Chapter 108: Self-developed CPU
No need for a high tube, no need for four stars, Wang Fan wants to make a high-end mobile phone, and he is really helpless.
There is no way, Huaxia is indeed very limited in this regard, but fortunately, there are companies like Huawei that have been working hard to develop research and development.
Despite the difficulties, despite the constant burning of money, Warwick never gave up on the CPU.
From the original K3V2 to the later Kirin 920, and then to the current 935, Huawei is constantly making progress at every step, but it is also constantly restricted.
The level of fabs that produce CPUs is limited, and SMIC can only mass-produce 28nm CPUs.
It's not just a technical issue, it's the blockade and embargo of basic equipment, especially lithography machines.
The most advanced producer of lithography machines is the A**L in the Netherlands, as well as two island countries, but both are blocked and embargoed against China, and only the equipment that is basically outdated will be sold.
At present, SMIC can only get 28nm lithography machines, and the production level is also stuck at this scale.
The flagship CPU has already entered the 14nm/16nm era, and in this regard, SMIC and other wafer factories can only hope to quench their thirst and manufacture high-cylinder and low-level CPU410.
As for building a lithography machine, it is even more difficult.
The most advanced in Huaxia has only reached the 65nm level, which is too bad.
In this situation, even if Huawei designs a higher-spec CPU, it can only rely on foundries such as TSMC.
However, when TSMC first entered 20nm, its production capacity was limited, and for the sake of profit, it could only give priority to meeting large customers such as high cylinders and fruits.
Therefore, Warwick's Kirin 935 can only use the backward 28nm mass production, which also leads to the relatively backward GPU that this SOC continues to use, with limited performance.
However, Warwick's R&D capabilities are very strong, and the next generation of Kirin 950 has made great progress, and it will use TSMC's 16nm process.
Completely catching up with the first-line level, but the time is not until November or December.
Huawei HiSilicon has been sharpening a sword for ten years, and I believe that it will be a sharp sword when the time comes!
It's just that this sharp sword, Wang Fan can't wait, and even if he waits, Huawei may not necessarily take it out.
There is also a reason for this, just look at the current situation of Tentek.
HiSilicon and LianTek are not much in strength, they are both rising stars, catching up with the footsteps of high-barrel and four-star.
However, for the purpose of making profits, LianTek sells all of them, focusing on cost performance, and as a result, it has been wearing a low-end and cheap hat.
Even if this year's flagship CPU6795 has greatly improved its performance and is once again positioned in the high-end market, it is still sold to 899 by rice.
Let's ask, apart from bananas, who will use the CPU of an 899 mobile phone to make a high-end machine?
There is no doubt that LinkTek has once again shattered its high-end dreams, and it was the same last year.
Sometimes, making money is really not the most important thing, brand image is the first thing!
Therefore, Warwick's HiSilicon CPU would rather use it itself and lose money, and resolutely not sell it!
Otherwise, it will be sold for 899 by rice, and Warwick can only cry on the side......
At the moment, Wang Fan has no choice, it is impossible to give up the mobile phone plan, and it is even more impossible to agree to the conditions of the three parties.
Mortal technology has unlimited potential, and once you agree to the other party, you will soon regret not doing it at the beginning. What's more, Wang Fan doesn't like to be restricted by others in everything he does, and he doesn't like to be persecuted.
Then the only option is to develop your own CPU!
However, the topic of research and development of chips is more sensitive for Huaxia, and it is still very glorious at the beginning.
If I think I'm a big country, I don't even have a self-designed chip, so how can I do it?
But some things later made this originally heroic move a lot more stained.
The impact of the Hanxin incident is really big enough, and it is bad enough. This has caused serious resistance among the Chinese people.
So much so that those who really made chips later were suspected of making chips under the title of black country's money.
Therefore, even if Wang Fan wants to make chips, he can only rely on himself.
At this moment, Su Xueyan walked in.
…………
The three of them waited for a while, and the more they felt that something was wrong.
