In addition to the material, the design software of the ice engraving machine and the corresponding production line are also problematic.

Zhou Zhen looked at the technology points he had accumulated so far, and couldn't help but sigh.

Relying on this half a year, Zhou Zhen finally had these technology points, and it seems that when the ice engraving machine is launched next year, these technology points will probably all be added to the semiconductor technology.

However, after the launch of the ice engraving machine, Zhou Zhen's supply chain system will be on a higher level, and it will also have an absolute leadership position in the entire technology industry.

It's November!

As a month for mobile phone manufacturers to clear their inventory products, various mobile phone brands have more or less carried out price reduction promotions.

As for the products released by Roupai, the Roupai mobile phone 3 series has also begun to reduce the price, and the entire series of products will be directly discounted by 500 yuan during the Double Eleven period.

As the top flagship Roupai mobile phone 3S series that has just been released, it is still stable in the corresponding price range and maintains the most basic product positioning.

In this way, domestic users who support Roupai breathe a sigh of relief.

From the side, the current Roupai mobile phone has basically gained a firm foothold in the high-end flagship price range.

At the same time, it has also been supported by many domestic users.

For the Roupai mobile phone 3S series to enter the Eastern European market, due to the relatively small consumption power of the consumer group in the Eastern European market, the overall product sales are basically the same as the sales data of domestic products.

The Western European market has long forgotten the brilliant performance of the soft school that has just entered the European market.

The brilliance of the Roupai mobile phone is like a flash in the pan, and after a brilliant bloom, it disappeared from the public's field of vision.

At the same time, during the Double 11 period, MediaTek, which is closely related to Yuzhen Semiconductor, also found Yuzhen Semiconductor.

In fact, in late July this year, MediaTek designed next year's flagship processor chip.

It's just that the performance of the corresponding design of the flagship processor chip is not particularly obvious compared with the Dimensity 2100 co-designed with Yuzhen Semiconductor.

And the recently revealed fire dragon flagship processor chip, this time will no longer squeeze toothpaste.

This is a very huge challenge for MediaTek, if it can continue to maintain this year's performance next year, I am afraid that MediaTek is likely to overturn the fire dragon in the real sense.

After thinking about it, MediaTek finally found Yuzhen Semiconductor, hoping to work with the other party to design a powerful processor chip to snipe MediaTek.

And so it was! This performance really hasn't improved much! ”

Zhou Zhen looked at the performance parameters of MediaTek's latest flagship processor chip, and couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with the Dimensity 2100 released last year, the overall performance is only an improvement of less than 10%, which can only be regarded as a small iteration in terms of performance.

To be honest, the relationship between MediaTek and Yuzhen Semiconductor is still relatively close, after all, MediaTek's processor chips use a lot of technology about Yuzhen Semiconductor.

MediaTek basically sells the corresponding processor chips, and Yuzhen Semiconductor can also collect a lot of income.

Under the premise of interests and the current common enemy, the cooperation between Yuzhen Semiconductor and MediaTek is inevitable.

Of course, how long such cooperation can last, Zhou Zhen is not sure.

After all, sometimes the so-called cooperation is nothing more than a corresponding bundle of interests.

When there is a conflict of interest between the two companies, the final cooperation will come to naught, and the two companies may even turn against each other.

However, out of the corresponding interests and in order to be able to get more prestige and income value, Zhou Zhen still chose to cooperate with MediaTek.

After all, part of this year's revenue value comes from MediaTek's Dimensity 2000 series processor chips.

Due to the use of the corresponding Yuzhen semiconductor technology, the Dimensity 2000 series processor chip is not sold, and Zhou Zhen can get the corresponding income value.

However, Zhou Zhen will still consider keeping a hand when cooperating with MediaTek, after all, after the ice engraving machine appears, the relationship between Yuzhen Semiconductor and MediaTek may be more competitive than cooperative.

"Is it too late?"

"It's just in time! But consider swapping out the A710 for the A78 and the A510 for the A55! ”

Regarding MediaTek's request, Zhou Zhen did not refuse, and even began to make some suggestions to MediaTek.

For example, replace the medium and small cores of the current processor chips.

The A710 and A510 are Arm's newest cores, but they're less than 8% of the upgrades from the previous generation A78 and A55.

Even at medium and high frequencies, the power consumption of these two cores will be increased by at least 20% compared to that of the previous generation of cores.

This is a very scary number, and it can be seen from this figure that these two new cores are basically in a situation where the energy consumption ratio is overturned.

Even after becoming the core of the processor chip, the performance is not as good as the A78 and A55 cores of the previous generation.

For example, in history, the Fire Dragon 778G was actually forced to act as the savior of the two generations of Fire Dragon mid-range chips.

