100,000 units of Stardust 2 limited edition, of which 20,000 units will also participate in blind booking activities, which in itself is a kind of screening of target users, because the vast majority of ordinary people will seek stability, and they dare not take money to gamble.

3999 doesn't seem to be much, but it is actually equivalent to 2~3 months' salary for many people, not to mention taking the blind booking on the Stardust official website and Stardust Mall, even if it is used to change mobile phones, they are likely to be reluctant.

Therefore, the 20,000 Stardust 2 limited edition itself is for slightly wealthier consumers, and the remaining 80,000 units are more suitable for the public's free choice, but because the total amount is relatively small, the hype effect is stronger.

After the year, consumers who can't buy the Stardust 2 limited edition will most likely wait another half a year to consider Stardust 3, because even people who don't know about digital products know that 3G is coming out, and it's right to buy a 3G mobile phone.

Most people don't know what 3G is, but it's definitely stronger than 2G, and the current situation is: some people who buy 2G mobile phones regret that they didn't take the same amount of money to buy a Stardust tablet with a larger screen.

Some people who buy Stardust tablets are also regretting that they should buy Stardust 2, which is more convenient and can also make calls.

If you don't have a bad money, you just bought both, and you won't care about regrets or not.

In short, in the Stardust community, the Stardust 2 Limited Edition is a thing that deserves to be cheered by many people, many people don't buy it, but they like to watch it.

Especially as soon as the blind booking activity came out, they were paying attention to how many pioneers bought it every day, and the fact was as Chen Zifan expected, the blind booking of only 20,000 units was all booked in less than a day.

Later, the Stardust Marketing Department also released the last announcement of the Stardust 2 limited edition: "The Stardust 2 limited edition will be on the shelves on February 26 after the Spring Festival..."

The announcement is full of various messages:

"Isn't it? It's just New Year's Day, and I'll have to wait more than a month to get it!"

"Shouldn't it be listed before the Spring Festival and grab some markets? Why put it after the Chinese New Year?"

"Upstairs doesn't seem to be like Sa? As soon as the front foot is determined, the back foot will give you the finished product? And there are only 100,000 limited editions in total, what kind of market are you grabbing?"

"It is enough to occupy the market with a reduced price of Stardust 1 and the regular version of Stardust 2, these two are the bulk of shipments, and the limited edition is just the icing on the cake!"

"After the Spring Festival, after the Spring Festival, I'm not in a hurry anyway, I bought it for collection, and I don't need it, and when I put it out for 10 years and sell it, maybe I can make a profit!"

"You think too much about this, and in 10 years, I don't know what the mobile phone will become, and who will buy this antique?"

"Did you buy a phone from 10 years ago?"

"I don't buy it."

"Isn't that enough?"

「……」

Users who participate in the blind booking activity will receive the express delivery from Stardust Technology in advance before February 25, and Stardust Express will be responsible for the delivery.

It's also very strange to say, Stardust Express couriers have encountered too many similar refusals, and some users obviously buy things that are not cheap, but they just don't accept them, and they don't even refund the money after automatic rejection...

They didn't even make phone calls, and they didn't know what they were buying for at the time, but it was certain that the rejected items would be put back on the shelves for sale.

The early development of Stardust Express was not smooth, but now it has figured out what the general situation of the express delivery industry is, and the efficiency that should be there has been improved, and it has also formed its own set of management systems.

During the New Year's Day holiday, Chen Zifan didn't do any special entertainment activities, but slept well for two days, and the company's affairs were handed over to Zhao Wuxian and Wang Jinli and others, and no one paid much attention to where he went if he didn't show up.

After all, the chairman ~ There must be a reason to be in the company in the company, and if you are not there, you will go out and be busy.

What Chen Zifan didn't expect was that he actually received a gift on New Year's Day, a purple clay pot, there are not many people who know him in this residence, only some core employees know, open it and take a look...

It was actually sent by An He?

Chen Zifanjue

It's a little inexplicable, and you can't give gifts to your liking? Does he look very old? Will it be someone who likes to drink tea in a purple clay pot?

However, he didn't think much about it, he just put the purple clay pot on the shelf and continued to sleep, and after replenishing his sleep, he returned to the Stardust Technology headquarters again.

