In the heated discussion of countless Chinese people, the time also came to about eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, it was the time when the Spring Festival Gala was played.

However, compared with the annual Spring Festival Gala, countless Chinese people still like to continue to discuss issues related to Loongson I on the official website of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Even, many people in the chip industry have run to the official website of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences and continue to ask questions about Loongson I.

And there are two main problems with these problems.

The first is the production problem of Loongson I, whether it has been solved, and when it will be mass-produced.

The second is the production of Loongson I, which requires the use of lithography machines and many mechanical equipment that are now restricted by foreign chip companies.

For the questions that these people in the industry are most concerned about, the Huaxia Academy of Sciences sent out a dynamic again after a moment of silence to answer them specifically.

"First of all, we have made it very clear that Loongson I is not a chip in the traditional sense, it applies a new structure and new materials, so we don't need lithography machines and those mechanical equipment to make silicon-based chips at all."

"As for the mass production question that everyone asked, yes, we have solved it, and it can be put into production as soon as March this year."

When this news of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was released, many people in the industry were immediately excited after reading it.

"! Awesome, this is even directly mass-produced! ”

"Obediently, I always thought that Loongson I should only be in the experimental stage, but I didn't expect it to be put into production in two months, which is simply a high speed!"

"And the most important thing is that Loongson I doesn't need lithography machines and those mechanical equipment in the United States, which is very nice!"

"Is this the legendary that if you don't take us to play, then we will start another and play by ourselves?"

"Hehe, not long ago, the foreign chip industry was still ahead of us, but this wave of overtaking of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences directly threw them to the ends of the earth."

"I laughed, foreign chip companies always say that we can't produce top-notch lithography machines, and how difficult lithography machines are, but now we don't need to use them at all, let them play with backward silicon-based chips."

"Tsk, I don't know how ASML will feel when he sees this news, I think that expression should be quite exciting."

"I'll go, it will be put into production in March this year at the earliest, doesn't that mean that we can buy a mobile phone equipped with Loongson I in March and April?!"

"That's right, I just don't know how much it costs, such an awesome chip, it must be very expensive."

"I think that since the performance of Loongson I is so strong, it may be used in other industries first, and as for the field of mobile phones, it should take some time."

………

And just when the people of the country were happily discussing the data of Loongson I.

All the giant companies in the entire chip industry are now all one head and two big.

Around 10 a.m.

Apple's headquarters.

As the current president of Apple, Cook would have been in a good mood today.

However, his good mood disappeared completely after seeing the urgent information handed over by his subordinates.

“hattheFk？！”

Looking at the dynamics and detailed data about Loongson I released by the Huaxia Academy of Sciences on the laptop, Cook's eyes widened and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Oh! Damn it!

What the hell is going on!

Why did Huaxia suddenly have this kind of black technology chip overnight!

After coming back to his senses, Cook threw the laptop to the subordinate next to him with an ugly face, and said in a cold tone: "Immediately, immediately, call all the high-level officials to an emergency meeting!" ”

With that, Cook walked briskly towards the conference room with a gloomy expression.

Soon, with the issuance of Cook's order.

All the Apple executives, who had no idea, immediately rushed to the conference room for an emergency meeting.

in the conference room.

All Apple high-rises, sits at a huge round conference table

In front, his eyes were glued to the projection screen directly in front of him.

At this point, the content in the picture is very concise, only two short pages.

However, these two pages happen to be the two developments released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

And when all the Apple executives began to look at the content in the screen, their faces became more and more ugly.

“***！ What the hell is this neuron-like chip! How could this kind of performance exist! ”

After seeing the CPU data in front of the Loongson I, an Apple executive couldn't help but burst into a foul language, and his tone was full of incredible.

"If it is true, the performance of this neuro-like chip will be about 12 percent of our current A12 chip."

Another Apple executive said with an equally ugly face.

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room suddenly fell silent.

No one spoke again, and they all continued to look solemnly.

However, this dead silence did not last long, and was broken by the GPU of the Loongson I, the perfectly compatible new architecture, and patent issues.

