Chapter 274: Super God's ARM v7 Architecture!

And if the Xia Academy of Sciences is really willing to let a few Daxia academicians join in the research and development of lithography machines, then Lin Chen may be able to help them solve the research and development problems of mobile phone screens and mobile phone lenses with the identity of the gold owner.

Of course, even if they are unwilling to help, in solving the problem of lithography machine, Sugon Technology can also obtain many tangible and intangible technology patent accumulation.

Because the lithography machine is called the crown jewel of the semiconductor industry, it is the pinnacle of technology in various industries, and the manufacture of a lithography machine requires tens of thousands of precision parts.

If the lithography machine is really solved, the technology patents that were born to solve the problem may be applied to other things.

For example, if you want to solve the problem of lithography machine lenses, then you need to require the glass to have ultra-clear light transmission, high temperature resistance, deformation resistance and other characteristics.

Moreover, the manufacture of qualified glass does not mean the end, after which the glass needs to be roughed, and then polished and ultra-precision polished to form a concave and convex shape that meets the design requirements, and finally coated on the glass and so on.

In the process of solving the lithography machine lens, Dawning Technology naturally obtained high-definition glass, and also obtained the technology of ultra-precision processing and polishing of glass!

Therefore, even if they are unwilling to help Sugon Technology in things other than lithography machines, Sugon Technology will also obtain many technical patent accumulation in this research and development process.

Therefore, the lithography machine is a big project, if Sugon Technology really solves the lithography machine problem.

Then the accompanying material technology, precision machining technology and other technologies will also achieve great breakthroughs and accumulation.

However, the future can only be known in the future after all, and then Lin Chen took a plane back to Tianjin.

After all, the cooperation with the Xia Academy of Sciences to develop lithography machines is not something that can be implemented in a while.

In this case, Lin Chen's task is naturally to focus on the research and development of mobile phone screens and mobile phone lenses.

……

Time flies by.

In the following time, with the passage of time, the news of rice mobile phones gradually calmed down, and even the news of the global mobile phone industry also calmed down.

However, when the time came to January 11, 2004, a few days later, Nokia entered into a . Company M held a joint press conference.

In this press conference, Nokia and . Company M publicly announced that Norkia raised $400 million to acquire a stake in .M Company, officially becoming one of the major shareholders of .M Company.

Thereinto. At the press conference, representatives of Company M publicly announced that the $400 million will be mainly used to develop and accelerate the next generation of ARMv7 architecture, with the aim of releasing ARMv7 architecture in the first half of 2004.

Furthermore. The representative of Company M also announced that the $400 million will be developed as soon as possible after the development of the next-generation ARMv7 architecture is completed.

Thereinto. The representative of Company M roughly extrapolated the performance of the ARMv7 architecture.

It is publicly claimed that the mobile phone processor with ARMv7 architecture can easily achieve frequency adjustment between 600MHz ~ 1GHz.

In addition, the ARMv7 architecture uses powerful NEON technology, which can increase DSP and media processing power by nearly 4 times!

So the performance of processor cores with RMv7 architecture will be the undisputed number one in the world!

In this regard, the people at the press conference naturally did not know what the ARMv7 architecture meant, and did not know what the ARMv7 architecture represented in the previous life.

The ARMv7 architecture was officially released in October 2004 and is the most classic generation of instruction set architecture in history.

It can be said that it is from this generation of architecture that . Company M officially began its glory days.

Also from this point on,. Company M has officially started a professional refinement offensive in various fields, such as cortex-A in the mobile field, cortex-M in the embedded field, and cortex-R in the real-time field.

Among them, the most famous smartphone processor cortex-A8 core is the world's first mobile phone processor core with ARMv7 architecture.

This Cortex-A8 kernel is quite classic, and was officially released on October 4, 2005 according to the history of previous lives.

It can be said that in the early days of smartphones, those smartphones used the Cortex-A8 core!

Therefore, the smartphones of mobile phone manufacturers such as Sanyi, Moto Luola, HTC, Coolpad, Meizu, and Lianxiang have all used this cortex-A8 core.

It can be seen that the ARMv7 architecture and the cortex-A8 mobile phone processor core are terrifying!

It can be said that this joint press conference does not seem to have any impact, but it actually has a considerable impact on the future.

At this time. With the $400 million financing investment of Nojia, the ARMv7 architecture will be accelerated several times faster.

Moreover, the launch time of the public version of the cortex-A8 kernel developed on the basis of the ARMv7 architecture is bound to be accelerated, and the release time may exceed that of the previous life.

In the previous life, the official release of the Cortex-A8 kernel was October 4, 2005, and at this time, under the stimulus of this $400 million money, the development time will definitely be much faster.

As for the process matching, the Cortex-A8 core itself uses 90nm process technology and 65nm process technology.

It can be said that both the current 90nm process technology and the future 65nm process technology are quite applicable!

So Dawning Technology is in danger!

In the short term, there is the .M1136J-S kernel based on the ARMv6 architecture released at the end of 2003 last year, and the cortex-A8 core based on the ARMv7 architecture for a long time.

In this case, relying solely on the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture can only compete with the ARMv6 architecture, and if you want to defeat the stronger ARMv7 architecture, you can only rely on updating and enhancing the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture.

But the sad thing is that it is useless to simply update the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture, because if you don't solve the 90nm process process, you can't produce 90nm chips and can't solve the problem at all.

Therefore, the current Sugon Technology has encountered huge challenges in both the instruction set architecture and chip production, which can be called burning money everywhere and asking for money everywhere.

In this case, the profits that can be made by relying solely on low-end mobile phones are already stretched, and it is a problem in terms of bigwig-level talents......

However, the outside world ignored the plight of Sugon, and after the press conference was released, the global media reported and discussed this matter for the rest of the day.

Overseas people are marveling at the power of the ARMv7 architecture, looking forward to the birth of the future ARMv7 architecture-based mobile phone kernel, and discussing what the mobile phone can do when the performance of the mobile phone is so powerful.

In this regard, netizens on the domestic Internet are naturally anxious.

Abroad. Company M claims to release a super ARMv7 architecture in the first half of this year, and then develop a stronger mobile phone processor core based on the ARMv7 architecture

I don't know if there is any news from Shuguang Technology, and I don't know if there is a research and development plan for the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture?

At this time, domestic netizens are really not in a hurry for the emperor and eunuchs, and Tianya Forum, Ying Haiwei, Shuimu Qinghua and even the recent emerging trend are all talking about this matter in various penguin groups.

They are very eager to know the relevant news, and want to know whether Sugon Technology has any plans to fight against the ARMv7 architecture.

Don't have the tragic scene of the proud Phoenix mobile phone processor being beaten by the Western mobile phone processor.
