Chapter 225: Great Wall G1X
"Moore's Law Founder: Ternary technology is completely worth the cost."
"Samsung Electronics Engineers Comment on Ternary Technology: Ternary is Anti-Human Design."
"Why was ternary computers abandoned? How is it repeatedly brought up? ”
"Gao Xiaosong: The sword can't be exchanged for 'corner overtaking', and being down-to-earth is the king."
"Aerospace companies make chips? Crossing borders is not so simple! ”

On August 18, when five visitors from the Oriental International Space Hotel took the Unity into space and docked with the Tiangong space station for another space station tourism project, a group of semiconductor companies hiding in the Maple Leaf National Opening Meeting finally reacted.
It's called the summit, and it's actually confirming how far Huaguo's ternary technology has come.
It's easy to find out, just search for keywords in the new patent databases of each country.
And then they saw a five-figure patent...... All of them are applied by Xinyuan company or employees, some are shared privately with the company, and some are held by the company.
These tens of thousands of patents make people wonder whether the patent office in China has recorded patents and smoked on the keyboard in the past month or so, but a closer look at all of them are important basic technologies.
Although it is an unfamiliar field, the team of engineers they organized quickly analyzed the results: the design and manufacturing of ternary chips are quite mature, and the other party's patent wall can be described as airtight.
The scope is simply jaw-dropping, and if you want to enter the ternary, you will definitely not be able to bypass these patents.
Of course, the biggest trouble is that through the ability to produce 28nm process in small quantities in the mainland, ternary computers can actually compete with mainstream chips with 14nm process!
This not only means that ternary technology is a threat, but also represents a higher potential for the development of ternary, especially the powerful AI computing power, which is recognized as the future direction.
While intensifying their efforts to think of countermeasures, they also began to secretly promote the interception of ternary technology.
As soon as Lin Ju opened his eyes, he saw that the hot search topics were almost all criticisms of ternary technology.
Including some of the more well-known media or celebrities, they actually showed up to point fingers at the ternary technology?
Who are they? Even the Commission of Science and Technology invited experts from multiple departments to conduct a comprehensive analysis before they dared to say a little conclusion, and these people can make a long speech and point fingers?
The spearhead was pointed at last month's semiconductor summit, apparently to make people feel that research on ternary technology was a waste of manpower and material resources, so that the research process was interrupted.
Xinyuan was naturally not let go, saying that they did not understand chip technology across borders, and they were messing around.
Lin Ju naturally didn't pay attention to it, the more they jumped, the more they showed that the technology they took out could indeed pose a threat, and they should increase their efforts.
I just don't know if the Science and Technology Commission can resist it?
……
On August 20, Intel executive Pat Gelsinger and Qualcomm CEO Steve Molenko visited China.
Zhang Siren, director of the Commission of Science and Technology, personally received them.
The visit of the two heavyweights in the semiconductor industry was preceded by a simple announcement, and they acted quickly, they arrived on the same flight, and after going to the Asian headquarters, they came directly to the capital.
The two respectively brought Zhang Siren two good news that they thought were:
First, if needed, Intel can sell the highest-end Zhiqiang series CPUs involving sensitive sequences for the next generation of supercomputing;
Second, the ARM architecture and X86 architecture can be limited to license chips used in servers and professional workstations.
Although it is not yet an era when chips are difficult to buy mobile phones, the two conditions given by the two companies are indeed very attractive, especially Intel's willingness to squeeze a little X86 architecture out of between its teeth, although it is limited to professional workstations and servers, which is surprising enough.
You must know that in addition to the authorization to Chaowei and Weilixun (cool) in order to avoid splitting, Intel has the X86 architecture in its hands, and no one wants to touch it.
Of course, they also have requirements:
Cease the development of ternary chips or open up 1,400 basic ternary patents.
In response to such a request, Zhang Siren politely invited them to climb the Great Wall and Mount Tai to appreciate the natural scenery of the mountains and rivers.
What are you kidding, just this little benefit is called Hanako, and now the research institutes and colleges and universities across the country are mobilizing, so they won't do it for this?
Now the entire domestic semiconductor industry has gone crazy, and with the acquiescence of Xinyuan, some performance parameters of the X32115 chip and XW151 system are internally disclosed.
When it was learned that the X32115 doped with 28, 45, and 55nm processes could be compared to the mainstream 14nm Zhiqiang, the excitement of the industry can be imagined, and they are ready to roll up their sleeves and compete with the Gringos.
Even if most of the patents are in the hands of Yellow River Semiconductor and Xinyuan, as a domestic company, it is impossible for him to collect money at most, and there is no need to worry about sanctions.
Therefore, Director Zhang is also very calm, it only takes about a year for a large wave of ternary chips to emerge in China to grab the market, and this time can still afford to wait.
Pat and Steve are not calm, and the more Zhang Siren doesn't care, the more it shows the strength of their ternary technology.
But they couldn't make more decisions immediately, so they simply stayed in the capital for the time being and didn't leave to actively contact the country.
As for the skeptical voices emerging in China, the Commission of Science and Technology has not been idle.
On August 22, 12 government agencies in Beijing announced that they would comprehensively upgrade their office computers and purchase the Great Wall G1X, a high-performance professional workstation barebones laptop.
Then the headline of the front-page article became: "Domestic 'core', domestic line." ”
Great Wall Computer and the unit held a grand and open delivery ceremony in the capital, inviting media from all walks of life to enter, and there is no shortage of consumer electronic product manufacturers who have entered the domestic market.
At the venue, the person in charge of Great Wall Computer held a slightly thick G1X computer and read aloud the parameters displayed on the curtain behind him:
"The Great Wall G1X is a high-performance office notebook, equipped with a Y1601 'Qiqi' processor from Yellow River Semiconductor, which has both graphics computing and native AI support;
Equipped with 9GB ternary dynamic random access memory produced by Hua Hong Semiconductor;
The storage space is also Hua Hong Semiconductor's 243GB SSD;
It is equipped with the XOS3.2 window operating system produced by Xinyuan Aerospace Power;
Equipped with a 72Wh large-capacity lithium-ion battery, with a 1080p high-quality screen, the size is 15.6 inches, the weight of the whole machine (excluding adapters) is 2.3kg, and the adapter power is 230W. ”
Of course, in fact, the Y1601 chip is the X32115 cut from the Huaxin production line, which is to take out these electronic components for the car and save some computers temporarily, mainly to prove that the domestic ternary system has entered the practical application.
The system is also provided by Xinyuan, and the XOS system has supported a full set of office software and audio and video playback, which can fully meet the needs of government departments.
Office software is directly from Kingsoft to spend money to buy WPS authorized hard translation of the past,Although the volume is large and wasteful,But X32115 can still easily support its smooth operation,Users do not need to re-adapt。
