Chapter 668: New Processor
Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What agreement?"
Jin Songyong looked around and saw that the others were some distance away from them, so he said, "The market price maintains the agreement." ”
Jiang Xinwei was stunned and said: "They want to maintain the price of lithography machine with us? Isn't this a monopoly?...... Soon, he said with a smile on his face, "Is there such a good thing? This is not the right thing they have always done, they should have lowered the price and suppressed us with all their might." ”
Jin Songyong smiled smugly and said, "Of course they want to do this, but they can't do it." And they also know that not only will they not be able to suppress us now, but we will suppress them in the future. For the sake of their future, they had to come to this agreement with us. ”
Kim Song-young then explained, "Now we can mass-produce lithography machine technology and match them, and the lithography machine technology we are developing surpasses theirs." They know that our Feixun Digital Technology Company is only a subsidiary of Feixun Group, and with the backing of the parent company of Feixun Group, not only is there no shortage of users, but also there is no shortage of scientific research funds, and we have concentrated several top lithography machine scientists in half the world, so what can their Dutch company do to compete with us? Therefore, after hesitation, they had to swallow their anger and beg us not to dump lithography machines at a low price, and also begged us to reach a price-sharing agreement with them, and sold some lithography machines to us at a low price for this reason. ”
Jin Songyong said: "This kind of low-price sales to us is not dumping, it is completely different from dumping, but a kind of overture. Because we urgently need a large number of chips now, and our precision lithography machine can't produce so many for a while. Buying from them will not cause a backlog in our production, but will only encourage us to speed up the production of chips and speed up the production of products of the Feixun Group. ”
Jiang Xinwei nodded: One is active and the other is passive, now the initiative is in Feixun Digital Technology Company, and the other party's valuable sales are just to reduce the cost of Feixun Digital.
"Don't talk about them," he said. What are our own lithography machines doing now?"
Jin Songyong said in a natural tone: "We are producing our own developed processor chips." ”
Jiang Xinwei couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise, and asked: "We have already designed a qualified processor? What kind of architecture is it? X86 or poer processor, or poer?"
Kim Songyong replied, "It's the Poer architecture that IBM has just launched. We've bought a lot of their patents, and they've bought a lot of our patents. We are negotiating an agreement with them on a mutual understanding of patents. If nothing else, this agreement should be reached, and in the future we will not have to pay royalties to them for the production of these processors, and they will not have to pay royalties to us for the production of these processors. ”
Jiang Xinwei sighed and said, "The processor performance of the Poer architecture is very powerful, and it is mainly suitable for servers. ”
IBM introduced the PoerPC604 processor in 1994, and its powerful performance was a global leader at the time.
In the high-end segment, the Poer architecture has the performance of large-scale SMP systems, which can ensure that the memory can access any CPU at a consistent speed. x86, on the other hand, uses a NUMA structure, CPU and memory partitions, which means that accessing your own part of the memory is very fast, while the rest of the memory is much slower.
In terms of hardware, the Poer system is also very successful in reliability and architecture processors in supercomputing, large-scale enterprise servers and other applications.
Leng Lan still knows a little about processors, but what she knows the most is the X86 architecture processor that Microsoft uses the most, so she asked Jin Songyong with a smile: "Academician Jin, can you please tell us about the benefits of this processor we developed?"
Jin Songyong did not refuse, and said with a smile: "To put it simply, POER's computer architecture is very suitable for use as a server, and the cost is slightly higher, but it is also far superior to the x86 architecture in terms of reliability. The x86 architecture processor is suitable for home computers and the cost is much lower. It is precisely because of the stable performance of the processor of the POER architecture that most of the key equipment in China, such as military equipment and spaceborne computers installed on satellites, adopt the processor of this architecture, which can cope with the use in harsh environments. ”
Jin Songyong saw Leng Lan nodding and said: "The POER processor developed by our Feixun Digital Technology Company is mainly for the server market, and Zhonghua Software Company is our largest customer at present and in the future, and they are preparing to enter the server field. With the great development of the Internet around the world, high-performance server processors will definitely be very marketable. The second is the processor market for mainframes, giant computers, and even supercomputing, and our goal is to break the monopoly of the world's supercomputer companies on supercomputing computer processors. In addition, our processors will be used for the control of industrial control systems and large-scale integrated equipment systems, as well as the control systems of military equipment. ”
Jin Songyong said confidently: "The prospect of the POER processor architecture computer is very broad, don't look at its reputation now, it seems that it is not as famous as x86, but it will go deep into every corner of the information field in the future, especially in the two fields of embedded and server, the advantages of POER processor are very obvious." Industrial control, military electronics, and space applications are its home turf. On top of that, its scalability and high reliability, as well as its high performance, are almost tailor-made for high-end servers. ”
The reason why he spoke so long was obviously not for Leng Lan, but for Jiang Xinwei. The purpose is naturally to hope that Jiang Xinwei will support their current research and development and future path.