There is another very important thing before the Spring Festival, that is, the start-up test of the Changhe chip production line.

After the commissioning of all the equipment of the Changhe project team is completed, the date has been selected to prepare for the start-up measurement, which is also interesting, obviously a group of scientific researchers, but they will also be superstitious in metaphysics at this time.

Not only did he choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, but he also burned incense and worshiped Buddha, but also bought a bunch of fireworks and firecrackers to be put in Stardust Square on the day of the start-up measurement.

Seeing that Chen Zifan was speechless for a while, is this because he is afraid that others will not know that Stardust Technology is engaged in a chip production line? But what you should know is actually known for a long time, everyone is laughing on the surface haha, and is engaged in research and development behind the scenes.

Stardust Technology is developing so fast, it is strange that it doesn't want to do anything to chips, how can a fast-growing technology company allow the core lifeblood of its products to be controlled by others? Restricted at every turn?

Besides, there are more chips in the world now, and Stardust Technology is not bad.

Although Chen Zifan has never had the slightest fear of ghosts and gods, he believes in himself more than asking God to worship Buddha and engage in superstition, even if some bizarre things happen to him, he will slowly find a way to figure it out.

But he also doesn't stop the R&D people from acting, everyone has something to believe in themselves.

The chip R&D personnel of the Changhe project team are just seeking peace of mind in the traditional way.

On the morning of January 15th, Stardust Square was rarely lively, and the people who ate melons for unknown reasons went out to watch a wave, not understanding what technology was doing:

"What kind of cannon in the morning!"

"Did anything happy happen? Is the chairman of Stardust Technology married? It doesn't look like it!"

"What are you kidding? This is not the case with Chairman Chen's marriage, and I suspect that they may have made a breakthrough in one of their projects to celebrate."

"It's not normal, Stardust Technology is engaged in research and development every day, and there is no such movement in normal times, I will go to the Internet to take a look, there should be someone in the Stardust community."

"No one said, wait."

"Scattered, scattered..."

「……」

They just had a good time, and it didn't take long for them to go back to their own business, which is the case in China, and setting off firecrackers may disturb some people, but no one will really hate this traditional way of celebrating.

Chen Zifan and some high-level executives have gathered in the area of the Changhe project team, and they are watching the operation of the R&D personnel through a thick layer of explosion-proof glass.

I have to say that the Changhe chip production line is really completely different from the chip production line they have seen in various channels, first of all, the area is much smaller, only about half of the traditional chip production line.

Although the output is not as large as the chip production lines of other manufacturers, the daily output of 300,000 chips is enough to cope with the current situation.

The chip production line is the same as the steelmaking furnace, as long as it is turned on without special circumstances, it will not stop, so whether it can succeed or not is a chance.

If it fails, I don't know how many days I have to wait to re-start the test, about the raw materials of Changhe chips, the official side has set up a special wafer processing factory, although this factory is an empty shell...

But it doesn't matter, Chen Zifan won't investigate where these wafers came from, where the remaining raw materials came from, it doesn't matter if those factories are empty shells, just wait for the follow-up to slowly fill in the things that should be there.

The chip that participated in the start-up test for the first time was not Changhe 3, but a basic chip, a stitched chip born from Stardust 1, which is the most suitable for testing the production line of equipment, and there is no need to worry about redundant problems.

As long as this basic chip can be produced, the production of Changhe 3 is not a big problem, the two have the same root and origin, and the only thing that may lead to failure is that

There is a problem with the design of the Changhe 3 chip, and this probability is also very small.

With the completion of various work tests, the Changhe chip production line has also begun to enter the start-up state:

"Current Stability... Normal..."

"Voltage... Normal..."

"Location... Normal..."

"Angle... Normal..."

「……」

The whole process is slow and slow, and it is very fast, a production line can produce 300,000 chips per day, how can the progress be slow? From wafer coating→ lithography development, etching→ doping with impurities...

All the way to the package... The first basic chips were processed, but it was too early to rejoice, as various tests and rejections of defective products had to be carried out before the final packaging could be carried out, of course, the packaging could be omitted.

