At this time, AMD and Intel are not heavyweights at all, and now Intel's annual revenue is only 100 million, but people dare to take out 300 million as research funds.

On the other hand, AMD at this time, despite the careful management of Sanders, their company is still in a state of loss, about 30 million a year, in this case, want to compare research and development with Intel, this is completely a fool's dream, the advantages and disadvantages of the R & D team This is not mentioned for the time being, that is, just look at the big three, and Sanders, a layman, can be thrown out of eighteen streets.

"Mr. Sanders, for these three problems of chips, I have studied books on this area before, and I also know some ways to solve them, but they are only limited to theory, and in practice, I can only say that there is nothing I can do......"

Not to mention that Yao Fei doesn't know about the current chip processing technology, even if he does, he won't rashly contribute to practical actions, what Yao Fei has to do is just to help AMD get closer to Intel.

"It doesn't matter, for us now, any little help is very precious, please say!"

It is better to have a harvest than to return empty-handed, and now Sima can only be a live horse doctor, and it is not too late to listen to the other party's answer.

"Okay, then I'll share my views and opinions.

As we all know, the utility consumption is proportional to the square of the supply voltage, so reducing the voltage is the most effective way to reduce power consumption, but the drop in the supply voltage is limited by the increase of the delay time, and reducing the threshold voltage is an effective way to solve this contradiction. However, at the same time, it will also bring the problem of increasing the leakage current at the sub-threshold.

In order to solve the above problems, I suggest that you can use multi-valued threshold voltage, variable threshold voltage and other methods, and changing the power supply voltage at a certain time or for some circuit parts is also a way to solve the contradiction between delay and power consumption......

Although this is only a general idea, it is undoubtedly more applicable at this time, because what Yao Fei said is after all, it brings them to try to solve the problems currently in front of them in other ways.

"Yao Fei, what you said makes a lot of sense. I think that's very helpful for those of us who are study designers. Please tell me about the other two solutions......"

Windfall, this is definitely an unexpected gain, Sanders didn't expect Yao Fei to have such attainments in chip design. The head of the word is the Tao. Even his half-tone can be understood. This made him look forward to Yao Fei's next words even more.

"Let's talk about the wiring problem, as the chip integration becomes higher and higher, another problem brought about by the small size is the square reduction of the wiring cross-sectional area and the contact area between the lead and the silicon with the proportional reduction factor. This results in an increase in routing delays.

In addition, due to the increase of current density, the reliability degradation effect caused by electric migration is more obvious, and the multi-layer wiring increases the development cycle and production cost.

In order to reduce the wiring resistance and current density, although a non-uniform proportional reduction method can be adopted, that is, the film thickness remains the same and the line width is reduced, but in this way, the ratio of the wiring side area to the wiring spacing increases, so that the parasitic capacitance between the wiring increases, resulting in an increase in coupling noise and timing error, and the influence of inductance must also be considered.

There are a lot of issues to consider when it comes to routing, but if you can try to use a high-performance circuit design automation tool to assist in your routing design, I think it will work well.

As for the complexity problem, there are two ways to solve this problem, one is high-abstract design, and the other is design sharing.

High abstraction design is to change the past integrated circuit design by all hardware to determine the circuit performance of the practice, but to make hardware and software work together to achieve circuit function, as for the common, refers to the standardization problem, the designation of the common standard can help us make full and effective use of resources.

Mr. Sanders, I'm done with what I've said, and I hope this will help you......"

After talking about the last two solutions in one breath, the next thing is to see if people understand what they mean and whether they will do it.

"Thank you very much, I have written down all of these, I will transfer these to our company's professional and technical personnel as soon as possible, I believe that with their efforts, we will provide your company with satisfactory next-generation products as soon as possible!"

With the help of Yao Fei's theories, their AMD work should be much better than before, at least in the most critical chip design concept, they will be able to make great progress.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do as a strategic partner!"

After talking about other people's problems, it's time to talk about Yao Fei's own affairs.

"In that case, I don't know what I need to do next, I think Mr. Yao Fei shouldn't have come to visit me this time, right?"

After saying the matter, Yao Fei put forward the strategic partnership between the two companies, Sanders didn't know that it was their turn to help others, the shopping mall is about coming and going, and letting others pay in vain is very detrimental to the maintenance of the relationship between the two parties.

"Mr. Sanders, you just need to know that I'm here and I've provided you with some useful help, and I've also brought some other cooperation projects, which should be very helpful in increasing your company's revenue and reducing losses, I wonder if you're interested?"

Although the things we talk about are very sensitive, we still have to talk about them, hoping that the other party will not let them down.

"I have always been very interested in business, please tell me about the specific content of cooperation, if it is within my authority, I can give you the results immediately!"

Their company is a joint-stock company, although Sanders is very influential in the company, and he is also the CEO, but not everything he has the right to decide, and some major collaborations still have to go through the executive board resolution.

"The first is about the procurement cooperation of the next generation of chips, and we hope to increase the existing procurement volume by 60%.

The other one is that we want to purchase two chip production lines from your company......"

Polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon are available, and the production line of chips is also necessary, it is not wise to find Intel in this regard, not to mention whether people sell it or not, even if they sell it, the price will definitely make Yao Fei feel very painful.

And looking for AMD to buy is different, I am not only a strategic partner of Renjia Company, a major high-quality customer, but also just provided valuable help for others, and I want to refuse it neatly, which is embarrassing to say anyway.

"I can promise you the question of chip procurement right now, but I don't think I can give you any answer to the procurement of chip production lines now......" (To be continued......
