However, Shenwei's competitors are clearly not sitting still waiting to lose their jobs.

It's not just the SPARC Open Alliance folks of Shenwei.

On the other hand, the development of Gaosen Semiconductor with MIPS architecture is also good.

Wu Zuhua's video processing chip was the first to be killed, and the DM-100 and DM-200 digital cores that have been tape-out tested were born, and the performance killed the current main video processing chip models of TI.

From cameras to set-top boxes and digital TVs, at the International Radio and Television Information Network Exhibition in March 2010, Wu Zuhua's Gaosen Semiconductor exhibited a variety of video decoding prototypes developed with independent chips, and the on-site demonstration effect amazed the industry.

Drawing on the advantages of MTK's package, Gaosen Semiconductor also provides an all-in-one video development solution, a compact PCB module, and a high-volume supply price that is less than one-third of that of competitors, which makes more and more people in the industry ask for details.

Gaosen Semiconductor, which became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, instantly became an "Internet celebrity" in the video decoding market!

Looking at the extremely hot consulting team, Wu Zuhua, who personally went to the exhibition site to understand the first-hand situation, was a little emotional.

"Lao Cai, in terms of product vision, we are a person who can't compare to Liu Ruoyi alone, when people asked us to do this, how many people in our hearts were willing?

Wu Zuhua said to his deputy, Cai Zhenwu, now general manager of Gaosen Semiconductor.

"Who says it's not, let's still do research and development to think a little solidified and rigid, don't look up to see the real needs of the market, once the thinking of the planned economy forms a routine, I don't consciously wait to rely on, how good is this situation now, Mr. Wu, I think I will give me three years at most, and we can all manage the two decoding chips that we eat, drink, and rely on!"

Cai Zhenwu said in high spirits.

"Don't be careless, there are a lot of competitors in this market, we are the first to survive, but there must be better development space behind, the relevant tuning chip, demodulation chip, decoding chip, display chip four chip in one module must be taken out as soon as possible, must quickly form a single chip solution capability, on the one hand, it is convenient for customers to create new products, on the other hand, it also reduces the comprehensive cost of customers in this area, to create a perfect cost-effective solution. ”

"If we can really make the MTK solution model of the video processing industry, then we can breathe a sigh of relief, which involves many formats, high technical thresholds, patents and other restrictions, we need to cooperate with the intellectual property department to deal with these things, Chairman Liu gave us the goal is not the first in China, but the first in the world!"

Wu Zuhua saw that his deputy was a little floating, and couldn't help but pour some cold water.

DM-100 and DM-200 have just been taped out, and the next generation of DM-150 and DM-210 has begun to be developed, and the single-chip solution is the top priority of our research and development, and samples will be taken out at the end of this year at the latest. ”

Cai Zhenwu is now out of the project team to fully operate Gaosen Semiconductor, and of course he has a deep understanding of the DM digital chip market.

"The GS64-1500 is also about to be taped out, if we are lucky, we will have a strong new product, don't look at the SPARC server market is so lively, when our GS64 comes out, the RISC server market may not be their own." Wu Zuhua looked at the crowd coming and going, and his eyes were a little fluttering.

Under Gaosen Semiconductor, Digital Chip is just planned to be their side business!

GS64 is their hard work and ultimate goal, of course, it is still too far away, and the MIPS ecosystem is too far behind the SPARC ecosystem.

Throw away the original way and start again, due to the same origin and the same species, Wu Zuhua's team is running fast on the new road of MIPS64, the main frequency of 1500MHz and 4 cores This start is not too radical, all aspects are very mature, if Liu Ruoyi can coordinate the 32nm production line test stream in terms of process technology, Wu Zuhua is confident to impact 2GHz!

Now that Wu Zuhua has received the news that his competitors have switched to the SPARC architecture, the GS64 will be born behind if it does not run faster.

Wu Zuhua's next R&D plan has decided to skip the 8 cores and go directly to the 12 cores! Although it seems to be 4 cores less than the competition, it will suffer a little in terms of performance.

But GS64 has a natural advantage of low power consumption!

It does not have an advantage in low-to-mid-range servers, but in terms of superminicomputers with more than 64 channels and future supercomputers, the GS64 definitely has a great advantage.

The more processors of supercomputers are piled up, the more demanding the power consumption and heat dissipation are, and each processor has an extra 10W power consumption, and tens of thousands of them are cumulatively added, which is a great burden.

The GS64-1500 design thermal power consumption is only 30W, and the future 8-core design will not exceed 40W, and the 12-core design thermal power consumption will not exceed 45W.

This advantage is Wu Zuhua's confidence to fight against SPARC-compatible machines on high-end products, which has unexpectedly become a competitor.

