Chapter 247
The cooperation with Texas Instruments was terminated much earlier than expected, the "Immortal Bird" project has not yet been implemented, and the planned OEM of the second generation of the ripper has not been completed.
"It's shameless, they canceled our foundry cooperation, but retained the authorization of Athlon CPU, Mr. Wang, are we arranging the legal department to fight a lawsuit with Texas Instruments. β
Wang Anran waved his hand.
"The purpose, why are we going to fight this lawsuit to stop them from helping us promote the Athlon instruction set architecture?"
Rebus shook his head, then stood up and said, "Is it over with limited capacity?"
"Didn't they lose money, Mr. Lei, let's first consider the foundry plan of our Athlon second-generation processor, the 300nm manufacturing process of Athlon second-generation, is our flagship product. β
"The 300nm manufacturing process, TSMC and Samsung's technology are not mature, and we have limited options. β
Wang Anran understood what Rebus wanted to say, and shook his head.
"Toshiba does have a mature 300nm manufacturing process, but their main business is memory chips, and the production capacity that can be left to us is really limited. β
"Mr. Wang, what should we do next?"
Looking at Rebus's nervous expression, Wang Anran couldn't help but smile.
"As long as we have dollars in our hands, I'm afraid we won't find anyone to do the work for us!"
Wang Anran has lived in the United States for many years, and he is deeply touched by the urine of Europeans and Americans, and in the so-called democratic world, as long as the cake of capital is not touched, the world will always be beautiful.
But......
If the Americans want to smash the jobs of capital beyond a certain level, then they will be stabbing the hornet's nest.
The Dutch bourgeois revolution is an example, when the Netherlands was still a Spanish territory, and the Spanish king had no money to spend, so he went to the Netherlands to raise some taxes, until one day, the Spanish king wanted to take away the money bag of Dutch capital, and the volcano erupted......
"Mr. Lei, don't think too much, we can simply think that it is a unilateral act of Texas Instruments, of course, we still have to abide by the rules of international trade. β
Huaxin Technology's CPU is an open instruction set architecture, and the operating system launched is open source software.
Otherwise, countries with a heart, as long as they endanger national security, can block Huaxin Technology, yes, they are so domineering.
This is also the reason why Huaxin Technology has not entered the field of communication for a long time.
After all, in the field of communications, there is too much room for reverie, Wang Anran has no plans to go to this layer of thunder for the time being, even if there is a follow-up plan, he will change his vest, and will not tie the mobile business with Huaxin Technology.
Just as Rebus shook his head and walked out of Wang Anran's office, a long-awaited thing finally happened.
OEMs have gotten their hands on the ES beta version of the Intel Pentium Triple processor.
............
There is no industry in the world that is like semiconductors, the technology is advanced, and the shelf life may only be a few months.
The Pentium 3 processor, which was originally based on the 250nm manufacturing process and was only released in 1999, was launched nearly two years ahead of schedule.
Of course, chip design upgrading, as long as there is money, can be done quickly, but the development of chip manufacturing process is not something that can be done with money.
The Pentium triple processor uses Intel's latest 320nm manufacturing process, but the frequency is not far behind the Pentium triple with the historical copper ore core.
Flagship Pentium 800, bus frequency 133Mhz, 0.8Ghz, moreover, the Pentium three processor absorbs the processing scheme of the Athlon processor for the second-level cache, compared with the original Pentium three-level and second-level cache plug-in half-speed, the current release of the Pentium three-processor 256kb of the second-level cache is completely running at full speed.
Wang Anran shook his head with the report, this is entirely because of the backwardness of the manufacturing process and the product of compromise.
Although the original Pentium III has a half-speed L2 cache, its capacity is 512KB, which is twice as high as it is now.
Looking at the thermal power consumption design, the Besturn 800 has reached 95W, which is also unprecedented in this era.
Looking at the few pages, Wang Anran also sighed that Intel did a very good job in confidentiality, and he didn't know the news until the ES sample test.
"When will the ES test samples arrive?"
"Already on the plane, tomorrow will arrive at the airport of the capital. β
Detailed test data, it seems that it will only be seen tomorrow.
"I'm going to take the test tomorrow too. β
"Okay, Mr. Wang. β
The CPU manufactured by the 320nm manufacturing process has a maximum frequency of 500Mhz in the conventional design, and Intel can achieve 800Mhz.
It seems that the Athlonβ’ PRO processor has given Intel a lot of references!
Wang Anran paced back and forth a few times, but still couldn't calm down, walked out of the office, and went straight to the elevator.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I heard the sound of a thunderbolt tapping on the keyboard.
"Mr. Wang!"
The arrival of the boss always makes the employees a little nervous.
"You do yours, I'll see!"
The "Immortal Bird" project was designed based on Texas Instruments' 180nm manufacturing process, and now that Texas Instruments has discontinued its foundry program for the 180nm manufacturing process, does this project still need to be retained?
The answer is no, the 180nm manufacturing process is imperative, and breaking through the 1Ghz mark can only fall on Huaxin Technology, even if it costs several times.
But compared to this, Wang Anran is more concerned about the promotion of the Athlon CPU instruction set architecture.
In this world, if something is not good, there must be a market.
Yes, no matter how good the CPU is, if there is no ecology, it will be the same as a calf.
And the current situation is that Huaxin Technology is completely pinched by others, even if it uses money to open the window, it is not long-lasting.
What is the crux of the matter?
The answer is obvious.
Why should people support Huaxin Technology, only interests are eternal friends.
The crux of the problem is whether Huaxin Technology can make a fortune with everyone.
"Xiao Gu, notify the company's department-level managers and immediately go to the conference room for a meeting. β
Gu Zhaohai was stunned, "Mr. Wang......"
"What's wrong?"
"It's ten o'clock now!"
"Ahh
Wang Anran looked at his watch, and then glanced at the "Immortal Bird" project division, so many people are buried in front of the computer, how can they look like they are off work.
"Okay, let's see if we can invite the master of the cafeteria back and make some supper or something......
