Chapter 669: [Tianwen] Chip
"Tingbo, how about the chips we designed based on the arm architecture?"
Huanyu Technology's chip R&D department has two projects.
One is the development of chips with completely independent architecture, which is currently the most difficult.
The other is an arm chip for accumulated experience research.
"Mr. Chen, our design has been completed."
He Tingbo took out the chip plan: "This is our chip design plan."
"let me see."
Naturally, Chen Yu couldn't understand the chip design diagram, but the chip solution can still be seen roughly.
Of course, this plan is actually based on Chen Yu's idea before.
The overall preference is for multimedia.
That is, various multimedia settings are integrated in the chip.
In this way, the mobile phone manufacturer can directly take the chip, and no more debugging is required.
It's not much technical, he's just an idea.
But this idea is creative, but it is not something that others can think of.
"OK."
After reading the plan, Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"Then, next, you will fully study the chips of our own architecture."
The autonomous architecture cost a lot of money, but the task is tight and difficult, and it has only reached 30% until now.
However, Chen Yu was not in a hurry.
He still has time.
As long as he has a firm foothold in semiconductor chips in recent years, it will be much easier to launch chips with fully autonomous architectures in the future.
...
"Mr. Zhang, do you want to find Chen Yu from Huanyu Technology?"
"What can Huanyu Technology do?"
Zhang Rujing's head is getting bigger now.
This is the biggest crisis he has encountered since he founded Center International.
He knows that if this crisis is not resolved, Center International may not be finished, but there is no chance of catching up with Taiwan-based power.
When the assistant mentioned Chen Yu, Zhang Rujing shook his head subconsciously.
Although Universal Technology has recently crossed the border a lot, it has also entered the mobile phone market, and even cooperated with VIA Electronics.
But in the final analysis, Huanyu Technology is still doing the Internet.
Although the Internet is very innovative, it does not actually have any technology.
But the semiconductor industry relies on the accumulation of technology.
The price of Taiwan-based electric energy has been greatly reduced, and it is also their technology.
But unfortunately, the 0.25-micron technology of Center International has just been developed for a long time. Not to mention the price reduction, it is normal production, and their cost is also much more expensive than Taiwan-based power.
However, Zhang Rujing didn't think about Chen Yu, but Chen Yu came to Center International.
"Mr. Zhang, it seems that Chen Yu is here."
"he came?"
"He just arrived."
Assistant Qiu Ciyun put down the phone.
Although Zhang Rujing didn't think that Chen Yu of Huanyu Technology could do anything.
But as Chen Yu, the major shareholder of Center International, Zhang Rujing did not dare to neglect.
"Mr. Zhang, I have to apologize to you. If it wasn't for me, you might not have been recruited by Zhang Zhong."
Chen Yu and Zhang Rujing met several times.
It's just that Chen Yu didn't chat with Zhang Rujing very much in the past few times, and he wasn't particularly familiar with it.
"Mr. Chen's words are out of the question."
Zhang Rujing shook his head and said, "Zhang Zhongmou spent a lot of effort in setting up this game. Even if I don't go to Taiwan, we won't be much better now."
Zhang Rujing was not angry because he was invited to Taiwan by Zhang Zhongmou.
The technology of the center is much worse than that of the Taiwan-based power, and the Taiwan-based power has a series of methods to compete with the center.
"I think so too."
Chen Yu also nodded.
Afterwards, the two parties sat down, and after turning over the courtesy, Chen Yu entered the topic.
"Mr. Zhang, I discussed with VIA before I came here, and I am going to hand over the VIA c4 chip to the center international OEM."
Previously, VIA's chips were made by Taiwan-based Taiwan Electronics Co., Ltd.
As for why it was not handed over to Center International before, it is entirely because VIA has cooperated well with TGC before.
Although VIA and Universal Technology are cooperative, VIA and Center International are not.
This time, Chen Yu was able to transfer the foundry business of c4 chips to Center International, which was a price.
Zhang Rujing can also see this.