Although Feixun Digital Technology Co., Ltd. has an independent R&D system and can choose its own R&D direction, it is only a subsidiary of Feixun Group after all, and its business direction and business strategy are still under the guidance, supervision and constraints of the parent company. If Jiang Xinwei can be persuaded not to intervene, this will undoubtedly make Jin Songyong and them work more freely.
But if Jiang Xinwei opposes, they will encounter a lot of difficulties, and even lack of scientific research funds, and they will not dare to invest too much manpower and material resources.
Jiang Xinwei naturally would not object, and he wished that Jin Songyong and they would have their own opinions. Even if Jin Songyong and they go the wrong way in the future, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that he will re-establish a scientific research team by himself, go into battle shirtless, and personally lead them to climb the processor technology with high profits and good prospects in his previous life.
But he did not rush to say his opinion, just listened carefully from the side.
In Jiang Xinwei's view, there is too little research on processors in China now, Jin Songyong They can obtain so much technology, to be able to produce a processor has exceeded his expectations, in his original plan, they can develop a lithography machine, can produce some memory particles is almost the same, the processor is a tall technology to track the technology first, a certain amount of technical reserves.
Leng Lan was a smart woman, she not only knew Jin Songyong's intentions, but also knew that Jiang Xinwei didn't want to show her attitude too early now, so she asked with a smile: "Academician Jin, do we have anything good in terms of processors?"
Regarding Jiang Xinwei's non-statement, although Jin Songyong is full of confidence, he is a little nervous now. After listening to Leng Lan's inquiry, he said with a smile: "Yes! We have developed two network servers together with China Soft, and we are now trying them out. In addition, we have developed an engine monitoring system for Flyun Power Technology. ”
Leng Lan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Feixun Power Technology Company, when did there be such a company?"
Jiang Xinxu said: "It is the former Feixun Engine Technology Company, the engine factory we acquired. ”
Leng Lan smiled: "Is that Zhang Huan's factory? Hey, how do you call it a power company?...... But their engines haven't been mass-produced yet, so why do they need a monitoring system?"
Kim Song-young replied: "What is accurate is that this is a car monitoring system, which can work in harsh environments such as the field, and monitor multiple sensors of the car in real time. For example, the engine condition, such as the respective oil pressure, such as the oil level, battery voltage and current, and some data such as mileage, tire pressure, transmission speed and bearing temperature. It can evaluate the performance of the car in real time, find the faults of the car in advance, and report the fault status to the driver and the manufacturer through the SMS system of the mobile phone......"
Leng Lan smiled and said, "In the end, it is a subsidiary of Feixun Group, and it is advertising Feixun Group's mobile phone. …… However, I also think that the SMS function of the mobile phone is awesome, and if you have some difficult words, you can just use the mobile phone to text to avoid embarrassment. ”
Jiang Xinwei smiled: "You Leng Lan still have this kind of embarrassment, are you afraid of scolding people in person?"
Leng Lan's eyes widened and she asked, "Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?" Do you mean that I, Leng Lan, am a stupid girl?"
Jiang Xinwei smiled: "Where, I just think you are cheerful and there are no ghosts in your heart." In order to avoid this topic, he hurriedly asked Jin Songyong, "Academician Jin, have we tried this processor in embedded systems?"
Jin Songyong nodded and said, "I tried." …… Now we have many scientific researchers, and we hope to expand the application fields of some processors, so we have set up a special processor application research institute to develop processors in new fields. ”
Speaking of this, he motioned to Jiang Xinxu and Leng Lan to wait, and then beckoned to a person in the distance, and made a few gestures with both hands, the person in the distance was obviously excited and excited, turned around and ran away.
Jin Songyong turned to Jiang Xinwei and said: "We have developed two network servers, which can install common database software on the market, which is very suitable for the use of network transmission. When it comes to working with small data. It has a very big advantage. ”
