Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

Chapter 529: 537



In mid-July, the weather in Jiangzhou was quite hot.

Jiangzhou People's Hospital, because of the expansion of the hospital, the old plane trees of more than ten decades have been cut down.

Under the scorching sun of the asphalt road, the patients walked in the hospital with dull eyes.

The hospital is actually a place that no one wants to come to, but it is the place with the most people.

Here you may really be able to see the true meaning of life, those who are desperate and desperate.

Jiang Zhou is undoubtedly the luckier person.

He was given a new life in the hospital.

After the combined colony surgery was completed, Jiang Zhou was able to get out of bed and walk after two days of recovery.

After staying in the hospital for about three days for observation, Jiang Zhou will be able to go home to rest.

He was really grateful.

Cancer equals death, which is the law in this age.

Especially lung cancer, that is basically sentenced to death, just waiting to be executed.

But in Jiangzhou, with the help of Changtian Technology, Jiang Zhou miraculously removed his already riddled lung and regained a new life.

After evaluation by respiratory experts and oncologists, as long as Jiang Zhou can raise his immunity again.

Then the cancer cells are very likely to disappear completely from the body and will not suddenly appear again.

This lucky new student was brought to Jiang Zhou by Changtian Technology.

As a grateful person, Jiang Zhou is very aware of the weight of this gift of regeneration in his heart.

One of the things that Jiang Zhou, who has just recovered, is most concerned about is, what is the result of Changtian Technology after improving the chip?

Changtian Technology Headquarters, Chen Xiao, Zhang Jing, Wang Xiang and Wu Jun are in the conference room.

After Chen Xiao's design, the Pangu No. 2 chip produced by Yanjiang Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (co-operated by Changtian Technology Tianjin Laboratory and Xiaxin International) was born.

The Pangu 2 chip adopts dual-core technology.

It should be the only commercial-grade chip in the world that uses dual-core technology.

The parameters of a single chip are fixed.

The main frequency can reach 3.0Ghz, the front side bus can reach 533Mhz, the FSB can reach 133Mhz,

Since the chip is to be improved, a complete change must be made.

Therefore, the carbon crystal laboratory of Changtian Technology changed the materials of the first-level cache and the second-level cache at the same time.

Both the first-level cache and the second-level cache are made of carbon crystal particles.

One of the first-level instruction caches is limited by size and technology, and Changtian Technology uses ultra-small carbon crystal particles to achieve 512KB.

The first-level data cache has also reached 512KB.

This approach can maximize the computing speed of the chip without being dragged down by data reading and storage.

L2 cache Changtian Technology Taijin Lab is relatively fierce, because it adopts a dual-core design and needs a "reservoir", so the L2 cache reaches 12 megabytes, and the storage speed is dozens of times faster than before.

A buffer pool is shared between the two cores, and a barrier is used to separate them in the buffer pool.

In this way, the two chips can work at the same time, and the function of the chip can be maximized.

It can also optimize the performance of the computer to ensure that the computer responds as quickly as possible when multitasking, and there will be no lag.

The technicians of Changtian Technology installed the chip on the matching motherboard again, and matched it with other mainstream hardware configurations on the market.

For example, the use of 2G carbon crystal memory, 120g carbon crystal hard disk and so on.

The next step is to start the system for testing.

Some of Yang Fei's people were short of breath, and some were afraid to look at the test results.

Because they know it in their hearts.

If this dual-core chip is successfully developed, then even if the current chip manufacturing process of Xiaxin International is far behind Intel, AMD, and even some semiconductor companies such as Samsung and Toyo.

However, through the mutual use of two backward chips, coupled with the addition of Changtian Technology's carbon crystal cache, the system is finally optimized.

Such chips do not lag behind Intel's most advanced Pentium 4 processors in terms of real comprehensive performance.

Clear boot sound and the sound of the CPU fan spinning.

In order to ensure the heat dissipation of the high-power CPU, the technicians also improved the heat dissipation mode of the CPU.

The contact surface between the copper core and the chip is increased, and the speed of the fan and the area of ​​the fan blade are also increased.

Next is the classic boot screen of firefly os.

