Chapter 238: This Dawning Technology is too insidious
After all, they only officially established the mobile phone mobile terminal department in June this year, and the birch PHS mobile phone that is being engaged in actually has no technology, just an OEM product, simply put, an assembly machine.
In this case, even if they have the determination to invest money in the research and development of their own core technology, this core technology cannot produce results immediately.
If you want to make your own mobile phone core technology and have your own core technology and selling points, it will take at least three or four years to barely produce results.
After all, Huawei Technology does not have a perverted R&D genius, they can't do so many core technologies in less than a year like Shuguang Technology, and they can't do the perverted R&D speed of Shuguang Technology.
At this time, if they really reached a cooperation with Sugon Technology on mutual licensing of technology patents, it would be equivalent to obtaining a ladder to the sky, even if they could not surpass Sugon Technology.
That is enough to beat the domestic Podao mobile phone, Jinli mobile phone, TLC mobile phone ......, and even fight with foreign mobile phone giants!
As for the communication technology patent authorization accumulated by Huawei Technology for more than 20 years, this thing is really valuable if it is valuable, but it is really worthless if it is not valuable.
After all, 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA and other technology patents account for no more than 7% of the world's patents.
Even if Sugon Technology obtains the patent authorization of these technologies, it will not become a climate, and it is still only a weak chicken in front of foreign communication giants.
As for the possibility that the two sides may become competitors in the future of 4G mobile communication technology, we will talk about the future in the future, and it is useless to dwell on these now.
"How do you want to exchange licenses?"
Yu Chengxi, who was excited, didn't wait for Ren Zhengfei and Meng Yazhou to speak, and asked Lin Chen directly.
Facing Yu Chengxi's straight words, Lin Chen paused slightly and then replied slowly:
"We are willing to take out the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture license and the semi-open source license of the Sugon mobile phone system to carry out mutual licensing of technical patents with your company."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, whether it was Ren Zhengfei or Meng Yazhou, including Yu Chengxi, all of them were slightly stunned, and then their faces were instantly happy.
First of all, Sugon Technology is willing to take out the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture authorization, which is the highest level of authorization for chip design.
At present, there are three main types of authorization in the global instruction set architecture, the first is instruction set architecture authorization, the second is kernel-level authorization, and the last is use-level authorization.
Among them, if Huawei Technology obtains the authorization of the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture, it can start from the Phoenix S1 architecture and instruction set to greatly transform the Phoenix S1 architecture.
The Phoenix S1 instruction set can even be scaled up or down to achieve higher performance, lower power consumption, or lower cost.
As for the next one, it is the kernel-level authorization, which is the most common authorization in the mobile phone industry.
Once you have a kernel-level license, you can use this core to combine it with other chips you design to form a chip with stronger functionality and comprehensive performance.
This kind of kernel licensing is also quite easy to develop, which is equivalent to building a house on the foundation built by others, which is quite fast.
But the disadvantage is that there is no way to get out of other people's cages, because the kernel is already fixed and you can't change it, which is equivalent to dancing in shackles.
Among them, Texas Instruments' OMAP1710 mobile phone processors have obtained kernel-level licenses, and they can use ARM926 cores but cannot change them, and the core performance will never stop there.
As for the last use-level license, it is simple, which is equivalent to directly licensing the complete chip to you, and you can directly go to the foundry to produce the chip with the license.
Therefore, at this time, Sugon Technology is willing to come up with instruction set architecture-level authorization, which is extraordinary.
It is equivalent to that they can directly add or delete the instruction set architecture on the basis of the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture, and make their own characteristic mobile phone chips, with their own characteristic selling points.
Moreover, with the authorization of the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture, it is not necessary to develop mobile phone chips in the future, but can actually apply the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture to the chip design of other devices, which is quite widely used.
However, at this time, Huawei Technology did not know that if the two sides cooperated, there would actually be an invisible hard requirement in the agreement.
This requirement is that they can only use it for their own use, and cannot sell mobile phone chips using the Phoenix S1 instruction set to other companies!
Otherwise, every mobile phone manufacturer can have a mobile phone chip with the Phoenix S1 instruction set, even if it is just a modified mobile phone chip.
But isn't Dawning Technology invisibly losing a big selling point of a mobile phone processor? So even if the agreement is really reached, only Birch Technology can be used for its own use and cannot be sold externally.
Of course, at this time, Ren Zhengfei and others are not only happy to obtain the authorization of the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture, but the semi-open source use right of the Shuguang mobile phone system is even more attractive.
First, it has the possibility of developing a characteristic birch for mobile phone chips, and then it can also obtain a semi-open source operating system.
This means that the mobile phones they produce will be able to use the Dawning mobile phone system, and directly have the huge game and software ecosystem on the Dawning mobile phone system, which directly saves a lot of energy.
Although they seem to have a Saiban system to choose from, they don't have to use the Dawning mobile phone system.
However, the Dawning mobile phone system is a very easy to use mobile phone system, and the response speed is very fast, which is a super easy to use system compared to the bloated Saiban system.
And the Dawning mobile phone system has 60% of the popular games on the major platforms is impossible for the Saiban system to have, with 60% of the popular games on the major platforms, it is naturally destined that the Dawning mobile phone system can survive in the global market.
Moreover, the current ecology and user circle of the Sugon mobile phone system are getting bigger and bigger, and it has tens of millions of users around the world, and tens of millions of users are just around the corner next year.
If they really obtained the semi-open source license of the Shuguang mobile phone system, and finally cooperated with the characteristic Huawei mobile phone chip, then they would be equivalent to soaring directly into the sky.
"It seems that we are going to make a lot of blood for science and technology."
In the face of Lin Chen's astonishing temptation, Ren Zhengfei said that he couldn't refuse at all.
After all, if they really obtained the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture authorization and the semi-open source use authorization of the Dawning mobile phone system, the strength would directly soar to the second only existence of Dawning Technology.
In this regard, Lin Chen said that Huawei Technology can laugh, but in fact, it is Shuguang Technology that should be laughed at.
Because Huawei Technology seems to be able to take a few detours, its strength has directly caught up with Podao mobile phones, Jinli mobile phones, and TLC mobile phones in a short period of time, and its strength is only under Shuguang mobile phones.
But in fact, they will never be able to break free from the cage of Dawning Technology, and they are subject to Dawning Technology, so they can only be vassals of Dawning Technology!
Because they are just authorized by the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture!
After that, Sugon Technology will definitely launch the next generation of Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture, what if they can't get the authorization of Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture?
Cold!
Past life 2019. Company M cut off the authorization of the .M v9 architecture of Birch Technology, which directly led to the fact that Birch Technology could only be trapped. M v8 architecture.
In the end, due to the fact that the technology and performance of Birch Technology could not be updated and improved in a timely manner, and then off-site factors were added, the Birch HiSilicon chip gradually disappeared from everyone.
Of course, if Birch Technology has its own mobile phone operating system, it can develop its own second-generation Birch S2 instruction set architecture based on the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture.
But do they have their own system?
No!
