California, Silicon Valley.

As the only giant in the field of high-end chips that is still taking the IDM route, intel still maintains the world's top wafer fab - although it has been in n+++ in the past few years, this year with the mass production of EUV-based 4nm process, as well as 3nm verification and 1.8nm technology improvement...... This means that this giant of vicissitudes has once again radiated its vigorous vitality and competitiveness in the future.

And in order to stay competitive, Intel will never miss an opportunity that could change the world.

This is evidenced by the acquisition of TTD, a medical electrode company, in the first half of the year.

The management recognized the promise of such a "chip material" as GTRGD early on.

Therefore, after the acquisition of TTD, the process department of the fab has worked with several EDA partners to carry out joint chip integration and process breakthroughs.

But...... Progress is indeed a bit slow.

Because from the very beginning, all people have no ideas.

The only thing I could refer to was the circuit design provided in the paper published in the field of materials.

It wasn't until June, after a "Yeh's equation" came out from the theoretical physics community, that Intel obtained the real ideas and principles of integrated design from the equations.

……

"God is fair."

Carter, the process engineer in charge of the hybrid chip, took a sip of coffee and returned to his workstation with a smile: "Anyone must be under the Yip's equation to complete the design of the hybrid circuit, including EDA, and the process." ”

"No, if God is fair, it should be up to me to discover the equation."

Carter shrugged his shoulders with a smile, then coughed lightly to alert his colleague.

Because the team boss is here, it seems that his face is not good.

"Meeting."

With the sound of the boss, a group of engineers lazily walked to the conference room.

Half a minute later.

Blake looked at the silent engineers.

Just now, he shared with you a report from the mainland branch, which briefly described a general-purpose hybrid chip codenamed JZ03, and also attached a website address.

When you open this extremely simple website, even with only Chinese pages, you will be greeted by a picture of the press conference.

Even if the vast majority of people present could not read Chinese, they could understand that the company, called Jizhi Technology, was going to hold a press conference on October 6.

The products released are hybrid chips, EDA for design chips, and artificial intelligence.

In the age of the Internet, it is true that there are many messages that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, but it is also very easy to verify the authenticity of a message. It only takes a little cross-verification to confirm that unless the joint research center of the two mainland schools cooperates with this Jizhi Technology to falsify, there will be no problem with the news.

Since the message is fine, there is only one problem left.

"Can anyone tell me how they did it?"

Everyone remained silent.

"Where did this Jizhi technology come from?" Carter raised his head and looked at the boss: "Why haven't you heard any news?" ”

"Who should I ask this question?" Blake frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Regardless of where it came from, our focus should be on how they did it." ”

"No, sir." Carter clicked on the screen, trying to find some clues in the company's introduction.

Unfortunately, the site is rudimentary and has no introduction to the company's organizational structure at all – even more perfunctory than scam sites.

"I don't think a technology company that I had heard of at all half a year ago would be able to produce a full set of chips on its own, even if hybrid chips don't have high process requirements." Carter continued: "They must have chosen the foundry – who would it be? ”

As Carthusian analyzed, everyone looked to him.

"You mean, the mainland foundry took the lead in completing the process?"

"Quite possibly. If you don't mind, I'll give you a call and ask. ”

As he spoke, Carter pulled out his phone.

He silently calculated the time difference and dialed the number.

After a while, a smiling voice came from the phone, as if he expected him to ask something, and the voice on the phone said directly: "Brother, if you want to ask about hybrid chips, my answer is no comment." ”

Carthus scolded: "Is it really you? ”

"No comment."

"When are you going to announce it?"

"No comment."

"I, day, you, big, master!"

Carter scolded this colloquial sentence that was taught by the other party and expressed strong emotions word by word.

At this moment, a Chinese engineer sitting at the very end raised his head.

"I found it."

"According to the website that inquired about the registration information of enterprises in the mainland, one of the shareholders of Jizhi Technology is called YeMing."

Hearing this name, Carter was stunned, and then his ass was like a fire, and he got up instantly.

This name, he is too familiar.

“Ye-Equation？”

The engineer from the island nodded reluctantly, "It should be." ”

In a brief silence, everyone looked at Blake.

The discoverer of other people's materials and formulas personally went to the scene, how do you say that people did it?

"God is not fair."

……

……

October 4th.

Although it was close to 9 o'clock in the evening, Jizhi Technology was still brightly lit.

A bunch of people in the marketing department were working overtime to prepare for the launch in two days.

"Ye Ming! Look, Musk is advertising for us! ”

Qu Jing opened the glass door on her shoulder and broke into Ye Ming's office, holding her mobile phone with great excitement, without the slightest appearance that an office director should have.

After more than half a year of expansion, Jizhi Technology has gradually moved on the right track.

The specific manifestation is that the office area has expanded, the number of people has increased, and the company structure has been improved.

Since the office area has increased, Ye Ming's office is naturally indispensable - although he rarely comes to the company, as one of the bosses and as the de facto CTO - of course, there is a new word called chief scientist, and he must leave a separate office for him.

Ye Ming raised his head from the computer.

When he came to the company today, he mainly communicated some details of the press conference with his colleagues in charge of the press conference, and also determined the PPT.

"Musk advertises us?" Ye Ming felt a little surprised when he heard this, and looked at his phone with a smile: "Twitter?" ”

"Hmmm! A fan asked under his Twitter whether the billion would be invested, and then he replied to the fan, saying that he was ready to spend one billion dollars to acquire Jizhi Technology. ”

"Poof!"

Ye Ming laughed out loud instantly.

Well, this is very much in line with the philosophy of Mr. The richest man and his usual style of joking.

And from the perspective of communication, this is indeed a disguised help for Jizhi Technology to advertise.

"It's good, but unfortunately I didn't get the news." Ye Ming handed the phone back with a smile and looked outside again: "It's almost nine o'clock, why are you still working overtime?" ”

"If you don't go, they're embarrassed to go."

“…… Let them get off work quickly, and I'll be back right away. ”

"What about you? I'll send you later? ”

"Then it's troublesome Senior Sister."

Seeing Qu Jing go to announce his leave of work with great interest, Ye Ming exhaled softly.

Although he said that he came to work in the company, he discussed the details of the press conference with his colleagues.

But the vast majority of the time is wasted in email communication.

I don't know who leaked his email, he has received too many emails about Ye's equation and hybrid chips in the past few days.

Most of these emails come from medical schools and hospitals across the ocean.

They're all here for the chips.

——Jizhi Technology has released rumors that the JZ23 general-purpose hybrid chip has not yet obtained an export license because it is temporarily classified as a medical device.

Therefore, these units that need GTRGD the most have come to the door in person, intending to go through the channels of academic exchanges to obtain first-hand chips.

Well, that's fair.
