The reason why the ARM architecture in the future can win 90% of the mobile phone market.

It is inseparable from IP authorization in the form of ARM casting a wide net.

Back in 1992, when TI Texas Instruments was preparing to build its own integrated DSP chip, it considered the ARM architecture. However, there was considerable resistance within Texas Instruments, and the cooperation was eventually canceled.

It was not until 1996 that ARM, which could not continue to operate, no longer pursued its own manufacturing, but instead licensed IP, and re-found Texas Instruments to cooperate, which ushered in the dawn of development.

With Texas Instruments developing a dedicated thumb instruction set for Nokia based exclusively on the ARM7 architecture, it was recognized by Nokia.

It began to shine in the mobile phone market, allowing ARM to enter the field of communications.

Later, it was opened to Sharp, Nintendo, Apple, Samsung and other companies, which also allowed Arm to enter more industries.

It once became the standard configuration of engineering chips.

Another interesting thing in this is that when Andy Rubin created Android, he just wanted to make a personalized customization device Sidekick based on the assisted driving system, which was used with Arm chips at that time.

Later, when Rubin gave a lecture to Silicon Valley engineers at Stanford University, he showed a sidekick that inspired Larry Page and Sergey Brin in the audience.

At that time, this kind of portable device with the function of a mobile phone had begun to take shape.

Page soon had the idea to develop a Google phone and a mobile operating system platform.

Then there is the legend of Google's acquisition of Android and dominating an era.

It can also be said that it is with the ARM architecture chip that the later era of smart phones has emerged.

Of course, even if there is no ARM architecture, there will be other architectures to replace its position in mobile phone chips.

It's just that the lack of low power consumption and low cost of ARM chips will slow down the development of the entire mobile phone industry a lot.

The market has been further expanded because of the liberalization of IP licensing of the ARM architecture, which has made the entire market more prosperous.

It is only then that there is a domestic copycat machine, and the supply chain and technology accumulation that have been cultivated.

What Chu Qing has been doing is to accelerate the arrival of the mobile phone era, so even if he acquires Arm, he will not hold it in his hands and enjoy it alone.

In order to expand the market, the release of IP licensing is not only beneficial to the market, but also beneficial to the development of ARM.

Of course, who the IP is authorized to, who not to give it, and how to authorize it are all in the hands of BBK itself.

It will also be up to backgammon to have the final say.

After all, today's ARM is already a Xiangjiang company, and after next year, it will be out of the control of the United Kingdom and truly make its own decisions.

However, in this way, it is unlikely that ARM will have no opponents in the previous life.

But if it really came to that time, Chu Qing would no longer have any fear.

That's why he insisted on going the IDM model.

When the time comes, I will really be stuck in the neck, and I don't know who is uncomfortable.

"Do you really want to outsource the architecture?"

At the reception luncheon after the ribbon-cutting, this was the third time Huang asked.

Regarding Chu Qing's decision, let alone the outside world, even those of them who know Chu Qing very well still feel incredible.

Licensing the infrastructure of mobile phones, this is a bold decision to make.

Just ask Sun Yansheng, who also has an image architecture on the side, and you will know that they try to make these top secrets of the company, and when they cooperate with foreign countries, they basically never open up the infrastructure.

But BBK will actually use such a one, which is destined to change the core architecture of the mobile phone pattern chip, and directly authorize it.

It's like a proud aristocratic princess who opens the door in the attic to welcome guests before she gets married.

How could this not surprise them!

"Any technology is really good if someone uses it. If you only treat it as a forbidden belly and keep it in the deep palace, what you are waiting for in the end is just a dry bone. ”

He has seen too many examples of self-appreciating technology, and Chu Qing naturally doesn't care about the gains and losses in front of him.

Without an open Internet, there would be no infinite Internet in the future.

If it weren't for Carmack releasing the source code of the 3D gunplay game, there would not have been the fps game that flourished later.

If Android didn't choose open source, but was as disadvantageous as Apple, where would there be such a cheap smart device as it is now.

The technology that is not recognized by the market, no matter how good it is, is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

"The truth is this truth, but I am reluctant to take it out so easily."

Although Huang Jenxun knew that what Chu Qing said made sense, he still couldn't let go.

"One day, you will too."

Thinking of the future generations of NVIDIA open source GPU core drivers, the whole network is brushing up the grand occasion that has been seen for a long time, and the corners of my mouth can't help but turn up.

"Let me be as crazy as you are, don't even think about it!"

Huang Jenxun subconsciously shook his head, trying to shake Chu Qing's words out of his head.

replied categorically.

Huang doesn't believe he'll ever be as crazy as he is, and unless he doesn't want to do it, he won't open source his technology.

"Really? If open source could give you more benefits, wouldn't you want to? ”

"Even! Oh my God, you're a demon! ”

"Hahaha!"

With that, Huang himself laughed.

For a moment, he was really almost moved by Chu Qing.

The market share brought by open source, don't say that they don't know.

But with the little money earned by licensing, where is the ease of monopoly.

There is no company that does not want to monopolize an industry.

"Hahaha! You're right, every idealist is a real-life madman. If you don't go crazy, how can you change the world. ”

Lao Ren on the side, after laughing, looked at Chu Qing with more appreciative eyes.

He knew what Chu Qing was doing this for, even if he understood Chu Qing's ideals and the efforts he made for them.

But I still have to sigh at his madness.

"Yes! If you don't go crazy, how can you change the world! ”

This is the second time Chu Qing has heard this say today.

Perhaps in the eyes of Warren Buffett and Lao Ren, sometimes, it is this madness that makes them stand on the top of success.

"Okay, crazy man, tell me what you're going to do next to change the world."

Sun Yansheng, who had already been infected by Chu Qing's crazy actions today, finally asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

What exactly does BBK want to do next?

To make such a big battle, if it is only for the sake of what is in front of you, it is definitely not Chu Qing's style.

As long as you know the history of the development of backgammon, you know.

What Chu Qing is best at is not scientific and technological research and development, nor product manufacturing.

It's marketing!

made such a big move, if there was no follow-up action, it must not be Chu Qing.

He will never let any opportunity to market.

So when Sun Yansheng's words came out, several people present looked at Chu Qing in unison.

Waiting for his reveal.

"The next step, of course, is to go home and sleep!"

However, Chu Qing did not answer everyone's questions this time.

threw out a plausible answer, and deliberately hit a big Hatche.

"I won't accompany you, I was really tired from a long talk last night, so I will withdraw first."

After drinking the glass of wine in one gulp, he really left the venue without looking back, as if he really wanted to go back to catch up on sleep.
