Chapter Seventy-Five: To the Treasure Island

The performance of the Z10, a new core architecture, is equal to 138% of the performance of the X2 core architecture launched by ARM at the same frequency.

This is equivalent to 345% of the performance of the A76 architecture currently launched by ARM.

Even this new core architecture is basically much stronger than the core architecture of the current fruit CPU.

Even the CPU performance of the four 2.4Ghz Z10 core architecture is basically slightly better than that of the fruit A12.

And the power consumption of this CPU core is also very low, basically the same as A76 in terms of low-frequency power consumption, and basically only 62% of the power consumption of X2 core with the same frequency and process process in terms of high-frequency power consumption.

And this Z10 CPU core with the current H10 GPU core, can fully enable the processor chip designed by Yuzhen to surpass the A series chips of fruit and become the leader in the industry.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!"

Although the performance and power consumption of this new CPU core architecture are very good, Zhou Zhen does not plan to take out this technology directly.

The technical content of this CPU core architecture is far better than that of the H10 GPU core architecture.

If Yuzhen can design and produce processor chips that use two technical architectures at the same time, it will inevitably become the target of the entire industry.

Western technology companies and some people will not watch Yuzhen become the industry hegemon, thus restricting the development of Yuzhen in some aspects.

H10, the core of the GPU, can be used openly on its own products.

However, the powerful CPU core of Z10 needs to wait until Zhou Zhen officially enters the semiconductor manufacturing industry and can officially produce chips before he can take out the technology of this core.

Although the Z10 big killer cannot be released for the time being, it can be modified by borrowing the Z10 core to make the A76 core.

The overall performance of the A76 core is not bad, and the core architecture is relatively stable.

After having a new technology, a deep magic modification of this core can increase the performance of this core by at least about two percent.

After improving by 30%, the performance has basically surpassed the core architecture of the A77, and the performance of the A76 has been developed to a level that can be proud of the others.

Zhou Zhen, who had a new idea, also rushed to Yuzhen Company non-stop.

After discussing the development process with the company, Zhou Zhen also took the core personnel of the Yuzhen team to the Baodao plane, ready to prepare for the company's next development.

Treasure Island is a magical place.

In the early years, the semiconductor industry was first developed in island countries.

The transfer of the semiconductor industry has gradually shifted to the two regions of Bangziguo and Baodao, and these two regions have officially become the semiconductor industry gathering area.

MediaTek, as one of the second largest semiconductor design companies in the global industry, has a longer history of designing chips than HiSilicon Kirin.

Of course, the real rise of the domestic copycat market is still thanks to the support given to these manufacturers by MediaTek's chips.

MediaTek's chip has perfect functions and the price is also very cheap, which greatly reduces the threshold for copycats to enter the market.

And the main purpose of Zhou Zhen's coming to MediaTek this time is to cooperate!

On the one hand, it wants to use MediaTek's hand to contact TSMC semiconductors.

After all, Yuzhen is a very small company, and it belongs to the kind of small transparent existence in the entire industry.

If Yuzhen Company goes to TSMC to produce chips now, the other party is estimated to not take care of Yuzhen.

Even if you take care of Yuzhen, I am afraid that you will not let Yuzhen use the latest process technology first.

Orders for TSMC's most advanced process technology are generally given priority to first-tier manufacturers such as Guozi, HiSilicon, and Paste Tong.

As for some small companies, TSMC is not willing to deal with them at all.

For this reason, Zhou Zhen can only lock his eyes on MediaTek, which is closely related to TSMC.

At the same time, Zhou Zhen actually plans to start making mobile phones by himself, on the one hand, for fame and profit, and on the other hand, he is to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the company's remaining R2 material screen inventory as soon as possible.

R2 screens are still relatively good screens, but the value of such screens will become less and less as time goes by.

Zhou Zhen needs to use this batch of screens to completely clean up before 19 years.

At the same time, Rouyu Company also needs to replace all the company's basic production lines with R3 material production lines at the beginning of next year.

MediaTek naturally already has a mature design team, and the current Zhou Zhen needs to cooperate with MediaTek as soon as possible to design a chip as soon as possible, and will be able to use this chip in mobile phones in the second half of next year.

The team of Yuzhen Company is too small, and its work efficiency is far inferior to that of mature chip design manufacturers such as Shanghai Kirin and MediaTek.

On the other hand, Zhou Zhen intends to rely on the patent licensing of the corresponding GPU core architecture in exchange for some benefits.

Of course, the core launched as an exchange of interests this time is not the H10 core, but a core specially prepared for MediaTek.

After the core of the GPU, H10, has been castrated and reduced accordingly, Yuzhen has launched the core of H8.

The H8 core is a castrated version of the H10 core, and the performance is basically reduced by 25% under the premise of the same frequency and the same power consumption.

Even so, the overall performance of this core is still about 26% better than the current leading public version of the G76.

From the comparison of energy consumption ratio, the energy consumption ratio of this H8 core is basically 68% stronger than that of G76, and even the energy consumption ratio is stronger than that of G77, which has not been released.

The core level of H8 is basically between G77 and G78, which is definitely a very leading GPU core architecture in this era.

And Zhou Zhen believes that relying on such attractive conditions as H8 can attract MediaTek.

After all, the overall performance of the processor chips produced by MediaTek has not been good, and the gap between GPUs and fire dragon processor chips is too big.

It can be said that the performance of GPUs has always been a major weakness of MediaTek processor chips.

Especially now, the image quality of mobile games is constantly improving, and the requirements for GPUs with processor chips are getting higher and higher.

H8 This core is a piece of fat in front of MediaTek.

After all, the core performance of the H8 is really stronger than the core of the best G76 at the moment.

If MediaTek adopts this core on its own mobile phone processor chip in the future, it will basically have a certain advantage in the next two or three years.

According to the Dimensity chip launched by MediaTek in the 5G era, MediaTek has never stopped pursuing the high-end market.

Zhou Zhen firmly believes that the other party will not let go of this opportunity.

"Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Mr. Li, I'm going to trouble you this time!"

When he came to the door of MediaTek, a middle-aged man in casual clothes greeted Zhou Zhen with a smile.

Zhou Zhen worked in the rice company for half a year, and during this half year, although he was cheated by the rice company for a long time, he also accumulated some supply chain contacts during this period of time.

Most of the chips in the Mi Note3 series are chips with paste pass, but the small chips for audio and some sensors are from MediaTek.

Li Rong in front of him is the business manager of MediaTek, and he often runs back and forth between various mobile phone manufacturers in the mainland and MediaTek headquarters on Treasure Island.

And Zhou Zhen happened to meet Li Rong during a dinner in the rice company, which can be regarded as one of the gains in the rice company in the past six months.

Under the leadership of Li Rong, Zhou Zhen and a team of several people behind him officially entered the MediaTek headquarters.

And under the leadership of Li Rong, an acquaintance, he came to the conference room and met Sun Xing, the R&D director of MediaTek and vice premier.

And Zhou Zhen looked at Sun Xing and did not hesitate to say the purpose of his arrival this time.

First, to promote the GPU core of H8, I want to rely on this core in exchange for corresponding benefits.

Second, let your company's team and MediaTek team work together to design and produce a chip.

At the same time, our own team can learn some things and experience with the help of this joint research and development.