"How is that possible! The research and development speed of their neuron-like chip is inevitably too fast! ”

An Apple executive couldn't help but exclaim.

GPU！

This kind of neuron-like chip not only does the CPU, but even the GPU does it together!

Hearing this, a senior technical director said with a gloomy face: "We should all know that it is not difficult to develop GPUs, but it is difficult to bypass the existing patent wall and develop GPUs suitable for current software." ”

"And this neuron-like chip, as the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, uses a completely different architecture, so in terms of patents, they can not be subject to any restrictions."

"In this way, since they can design the CPU of Loongson I, it is not difficult to design a GPU with the same performance."

As we all know, chip companies like Nvidia and AMD have built a great wall of patents for their own interests.

It's not easy for any company to break through this great wall of patents.

But now, the neuron-like chip released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is like an atomic bomb, and there is no scum left in the Great Wall of Patents.

Therefore, the explanation of Apple's top technical director did not make everyone's mood better, but made them heavier.

Especially when they saw that the neuro-like chip did not need to use a lithography machine, and the mass production problem had been solved, the original heavy mood was even worse.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became extremely heavy.

And in this dull and depressing atmosphere, all the Apple executives were speechless with ugly faces.

There was no way, they were really hit by the neuronal imitation chip of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the neuron-like chip of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is put into production, the chip industry around the world will be affected like a 12-magnitude earthquake!

Moreover, the first to bear the brunt are these giant companies in the chip industry!

You must know that before the emergence of this kind of neuron-like chip, the amount of chips imported by Huaxia in the world accounted for 66.67% of the entire chip market!

Of the 66.67% of the procurement, the United States naturally contributed the most, accounting for 38.5%, or 120 billion US dollars.

Secondly, the second contribution is the kimchi country, accounting for 32%, that is, about 100 billion US dollars.

In other words, when Huaxia's neuron-like chips are put into production in March this year, the import amount of the entire chip market will shrink significantly!

This also means that a large number of chips produced by their rice country and kimchi country according to the original plan will all be unsalable, and then left in the warehouse for mold.

When the time comes, there will surely be thousands of workers who will lose their jobs.

Even, with the passage of time, the entire chip industry will undergo earth-shaking changes, and countless chip foundries will go bankrupt!

And companies like them, who originally stood at the top of the chip industry pyramid, I am afraid that when the time comes, they will be completely reduced to Huaxia imitation neurons

Stepping stones for chips!

Thinking of this, all the Apple executives were secretly anxious.

The valley is at this time.

Cook coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

Under the gaze of everyone, Cook looked serious and said in a heavy tone: "Guys, we have *** annoyance." ”

Yes, *** annoying.

Moreover, it is not only Apple's annoyance, but also the annoyance of all chip giant companies.

As for why it is not said to be a matter of life and death, it is because the neuro-like chip has not yet been fully deployed.

They still have room to operate.

Cooke continued: "Although the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed neuron-like chips, they have not yet entered the mass production stage. ”

"Even, in the field of mobile phones, Huaxia's company should still need to debug the chip, we can take this opportunity to sell the latest generation of Apple's A13 chip, and then continue to develop the A14 chip."

"In addition, I suggest that we join forces with other chip companies such as Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD to suppress all companies that may appear in Huaxia in the next neuron-like chip configuration."

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed a lot of information in terms of dynamics.

Among them, Loongson I not only gets the GPU, it can also be carried on mobile platforms, as well as desktop platforms.

Such an operation will undoubtedly kill Nvidia and AMD.

It can be said that once the Loongson I is born, then whether it is Apple, Intel, AMD, or Nvidia, they will not sit still.

This also means that the interests of these chip company giants are the same.

Because if the domestic chip companies in China are allowed to rise, then these chip giant companies will be swept into the garbage heap of chip history, and no one cares about it.

So, they have to join forces.

"That's right! That's it! ”

"That's right, although the performance of Huaxia's neuro-like chips is indeed strong, we still occupy a dominant position in the chip industry, and we must suppress them!"

