250 Three-inch tongue

However, Wang Shizi didn't seem to see the tangled eyes of Huawei's executives, and without waiting for Ren Zhiyuan, who was in a deep voice, he picked up the words just now again and continued: "Mr. Ren, I know that Huawei has been building its own industrial chain, from each chip to circuit design to industrial shape design, etc., your idea is to master every key technology as much as possible, even at the expense of the interests of terminal equipment. For example, when Huawei's mobile phone sales were not good before, HiSilicon was still established to design its own processors, and even if the early product failed, it never gave up. ”

"To be honest, I admire your foresight for this, after all, it's very unsafe to have technology in other people's hands. In case one day companies like Qualcomm and Texas are unhappy and don't sell their chips to us Huaxia, other smartphone manufacturers are dead, and Huawei can live well! ”

"But then again, it's too costly. RAM company's license is not so easy to get, although for the time being, Datang Shizi Technology has not dealt with them, but it is said that the use of their ARM is not cheap, right? The instruction set architecture authorization is easy to say, it is a one-time payment, but the core architecture authorization is levied according to the shipment, so even if Huawei is equipped with its own Kirin 920, selling a mobile phone will help others make money, Mr. Ren will not feel very aggrieved? Oh, and also, the GPU was bought, right? I remember that it was a VIVANTE product, once others were unhappy and did not authorize Huawei, what should I do with the product? ”

"So simply hand over the talents to support the Datang Shizi chip, in the future, we will not only make our own chips, but we will not only start from the SOC (system chip), but from the IPCORE (module in the embedded programmable gate array). When our own core architecture comes out, and our own instruction set comes out, do we still need to look at other people's eyes? At that time, Datang Shizi chip guarantees to authorize Huawei to use our own RAM at the lowest price. And when we get to that point, we will give back to HiSilicon, who helped us before, and provide you with more advanced and feasible design solutions. By the way, to tell you the truth, Professor Tang Yanqiu, a well-known semiconductor technology expert in China, has made it clear that he will bring his team to join our Datang Shizi chip. ”

In the end, Wang Shizi directly threw out the killer idea. The bomb of Tang Yanqiu's joining was also thrown out in advance. You must know that with Tang Yanqiu's reputation in the industry, he can definitely attract many technical backbones in the industry. After all, as long as you do technology, who doesn't want to be able to produce results? And with a reliable expert, the possibility of producing results is naturally the greatest. What's more, as far as Wang Shizi knows, Hai Sike also threw an olive branch like this Professor Tang, but was politely rejected by Tang Yanqiu, and now the professor has agreed to the invitation of the Tang Shizi chip, which is enough to show that the professor is more optimistic about the Tang Shizi chip, which can naturally be regarded as a bargaining chip to persuade Ren Zhiyuan.

"Oh? Be your own IPCORE. No wonder Professor Tang is optimistic about you, this pattern is really big enough. Ren Zhiyuan did not answer directly, but casually praised it with deep meaning.

"It's not just a pattern, it's an opportunity. At a time when our 3D virtual screen technology is about to disrupt the industry, everything should be reinvented. Can existing CPU and GPU technologies support this technology? The answer is yes, yes! But now that we have this technology that is enough to lead an era, why use someone else's architecture? Making money for others? With 3D virtual screen technology as the core, Shizi intelligent operating system as the carrier. Create your own standards so that all manufacturers who want to use our technology in the future will have to play according to our rules of the game. Isn't that more exciting than doing just IC chip design? Mr. Ren, I have always admired your long-term vision, and I hope you can also make a decision this time. Wang Shizi's tone has never been so impassioned as it is today, and it can also be seen from this that this guy is eager to seek talent at this time.

And this time, Huawei's executives, especially those engaged in technology, are not rolling their eyes, but are dumbfounded.

That's a pretty good idea.

Why do we all know that the underlying core architecture and instruction set make money? But no one wants to start developing from this area? There is no other reason, the investment is huge, but it is difficult to guarantee profits.

Take Huaxia Loongson as an example. Loongson started with IPCORE, and it chose a MIPS-compatible ISA with many custom instructions added to it. Then it started from the microarchitecture and continued to tape-out, so aside from other factors, Loongson's CPUIPCORE was made by itself.

However, how is the Loongson market, which has invested heavily in PCs, performed? Generally, there are no stand-alone products equipped with Loongson on the market, and when it comes to CPU, everyone can only choose AMD in addition to intel. The problem is clear to everyone, the Windows-Intel architecture alliance is too difficult to break.

Others already have a mature industrial chain, with the ecosystem, and countless software developers support, but Loongson's MIPS instruction set can't even support Flash, Adobe and other software that everyone is used to, which leads to a problem, using Loongson can't even watch a video on the Internet, how can ordinary users pay for Loongson in this case?

In fact, if Loongson spends money on intel's X86 architecture like AMD, and conducts research and development on this basis, perhaps the market prospect of the current product may not be so helpless.

Therefore, Wang Shizi's vision is indeed very beautiful.

Research and development of the underlying architecture with complete independent property rights, through the adjustment of the Shizi smartphone system to ensure that users can use normally, through the 3D virtual screen technology, to attract major hardware manufacturers and software developers to actively use their own underlying core architecture and instruction set, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the standard to make a lot of money.

But how hard is it to realize this idea?

First of all, your own architecture and instruction set must support most mainstream applications, right? The display effect of the 3D virtual screen can't be much worse than the current mainstream GPU technology, right? All kinds of technical barriers have to be bypassed, right?

It is extremely difficult to develop the underlying architecture by yourself without solving these difficulties, not to mention that there are so many difficulties to be solved, and to pry a piece of fat out of the mouths of those technologically leading enterprises, is this really a goal that can be completed in the short term? The cake used to be round, but now the cake painted by this young man is simply big, round, fragrant and sweet, but it still hangs in the sky......

However, this time Ren Zhiyuan was silent for a longer time, and the words that came out a moment later made everyone completely speechless: "Well, it makes sense, why don't we talk about how to merge Hisilicon into the Datang Shizi chip, how about it?" (To be continued......)
