Chapter Ninety-Six: X86 Is Done

"Since everybody's here, let's have a little meeting. Su Yuanshan glanced at everyone, these guys had to come to witness their exam papers today, and they came very neatly.

Zhou Xiaohui was about to go out, and when she heard the words, she turned around and said, "Do you want to call Mr. Chen?"

"No, we're just casually talking about the technical progress. ”

Su Yuanshan didn't bother to go back to his office, he sat on the sofa, and the rest of the people stood or leaned against the table to look at him.

He first looked at Qin Weimin: "Senior brother, I heard that Sony is going to meet the three parties, right?

The project cooperation with Sony has always been kept secret to the outside world, and the design part led by Qin Weimin here is actually almost there, but it can't stand the fact that Sony, as Party A, has been changing its needs, which makes Qin Weimin very irritable. On the contrary, the GPU team on the Xinghai side didn't modify it much. I don't know if Sony thinks Yuanxin is easy to talk to, or Sony doesn't dare to trouble foreigners.

Qin Weimin smiled and said: "It has been preliminarily decided that everyone will meet in Xiangjiang and concentrate on it for a period of time, but the specific date has not yet been decided." I'll tell you when the time comes-Anyway, it's been half a year since Sister Sun left, I miss her, how is she there?"

"Hehe, she's okay in Xiangjiang. It's just that some stupid people have too big brains, saying that she is my father's second mother, and they are the ancestors of the house. Su Yuanshan couldn't help but scold in the end.

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of which, the media over there can indeed make up any rumors for you.

"Senior Brother Tian, where are you?" Su Yuanshan said and looked at Tian Yaoming again.

Tian Yaoming's communication team has been established for a whole year, and in the past year, Su Yuanshan has never asked them to make any achievements, not to mention the personnel, and has always been very supportive - now, Tian Yaoming's team is almost equal to Jiang Wanchao's people in terms of numbers, and it is the second largest team of Yuanxin.

With such an investment that does not care about returns, it is equivalent to Su Yuanshan having been raising more than 100 of them for nothing.

Hearing Su Yuanshan's daily casual question, Tian Yaoming also replied casually: "At present, the progress should be a little slower than that of our peers, mainly because we got the standard a little later, and it took a lot of time just to eat the standard." And we also pumped some people to do 3G, and that thing took a bit of a detour at the beginning. ”

"Well, I'll build a national laboratory for you next year, and then recruit three or five hundred people to take his time. ”

Facing everyone's envious eyes, Tian Yaoming nodded very reservedly.

Su Yuanshan looked at Jiang Wanchao again: "Senior Brother Jiang, how well does Linux support the YX architecture?"

As the number of people in the program department increased, Jiang Wanchao divided into a group to specialize in Linux.

"I can enter the system, but the efficiency is not complimentary. Jiang Wanchao said: "After all, it was made by open source, even if the Linus god is awesome, the code level of the enthusiastic masses is uneven." It takes a lot of work on our side to solve small bugs, and it will take time to actually build a commercial system. ”

"Well, that's going to have to work harder. After all, the open source license of this thing is GPL (Commercial Mandatory Open Source), and the sooner we publish the version, the sooner others will accept our version, and the YX architecture will be recognized sooner. ”

"......" Jiang Wanchao glanced at Tian Yaoming, and said stupidly: "It's too partial, right? ”

At this time, the phone rang, Su Yuanshan laughed, and got up and walked to the phone: "Senior Brother Tian is walking in disguise, I want to urge him, he is easy to walk into the ditch." Hello, there. ”

Xi Xiaoding's voice came from the phone: "Xiaoshan." Cyrix has agreed to sell, and Carly is ready to conduct an asset appraisal. ”

"Well done!" Su Yuanshan clenched his fist and gently pounded it on the table: "What about the acquisition process?"

Xi Xiaoding smiled: "Not for the time being, but this matter has spread in Silicon Valley, and it can be said that a few families are happy and a few are worried." ”

Su Yuanshan laughed.

He could guess with his toes what he was happy about.

Needless to say, the two peers who were suppressed so badly must be ecstatic - because once Xinghai acquires Cyrix, it means that Yuanxin EDA will naturally become opponents with those CPU companies. No matter how powerful and awesome the Yuanxin EDA is, such as Intel, AMD, and MOTO, it is natural that security and support issues in the design process will be considered.

Just like it is difficult for a wafer factory with a design company to receive chip foundry - in recent years, the business of professional foundry Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has become more and more extensive, and it has already grabbed a lot of business, and even forced UMC to separate its IC division.

And the worries are naturally AMD and MOTO, which have always been hardcore allies with Yuanxin.

As for Intel, because it is a member of the strategic alliance for semiconductor manufacturing technology, it has been helping Synopsys and Cadence with the upgrade. So it might be a little happier - after all, it's suing Cyrix, what if it wins? You know, Xinghai isn't like Cyrix is a poor bastard......

"Did Sanders already look for you?"

"yes, running over to me and Carly and squirting...... You know, our relationship with his old man is actually okay, and he has a feeling of betrayal. ”

"Hehe, did you tell him that we will make EDA independent next year?"

Xi Xiaoding smiled: "That's it, that's what every customer says." As for whether they believe it or not, what they will think, there is no way to control it. ”

"Well, you can't believe it. Speaking of these people...... The YX01 has already sold 10,000 pieces out, and they are not worried. If you take a Cyrix here, you can blow up the nest, how much do they look down on our architecture?"

"That's different, buying a CPU design company means aggressive expansion, and people will definitely be wary of it. Xi Xiaoding paused: "When do you think you're coming over?"

"You guys get in touch with Texas Instruments first, and I'll talk directly next week. ”

Hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan shook his fist at several senior brothers.

"Senior brothers, X86 is going to be done!"

Several people have been listening carefully, and they were surprised to see Su Yuanshan say that they could get X86, Qin Weimin asked, "Can you transfer the ownership?"

Xinghai is registered in Silicon Valley, more than 70% of its employees are foreigners, and its president is also Carlyβ€”it is a Silicon Valley enterprise protected and constrained by the laws of the Star Flag Country!"

Su Yuanshan smiled: "In addition, we bring in Deyi, unless the Washington government issues a presidential decree to knock a big stick on the grounds of safety, the lawsuit will not stop us from buying Cyrix." ”

Jiang Wanchao smiled: "I'm afraid this won't be enough, right? Cyrix doesn't have any core technology. ”

"It's a drop!" Su Yuanshan exhaled softly.

To put it bluntly, Cyrix is now a small and inconspicuous company. Far Chip acquired it and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to dominate the EDA market, which may seem to many people to be a hopeless thing.

Maybe someone will help push it forward.
