The gamepad is small, the Changhe chip is big, and Xinghai Driving School is responsible for Li Yuan and Mo Shaokun, so Chen Zifan only needs to solve the chip production line of the Changhe project team first and start the actual measurement.

The Changhe project team is located on the far left side of the core area of the Stardust Factory, and when Chen Zifan entered, a large number of people had gathered, all of whom were debugging equipment, and some relatively simple equipment had already been built.

The more complex ones are still in the innermost dust-free workshop, which has a variety of advanced production equipment, and the parts that cannot be produced can be handed over to other places for manufacturing, and a lot of strength has been gathered for the chip.

The official help is also spared, as long as Chen Zifan has a request, he will immediately arrange the best to do, and what parts will be produced in his life to send a special plane to Haicheng immediately, just waiting for them to start the actual test.

Chen Zifan's streamlined + magically modified chip production line process through [Analysis Copycat] and [Synthetic Creation] is 40N, which seems to be much stronger than the 65N process of Dimensity 200, but it is not.

In the development process of the chip manufacturing process, even if it is developed to the 22n stage, there are still many manufacturers in the world who can easily achieve it, and there is still room for breakthroughs.

It wasn't until 14N that it was a watershed, Chen Zifan remembered that it was 15 years, and many manufacturers led by UMC fell, but the most impressive thing for him was 17 years.

Intel, which once stood alone in the world, fell at 10n years, thinking back then, Samsung and TSMC could only follow Intel's ass and eat ashes, and they couldn't catch up.

In the 7N process, almost only Samsung and TSMC are still competing, but Samsung's 14N yield rate is not as good as TSMC, 10N energy efficiency is not as good as TSMC, and 7N process is not as good as TSMC...

Samsung's process has been criticized, and even Qualcomm has to give up this partner and switch to TSMC, and finally TSMC has become the only foundry capable of mass production of 5n chips.

Therefore, the 40N process of the Changhe chip project is nothing at all in Chen Zifan's opinion, and he will not relax his vigilance for a moment before reaching the 3N process, why does he not continue to reach 3N?

Isn't it said that chips that can theoretically reach 1n range? The R&D cost is [synthetic creation] w w w.. com, Chen Zifan is not afraid at all, he only thinks about one point:

The 3N range chip is already very extreme, so why bother smashing silicon-based chips again? It is completely possible to change the direction towards carbon-based chips, organic chips, optical quantum chips... and other directions, this is the future.

For example, the average thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine is only 35% after 15 years, while the average efficiency of the electric motor can reach 87%, and the advanced motor can exceed 90%...

Of course, this is only one aspect, efficiency does not represent everything, some high-end internal combustion engine metamorphosis of the process level everyone will be amazed when they see it, the motor has just started, and the future development journey is still long.

Although the 40N chip process is far from enough in Chen Zifan's opinion, it is already an advanced chip process in this year, and their production line is different from the general one, which is streamlined and transformed.

Let's not talk about anything else, at least in terms of foundation, the Changhe chip production line can completely blow up all the equipment that Chen Zifan saw at the high-precision technology exhibition.

But he has never seen the chip production lines of other manufacturers, and he does not dare to guarantee that the chip production lines led by Intel are not as good as his, and it depends on the final product. ….

Looking at the technicians of the Changhe project team debugging the equipment, Chen Zifan rarely opened [Stardust Technology] in his consciousness and checked the employee column:

[Employees: 23,691]

(1,136 temporary employees, 13,284 ordinary employees, 7,672 senior employees, 1,599 Stardust employees...) ）

The number of employees of Stardust Technology has exceeded 20,000, but in fact, there are only about 10,000 employees in Haicheng, and the rest are employees of Stardust branches in various places.

At present, the construction progress of the Stardust branch is very fast, plus the Stardust Express... The influence is getting bigger and bigger, but it is limited to the influence of the product, and it does not have the status of Stardust Technology headquarters in Haicheng.

The salaries of branch employees are also relative

It's worse, but it's better than most companies, and the same position Stardust Technology can give is never bad.

From the [Stardust Technology] in the consciousness, it can be seen that the Stardust Technology Branch is showing a state of dots and dots distributed on the map of China, and it is still very loose, and some cities have not yet developed, and it is not suitable for building branches.