4 seconds!

To everyone's surprise, the computer entered desktop mode after only 4 seconds of use.

The system assistant Xiaoying appeared on the desktop cutely, and said hello to the owner with words.

Seeing this scene, Yang Fei and Zhang Jing's people breathed a sigh of relief.

Technicians immediately began performance testing.

The most important thing to test the chip this time is to test the comprehensive performance of the chip.

In addition to using special test software, technicians also run conventional software such as design games and offices.

Data is cold, and only by using and experiencing it personally can we know whether the performance of the computer meets the designer's requirements.

GuChen Xiao was drinking tea quietly.

He is full of confidence in Changtian Technology's improvement of the chip this time.

As long as desktop chips can be successfully produced, will mobile phone chips be far behind?

Indeed, in the domestic communication market, all high-end mobile phones are occupied by Nokia, Motorola and other brands.

But Chen Xiao believes that it will not be long before people from Xia Guo can make their own smartphones.

The desktop chip is just the first step.

Zhang Jing and others were a little restless.

In fact, to be precise, this is the first time that Xiaxin International has produced chips for computer use.

Zhang Jing's heart is very much looking forward to it.

Because he has always been brooding about the fact that TSMC has set himself up behind his back.

Xiaxin International has been established for several years, but every time it encounters an industry summit or Zhang Jing returns to the Bay Area to handle the New Year and so on.

All sorts of gossips are going on.

Among them, Zhang Jing was attacked the most inside TiSMC, including in the chip semiconductor industry. Many people firmly believe that Zhang Jing resigned from TiSMC because he brought TiSMC's team and TiSMC with him. The technology went to Xia to make a fortune.

And everyone thinks that relying on Zhang Jing's current team and his personal ability, even if he plagiarizes TSMC's technology, there is no way to produce commercial chips in Xia, let alone surpass TSMC.

This kind of insult and ferocious attack made Zhang Jing eager to prove himself that he was right when he left TSMC.

Even if he left TSMC and did not get any technology, Zhang Jing could rely on his own ability and team efforts to produce Xia Guoren's own chips.

Wu Jun couldn't sit still on the sofa. He stood up and paced back and forth in the conference room.

The pressure of Shenchuan was also very high during this time.

Indeed, through cooperation with SoftBank, Shenchuan has obtained Intel's chips, and the products can also be sold overseas.

But Intel seems to be deliberately disgusting Shenchuan, and the chips he gave Shenchuan will never have any high-end products.

And the price is several times what Intel sold to Lianxiang, Dell and other brands.

This invisibly increases the cost of the divine ship.

However, this kind of cost Shenchuan cannot be expressed on the consumer side and the retail side.

Because Shenchuan is known for its cost-effectiveness, if the cost is increased aimlessly, it may be accepted by consumers, but this is also very detrimental to the image of the entire Shenchuan.

"Mr. Chen, the test results are out!"

Yang Fei shouted out excitedly.

Seeing Yang Fei's expression, Chen Xiao knew that it must be a success.

While handing a stack of data to Chen Xiao, Yang Fei explained to the crowd, "Our Pangu No. 2 chip uses a dual-core chip that shares a L2 cache pool."

"This can ensure that the chips can not only perform their own duties, but also share data, and the cache and chips made of carbon crystal storage particles are very fast in outputting and calling data with real chips."

"We just tested, if we don't emphasize the CPU's limit operation frequency, we just look at the comprehensive utilization ability of the CPU in the entire computer system-"

"Our Pangu No. 2 CPU has about twice the overall performance of the first commercial Pentium 4 processor used in the LGA775, the most advanced Pentium 4 platform."

When Yang Fei finished explaining, the entire conference room burst into excited cheers.

A smile appeared on Chen Xiao's face.

He never thought that the first computer chip in China was made in this way.

The process of the chip is not as advanced as others, and the equipment is not as advanced as others.

It is entirely by improving and perfecting the existing technology that such a result can be achieved.

But Chen Xiao also knows that this is also inseparable from the existing production technology of Xiaxin International.

If Xiaxin International did not have these equipment for producing chips, Changtian Technology would not be able to produce chips no matter how capable it was.