Among them, in 2021, the mid-range processor chip released by Paste Pass its

It is actually a fire dragon 780g that uses the same Sansang 5nm process technology as Fire Dragon 888.

As a result, this mid-range processor chip, which was highly anticipated, eventually caused the chip to heat up seriously due to the corresponding process, and finally the paper was used in the youth version of the Rice mobile phone 11 series.

As a result, Huolong urgently adopted TSMC's six-nanometer process technology to save the scene, and Huolong 778G acted as its own mid-range processor chip.

And this chip has also been recognized by many manufacturers for its adequate performance and corresponding low power consumption, and is widely used in mid-range models.

It stands to reason that the anointing that has suffered a loss should have some memory, but unfortunately the anointing does not have a long memory.

In 2022, the Fire Dragon 7Gen1, which adopts the Sansang process, will make a strong debut, and the A710 and A510, which also use some overturned energy consumption ratios in the entire core.

The energy consumption of the corresponding core architecture is overturned, plus the overturn of the process process.

This processor chip is almost the same as the small overclocking version of the Fire Dragon 778G in terms of overall performance, but it has really performed a wave of overturning in terms of power consumption.

After the green factory adopted this chip, no manufacturer in various mobile phone factories and stores dared to use this chip again.

After all, all manufacturers are smart people, knowing that this chip is not as good as the previous generation of Fire Dragon 778G+, and the price is so expensive, in the end, on top of the release of the product, they can only reuse the previous generation of Fire Dragon mid-range processors.

The two chips, 780G and 7Gen1, eventually became the exclusive chips of the original model, and of course, there is an inevitable relationship with the performance of these two chips.

As a result, the Fire Dragon 778g and Fire Dragon 870 can only be forced to serve for another year in such an environment.

The performance of the two cores of A710 and A510 is really not good, which also proves from the side that the current ARM is suspected of being bad.

However, this time, Yuzhen Semiconductor agreed to the current MediaTek, and naturally wanted to design the other party's processor chips at a deeper level.

In addition to replacing the mid-core and small-core cores with the cores of the previous generation, the frequency of the medium-core and small-core cores has also been further increased.

As for the X2 core of the super-large core, when the extreme performance is not released, this super-large core is basically in a low-frequency dormant state.

In the environment of light to moderate use, the core and small core still occupy the main operating position.

Under the leadership of Yuzhen Semiconductor, in less than half a month, MediaTek designed a new processor chip.

In terms of CPU, the frequency of the large core X2 was directly stabilized at the 3.2GHz level, but in the three A78 cores, it was directly increased to the 2.92GHz level under the requirements of Yuzhen Semiconductor.

The frequency of this mid-core can act as some chip big cores, after all, it is basically unheard of for the mid-core to reach 2.92GHz.

Of course, Yuzhen Semiconductor did this out of trust in TSMC's 4nm process.

After all, the current TSMC chip foundry business is basically at the top level in the world, and TSMC's foundry will give MediaTek's chips a natural advantage.

In addition, the four A55 cores are also controlled at 2.0GHz, and the four energy efficiency cores can ensure that the power consumption is directly reduced during light use.

In this GPU, we have conducted corresponding in-depth cooperation discussions with Yuzhen Conductor and MediaTek.

In the end, MediaTek exchanged 15% of the revenue of each chip as a benefit, and directly exchanged it for the GPU core of the H12 architecture currently used by Yuzhen Semiconductor.

Under the planning of Yuzhen Semiconductor, Dimensity supports 16-core H12 graphics processors in terms of GPU of processor chips.

In terms of GPU performance, compared with MediaTek's self-designed chips, it has the most direct and obvious performance.

At the same time, this chip also supports flash memory and memory chips of Feather's TFS1.5 and TPDDR1.5 protocols in terms of peripheral configuration.

And in terms of ISP core, it also adopts Yuzhen's patent, and uses the same ISP module as Yuzhen Semiconductor Tianxuan 700 processor chip.

Of course, this can be regarded as leaving a back door for the products of the jupai system.

After the design of the corresponding processor chip, MediaTek is quite satisfied with this new chip.

Yuzhen Semiconductor participated in the new line design this time, and according to the corresponding contract, 15% of the net profit obtained by this chip is reserved for Yuzhen Semiconductor.

Coupled with the corresponding GPU and ISP patent licensing fees, if this chip is sold, Yuzhen Semiconductor can get about 35% of the net profit of the chip.

At the same time, due to the cooperative relationship between the two, the first right to release the processor chip this time was also obtained by Zhou Zhen.

The chip will be officially sent to TSMC for corresponding tape-out production in early December.

It is estimated that the official mass production and shipment will start in February.

According to the agreement negotiated between the two, the exclusivity period of this chip before April next year is determined by Zhou Zhen.
