The evaluation of the Strategic Affairs Section shows that Huaxin Technology's CPU technology, if open sourced, has many benefits.

The first is that open source will gain a high reputation in the international community for Huaxin Technology, which can eliminate the adverse effects of this incident to the greatest extent.

Secondly, through open source, the instruction set of the Athlon™ CPU is exposed to the public, and people with a heart can easily distinguish whether the instruction set of Huaxin Technology infringes Intel's patents.

Of course, what Wang Anran attaches most importance to is that open source will bring a large group of allies to Huaxin Technology, not to mention, there are millions of open source association members around the world.

And the hidden benefits are even more, if your American government suppresses it casually, such a conscientious enterprise that contributes to the world's semiconductor industry, then you must consider it first, and the people around the world are willing to eat melons.

At the press conference in Yanjing, Wang Anran talked about his imagination for the future development direction of the CPU instruction set.

"CISC complex instruction sets are not the future of desktop computer processors, and RISC reduced instruction sets are not the future of development. ”

"Mr. Wang, could it be said that Huaxin Technology will create a new instruction set system?"

Wang Anran shook his head and said, "No, we have a philosophical idea in China, that is, the golden mean.

I think CISC complex instruction set and RISC reduced instruction set, both CPU instruction sets go to one extreme.

Huaxin Technology is looking for a new solution, that is, to use the periphery of the CISC complex instruction set and add the RISC reduced instruction set feature inside, which we call the ultra-long instruction set ......"

The CISC instruction set is characterized by its complex design, and statistics show that 20% of the instructions used by CISC account for 20% of the usage rate.

The RISC instruction set is to circle the instructions that are often used in the CISC instruction set and redesign it into a set of instructions of the same length and microoperations.

RISC is characterized by simple chip design and high instruction execution rate, but the disadvantage is also obvious, in the face of complex operations, it usually requires dozens or even dozens of microinstructions to process a process.

This can severely slow down the execution efficiency of the system.

Both have their own points, and colleagues, the disadvantages are equally obvious.

Wang Anran concluded: "You can see that the Athlon CPU that adopts this design idea is superior to the processors of its peers in terms of instruction execution efficiency.

We have proved that this is a path to choose.

Huaxin Technology has taken a solid step in this.

Now, I announce that Huaxin Technology has waived the patent for the processor instruction set architecture, and we call on computer processor enthusiasts, companies, and research institutions around the world to join us.

Strive for the progress of human science and technology!"

Wang Anran raised his arms and exhaled, but in the semiconductor industry, it was like dropping a nuclear bomb, and the earth shook.

In fact, Wang's assertion is not new, and in the nineties, many people proposed to combine the advantages of RISC and CISC.

However, they are only talking about it, and only Huaxin Technology has taken a solid step.

Sean Cobbe, chief engineer of STMicroelectronics, got the instruction set of Huaxin Technology at the first time, and walked out of the laboratory with red eyes after carefully studying it for three days.

"Genius idea, Huaxin Technology's instruction set fully realizes their design intent, and they always maintain a principle in the splitting of complex instructions.

That is, when designing instructions, if an instruction can be broken down by a combination of less than seven instructions, they will not hesitate to cancel the instruction. ”

For this purpose, Sine Cowbe wrote a paper that systematically expounded the idea of Huaxin Technology's instruction set design, annotated each instruction, and introduced several practical operation cases in detail.

At the same time, Sine Cobe strongly recommended that STMicroelectronics join the Athlon™ CPU Instruction Set Architecture Committee.

“...... Chairman Cambullley, you've been looking for opportunities to enter the desktop processor market, and now, I can tell you for sure, the opportunity has come......"

The whole world needs time to digest the news, and to Wang Anran's surprise, the legal department reported to him that IBM had withdrawn the claim against Huaxin Technology.

Wang Anran still understands his old employer, IBM, from 1992 when the microcomputer department suffered losses for the first time, to now, the microcomputer division is called IBM's huge burden, and in the entire IBM, the microcomputer division is originally an unpopular existence.

Moreover, some shareholders have already proposed to ask IBM to sell the business of the microcomputer division.

Therefore, at this time, IBM's microcomputer division has been in a very embarrassing situation.

Huaxin Technology and IBM have a good cooperation, the database software used by Huaxin Technology is provided by IBM, and the CPU used by Huaxin Technology's server workstation and graphics workstation is also the power 604 processor provided by IBM.

IBM has also joined the DDR memory committee initiated by Huaxin Technology, and its latest server is equipped with Huaxin Technology's DDR memory.

Wang Anran knows that IBM's microcomputer business exists in the form of a business division, and the business department has a certain degree of autonomy, and even is financially independent.

This time, I don't know what kind of wind the IBM division is pumping, and without prior communication, Huaxin Technology was sued in court for more than 10 million US dollars in liquidated damages.

I don't talk about friendship anymore, and I don't talk about principles.

However, since the other party withdrew the lawsuit, Wang Anran didn't care so much.

Compared with STMicroelectronics' announcement to join the Athlon™ CPU Architecture Committee, IBM's withdrawal of the lawsuit did not arouse Wang Anran's interest at all.

Huaxin Technology has allies, and the addition of STMicroelectronics has undoubtedly given Intel a strong slap.

Everyone has obtained the patent for the infringement instruction alleged by your Intel, and now it is time to review and review whether your Intel has infringed on someone's patent.

And the biggest headache for Feliro now is not infringement, patents.

Rather, it is facing the open source of Huaxin Technology's Athlon's CPU instruction architecture.

"Intel has never experienced such challenges as it does now. ”

Feliro keenly feels that the Athlon™ CPU instruction architecture is not only Intel's biggest enemy, but also the biggest enemy of the X86 instruction set architecture.

The other party, on the other hand, has a world-class instruction set, and it also has an open source aura.

In Feliro's eyes, Huaxin Technology is not terrible, what is terrible is that because of open source, it will provoke a large number of bloodthirsty sharks, and these sharks are the most deadly.

Europe's largest semiconductor company, STMicroelectronics can definitely be at the level of the Jaws.

But before Feliro could come to his senses, the secretary Elizabeth brought him even more shocking news.

"Mr. Feliro, according to reliable sources, Texas Instruments is in a heated discussion about whether to add the Athlon CPU instruction set architecture......"