Lower power consumption and smaller heat dissipation requirements mean that GS64 can do more protective measures, and can be used in some extreme environments in the future, such as aerospace and navigation, and now the performance of GS64 single chip is very strong, at least the computing power support of most military equipment fire control systems is no problem, because the same RISC architecture, 2-way, 4-way and 8-way, 16-way symmetrical SMP design is the same.

An 8-channel GS64-1500 can be stacked with a high-performance server for trillions of floating-point operations, and with the current GS64-1500 thermal power consumption, such a server can be as small as a microwave oven with a power of no more than 350W!

This thing can be crammed into any main battle equipment to provide surging computing power and improve the immediacy, effectiveness and accuracy of attacks!

This advantage is something that SPARC can't optimize! In terms of military use, SPARC chips still have many difficulties, and the MIPS architecture should be the main force in this strategic application direction, SPARC is more suitable to become a processing core server in the background, and the front-end device-level core or MIPS chip is more suitable.

So Wu Zuhua has a strong confidence to go his own way.

GS64 with the support of the general version of Linux should have a wider range of market application opportunities in terms of general background applications, compared to SPARC with the support of the previous ecological chain, which is both a benefit and a burden in the future.

It's up to Li Shijie and Zhao Mengguo to break out of their comfort zone and make great efforts to build a Linux ecosystem suitable for SPARC, breaking away from Solaris and forming a two-wheel drive mode.

Wu Zuhua will definitely do this after gaining a foothold, and the future general server and cloud server market must be based on the Linux ecosystem as a major market competition point.

After all, the current server-side Linux server open-source application resources are too rich. The more distinctive the Internet era, the more vibrant the Linux ecosystem will become.

Soon after the debut of Wu Zuhua's digital core, Li Shijie's 64-channel SPARC T2 server was finally born, and soon passed the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements of authoritative institutions, becoming the only choice for high-performance ultra-small computers for some Solaris customers in the mainland, and directly entered the special application industry.

After further passing the SPARC Open Alliance Lab compatibility test, the Sunway-64K became the only choice for Solaris' commercial high-end customers to upgrade their mission-critical primary servers.

Before commercial mass production, more than 50 sets of trial production models of Shenwei-64K have been shipped, compared with similar super servers in foreign countries that are up to millions of dollars, the price of Shenwei-64K is approachable, only a fraction of the competitors, and the shipment price for the data center of the X Institute does not exceed 5 million yuan, and more importantly, they were unable to purchase such a high-performance super server before.

Of course, the low price of Shenwei-64K is already a conscience price close to the cost price, after all, the price of the chip alone will cost hundreds of thousands, and high-end memory and memory are also very expensive devices.

Although the price of this single set sounds very expensive, real users feel that it is very worthwhile, such as Song Jianjun's team, after getting the Shenwei-64K, they are a little uncomfortable in the face of the sudden increase in the development speed.

After getting the 32-way server of Shenwei before, their project has been accelerated several times, and the accumulated computing tasks are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when the two sets of Shenwei-64K are in place and put into operation, they will quickly complete the computing tasks of one year!

The conclusions of many calculations quickly feed back on actual product improvements. With these reliable design simulation results, the direction of improvement is more targeted.

......

MIPS's first-generation mobile processor Aries MM-700 can run, but it is not good enough, so in the second model iteration started by the MIPS Asia-Pacific Center, the Aries MM-710 was taken out in 6 months, compared with the previous generation of products, the performance is basically the same, but the power consumption and heat generation have made great progress.

The Aries MM-710 sample, produced on a 45nm process, has surpassed arm's A8 in terms of power consumption and heat control. Liu Ruoyi is very excited about this result, and has asked people to hand over samples to HTC and his own high-dimensional mobile communications to carry out the development and testing of actual prototype applications.

Although there may still be some time before commercial use, Liu Ruoyi has already seen the light. Prove that it is possible to go down the road with MIPS mobile processors.

In this regard, in addition to continuing to promote the enhancement of the MIPS Asia-Pacific R&D Center behind the scenes, Liu Ruoyi, another software company under its umbrella, has also begun to support the software research and development of the MIPS platform social products.

The high-dimensional mobile Internet, which has entered the field of instant messaging and social networking of the mobile Internet, has now begun the research and development of mobile phone applications.

This market is one of the niche markets for the future of mobile Internet, and Liu Ruoyi's WhatsApp needs this thing to monetize its profits.

On the other hand, Shang's mobile mall has been launched and integrated with WhatsApp. The future of WhatsApp is clearly poised to integrate people's socializing, entertainment, and shopping.