Regardless of whether VIA cooperates with Huanyu Technology, VIA is still a Taiwanese company after all.
VIA most trust is Taiwan-based power, rather than Central International.
It can be said that Chen Yu has spent a lot of effort in handing over the c4 chip business to himself.
"Thank you Mr. Chen."
Zhang Rujing thanked politely, but still said with a wry smile: "This time Taiji Electric's price reduction is too ruthless, and the c4 chip is handed over to us for OEM, and it will not play a big role."
Netbooks look good, but that's what they look like.
At present, only Huanyu Technology and Shenzhou Computer use the c4 chip.
Overall, this amount is also small.
Even if this foundry business is handed over to Center International, Center International will not last long.
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, in addition to PC chips, we also have mobile phone chips."
Chen Yu naturally knew that this business was not big, and even if it was given to Central International, it would only be possible for them to last for a while at most.
What he brought today was not a PC chip, but a mobile phone chip.
The largest share of PC chips is controlled by Intel and AMD. Even if Huanyu Technology can enter, it can only get a small share of the market.
Moreover, there will be countless rounds of battles with them in the future, which is too difficult.
But in the face of the extremely scary mobile phone market, it is completely different.
However, Zhang Rujing obviously did not know what mobile phone chips Huanyu Technology had, and asked with some doubts: "Mobile phone chips?"
"Mr. Chen, your company's mobile phone chips use Philips and Infineon chips."
"I used theirs before, but recently we designed one ourselves."
"Design it yourself?"
"This is our chip design. Mr. Zhang, you are an expert in the chip industry. Please give us some advice."
Chen Yu took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Zhang Rujing.
"Let me see……"
Zhang Rujing inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.
Although he said to see, but Zhang Rujing was not very optimistic in his heart.
Of course, he knows that many domestic companies want to make chips, and many companies have already taken action.
Lenovo, for example, has designed a chip before.
But something like a chip is not something you can do if you want.
The first is design. Generally speaking, due to domestic technology, it is difficult for you to surpass others even in chip design.
Of course, this also depends on the authorization of arm company.
Generally, domestic companies can get the arm authorization structure is relatively low-level.
Can you imagine how high-level chips you can design in such a low-level architecture?
"God asks?"
Zhang Rujing was even more puzzled when he saw the word "Tianwen" on the chip design.
Obviously, Tianwen is the name of this chip.
But this is too arrogant.
Just designed a chip and named it Tianwen directly.
This time, Zhang Rujing didn't have much idea about this chip.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
A good chip doesn't become awesome just because you have such an awesome name.
Sure enough, that's exactly what happened.
When Zhang Rujing took a closer look at this chip called [Tianwen], Zhang Rujing found that it was a very common and common chip.
Well, it's actually not that bad, but it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
There aren't too many downsides, nor are there any highlights either.
Based on Zhang Rujing's decades of experience in the semiconductor industry, he feels that even if such a chip is made, not many people use it.
However, although he is not optimistic about the chips designed by Chen Yu.
But the design made by Chen Yu gave Zhang Rujing an idea, why didn't he design one?
Generally speaking, for chip foundries, they also have strong chip design capabilities.
But why don't chip foundries design their own?
It's not that they don't have this ability, but Zhang Rujing understands that the art industry has special skills.
They only need to do chip foundry.
Chip design is done by someone else.
Taiji Power has forced Zhang Rujing to exhaust all methods by drastically reducing prices.
Instead, it is better to fight and design a chip by yourself.
It's just that although he thinks so, Zhang Rujing also knows that this move is probably hanging.
They do have the ability to design their own chips, but no matter how strong their technology is, can the chips they design be comparable to Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Infineon?
If this can be compared, then Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Infineon and other companies will have nothing to eat.
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Rujing had some despairing thoughts.
He suddenly felt that his chip foundry business had stopped there.
"Hey, what is this?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Rujing's face became extremely ugly.
At this moment, he didn't even bother to look at the design drawings of [Tianwen].
However, just when Zhang Rujing was about to close the design drawing, at this time, Zhang Rujing discovered a very interesting design.