Just when Chen Zifan was immersed in his consciousness [Stardust Technology] w w w.. com, an employee called him a few times:

"Chen Dong... Chen Dong?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Over there... The team leader asked me to send a message, and I want to discuss with you about the Changhe 3 chip..."

"I see."

There are a total of 26 technicians and official chip researchers of Stardust Technology, and they are all core members of the Changhe chip project team.

Chen Zifan entered a temporary conference room where they gathered, and more than 20 pairs of eyes suddenly looked at him in unison, and he was a little speechless in his heart, is there anything that can't be sent to a representative? Can you use them all?

Then he saw the white curtain in the middle of the conference room light up, which was the draft design of Changhe 3.

"We studied the existing chip production equipment drawings and designed the Changhe 3 chip solution according to the 40N process technology, and finally agreed that the triple-core chip is the best way..."

Chen Zifan: ......

Three... Tri-core?

Last time he said that cutting off one of the cores of the Dimensity 300 was just an analogy, now what's going on?

He's seen single-core, dual-core, quad-core, eight-core, ten-core... I haven't seen a triple-core chip yet, and in my memory, AMD seems to have a triple-core processor next year, and that's also because it shielded one of the cores.

This is originally a sword-oriented style of play, compared to people's more 1-2-4-8-16 development model, the tri-core chip is indeed likely to achieve unexpected results in a special period, but now...

Come up and use it as a tri-core basis?

These R&D personnel may also understand what Chen Zifan is thinking, and directly showed a wave of Changhe chip production lines and the concept map of Changhe 3, and confidently said:

"The Changhe chip production line is different from any production line we have seen before, it is too special, and some of the designs in it completely subvert our cognition, so the chip design cannot be conventional.

After our theoretical simulation, the most suitable chip production line is a multiple of 3 chips, take Changhe 3 as an example, its three core frequencies are the same, the size is the same, but it has one feature:

When the frequency needs to be increased, any two of the three cores can be connected to form two cores, one large and one small, and three cores when not needed, and the three cores will be superimposed in special cases. ….

Finally, a super-large core is formed, which can increase the chip frequency of Changhe 3 to more than 5 times the daily level in a short period of time, which is very exaggerated! If it can be produced, it will be a completely new direction..."

Chen Zifan: ???

For the first time, he felt a little out of track, what do you mean? Three cores become two cores at any time? Two cores become larger at any time, single core? Is it really possible to achieve such a sensitive switching during actual use? What to do if the core plays dead?

"We don't have time for trial and error, only one chance, if the tape-out fails and Changhe 3 fails to meet the requirements, then the product line of Stardust 3+ will be temporarily cut, I hope you can understand what the price is."

Even if it fails, Chen Zifan will not blame these R&D personnel, it is normal for the chip to fail to design, but if Stardust 3+ is cut... Next year's Stardust conference will have one less of the most important characters.

It can be made up for later, but it certainly won't be the shocking scene when many new products are released together.

The 26 R&D staff also understood what Chen Zifan meant, and instead of flinching, they were very firm in their opinions: "This is the result of our unanimous approval, and we believe that it will be fine!"

"Okay, let's do what you want."

After leaving the Changhe project team, Chen Zifan's heart was also bottomless.

Now he can only choose to believe in the Changhe chip production line after [Analysis Copycat] and [Synthesis Creation], as well as these domestic chip R&D personnel.

He doesn't care, if he fails, then delay the release time of Stardust 3+, but then there will be some regrets, it will be a pity that it has been prepared for so long...

But how can there be no regrets in life?

No matter what the result is, Chen Zifan will definitely bring the most shocking press conference of this era at Xinghai Stadium in China, as well as more "future" products!

Back at the headquarters of Stardust Technology, he received a report submitted by Zhao Wuxian, which included various financial statements, sales data, and hot disputes, as well as some specific situations in the Stardust community:

In the Stardust community, the two most popular columns are: Xinghan NI and Stardust 2 Limited Edition.

The discussion about Xinghan NI is nothing more than more breaking photos, when will it be listed, how is the driving feeling, and can new energy vehicles work?