To this end, the overseas version of WhatsApp integrates a built-in mobile payment platform, ONEPay, which allows users to share their phone bills directly with their phone bills through PCCW's recharge cards or outlets without opening online banking.

In addition, Yongxing Bank has also opened up the online payment channel with ONEPay, and WhatsApp's online payment has developed rapidly, basically after the WhatsApp update version is integrated, you can see that a large number of users are opening this function every month.

With PCCW now having a user base of more than 20 million, the number of WhatsApp users has also become even larger.

In the mainland, where the back-end server is separated, the mobile application renamed E-Chat is also developing rapidly, supporting MTK, Symbian and Windowsmobile, iOS, and Android.

Yichat quickly approached the Penguin mobile version users at an exponential rate.

Penguin Ma always saw this result, almost regretted his intestines, if he had known this result, he would rather be cheeky and ask Liu Ruoyi to get this thing, at least the exclusive operation version in the mainland.

Now that high-dimensional mobile Internet has sprung up, if it is to be merged, the cost is large, and it is no longer up to Penguin Ma to decide by himself.

Fortunately, Penguin is now also deeply involved in the field of game monetization, with Liu Ruoyi's leadership and the demonstration of online gathering, Penguin uses its huge users, whether it is a casual game or a large-scale online game, it has done a good job.

The same network gathering has gradually formed a situation of two heroes juxtaposed.

The development of mobile smartphones is extremely ferocious, and the layout of Penguin's mobile games is also timely.

Compared with Liu Ruoyi's last time and space, the penguins with money in their hands reacted more quickly at this time, and when "Angry Birds" came out, Mr. Ma the penguin decisively launched the acquisition of RIO.

In this regard, the penguin's horse has begun to be seriously affected by Liu Ruoyi - if you are not strong enough, then buy it!

Compared with the previous time and space, which was good at copying the original work to death, this time and space, Penguin Ma is always better at using money to shorten the time to market.

This is even more uncomfortable for Penguin's competitors, as it prevents weaker competitors from competing on the same level as Penguins on popular games.

The strategy of buying if you can't do it is actually simple and crudely effective.

...

The first generation of "orange" mobile phone of high-dimensional mobile communication is registered with a very cartoon O-shaped cute pet icon, and Liu Ruoyi seriously doubts the designer's girlish personality tendency.

But fortunately, through the adjustment of the color, the bright "orange" can be made very cute, and at the same time, it can also be made serious by iron gray or copper.

But these are not important, the important thing is that Liu Hongwei's team has built this mobile phone into a fruit machine-like operation interface!

If it weren't for the fact that the version of the machine was very different from that of the fruit machine, there was a serious suspicion that this machine would be relabeled and become a fruit machine.

Fortunately, Liu Hongwei still has reservations about the icon, although the details imitate the fruit, but in the specific differentiation to show innocence.

Well, at least for now, no one at Apple has raised any objections to infringement.

This "orange"-P10 has obtained the birth permit and the mainland network access certificate, according to the difference in storage space, high-dimensional mobile communication only two P10 and stronger storage P10s.

Thanks to the large-scale price reduction of mobile phone components, the cost of orange P10 has been below 600 yuan, and the cost of orange P10s is controlled within 800 yuan.

In terms of price, P10 will focus on 999 yuan, and P10s will focus on 1199 yuan. These two price ranges are among the most accepted by users outside of copycats.

"Orange" can surpass a large number of copycat machines between 500-700 yuan, the biggest factor is the appearance of the phone, at the same time, the operation of the mobile phone is smooth, and the interface is highly close to the fruit machine, which also brings out a high-end atmosphere.

With up to five optional colours, the case gives this phone a youthful vibe.

In addition to not being able to access the 3G network, Liu Ruoyi really can't find more shortcomings.

Naturally, this mobile phone is pre-installed with a series of software, and Liu Ruoyi is more confident in the promotion of his mobile phone.

And the Android version of the smart phone,Liu Hongwei's team basically got the customization of the Android system,At present, it runs more smoothly on HTC G1,If you release this version,I believe many people will choose to flash the machine。

It's a pity that Liu Ruoyi is not ready to use UI to conquer the world. Instead, this phone has its own obvious characteristics, the style is interchangeable, and there are at least 5 different styles of interfaces built in to support user selection.

The icon takes the high-definition route,It looks very textured,It's a lot better than Android's own built-in,At least the future will not be criticized in the interface。

Liu Hongwei's team has also made a lot of efforts in system tailoring, deleting a lot of unwanted modules, and because it is not ready to be compatible with other people's mobile phone hardware, the performance of the customized version has been enhanced a lot.

Now, it's time for Aries' hardware to take shape.