And this is the best moment in the history of Xiaguo chips. In a few years, Xiaxin International will enter a chaotic stage and will no longer have the strength to compete with overseas chip companies.

Yang Fei seemed to be showing off, and also seemed to have some regrets and said: "But the most unfortunate thing is that the power consumption of the chip is really high. If we don't use our specially formulated heat sink, it will be difficult to reduce the temperature, jokingly said. , ready to grill on chips."

Everyone looked at Chen Xiao, waiting for Chen Xiao to speak.

Chen Xiao first asked, "Mr. Zhang, can the Pangu No. 2 chip and Pangu No. 1 chip be mass-produced by our Yanjiang Semiconductor Company?"

Zhang Jing has a very good understanding of Xiaxin International's production capacity.

He said seriously: "Our current production capacity should be no problem to produce about 5,000 pieces per month~www.mtlnovel.com~ We will wait for the equipment to be equipped in succession before we can further expand mass production."

"During this time, I put all Xiaxin International's equipment into the production of chips, and produced it in the name of Yanjiang Semiconductor. In this way, I can produce 6,000 to 8,000 chips per month."

Chen Xiao could hear that Zhang Jing and Xia Xin International had cooperated very well.

Xiaxin International applies all the equipment to Xiaxin Semiconductor, rather than producing under the name of Xiaxin International.

This approach is quite straightforward.

Chen Xiao nodded and said: "With our current output, it is not realistic to produce more chips, but the symbolic meaning of Pangu chips is greater than the actual meaning."

Chen Xiao said to Wu Jun: "Immediately launch the Pangu No. 2 chip platform to produce T1 computers. We just want to tell Intel and other companies that if the price of your chips can't come down, then we will produce them ourselves!"

Chen Xiao also wanted to tell Nokia and Ollila that Changtian Technology no longer seeks to cooperate with these technology companies, and self-reliance is the only way.

Afterwards, Chen Xiao turned his head and said to Wang Yu: "The mobile phone chips you designed will continue to be improved and changed to a 130-nanometer process. I will find a way in terms of power consumption."Zhang Jing and others immediately returned to the Shanghai market.

If Xiaxin International was just founded, there was still some confusion, and he did not know where his efforts were going and whether he could succeed after his efforts.

So now Zhang Jing is very clear that Xiaxin International is to fully integrate into Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, give full play to its manufacturing advantages, achieve mass production of 130nm process technology, and strive to achieve mass production of 90nm.

Before Zhang Jing left, Chen Xiao chatted openly with Zhang Jing for two hours.

The central meaning of the chat is that after Xiaxin International joins Yanjiang Semiconductor, the profit obtained by Xiaxin International for producing chips will not change.

The purpose of Chen Xiao doing this is to let Zhang Jing completely let go of his heart and devote himself to the bankruptcy and expansion of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.

And Chen Xiao also made some promises to Zhang Jing.

For example, the technology sharing agreed by the two parties at the beginning.

Since Changtian Technology can design chips and help Xiaxin International improve its chip production technology, Xiaxin International can use this technology to place orders in the future.

Chen Xiao is very clear that the first goal that Zhang Jing hopes to surpass at present is TSMC.

Zhang Jing is also very clear that only by cooperating with Changtian Technology can we approach the level of TSMC as soon as possible.

This time, as soon as the Pangu 2 chip is announced, the international reputation of Xiaxin International will surely be known to more people.

Xiaxin International, which has cheaper chip manufacturing costs, will definitely be concerned by international chip companies and IC companies.

Zhang Jing's heart is calm, he must go up to the chariot of Changtian Technology!

On the other hand, Wu Jun is gearing up and eager to try.

He has put up with AMD and Intel for a long time.

Every time Wu Jun sent a delegation or personally went to the United States to negotiate the purchase of chips, he always felt that he was the same as his grandson.

It is necessary to ask the father to tell the grandmother to allow these semiconductor companies in the West to sell their own batch of chips reluctantly.

Sometimes, although the chip is obtained, the price is ridiculous.

