Chapter 181: If You Don't Go Crazy, You Can't Become a Buddha!

Therefore, at this time, the senior executives of Shuguang Technology on the scene were angry with Moto Luola, Nojia, Sanyi, and Suo Ni Ailixin, and the object of anger at this time was another Texas Instruments Company!

"Is this really the case, this really shows the ugly face of capitalism, and sure enough, the localization of chips is necessary."

At this time, it was Ni Guangnan who spoke.

Previously, he had been calling on Daxia to develop his own chips in the media or in the Xia Academy of Sciences, and at this time, through the face of Texas Instruments, he silently affirmed that his words were correct.

At this time, Rebus, who was on the side, also looked at Ni Guangnan with a look of hope and asked;

"Academician Ni, to what extent has our mobile phone chip been developed? Although it was claimed that it would be able to catch up with and surpass the latest OMAP1710 mobile phone chips of Texas Instruments, what is the real result?

Can our Sugon mobile phone chip really replace the mobile phone chip of Dezhou Instruments?

I don't expect to be able to replace OMAP1710 mobile phone chips, as long as I can replace the OMAP710 mobile phone chips used in our Dawning F1 and Dawning A1 plus mobile phones. ”

Rebus, who was disgusted by those companies in Medico, just wanted to know how far the Sugon mobile phone chip had progressed at the moment.

I want to know if the Sugon mobile phone chip can replace the chip of Dezhou Instruments, let Dezhou Instruments roll aside, and regret the unreasonable coercion he proposed.

"There is no need to worry about the performance of mobile phone chips, the theoretical performance is to catch up with and surpass OMAP1710 mobile phone chips, and at least it can replace OMAP710 mobile phone chips.

Of course, the real result needs to be known only after the actual result, after all, the chip frequency may need to be reduced due to heat dissipation factors, and then additional factors such as huge performance attenuation.

As for when it will land? Under the overtime design of Lin Chen and me, the research and development of Sugon's mobile phone chip is progressing quite smoothly.

If it can pass the first attempt, it is expected that the supercomputer software verification test will be completed in about 10 days, and then the tape-out verification will start in mid-May......"

Speaking of this, Ni Guangnan had a hint of hesitation in his eyes, because the completion of the chip supercomputing verification test does not mean that the actual development of the chip is successful.

There will definitely be some deviations between computer simulation and real chip production, and the fact that there is no problem with supercomputer simulation does not mean that there is no problem with real tape-out production.

After all, according to the conventional situation in the chip design industry, it generally takes several reciprocating times for a chip to be completed from the completion of the design to the tape-out test.

Although it does exist theoretically from the completion of the chip design to the tape-out, no manufacturer can actually do this.

Generally, the best chip design team's best score is controlled by about two tape-outs.

Therefore, after the failure of tape-out, plus the time to modify the chip error and tape out the chip again, theoretically speaking, the real birth time of Sugon Technology's mobile phone chip should be waited until the end of June and July.

Of course, if everything goes well and you can pass the tape-out test in one go without redesigning the secondary tape-out, then you may be able to land around the end of May at the earliest!

Of course, the premise is that Sugon Technology must add money when looking for a chip foundry to tape out, otherwise according to the usual situation.

After the chip design is completed, the whole process takes about two to three months to tape-out.

If Sugon Technology is willing to spend several times the tape-out funds to the chip foundry when tape-out, then the chip foundry will definitely speed up its actions and reduce the original task of two or three months to more than ten days.

So theoretically, if everything goes well, the Sugon mobile phone chip can be landed at the end of May at the earliest.

"Will it really land in June or July? That's a problem. ”

learned from Ni Guangnan that the specific landing time of the Shuguang mobile phone chip, Rebus was really disappointed in his heart.

After all, as long as they think of the result that they were forced to accept a price increase of 35 yuan and were powerless to resist, how could Rebus's mood be better?

The price increase of 35 yuan per chip does not seem to be much, but if you do a closer calculation, you will find that this is a very large amount of money.

After all, according to the monthly sales volume of 1.22 million of Sugon Technology, Sugon Technology will be forced to reduce its profit by 42.7 million yuan per month.

The monthly reduction of 42.7 million yuan in income was taken away by Texas Instruments, so in the face of this situation, how can Rebus not be angry and helpless?

After all, in the absence of its own mobile phone chips, even if Dezhou Instruments makes a shameless act of raising the price by 35 yuan, Shuguang Technology must accept it in order to survive.

However, when there was silence at the scene, Lin Chen at this time suddenly spoke:

"Time is running out, we have to land our Sugon mobile phone chip before the end of May, and release our new mobile phone on June 15!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone at the scene looked at Lin Chen with a stunned expression, their eyes full of astonishment.

After all, although Ni Guangnan said just now that if everything goes well theoretically, if there is no need for the second tape-out, it will be able to land at the end of May, but that is when the tape-out can be successfully carried out in one piece.

They are just a chip design team that has just been established for a short time, how can it be possible to successfully tape out without any problems at one time.

After all, what they want to develop is a Dawning mobile phone chip with slightly stronger performance than Texas Instruments' latest OMAP1710 mobile phone processor.

The development difficulty of this high-end mobile phone chip is said to be several times that of the development of low-end mobile phone chips, and the hope of success in this case is really slim.

Moreover, the tape-out time of the chip is also a big problem, and it also takes time for the tape-out of the chip foundry.

There are more than 1,000 procedures in the whole process of a chip from raw material preparation, lithography, doping, electroplating, packaging and testing.

Even if a foundry that is very proficient in chip production wants to get the chip drawings and produce it, it must prepare at least 15 to 20 days for chip tape-out.

Therefore, the design time left for Sugon Technology is not more than 15 days!

In this case, Lin Chen at this time claimed that he wanted to let the mobile phone chip land before the end of May, how is this possible?

Even if people can tape out in the factory, can you keep up with the design progress of the mobile phone chip?

But in the face of Lin Chen's firm and unregressive eyes, people who knew Lin Chen's temperament could only sigh, knowing that Lin Chen's mind had been decided.

At this time, Ni Guangnan shook his head slightly and said helplessly:

"Looks like I'm going to have to work hard for a while."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene smiled, but their hearts also became solemn.

They don't understand how to design and land the mobile phone chip, but since Lin Chen has made the decision to complete the mobile phone chip at the end of May and then release the new mobile phone on June 15, then they will fully cooperate with the assistance.

Therefore, whether it is Rebus, Chen Dong, Huang Hua, or sales directors Li Tianqiang and Ni Guangnan, they all have passionate fighting spirit in their eyes at this time.
