Just when Fan Wuxian was hesitant and didn't know where to go to pass the time. There is good news from Hangzhou, Fan Wuxian and Taiwanese Wang Rongchang built a memory chip production line in Hangzhou. Finally, the first batch of products is about to roll off the production line.

And almost at the same time came another piece of good news. It is the State Council that approved the plan of Fan's Investment Group and INTEL to build a CPU chip packaging factory in Hangzhou, and treated it as the largest investment attraction project in Hangzhou this year. Require local governments to provide policies and related support.

The Hangzhou Municipal Government was naturally very happy, thinking that such a large project would definitely settle in Shanghai. But he didn't expect that pie in the sky would fall from the sky, and the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars would actually fall on his head. I was really overjoyed, so for Fan's Investment Group and INTEL to build a factory. Naturally, every way is welcome. A leading group has also been set up to cooperate with the construction of the factory here.

Fan's Investment Group has built two major projects in Hangzhou in succession. It has become the largest electronics industry project in Hangzhou, so the importance of Fan's Investment Group is immediately highlighted. The city government, on its part, urgently needs to meet with Fan Wuxian in order to cooperate with each other and develop better.

In this way, Fan Wuxian didn't have to think about other issues, and brought more than a dozen attachés from the headquarters. and a large group of bodyguards. A dozen cars were driven to form a convoy. Rushed directly to Hangzhou.

Wang Rongchang's nephew Wang Shihan. Several leaders of Hangzhou have been waiting in the factory for a long time. As soon as Fan's convoy arrived, they immediately greeted them. After everyone greeted each other for a while. I went to the factory to visit.

The geographical environment of Hangzhou is relatively good, and the climate is above. There is not much difference with Taiwan. But both have a point. It is that coastal cities are always susceptible to typhoons, so when building factories. This is fully taken into account. There are a lot of precautions around the site.

As the direct person in charge of the factory here, Wang Shihan is very familiar with the surrounding environment of the factory. After taking everyone to visit various places in the battery car in the factory. Changed into dust clothing. Entered the production workshop of the factory. Go to see the concrete workers in action.

I saw that the production lines in the glass partition were distributed in an orderly manner one after another. Countless workers in dustproof clothing are busy on the assembly line, and countless manipulators automatically grab groups of chips and then solder and package. Integrated on the substrate.

"Even though I had a computer at home, I never knew a small memory chip. It takes such a complicated process to be able to produce it. A deputy mayor said with emotion.

The cache size of memory, graphics card memory, hard disk or optical drive will directly affect the performance of the device, when personal computers are just beginning to become popular, the memory used is a block of IC, in order for it to serve the computer, it must be soldered to the motherboard, but this also brings problems to the later maintenance. Because once a certain memory IC is broken. It must be welded down before it can be replaced. Since it is not easy to remove the IC from soldering, and the user does not have soldering knowledge. Welding requires mastery of welding technology, and it is also risky. It's too cumbersome to repair.

Therefore. The designers introduced modular strip memory with multiple memory ICs integrated into each one. At the same time, the corresponding memory slots are also designed on the motherboard. In this way, the memory module is easy to install and remove at will. Repairs and upgrades of memory have become very simple.

But. Fan Wuxian thinks. In front of them, these leaders have used computers once or twice. But when it comes to opening the case lid. Find out where the memory is. Where is the graphics card, where is the hard disk. It's a bit of a struggle.

For the development of memory. Fan Wuxian is a first-hand witness, from the 286 era of 30-pin SDMM memory, 486 times of 72-pin SDMM memory. EDOoraM memory to the penrium era, SDRAM memory to the PII era. To the P4 generation of DDR memory and later DDR2 memory, he has a deep impression.

In the decades since the development of computer technology, memory has been constantly updated in terms of specifications, technology, bus bandwidth, etc., but everything has changed. The purpose of memory development is to increase the bandwidth of memory to meet the increasing bandwidth requirements of CPUs and avoid becoming a bottleneck for high-speed CPU computing.

Wang Shihan introduced to everyone. "Our current production line. It can meet the production capacity of a variety of different types of memory, and the research team of the factory has exceeded 200 people. Rely on existing memory R&D and production technology. and the Mainland's superior human resources. It will certainly be able to occupy a very important proportion of the world's memory market. ”

Fan Wuxian said after looking at it. "The architecture is almost obsolete."

