As a reborn person, Wu Tian naturally will not ignore the huge market of CPUs, let alone the importance of CPU manufacturing capacity to a country.

However, in the eighties and nineties, due to the international technology monopoly, Wu Tian wanted to develop CPU projects, and there was no way to talk about it - that kind of high-precision technology could not be successful by gathering a group of experts to study on their own for a few years, not to mention that there were giants such as INTEL and AMD.

Therefore, Wu Tian has made a decision a long time ago to give up the CPU research and development of the X86 architecture!

Wu Tian in the previous life, after a few days in the computer city, still has some understanding of the computer industry.

According to the classification of CPU instruction set, there are two main camps, one is the complex instruction set CPU led by intel and AMD, and the other is the reduced instruction set CPU led by IBM and ARM. For example, Intel and AMD's CPUs are x86 architecture, while IBM's CPU is PowerPC architecture, and ARM is ARM architecture.

FIRST OF ALL, INTEL'S X86 ARCHITECTURE, BECAUSE ITS ARCHITECTURE HAS NOT APPLIED FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION, BELONGS TO AN OPEN ARCHITECTURE, IN THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES, MANY CPU MANUFACTURERS ON THE MARKET ARE PRODUCING CPUS COMPATIBLE WITH X86 ARCHITECTURE. HOWEVER, DUE TO INTEL'S R&D STRENGTH, OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE FAR BEHIND INTEL IN TECHNOLOGY, AND IN THE END, ONLY AMD IS LEFT TO BE A RELUCTANT OPPONENT, BUT THERE IS ALSO A HUGE GAP, AND IT CAN ONLY COMPETE FOR THE LOW-END MARKET AT A LOW PRICE.

The x86 architecture is powerful. However, there is a fatal drawback, which is that the power consumption is too high. Thereupon. After the advent of the smartphone era, the microprocessor of the ARM architecture began to emerge.

ARM is an intellectual property supplier, and the biggest difference between it and ordinary semiconductor companies is that it does not manufacture chips and does not sell chips to end users, but transfers design solutions through guò, and partners produce chips with their own characteristics. For example, manufacturers such as Qualcomm and MTK, which were quite famous in the field of mobile phones, all used the ARM architecture to produce CPUs.

WU TIAN'S EYES ARE NATURALLY DIRECTLY AIMED AT ARM, A GIANT THAT WILL BE ABLE TO RESIST INTEL IN THE FUTURE.

ARM was founded in the early nineties and is located in Cambridge, England, and in the nineties it was not very good. After all, compared to the powerful X86, the shoveling performance they designed is too poor, and it is really not competitive to make computers.

So, a few years ago, Wu Tian asked Yang Xiaoya to acquire a large number of its shares, and repeatedly injected capital to give a sufficient foundation for development. At present, Zhongtian has occupied more than 60% of its shares, which is equivalent to taking ARM for its own use.

"Actually, Tianhua Electronics already has a CPU R&D team." Wu Tian said to Tie San Shao.

"I know," said Tie Sanshao. "But that team is too foolish, isn't it? What can just those few people develop? There has been no progress in so many years. Don't try to coax me! ”

"Uh......" Wu Tian was depressed and said, "Third uncle, the CPU is not a noodle pincher, you still expect to succeed in one step?" ”

"If one step doesn't work, then two steps!" Tie Sanshao said, "I am responsible for applying for national support funds for you, as long as you guarantee me the results!" ”

"Tsk......" Wu Tian bared his teeth, is this really forcing himself to go the wrong way?

For domestic chips, Wu Tian also knows something. In fact, as early as the beginning of the two thousand years, the so-called CPU with independent intellectual property rights has been developed in China, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is also just the purchase of foreign CPU architecture design.

In the camp of simple instruction sets, there is also a company called MIPS, which, like ARM, licenses the design, the so-called domestic first core, which is people's technology. Subsequently, AMD reached an agreement with China to procure its products, and AMD licensed its backward product designs to domestic manufacturers for free. Later, domestic manufacturers united with VIA Company on Taiwan Island, which was eliminated as early as the end of the nineties because of backwardness, and formed a new company to develop and produce CPUs......

And so on, is the so-called road to the development of domestic chips, and on this road, an unavoidable problem is the state's support funds.

As early as after the advent of COMS chips, the country suddenly noticed this field and began to invest in supporting funds to support the research and development of domestic chips, and various chip companies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain......

Wu Tian is actually very disgusted with this kind of support fund incident, with so much money, it is better to find a way to improve the problem of improving people's livelihood. Technology research and development should be a market behavior, and it is the independent behavior of enterprises and universities, but there are many people who are counting on this to eat, and there is no way to put an end to it.

