Chapter 166: Someone Comes! (Ask for subscription)
Taking a step back, the technology of the auxiliary chip and the mobile phone processor chip is completely different. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What would be the effect if the auxiliary chip technology could be applied to the PC processor or other processors?
It is clear that the technology of this auxiliary chip is very powerful, and it is also very tempting for some people.
You know, not long ago, Double Intelligent Technology released the third "accompanying" drone new product launch poster warm-up poster.
Among them, there is gossip that the top chip this time uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip is a flight platform specially optimized based on drones, which integrates multiple drone functional chips into one chip, so that its performance and consumption can reach a perfect realm.
Although the drone industry is relatively unpopular at present, it is not close enough to the actual life of the public, so after this news broke out, it did not attract much attention.
Just lamenting the strength of Qualcomm.
And now Xiaomi Technology admits that the chip is the essence of Xiaomi's research and development over the years, and many people have linked the two things together.
Qualcomm is a frequent partner of Xiaomi, like Xiaomi, most of them are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors.
And now after launching its own processor, it is paired with this so-called auxiliary chip.
So will this chip be the product of Xiaomi's cooperation with Qualcomm?
You must know that although today's domestic mobile phone technology industry is constantly improving, it is really not flattering to domestic chip technology.
From the beginning of the domestic Loongson, to the current Hongxin, which claims to be able to kill Loongson in seconds.
However, in the early days, Hongxin, which was given high hopes by the state and obtained huge funds from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the local governments of Jiangsu, and undertook the nuclear high-base project, broke out in arrears of wages.
Although the report at the time was exaggerated, the lack of core was true.
Driven by big data and cloud computing, the market prospect of servers is extremely broad.
Some experts predict that by 2020, the server chip market will reach $15 billion.
As the world's second largest server chip market with huge potential, Huaxia has naturally become a battleground in the eyes of foreign companies.
At the same time, IBM has encountered many difficulties in operation, and its power server chip market share is constantly being eroded by x86, in order to strengthen the industry alliance and ecology, IBM is eager to support a partner in Huaxia to make low-end power server chips.
And with the help of the Chinese government's policies to protect against x86 erosion, IBM was able to continue to make money on high-end servers.
At the same time, Huaxia attaches great importance to the integrated circuit industry, and has given great support to the development of the industry from the central government to the local government.
In the publicity, Hongxin is going to introduce high-speed rail localization. Absorption and digestion, in the innovation class is the technical route.
According to the plan, the first CP1 is the vest of Power8, the second chip CP2 is 7nm, which is planned to be completed in 2018, and the third CP3 is an independent innovation after eating the Power8 technology.
But in fact, IBM came to Huaxia to find a partner, not with enough sincerity.
It can be likened to pulling a horse boy to charge for IBM.
For example, Power8's most valuable floating-point computing technology is not open to Hongxin, and Hongxin does not have access to IBM's full set of EDA tools.
There is no way, due to the turmoil in history, compared with some foreign countries, some technologies are indeed backward.
However, foreign countries, especially the United States, have very strict restrictions on the export of this technology.
Therefore, in terms of chip technology, some companies in Huaxia can only rely on their own exploration, even if some foreign companies come to Huaxia to find partners.
That is equivalent to using Huaxia company and policy as a guise, and the cooperative company is used as its agent.
If you want some new technology, Huaxia can only buy it, and what you buy is eliminated by others.
Therefore, when Xiaomi announced this news today, it caused a great sensation.
After all, domestic chips have always been synonymous with being unreliable and backward.
And everyone is also wondering, could it be that Xiaomi has mastered chip technology and has made a breakthrough?
And just after the official announcement of Xiaomi Technology, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
A group of important guests came to the conference room of the Xiaomi Technology Building.
"Hello Mr. Lei, this is Jing Gangjie, Minister of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China." Chen Liangao, mayor of Beijing, introduced Lei Jun in the conference room.
Lei Jun enthusiastically stretched out his hands and said, "Hello Minister Jing! ”
After everyone greeted them warmly, sitting in their seats, Lei Jun took the lead in speaking: "Is there any instruction for Minister Jing and Mayor Chen to come to my Xiaomi Technology today?" ”
Jing Gangjie said: "That's the case, for the auxiliary chip developed by your company, our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is very optimistic, just want to learn from Mr. Lei, is this auxiliary chip mastered by your company alone?" ”
After listening, Lei Jun said: "This auxiliary chip is developed by our Xiaomi technology for our Xiaomi processor, and the technical aspect can only be said to keep up with the needs of Miyu1 mobile phones, and it has not yet reached a very mature point." ”
After listening to this, Jing Gangjie nodded and said with a smile: "I came this time, in fact, I want to have a preliminary understanding, for advanced technology companies like you, the government is supportive and encouraging, I hope you can have better progress, if necessary, our government will support." ”
Lei Jun smiled when he heard this: "Thank you Minister Jing for your kindness." ”
The minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the mayor of Shanghai came to Xiaomi Technology, came quickly, and left quickly, so they had a brief conversation with Lei Jun, and asked for warmth.
Lei Jun also knows in his heart the country's tentative attitude.
For chip technology, the national government has always attached great importance to the attitude, and now Xiaomi Technology has taken the initiative to indicate that the technology of auxiliary chips is researched by its own company.
The country will naturally send people here to investigate, but what Lei Jun didn't expect was that the identities of the two people who came would be so grand.
After sending the two away enthusiastically, Lei Jun said secretly: "Qin Yu! Qin Yu, I have helped you attract the limelight, whether you can have a blockbuster performance depends on your kid's strength. ”
On the other side, Huawei, Meizu, vivo, and Coolpad are in the headquarters.
The CEOs of their respective companies were first shocked and then incredulous when they heard the news.
Huawei's chairman is in high spirits these days, and the release of Huawei Mate9 not only makes the eyes of all users who support Huawei products shine.
It has also made a huge profit for Huayu Company, and at the same time, it has sniped Miyu 1's footsteps in the high-end mobile phone market.
While they were all discussing how to implement their plans at the upcoming tech council, Xiaomi came up with a helper chip.
It's a pain in their eyes right now. (To be continued.) )