If Shenchuan can use its own domestic chips, then of course, buy as many as you want. Why should you look at other people's faces?

Shenchuan immediately placed orders for Pangu 1 and Pangu 2 chips from Yanjiang Semiconductor.

And the total number is quite a lot, the total number is as high as 30,000.

Wu Jun could not help but announce the latest T1 Jiaolong domestic computer of Shenchuan to the world and the industry.

Except for the graphics card, almost all the hardware of Shenchuan's latest computer comes from China.

Under Wu Jun's urging, Shenchuan first got 10 Pangu No. 2 chips and 20 Pangu No. 1 chips, and assembled them on the computer first.

Chen Xiao and Zhang Jing have calculated the cost of the chip.

Of course, this kind of accounting cost must put aside the up-front cost of the design.

If only the production cost is calculated, the current cost of the Pangu No. 2 chip is about 700 yuan, and the cost of the Pangu No. 1 chip is about 400 yuan.

If you do retail at a 20% profit, then the retail price should be 840 yuan and 480 yuan.

Also because Shenchuan is one of the companies under Changtian Technology Group.

So 840 and 480 are the factory prices of the chip.

As for the terminal that comes to the Shenchuan, how much does the Shenchuan sell for? That is what Wu Jun needs to consider.

Wu Jun is also very clear that if Intel sells this kind of dual-core processor, the price will not be lower than 2000 yuan.

These chips will be immediately applied to the new desktop computer named Shenchuan T1 Jiaolong series.

Tiangong Technology Angda will also produce corresponding motherboards as soon as possible according to the number of orders for chips.

The reason why Wu Jun is so anxious is because now the ship has completely entered the international market.

In the first half of the year, Shenchuan's sales in Europe were still good, whether it was a desktop or a notebook.

Although it can't keep up with brands such as Dell and HP, and its popularity is not as good as Lianxiang, at least it has shown its face in overseas markets. This is the biggest progress.

Wu Jun thought, if there is the addition of domestic chips, then the configuration of Shenchuan's high-end computer. Its comprehensive performance must be able to compete with Intel and so on, and Shenchuan has an advantage in terms of price.

In this way, Shenchuan can also emerge in the international market.

After obtaining the consent of Chen Xiao, Wu Jun prepared to take two steps.

On the one hand, we continue to wait for Yanjiang Semiconductor Company to provide domestic chips for Shenchuan as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Wu Jun can't wait to release a domestic high-end computer named Shenchuan T1 Jiaolong series.

The reason why Chen Xiao agreed with Wu Jun to release the Jiaolong computer equipped with domestic Pangu chips at this time.

The most important reason is that Changtian Technology has been under a lot of pressure during this period.

SoftBank owns 80% of Firefly OS Toyo shares, and with the hot sales of Firefly Guard in the Toyo market, more and more Toyo users and even South Korean users have accepted Firefly.

GuFirefly OS is already the second alternative computer operating system.

At the same time in Europe, Dell, HP and other companies have also launched Firefly desktops.

The performance of Firefly OS in the European market is also very eye-catching.

Even if the current market share is not comparable to Microsoft's WindowsXP, it has become the world's second largest computer operating system.

At the beginning, when Changtian Technology and Softbank negotiated, the Firefly OS market in Europe was divided into the sphere of influence of Changtian Technology.

SoftBank did not expect that Firefly could achieve such outstanding results in such a short period of time.

Therefore, under this circumstance, SoftBank hopes to conduct a second negotiation with Changtian Technology.

The content of the second negotiation is to hope that Changtian Technology can give up most of the profits in the European market.

The price offered by Softbank is that Changtian Technology will give up 60% to 80% of the equity of Firefly os in the European market. In exchange, Softbank will continue to urge Intel, AMD and Nvidia semiconductor companies to sell advanced chip graphics cards and other advanced technology. Semiconductor products are sold to the computer company (also known as Shenchuan) under Longline Technology.

In fact, there have been some serious disagreements at the top of SoftBank at this time.

SoftBank executives did not expect that the influence of Firefly would be so extensive, that it would have loyal users in such a short period of time, and develop its own software ecological chain.