"Alas, okay, then let's separate this piece and set up a chip company." Wu Tian thought for a while and said, "But I don't want the state's replication funds, as long as I can give me some support policies." ”

"You can rest assured that the policy is not a problem." Tie San Shao smiled, and then sighed, "There are still many blank places in the field of science and technology in China now, and you have to worry about this aspect." ”

Wu Tian pouted. "I'm just a little profiteer. I can't manage such a big thing. ”

Tie San Shao shook his head and smiled. Obviously, he didn't agree with Wu Tian's words, this kid said this, but in fact, the companies under his command didn't know how many national gaps they had filled. Not to mention the Fengyun Research Center and Tiandao Academy in the mall, how many international advanced levels have been produced......

"Tianshao, isn't this a fraud?" Chang Tianhua frowned and said.

"What is this called cheating? ARM is also our company, with our own company's technology, doesn't it mean that it is independently developed by us? Wu Tian pouted and said.

Wu Tian naturally didn't want to set up a new company to start over research. Not to mention the manpower and material resources that need to be invested, it is not realistic to say that it is only time - this thing does not mean that it can be successful by throwing money at it. Therefore, Wu Tian decided to use ARM's architecture to produce domestic CPUs.

However, there is no doubt that this so-called independent research and development is pure nonsense.

In fact, Wu Tian is also very clear that one of the reasons why the country wants to independently develop CPUs is that they are afraid that foreign CPUs will be stored in backdoor programs or something, and once applied to national defense, they will be easy to be controlled by others.

Wu Tian didn't care about these things. He is more interested in the market.

Just like the Loongson of later generations, although it is known as independent research and development. But it is not accepted by the market at all - the performance is hundreds of times different, and it will not be sold at all when it is launched into the market. The only use is government procurement, which is used as a learning machine.

Wu Tian hopes that the chips he manufactures can become mainstream products in the market, which can not only supply domestic demand, but also export to the world!

Only by occupying the world market and becoming the world's mainstream products like INTEL and Qualcomm can we talk about success and have the ability to talk about independent research and development.

"Chang, as a technology practitioner, you can't have the concept of national restrictions, you have to have the awareness of looking at the whole world." Wu Tian said bitterly, "What is independent research and development?" Does it have to be independently developed by the Chinese themselves? Then look at how many Chinese technical talents go to Silicon Valley! We have to think like this, it's foreign devils who work for us, and what we research is called independent research and development! ”

Chang Tianhua couldn't help nodding, no way, it's already a habit.

"The key issue is on ARM's side, you have to make sure that there are no leaks and other problems. I will ask Xiaoya to transfer the jurisdiction of ARM to your side, and you are responsible for supervision," Wu Tian said, "It's really not good, go back and simply move ARM to China, isn't that pure independent research and development?" ”

Chang Tianhua scratched his head and said, "This is the best, why don't you just move the ARM company back?" ”

Wu Tian couldn't help but smack his lips, does this person really want to do one thing? Not to mention that he currently only owns 60% of the shares, and he can't move back at all, even if he can really move back, I'm afraid that ARM will be doomed -- the key to ARM's strong development is that it relies on Cambridge, and colleges and universities are the cradle of science and technology.

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************

After talking about the CPU plan, Wu Tian chatted with Chang Tianhua about the battle against Blue Star.

The reason why Bluestar became strong in later generations is that it has risen rapidly by virtue of the two major industries of mobile phones and LCD, and Wu Tian's response plan naturally falls on these two aspects.

Don't worry about the mobile phone problem for the time being, Tianhua Technology has occupied a heavy market share in the mobile phone market, and it is quite difficult for Bluestar to emerge - in the era of feature phones, Tianhua Technology has occupied enough market share, and then there is a "copycat" plan, which can completely prevent the rise of Bluestar. NOT TO MENTION THE ERA OF SMART PHONES, THE ARM ARCHITECTURE CPU IS THE CORNERSTONE OF THE ERA OF SMART PHONES, AND THEN YOU ONLY NEED TO GRAB GOOGLE'S JOB, AND IT IS NOT A PROBLEM.

In terms of LCD, it is necessary to fight technology.

Bluestar has been involved in the research and development of LCD as early as a few years ago, and now has the ability to produce large-size LCD panels, but compared with the mature display effect and cheap production cost of CRT, LCD is not competitive for the time being.

However, Wu Tian is very clear that in the next three or four years, LCD technology will become more and more mature, production costs will be reduced rapidly, and the CRT era will come to an end. That said, Bluestar is about to start reaping huge profits.

Tianhua Technology, although it also got involved in LCD technology research and development two years ago, is far behind the level of Bluestar.

In fact, seriously speaking,Bluestar's LCD panel technology is not advanced,Its main production is slightly backward panels,Whether it is color、Angle of view、Response time and other parameters are relatively low,And the production cost is relatively low,However, it relies on brand management,The market share is quite high。

Of course, there is another reason that the investment in LCD panels is quite huge, coupled with the rapid upgrading of technology, often the production line of a generation of technology has just been built, and the next generation of technology has already come out, and you need to invest in the construction of the next generation of production lines immediately, otherwise you will be eliminated by the market.

It is by virtue of its huge financial strength that Bluestar has been able to maintain the production of the latest generation of technology, although its level is a little behind in the same generation of technology, but if people have product output, they will naturally be able to earn more profits......
