Chapter 454: I Have an Idea

"It's not just a matter of architecture."

After Li Biqing said, Professor Wang added: "Although it is difficult to design something like architecture, as long as you find top experts to study it, it will be researched sooner or later. The most important thing is the constraints of the entire environment."

"Professor Wang, are you talking about ecosystems?"

"ecosystem?"

Professor Wang heard this word for the first time, but he understood it just after thinking about it: "You said the ecosystem well, it is indeed the problem of the ecosystem. Microtel's CPUs are supported by Microsoft and run on the Microsoft Windows operating system. Under this, a powerful ecosystem has been created. This ecosystem is so strong that Apple did not use Intel's CPUs, and eventually had to use them. In addition, ARM chips are also licensed to all electronic devices because of their openness. Enterprises, so ARM can be regarded as creating a very strong ecosystem.”

"If we want to make our own chip, even if it is made, it will be useless without software and hardware support."

With that said, Chen Yu also nodded extremely.

In the previous life, Huawei was so powerful, why did it never come up with an independent chip, and why did it not launch its own operating system for the time being.

It's not that they don't have this technology, it's just that they haven't come up with their own ecosystem yet.

If they come up with their own ecosystem, whether it's ARM or Android, they can throw it all away.

However, when he thought of this, Chen Yu had even more headaches.

In the past life, even Huawei did not do it, how can I break this situation?

"The best thing to do now is to buy their license and develop your own chips."

Li Biqing saw that Chen Yu was useless, and suggested: "Although the license we purchased is not the most advanced, it can still be used for commercial use. And on this basis, we can also do our own research. In the future, the technology will grow up, let's see Are there any other opportunities."

However, Chen Yu shook his head at Li Biqing's suggestion.

You can buy, of course, but the more you buy, the deeper you sink.

Just like ARM, he uses this open authorization to let the whole world cooperate with him.

After he dominates the world later,

Even if you don't want to work with him, you can't.

Because at this time, all the commercial markets are his, and it is difficult to replace it at all.

This is why ARM can be so awesome.

Speaking of which, there are more opportunities to enter the chip field at this time.

Aside from other things, ARM has not unified the rivers and lakes at this time.

"Is there no other way?"

Chen Yu frowned incomparably.

However, all of a sudden, Chen Yu thought of a new architectural idea in his previous life.

RISC-V.

This is a new structure that was created in the previous life in 2014.

However, unlike other architectures, RISC-V is open source.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu asked: "Professors, if we come up with an open source chip architecture, is there a chance?"

"Open source architecture?"

Chen Yu's proposal made the eyes of several professors shine.

"The idea is fresh."

"From an operating system point of view, linux is an open source operating system."

It's just, that's what they said, but several professors thought about it and shook their heads a little: "It seems feasible, but the actual operation is very difficult. In addition, there are open source software, but I have never heard of open source chip architecture."

"The open source chip architecture is indeed a good idea, but if it is open source, it must have a strong company to promote it all over the world. Just like windows, if there is no such company, even if it has come up with an open source chip architecture, nor can it create its own ecosystem, which is why linux has not become popular."

"And this open source, not many people are willing to participate."

However, when Chen Yu thought of open source, he had more ideas.

"Companies like Microsoft have not appeared in China for the time being, but they may not appear in the future. As for no one involved, this is easy to solve. I can set up a foundation, as long as someone can propose a new structure and new ideas, even if he If only a little bit is completed in the entire architectural design, the foundation can award him a sum of money.”

"The idea seems okay, but you can't keep throwing money at it."

Li Biqing asked.

"In the early stage, I can spend money first, but we can't always spend money. We can set a rule, the foundation can be divided into various parts, each manufacturer pays a sum of money, and the chip architecture designed in the future after paying a sum of money. It can be used for free without any conditions.”

"Then how to get other manufacturers to pay this amount of money."

"Then see if they have this vision."

Of course, Chen Yu said so, but Chen Yu still has some confidence in this.

Although a number of domestic electronics manufacturers have not become bigger, it does not mean that they have no vision.

On the contrary, there are many large companies and enterprises that have been silently waiting for this opportunity.

Of course, the interests involved here have to be clearly planned.

Even if someone wants to get involved, they have to see the benefits.

Otherwise, generating electricity for love is just to build a Chinese core, and there is no actual benefit. This will not work.

After all, like Chen Yu, they are pure businessmen, and they are not for completing national tasks. Even if it is to complete the national task, if there is no interest in it, it is difficult to build the entire market.

"Thank you professors, I have an idea."

Chen Yu was a little excited.

He wanted to perfect the idea just now.

"I'll say goodbye first, thank you professors, I'll visit you next time."

"Okay, go get busy. If you have anything, come to the school to find us at any time."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yu hurriedly left.

"Old Li, do you think Chen Yu's idea will work?"

"How would I know."

Li Biqing shook his head with a smile: "However, I'm looking forward to it."

"So are we."

The professors looked at each other with great anticipation.

Although they know that the opportunity is not great, if they don't do it, there is no chance at all.

...

"Yifei, Wu Kai, come to the office."

"By the way, invite our experts too."

With an idea, Chen Yu immediately invited Zhou Yifei and others to the office.

Hearing Chen Yu's new ideas, several experts began to be as bright as Li Biqing.

But then I found it too difficult.

It's just that although it's too difficult, Chen Yu still carefully analyzes it one by one.

The reason why ARM is awesome is that he is open.

The chip architecture is open source, which is even more open than the authorization of ARM.

In theory, this must work.

There must be an early investor here, and Chen Yu is willing to be the first.

As for the second, third...

Although I don't know who can come in, Chen Yu also has an idea.

The new architecture can not only be limited to mobile phones, it has to involve all electronic industries.

After all, not mobile phones need chips, but other electronic products also need chips.

Especially the future Internet of Things, like information sensors, activation scanners, cameras, infrared sensors...etc.

right.

It's the Internet of Things.

Cell phones are just one aspect of electronics.

It is only the mobile phone alone, and maybe not many people are involved for the time being.

But it would be terrifying to put the entire market in all electronics markets, the Internet of Things.

Chen Yu believes that such a proposal will definitely get a response from the market.

In this case, it is no longer the Huanyu Technology family fighting alone.

In the future, if other companies participate, depending on the amount of funds invested, a founding group of the foundation will be formed.

The foundation is in charge of all members of the founding group.

Founding members can use the chip architecture for free without any conditions.

In addition, if you do not join the founding group, you must pay a fee if you want to use it.

It must be distinguished from ARM here.

Although ARM is open, it is actually semi-open, and they still choose to license.

That is, they can authorize or not.

Others bought their licenses, and they may not be able to buy them in the future.

But the open source chip architecture that Chen Yu came up with, as long as you pay, you can definitely buy it.

You can also learn ARM here and divide the open source chip design into several levels of high, middle and low end.

The more money you pay, the higher the design you can buy.

If you're short on capital, opt for a low-end design.

Such a scheme can not only allow a number of manufacturers to combine, but also distribute their own interests.

If you don’t want to be part of the founder team, then in the future you will pay for the design yourself.

If you want to be on a founder team, start by putting up some money.

Paying a sum of money first can not only enjoy the free chip architecture, but also benefit from the funds delivered by other manufacturers in the future.

As for how to choose, Chen Yu does not limit it, it is up to these manufacturers to decide.