Knowing the current situation, when Softbank agreed to cooperate with Changtian Technology, it would definitely offer a higher bargaining chip.

There are two points of disagreement at SoftBank's top brass.

The first point is that some people hope to continue to follow business procedures, continue to negotiate with Changtian Technology, and let Changtian Technology give up a larger market through negotiation.

The second point is to directly use rogue means to put pressure on Changtian Technology, forcing Changtian Technology to give up a larger market.

In the end, the senior management decided to follow commercial methods and continue to negotiate with Changtian Technology.

The condition of the negotiation is, of course, to divide up 60% to 80% of the firefly profits and market in Europe.

Of course, Changtian Technology will not agree to this condition.

Everyone knows that Firefly will become an important operating system in the European market in the near future.

Even if it is impossible to surpass WindowsXP in a short period of time, it is also within everyone's expectations to compete with WindowsXP.

The popularity of Firefly OS has brought about the popularity of the ecological chain. This is a piece of fat that Chen Xiao will never give up, so the negotiation between the two parties is very difficult.

Wang Xiang has already had a total of five talks with representatives of SoftBank in Jiangzhou, Yanjing, Shanghai and other places.

The bottom line of Changtian Technology is to let at most 10% of its profits come out, but SoftBank never agrees.

Just when the negotiations between the two sides reached a stalemate, SoftBank was also trying to put pressure on Changtian Technology.

The way he thought of, of course, was to cooperate with companies such as Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, so that these companies could increase the price of Shenchuan to get goods, or make it more difficult for Shenchuan to get goods, so as to put pressure on Changtian Technology.

These companies are indeed in line with the agreement negotiated between Changtian Technology and Softbank at the beginning, and they are not in violation.

But this approach makes Changtian Technology really disgusting.

Especially in the summer computer sales season, the chip cost of Shenchuan is higher than that of other computer companies, the difficulty of getting the goods has also increased, and the time cost of getting the goods has greatly increased, which will of course weaken Shenchuan's global presence, especially in the Competitiveness in the mainland of Xia.

At this time, Chen Xiao asked Wu Jun to announce the computer with domestic chips equipped with domestic software, which is to tell SoftBank very solemnly that you can either continue to cooperate or get out.

Now if SoftBank withdraws from the cooperation with Changtian Technology, Shenchuan will definitely face difficulties for a period of time.

After all, Xiaxin International, Changtian Technology and Yin Yao's team's Yanjiang Semiconductor Company have just been established, and the production capacity of chips is definitely insufficient.

If SoftBank stops cooperation, Intel and other companies will immediately stop supplying to production, and Shenchuan will definitely face a core shortage for a period of time.

But when Yanjiang Semiconductor's production capacity rises, this dilemma will soon disappear.

In the end, it must be SoftBank that suffers.

Wu Jun immediately returned to the Shenzhen market and arranged for Shenchuan's executives to prepare for the summer new product launch.

Wu Jun did not expect that the release of new products every summer would actually become a prescribed action for Shenchuan~www.mtlnovel.com~ and Wu Jun also learned that this time, the Pangu No. 1 and Pangu No. 2 chips produced by Yanjiang Semiconductor Company led by Changtian Technology The entire development process is confidential.

Only several company executives and related technical personnel of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company know about it, and no one else knows about it.

Since this is the case, Wu Jun decided to keep this secret until the day of the press conference.

Mr. Liu Liu, the head of the marketing department, asked Wu Jun and said, "Mr. Wu, what do you think should be the theme of our press conference this time?"

Wu Jun said after taking the test for a while: "Inform the market directly and clearly that this is the first time that our t1 Jiaolong computer is a purely domestic computer, and we clearly inform everyone that the so-called purely domestic computer is from chips to motherboards. Our domestic companies do not purchase products from overseas companies, and these things must be clearly written on our promotional slogans and posters."

"Of course, we don't need to write down the models of chips and other hardware, we just need to inform everyone that there is such a thing."

Wu Jun is still ready to sell a pass.

"It's still the old rules." Wu Jun said, "Let's put the press conference in mid-August, so that we can catch up with the students buying a computer before school starts."
