only CPU in this world. ”

When the X86 architecture first started, it was so similar to Huaxin Technology.

In the face of strong competition from Motorola, Apple, Texas Instruments, and NEC, the X86 architecture can emerge from the crowd by licensing.

For example, Intel and AMD have signed an agreement under which AMD has the right to license the production of Intel processors, and the price paid is a small fee for the technology license.

Before the 586 processor, AMD's processors could be plugged directly into Intel's motherboards, as the two processors were the same.

Rebus nodded and said: "Intel got its wish, the x86 architecture quickly became dominant on personal PCs as they thought, but, Mr. Wang, not everything is as Intel wants." ”

The consequences of indiscriminate authorization are clear.

Omitting the high R&D expenses, AMD's processors can be cheaper than Intel processors, and the performance is not bad.

As a result, AMD quickly seized a large number of markets, and even before Intel's new products were available, AMD had already launched the same product.

The rift between the two began, and because of the patent licensing after a long lawsuit, it was not until last year that mutual understanding was reached, which is also AMD in the Pentium era K5 was turned into slag in seconds, and the K6 processor just released some time ago is also lagging behind the Pentium II processor, not to mention the Athlon-II processor released by Huaxin Technology.

Wang Anran smiled and said: "Toshiba is not AMD, it won't be so shameless, of course, if they really do that, we Huaxin Technology has nothing to fear, when we were poor and white, we could work with Intel, not only was not squeezed by Intel, but our market share also expanded again and again......"

"Mr. Wang, don't underestimate the Japanese, they have technology, talent reserves, compared with us, they have more chip manufacturing capabilities that we don't have, I think, we need to keep a hand. ”

Wang Anran shook his head: "It's not necessary at all, Mr. Lei, not only that, but I also want to give Toshiba a big gift, we Huaxin Technology not only licenses technology to Toshiba, we also open to them how we do it, all the R&D personnel of Toshiba CPU Division can join our business department." ”

"Mr. Wang......"

Wang Anran waved his hand.

Three years, three years, that is, a cycle of one and a half generations, Huaxin Technology can fully explore the potential of assembly line deepening.

Deepening the pipeline can significantly increase the frequency of the CPU and improve the performance, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the early performance is obvious, and the later efficiency is low, even if the branch prediction technology reaches a hit rate of more than 95%, there is no solution.

It's a pit.

Wang Anran sighed and said: "Mr. Lei, Huaxin Technology's Athlon II generation is undoubtedly the world's best desktop processor, do you think Americans will watch a Chinese company lead the development of the entire PC industry?"

Rebus shook his head and said: "War is inevitable, but we don't have the strength to confront the Americans, as long as they declare Huaxin Technology to be an untrustworthy company, I don't think there will be any companies in the world to cooperate with us." ”

Wang Anran waved his hand and said, "Not yet, Intel has not failed yet, they have the ability to turn the tables, so they are still gentlemen at this time."

When Huaxin Technology makes them desperate, at that time, the face is useless to them, and they may even send a few gunmen to shoot me and you on the street. ”

"Mr. Wang, you agree with the Japanese to come in, and you also have the meaning of using them as a shield!"

Wang Anran smiled and said: "Toshiba was miserably cheated by the Americans, export restrictions, and there was no money, so we pulled them along."

Now, I really didn't expect that they would dare to invest a lot of money into CPU research and development, you think, if the Americans mess with Athlon, Toshiba will go bankrupt, and then the Japanese will not fight with the Americans. ”

Rebus shook his head, and Wang Anran took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Rebus.

"Let's see, we can't expect Americans at any time, and even if we can't grasp the initiative, we can't let the Americans lead us by the nose. ”

As soon as Rebus opened the folder, he opened a few lines on the title.

"What!"

Rebus stood up suddenly.

"Texas Instruments unilaterally terminated all of our cooperation!"

Wang Anran lit a cigarette and said indifferently: "Yes, I'd rather pay hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidated damages......"