This batch of basic chips will not be sold to the outside world, and there is no need to do packaging, as long as the test is passed, and the proportion of defective products is calculated.

Chen Zifan and others waited for five hours in a row, and when Zhao Wuxian was almost unable to hold back, a R&D staff finally rushed over with a pile of materials:

"It worked! Tested... The base chip is exactly what we expected! The proportion of defective products is also very low, only about 5%!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and what followed was endless joy, after enduring so many days, Stardust Technology finally had a chip production line and could design its own chips!

"Great! Now our 4G chip is stable! I'll just say~ 3G patents are not in our hands, what kind of 3G, we should do 4G!"

"Don't worry about the postponement of Stardust 3+! You can notify the local operator to speed up the construction of 4G base stations! We must make Haicheng a 4G city!"

"The Xinghai Service Station project is also going to be fully launched! Start building our own 4G server! Use it with the official server!"

"Don't worry! Changhe 3 hasn't been produced yet! After a few more rounds of testing, after confirming that there is no problem, we will conduct the actual test of Changhe 3! If there is a tape-out failure, it will be redesigned immediately, and there will be no time!"

"Understood!"

"Rest assured, the basic chips have been produced, and Changhe 3 also uses the architecture of the basic chips, so naturally there is no problem! Start testing as soon as possible!"

"The sales volume of Stardust 3+ is expected to be... 10 million units, with less than 6 months to go, we have to speed up production and start stockpiling as soon as possible!"

"It's wrong, it's to speed up while ensuring quality control! Make sure there are no problems with the product!"

"Yes..."

「……」

Chen Zifan didn't have much reaction to this, the more difficult technology [Stardust Technology] is available, and a 40-process chip production line may be similar to the basic production line, what's so difficult?

Of course, this is because he has the [Stardust Technology] in his consciousness, so he can be so unreasonable, he is still very clear about his cognition, knows what benefits he has gained, and knows what to do.

At the same time, Chen Zifan is also very emotional, it is this small thing that has plagued for decades, and it has also made powerful domestic manufacturers suffer...

But now all this no longer exists, from 0→1 is the most difficult, from 1 to the future development is much easier, and the Changhe chip production line is still [Stardust Technology] specially transformed, the foundation is very solid.

Even if Changhe 3 is a tri-core chip, there will be no difficulty in producing, it is possible that everyone thinks that the tri-core is a sword, and the R&D personnel of the Changhe project team still believe that the tri-core is the most suitable.

Xinghan Automobile Factory, Mo Shaokun is still working hard to carry out various tests on Xinghan, and debug to the best state, after learning that the Changhe chip production line started, he found Chen Zifan for the first time to express his joy.

Is Changhe 3 a triple-core chip?

So what?

"Tri-core? Any questions? If there is a single core and two cores, there must be three cores! Just like the engine, there are single-cylinder, double-cylinder, three-cylinder... Don't look at the car's three-cylinder engine, but do you know one thing?"

"What?"

"In the motorcycle world, only some high-end models can match a three-cylinder engine! What twin-cylinder, four-cylinder... We all have to step aside!"

Chen Zifan knew that this was Mo Shaokun using his own way to make him relax, don't think so much.

Changhe 3 is responsible for the Changhe chip project team, and the first batch of Changhe 3 was born soon, and after a series of tests, the final packaging was completed, and ten of them were specially sent to Chen Zifan's hands.

"It doesn't look like some of the chips that came after... At first glance, who knew it was a 40 process chip? But the performance of this chip is not bad, and it can run close to 50,000 points in the state of large single core..."

Geek running score is just a simple data, and it can't be used to measure whether a chip is easy to use, which chip does not have a high running score of Snapdragon 888 or Snapdragon 8ge1? But in practice, each one is warmer than the other.

However, the data from the geek score can also reflect the current level of Changhe 3, close to 50,000 points in the limit state is already 3 times that of Dimensity 200 and 2 times that of Dimensity 300, and the performance level is very exaggerated.

Even in the conventional three-core state, the running score data of Changhe 3 is around 30,000 points, which is 2 times higher than the Dimensity 200 of Stardust 2, and the performance status can be switched at any time according to the needs of different scenarios.
