Paul is worried about the future of Intel, because the size of the Chinese market is quite terrifying, Intel can do without Europe, without the African market, but it must not do without China.

If the performance of the Aurora chip really surpasses the performance of Intel, will the Chinese still purchase Intel's chips? The answer is obvious.

Intel has just invested more than one billion RMB to build a new semiconductor chip factory in the Yangtze River basin city in China, hoping to use China's excellent industrial chain and cheap labor to expand production capacity.

But Intel can't do anything now, and he can only wait before the Aurora chip goes on the market.

Intel has the supreme magic weapon in the chip industry - patents!

Now that the Aurora chip is only announcing the performance but not the internal architecture, Paul believes that as long as it is a chip, it is inseparable from the architecture of polysilicon semiconductors. If Bluestar Technology had adopted this architecture, Intel and AMD would have sued it for bankruptcy.

Also waiting for chips to go public are AMD, Qualcomm and other companies, they look at the new disruptors have their own plans.

AMD has prepared for the worst, and it seems that the Aurora chip will definitely be researched. If the Aurora chip is really on the market, then it is hoped that its price will be extremely high, and it can only be supplied to scientific research and military enterprises in China.

Qualcomm moved a bench to eat melon seeds next to it, and it didn't seem like a big deal to see the excitement, it didn't know how long it wouldn't be able to wait, and unicorn chips would also appear.

Unlike the lively online discussions, the atmosphere in the semiconductor industry is very depressing.

Samsung couldn't help but complain: "X, you also have this day, now you know how I felt when the carbon crystal battery and graphene moore memory were released, just play with me!" Don't believe in the strength of Bluestar Technology! ”

In 2018, Samsung's memory and lithium battery business shrank directly, and it has completely withdrawn from the Chinese market after losing orders from Huaguo, and Samsung Electronics' profit in 2017 fell by 30% compared with 2016. Affected by the decline in Samsung's performance, the GDP of the stick country was directly lowered by 0.5 percentage points.

The news of the successful development of the Aurora chip of Bluestar Technology has also spread abroad, and the attitude of Omi countries is also very cautious, they are concerned about the date of the official listing of the Aurora chip, and only when the chip comes to the hands of consumers can it judge its actual technological content and value.

Jiang Cheng, Chen Nuo's office, the pricing of Aurora chips is also being hotly discussed.

The cost difference between the chips of Aurora 1.0L, M, and H is not large, and they are all castrated versions of smart chips, just to cater to the market at all levels for technical differentiation. When needed, the Aurora chip can be turned into a smart chip with higher performance through technical processing.

Similarly, it is also a gimmick to use part of the computing function of the Aurora chip to integrate different levels of graphics cards, and the Aurora chip is completely overcapable of dealing with the current computer software, as long as Blue Star can be willing, the Aurora chip can completely share part of the computing power and become the most powerful graphics card.

"Because our process is completely different from the traditional silicon chip chip, although the technical content is higher, the yield rate is also higher. Twenty production lines are all automated production, and the average yield rate can reach more than 95%. Therefore, after the test, the comprehensive cost of each Aurora chip is 300RMB, and 300 yuan includes raw material costs, management fees and taxes. ”

Zhang Yi briefly reported on the cost of Aurora chips.

Chen Nuo held back his words in his heart, this is only the surface cost, if the hard work of generations of scientists in the Blue Star World is included in the cost, and the crisis encountered in his adventure in the Blue Star World is included in the cost, the comprehensive cost is 30,000 pieces, which is considered less.

Liu Kai continued Zhang Yi's words and said: "If you convert according to the equivalent products of Intel and NVIDIA, the price of the lowest version of Aurora 1.0L should be about 3000 yuan, the price of 1.0M is about 5500, and the price of 1.0H is about 25,000. However, our products have higher performance, lower power consumption, smaller volume and mass, so the above selling price can only be used as a reference. ”

Chen Nuo asked, "What about Mr. Liu?" ”

Liu Jiangfeng does not manage technology, he speaks with market data in everything.

He said: "According to the market analysis data we provided through Xiaoyou, the price range of the CPU with the best spending power of Chinese consumers is between 1500 and 4000, of which the number of consumers with 2500 yuan to 3000 yuan is the largest, which corresponds to the mainstream chips of Intel I5 type and the low-end chip of I7." The consumer group of the graphics card is concentrated in the GTX1060 range, and the price is about 2000 yuan. To sum up, the average consumer is willing to spend 4500 yuan on CPU+ graphics cards. Of course, if it is a brand machine, the cost taken by the merchant will be a little lower than the price just now. ”

A smart CEO doesn't make decisions on his own, but takes his advice to his boss and lets him make a choice.

Chen Nuo took a sip of tea, "Mr. Liu's analysis is very reasonable, in fact, we only have two kinds of signals L and M that we really face the market, and the performance of H is too high and the price is too high, most of which are supplied to enterprises to build servers." In this way, the tentative price of Aurora chip 1.0L in China is 4000 yuan, and the price of 1.0M is 6500 yuan, which should be acceptable to everyone. ”

The boss spoke, and the matter was settled.

Chen Nuo put down the teacup, looked at several backbones of the company and said, "Let's choose a good day and send the goods directly to the official shopping mall and TB mall of Bluestar." There is still a lot of work in the back, and many people are lining up in the hope of waiting for the cooperation of Bluestar. ”

Indeed, there are still many people waiting in line to cooperate with Bluestar.

The size of the Aurora chip is very small, and the interface is different from the current chip, only a 2V power supply is needed to power supply, so before the launch of the new generation of motherboards, motherboard manufacturers need to add a sleeve to the chip to adapt to the interface of the current motherboard.

Don't underestimate this small sleeve, according to international rules, to produce motherboards suitable for chips, you must be authorized by the chip manufacturer.

For a time, Yingtai, Colorful, WeChat, Gigabyte, Onda and other motherboard manufacturers came to the door in the hope of cooperating with Bluestar Technology.

Now the competition of the main board is quite incentive, and whoever gets the authorization of Bluestar Technology will undoubtedly occupy a huge advantage in the future competition. Even ASUS, which scolded Bluestar Technology some time ago, was cheeky enough to send people to talk about cooperation, and there was no money that could not be passed.

Needless to say, Colorful and Onda belong to mainland motherboard manufacturers, and they are all contributing to Huaguo Technology, and Chen Nuo is very generous to authorize them.

The two manufacturers cheered, more excited than when they got the authorization of Intel and AMD, with the experience of graphene moore memory, they clearly saw that Bluestar Technology is definitely the future of science and technology!

But what about Wanwan brands like Gigabyte and Asus? At the beginning, Samsung reached an alliance and resolutely did not support these manufacturers of graphene memory.

Chen Nuo smiled, "Please quote your price, now we already have two motherboard manufacturers, I can also choose one." ”