When Wang Shihan heard Fan Wuxian say this, he was immediately impressed, where do ordinary people understand this matter? It seems that being the boss is different. So he said to Fan Wuxi. "It's currently on top of the memory technology architecture. There are two major trends. ONE IS INTEL'S DOMINANT TERRITORY. The other is dominated by companies such as AMD, which one should we focus on? ”

FAN WUXIAN THOUGHT FOR A WHILE, IT SEEMS THAT THE AMD-LED CHIP ARCHITECTURE FINALLY DEFEATED THE INTEL-LED CHIP ARCHITECTURE IN THE MARKET. became the mainstream of the market later, so he said to Wang Shihan, "Keep an eye on the development of AMD's memory chip technology, keep consistent with it, and build on its architecture." We need to go further and faster. ”

The leaders next to him couldn't understand what Fan Wuxian was talking to Wang Shihan about. Wait until the two of them have decided on the future research direction. A leader said with emotion, "I just saw high technology today." I didn't expect a small memory module to have such advanced technology in it. ”

Fan Wuxian smiled, "In terms of memory technology. We have mastered the core technology. But that's not enough. After all, we all depend on other people's technological periphery, and we talk about high-tech things. It's a bit of a no-brainer. ”

"If you want to make a CPU. It's not that easy. Wang Shihan heard the meaning of Fan Wuxi's words, so he interjected.

The design of a CPU is completely different from the difficulty of designing a memory chip. The design of memory chips is not difficult, mainly to improve the production process, and in terms of CPU, it is not difficult to put chips. The key is to look at the design ability. It is necessary to have a global grasp of the entire computer in the mainland, including the operating system, compilation, architecture, I/O, etc., in order to design a high-performance processor.

It's like a company. Fixed assets and funds provide only the necessary conditions, and the key lies in management, in general-purpose computers. The coordination of the operating system and the system architecture design is particularly important. Some of the instructions are specifically designed for the operating system. Especially in terms of system security, storage management, exception handling, etc.

Review the history of China's computer development. Until the early eighties. The domestic processor design technology is not much worse than others, and it has fallen to this point today, to a large extent, because of the loss of incompatibility. Because the vast majority of the cost of computers today is not spent on hardware, but on software.

Design your own command system. I can only try to be happy for a while. It is compatible with other mainstream command systems. It's really troublesome, sometimes you have to modify the data path for a single instruction, add a lot of things, but if it is not compatible with other systems, the product produced will not have a market. An important reason for the overall backwardness of domestic processor design after the 80s is that there is no own manufacturing process, which leads to the collapse of the processor design team as a whole. Attrition.

But Fan Wuxian himself understood. There are still talents in China who can design general-purpose processors. I have successfully cooperated with INTEL this time and is about to build a new chip packaging factory. It's not a good thing. With the deepening of cooperation, some problems can also be mentioned, and the CPU production process problem should be solved. Then only those who have design skills can put some hard work on general-purpose processors. There is still a lot to be done.

After all, after the design of the underlying technology is completed, what needs to be done is only supplementation, improvement and correction, and the other is to rely on the improvement of the production process. This is the so-called increased level of integration.

It's just that at this time, we are just talking about cooperation with INT. The factory is also in the process of selecting a site. IMMEDIATELY PROPOSED THAT I WANT TO TALK ALONE, AND IT'S STRANGE IF YOU DON'T GET ANGRY WITH THE INTEL LOCALS!

Therefore, Fan Wuxian could only hide this thought quietly in his heart. I thought that after a year or two, the production technology would be mature. AND THEN GET SOME PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY FROM INTEL. Prepare the material basis and talk about it.

But before that. It is necessary to find domestic general-purpose processor design experts first. Organize a secret design team so that the technology matures in the future. Launching your own commercial general-purpose processor, in that case, the scope of application is very large.

After all, general-purpose processors aren't just for computers. For example, some smart devices can be applied, this market is not smaller than the computer market, and in the future, things like smart home appliances need this thing as a foundation, and the money is far away.

That's it. Fan Wuxian looked a little absent-minded. Until everyone went to the hotel to eat after visiting the factory. The local leaders in the city all found that Fan Wuxian was a little distracted.

"Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan——" Wang Shihan gently reminded Fan Wuxian in his ear. There are no pop-ups
