The processor based on the 180nm manufacturing process, codenamed "Immortal Bird", has been established for nearly a year since the signing of a cooperation agreement with Texas Instruments.

Even Wang Anran doesn't remember the time of the last plan demonstration meeting, it's been too long!

There is also a solution for the next-generation Athlon-3 processor based on the 300nm manufacturing process and the desktop version of the Athlon-4 processor based on the 180nm manufacturing process.

You must know that the microarchitecture of the CPU is basically one generation of fine-tuning, three generations of one major tune, at most four or five generations, which must not be able to meet the development of the manufacturing process brought about by the explosion of transistors.

You know, the current Athlon processor has experienced the Athlon generation 1 micron, Athlon Pro 800 nanometers, Athlon second generation 500 nanometers, 300 nanometers manufacturing process integrated transistors at least 25 million, three times that of the Athlon generation, to the 180 nanometer manufacturing process, the integrated transistors will exceed 30 million, the original microarchitecture must be overwhelmed. ，

"Director Qiu, I haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Mr. Wang, I'm about to report to you. ”

Wang Anran looked up and saw that he had already made up his mind to take down Qiu Lianjun, was this what the report looked like? Without a page of materials in his hand, could it be that his brain was a computer, and he could remember everything?

Of course, before the official verdict, Wang Anran also wanted to give him another chance.

"Well, I was just about to talk to you about it, by the way, how is the 'Immortal Bird' project progressing now?"

Qiu Lianjun's head was dripping with beads of sweat.

"Mr. Wang, the requirements of the 'Immortal Bird' project are based on the 180nm manufacturing process of Texas Instruments, with a frequency of more than 1GHZ, a transistor integration of 33 million, and a pipeline design layer of more than 24 ......."

It's a big fool.,The pre-election of the plan reported a few months ago has been taken out to talk about things.,Is it that in the past few months, everyone has been sitting and drinking tea?

"When will the scheme be approved, when will the preliminary design be completed, when will the circuit simulation be completed, when will the result design be produced, and when will the final test and tape-out production be completed?"

Wang Anran had a series of question marks, Qiu Lianjun was stunned, he had already felt Wang Anran's dissatisfaction, and subconsciously poured a sip of water before saying: "Mr. Wang, we underestimated the design difficulty of the 180nm manufacturing process, in fact, for the integration of 33 million transistors, we have not done it before, and we have encountered many difficulties in the preliminary design simulation, and even the existing EDA-aided design tools cannot accurately reflect our design intentions...... And in the face of new microarchitectural ......"

Wang Anran shook his head, there must be difficulties, but no matter how difficult it is, after all, there is a mature foundation for the Athlon, a mature CPU instruction set architecture and talent reserves, which necessitates the situation of being poor and white when the Athlons processor was first designed, which is much better.

Besides, at that time, the entire CPU design team, Wang Anran was an expert, and now, Athlon, Athlon, Athlon, and the second generation of Athlon's CPU side were successfully launched, which has accumulated a large number of CPU chip design talents for Huaxin Technology.

"There are difficulties to tackle, the project target deadline set is not a joke, okay, I also understand the situation, you go back first!"

"Mr. Wang......"

Wang Anran waved his hand.

Qiu Lianjun walked out of the office, Wang Anran sighed, when will Huaxin Technology also produce a technical master like Jim Keller.

It seems that the CPU design has to pick up the list himself.

I was thinking of going to the "Immortal Bird" project division to take a look, and then to see the progress of the Ripper graphics card division, but it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and I promised to have dinner with Fu Tong tonight, and I didn't have the habit of letting others wait for me......

……

Just when Wang Anran drank Fu Tong and Jiang Xiangjun and their entourage to talk freely, the headquarters of Toshiba, an island country with a strip of water, was still brightly lit.

"It is certain that the U disk produced by Huaxin Technology will cause a serious blow to the floppy disk drives and corresponding consumables all over the world, and because of the capacity and price, it will have little impact on the optical disk drive for the time being!"

"What about the future, Aoki Jun, Moore's law has always existed, the capacity of the U disk will be larger and larger, and the price of the U disk will be lower and lower, fifteen years of patent period, if Huaxin Technology excludes us, we will lose the entire mobile storage market, including optical drives, this is a market of hundreds of billions of dollars!"

Higashiko took a long breath and looked at the little thing in his hand, the difficulty of technology research and development is almost impossible for Toshiba, but why haven't we developed it.

"The Ministry of Justice has investigated, and the patent of the USB flash drive has been registered all over the world, and it is strange that the registration time of this patent began to be applied for in May 1996. ”

Aoki said: "This practice is not unusual, we have also done it, electronic products, time is life, how many companies in the world are researching the same technology, one step behind, it means that all your efforts are collected and zero." ”

Dong Yanjun waved his hand and said: "The important thing now is to obtain the exclusive authorization of Huaxin Technology as soon as possible, this is also an opportunity, in addition, it is time to reduce the scale of the floppy drive division!"

Morita watched a group of bigwigs talking, and then interjected, in fact, he has not yet entered the decision-making level of Toshiba at this level, and he can come to this place today because he has been in charge of direct contact with the representatives of Huaxin Technology.

"With a good cooperative relationship with Huaxin Technology, I think they will agree to our technology transfer or licensing requirements, but it is certain that they will definitely make some special demands......

"So, we need to know their bottom line and what kind of price we have to pay, Morita, after exchanging opinions, I need to talk to the president of their delegation!"

"Hi, President Higashihiko, I know how to do it, but ......"

"But what?"

Morita lowered his head and continued: "President Higashihiko, as far as I know about them, Huaxin Technology has a strong demand for technology, and I think they will still propose more technical assistance for USB flash drives.

Huaxin Technology has a complete set of CPUs, graphics cards, operating systems, and USB flash drives, and as far as I know, they have also made breakthroughs in the research of chip structure, and proposed a new FinFET fin transistor structure, such a company is terrible, will we do it now to establish a strong competitor for Toshiba. ”

"Haha...... Ha ......"

The audience burst into laughter, and Morita looked at the big guys with a confused expression, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