In terms of appearance alone, Xinghan ni is really attractive, at first glance, I don't think it's anything, but the more I see it, the more I like it, the more I look at it, the more I like it, the appearance is high, the interior is exquisite, and the configuration is also very rich, even if it's a tram?

Can't go and see it when you come out?

If you don't like it, don't you just buy it?

Xinghan ni belongs to the kind of thing that is a little amazing at first glance, and I feel disdainful: Isn't it just the music of the old man? What's so good? But after looking at it for a long time, there is only one thought: go to TM! Labor and management like old man music!

Unless it is forced by realistic conditions, few people can refuse such a big toy.

Some trams < oil cars, and no matter how much they are beaten by oil trucks, they can't stop people's love for Xinghan ni, which is too appetite for young people.

Not to mention female users, they don't know about cars in the first place, they only know that Xinghan ni is so cute that it explodes, and even middle-aged aunts are full of girlish hearts when they see it, and many people who have never driven a car actually took the initiative to ask for a driver's license. ….

But their husbands were shocked, and they were also afraid, in case their daughter-in-law learned to drive her own car every day, and then something happened...

In fact, both men and women have road killers, some people are not naturally suitable for driving, and they are also put to eat dust after learning their driver's license, and some people are obviously not suitable for hard driving, and there is no sense of safety, who can blame if there is an accident?

Fortunately, it's about to enter winter.,Many people's enthusiasm for learning to drive has just dropped.,I'm going to wait for the spring of next year.,Besides, Xinghan ni hasn't been listed yet.。

It's just that Chen Zifan didn't expect Xinghan Ni's influence to suddenly become so big, obviously he was still scolded two months ago, and now it is reversing so quickly?

Sure enough, appearance is the biggest killer.

The second is the Stardust 2 Limited Edition...

Chen Zifan is not ready to give Stardust 2 a cap at all, Stardust 3 is a 3G mobile phone, Stardust 3+ is a 4G mobile phone, there are these two models, people who bought a limited edition of Stardust 2 are afraid that they will suffer a lot next year.

But the call of the Stardust community is so high, he is also thinking about whether he really has to prepare a limited edition?

Since Stardust users "all" want it so much, he has to make sure if it's true, so he arranged for the Stardust Marketing Department to release the news first with a breaking news account:

"At next year's Stardust 3 press conference, Stardust Technology has prepared a blockbuster new product with a higher positioning!"

Higher Positioning = Stronger Configuration = Expensive!

Anyway, it's a breaking news, 99% of it is true, and the remaining 1% is really bumped into even if it is fake, and most users won't say anything after learning the specific situation.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zifan asked the Stardust Marketing Department to issue an announcement with the official account of Stardust Technology:

"Stardust 2 Limited Edition? Please choose ↓

Be? No (0/1000000)"

At present, the total number of Stardust users in Huaxia is only more than 20 million, and the daily active users are less than a quarter, about 6 million, and it is almost impossible to make up for one million.

Chen Zifan still didn't want to make a limited edition of Stardust 2, so he deliberately made such a difficulty

He knows that the fiercest people on the Internet may not necessarily represent the mainstream group, so he is not worried at all.

Isn't this possible, six million users, on average, one out of every six want Stardust 2 limited edition?

What he didn't expect was that the news of the official account of Stardust Technology directly aroused the rebellious psychology of netizens, and they left messages under the announcement:

"Look down on us? What is this long list of 0s for? It's quite bluffing, brothers!"

"Dot?! Give me some?!"

"What bells and whistles is Stardust Tech playing? Is it hyping up marketing again? No way! Can a person only click once? That's enough!"

"Stardust 1 sold 20 million units! A million is a ball! If it's a brother, just order?!"

"Forwarded to the buckle group!"

「……」

Looking at this movement, Chen Zifan was really startled, but after two hours, the number below the announcement became (13691/1000000), just more than 10,000 people, the thunder and rain are small~

Chen Zifan was finally relieved, and at the same time, he was also interested, and he was about to vomit when he was engaged in engineering projects every day, so he took this opportunity to relax:

"Hehe, what about rebellion? Do you really think you can get together enough for a million user points?? Even if you've got enough, there's blind booking next! Aren't they all limited editions? I'll post it when the number of blind subscribers is enough..."