They think that mortal technology wants to make mobile phones, and they really can't play without them! The insistence just now is just for show, and I will come down and ask them to go back in a while.
But now no one in Mortal Technology has come out to save them, and no one has called them back.
The three of them were very entangled, the purpose of this time was to get special instructions from the headquarters, to be sure to invest in mortal technology or get CPU optimization technology.
This is a great opportunity and a great test.
The people who can achieve the position of president of the three giants in Huaxia are not ordinary people, and they have a clear view of the current form.
Once successful, it is possible to go one step further, settle in the headquarters, and become the most core class.
Once you fail, your position will not be secured, your salary will be reduced and you will be demoted, and if it is serious, you will even be covered and left.
At present, Intel is increasingly eyeing the big cake of the mobile CPU market, and has even tested the water several times.
Therefore, the leaders of the headquarters attach great importance to the optimization technology of mortal technology, which overcomes all difficulties and makes this tripartite cooperation unprecedented.
The three of them wandered downstairs, you look at me, I look at you, and they had no idea for a while.
If mortal technology doesn't send people down, we can't go up by ourselves, right?
What kind of identity do we have, the three presidents of the Huaxia District, who stomp their feet on weekdays, can shock a large area.
Let them go up, it's too cheap to do! I can only wait helplessly.
After another ten minutes, no one came down.
The four-star Lin Tao, who has the hottest temper, has become the most honest one.
There was no way, in these ten minutes, the fruit Song Mingxu and Gao Zhu Jingwei almost scolded him to death:
Who made you lose your breath and slam the door and leave, now it's okay, right? Being hung here, what a pig-like teammate.
Lin Tao was very angry, but he couldn't refute it. He has a high status, and the other two are not bad at all.
For others, he can still be arrogant, but for these two, he has no choice. And it's true that I went first......
Soon, the three of them were left to dry for more than half an hour, and they became more and more unable to hold their breath.
Zhu Jingwei pointed at Lin Tao and scolded: "It's you who did the bad thing, now you go back and explain things clearly!" ”
"Shall I go back?" Lin Tao looked at the two of them incredulously and asked.
Fruit Song Mingxu didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence.
The four-star Lin Tao was completely angry, and said sharply: "My dignified president of Huaxia District, you let me lower my head and go back!" You've got water in your head! Such a disgraceful thing, whoever loves to go, who goes. I'm not going anyway! ”
The other entourages watched the three of them arguing, and they all hid aside, tilted their heads, pricked up their ears, and watched the three immortals fight, trying not to laugh.
And the security guards of Zhonghai Building were even more happy, and even whispered: "Who are these people?" It's not a small story, right? ”
"It's big, a fruit, a four-star, a high pill, oh no, high tube, it's all big shots." The other gestured with a thumbs out.
Although the two of them were not loud, the people around them could hear clearly and laughed out loud.
Zhu Jingwei blushed and glared at the entourage, and a few people only retracted slightly.
Zhu Jingwei was already angry, and this time he was angered by the two security guards, but his anger was sprinkled on the four-star Lin Tao, and he directly scolded:
"Now that you are the president of the four-star Huaxia District, to tell you the truth, you know what this operation means! Once you fail, bullshit president, it's a shame that both of us will be affected by your stupidity! ”
Lin Tao was very angry, it was you who followed at that time, and I didn't let you go.
He just wanted to refute, but was interrupted by the fruit Song Mingxu: "Pig-like teammates!" ”
……
Watching a few bigwigs fighting, the entourage was happy, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they could only endure it.
However, the two security guards of Zhonghai Building didn't care about it at all: "I made a lot of money this time, and when I met Brother Hei at lunchtime, we also made him envious." ”
"That is, at the last mortal technology conference, they stopped a few big reporters to review them one by one, and they were very excited, and they showed us off. How can we catch up with us this time, three big shots fight, and it is also live! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Jingwei and the others were even more angry, and they wanted to have a seizure, but when they heard about mortal technology, they still endured it.
At present, the focus is on getting the technology of mortal technology, which is related to their future, and it is better not to make extraneous branches.