"Yes, let them finish! The chip market is ours! ”

"No matter how powerful their chips are, their operating system and ecological problems have not been solved, and they are also not the opponent of our Apple mobile phones!"

………

As Cook's words fell, many Apple executives nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll contact Intel now!"

Seeing this, Cook nodded, quickly declared the meeting over, and walked briskly outside.

Meanwhile.

Just when many foreign chip company giants are ready to unite.

China's domestic chip companies are also starting to be lively.

Warwick Corporate Headquarters.

As the current president of Huawei Company, Ren Zhengfei went to the official website of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences for inquiry as soon as he received the news of the neuron-like chip in the news broadcast.

And when he saw the detailed data of Loongson I, after eating the reunion dinner at home, he didn't care about anything else, and returned to the company directly overnight and began to hold a high-level emergency meeting.

The whole meeting was very short, and the content of the meeting was small, only one.

That is to get in touch with Lin Yu, the president of Huanyu Technology Company, or the Huaxia Academy of Sciences as soon as possible.

As for the purpose, it is very simple, that is, to obtain the right to use the Loongson I in the field of mobile phones.

It can be said that now all domestic chip companies hope that they can become the spokesperson of Loongson I.

Especially Warwick.

For Huawei, which does not have a strong foreign background, it is more eager to need Loongson I than any other chip company.

You must know that Warwick's chip model belongs to the Fabless (fabless manufacturing design) category, which is only responsible for the circuit design and sales of chips.

Others, such as production, testing, and packaging, are outsourced to other manufacturers.

In the process of designing chips, Huawei has adopted EDA software from foreign giants to design chips.

If foreign chip companies start with EDA software, Huawei can not use the latest version of EDA software.

In addition, ARM's architecture authorization and voice authority also do not have any right to speak.

In addition, Huawei's chips are manufactured by TSMC, but TSMC uses semiconductor equipment from the United States to produce chips.

Not only that, chip foundries such as SMIC, Samsung, GF, UMC and other major chip foundries have used a large number of semiconductor equipment from the United States.

There is no way, because the share of rice in the field of semiconductor equipment exceeds 50%.

Especially in the fields of deposition, etching, ion implantation, CMP, homogenization and development, the advantages are obvious, and everyone uses the equipment of the United States.

As a result, before the appearance of Loongson I, Huawei was extremely dependent on foreign chip systems.

Even, as long as foreign hostile forces want to suppress, then Warwick will be in trouble.

However, now it is different, when Loongson I appears, all these problems that originally plagued Huawei can be solved!

So, in the face of such a big benefit, how could Warwick not be in a hurry.

Office of the President.

In the brightly lit room, Ren Zhengfei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, frowning and looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Knock knock."

Suddenly, there was a heavy knock on the door.

"Come in."

Ren Zhengfei came back to his senses, and after saying a word, he turned to look at the door.

Soon, the manager Song You walked in quickly, and said with an excited expression: "Mr. Ren, the Huaxia Academy of Sciences and Huanyu Technology Company have replied to the news!" ”

"Why, did they agree?"

Ren Zhengfei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses.

"Didn't agree."

Manager Song You said with a smile: "They said that the use of Loongson I needs to consult Mr. Lin first, but they told me that if Mr. Lin agrees, then they will give priority to our Warwick!" ”

"Good! That's great! ”

After listening to Song You's words, Ren Zhengfei, who originally looked gloomy, suddenly burst out laughing.

To be honest, he himself is not very optimistic about asking about the right to use the Loongson I.

It's just that since the opportunities are in front of him, he has to go up and try it no matter what.

Therefore, he thought that the above would refuse him with kind words that neither agreed nor refused.

However, what he never expected was that the above would say that Warwick would be preferred.

You know, since they have said this kind of thing, they must have a good impression of Warwick.

Of course, this kind of goodwill must be related to the fact that they do not have a strong foreign investment background.

Thinking of this, Ren Zhengfei was also in a good mood and said: "By the way, if there is any latest news from Mr. Lin's side, remember to notify me immediately." ”

"Okay!"
