If you want to design a chip, you must have a structure, just like building a building, you must also have a framework.
Rice company has been making mobile phone chips, but it is not as famous as Huawei Kirin chip.
The chips they design have always used the ARM architecture, which belongs to the British.
In the past, it was because I had no choice.
??What else can we use to design chips instead of a British arm?
Even the most powerful domestically produced Kirin uses a British architecture.
Of course, this is very dangerous.
Everyone knows that British people and Americans have always maintained a very close love relationship.
Mr. Lei is still very determined to make chips, especially after seeing the rise of Legendary Track. He hopes to use ingenious architecture to develop chips.
There is no doubt that the Ingenuity architecture is as famous as the British ARM and the American x86, becoming the world's three major chip architectures.
Arm dominates mobile phone chips, and x86 dominates computers and servers.
And the ingenuity is even more awesome, spanning mobile phones and computer servers, flying together with both wings!
For this matter, Mr. Lei flew from the capital to Shencheng to meet with Chen Yao.
It can be seen how seriously he takes this matter.
The question is, is Chen Yao willing to authorize it?
The ingenuity architecture has always been closed and cannot be used by other companies. Legend has used it to develop Lingxi and Somersault cloud chips.
Such core technology, should we give it to you or not?
Chen Yao touched his chin and thought for a while: "I can't reply to you yet, I need time to think about it."
Didn¡¯t refuse immediately.
Open licensing is also good for legends. However, whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits is something you really have to think about.
Once the ingenuity license is opened, it will cause a shock in the world's chip industry in minutes.
He did not reply immediately, and Mr. Lei could understand. He smiled and said, "I'm waiting for your news in the capital."
With that said, he put the contract into his briefcase and left accompanied by his assistant.
"What do you think?" Chen Yao touched his chin and looked at Meng Luolan beside him.
On the first day he took office, he encountered such a critical decision-making problem, which was also a lot of tests for Monroland.
If the ingenuity architecture is licensed, it means that chip design companies such as DaMi and Huawei can make chips as powerful as Lingxi and Somersault Cloud.
Of course, this is only theoretical.
The technology of chip design is very complex. A small 1 nanometer requires tens of billions, yes, more than tens of billions of transistors. Not every company can do it well.
By licensing the ingenuity to Huawei, with their company¡¯s talent and technology reserves, it may be possible to make awesome chips.
And the rice company, that
All I can say is, haha.
Like Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., their chip production technology is very strong, but they dare not design chips.
In addition to the high technical difficulty, it also requires a huge investment in research and development, at least tens of billions of dollars. Even if it is made, it may not be recognized by the market.
¡°At least 100 million chips must be sold every year, otherwise you will lose money if you design your own chips.
In other words, even if the ingenuity architecture is licensed, other companies may not be able to design performance comparable to the Lingxi chip.
On the contrary, after the authorization is released, it will have many benefits for the legend.
Look at ARM, it does not do chip design itself, it just does architecture, but a company that only does architecture is worth 40 billion US dollars!
This is more profitable than many chip design companies.
Arm is an open architecture, and all mobile phone manufacturers can obtain authorization to design chips.
After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Luolan said: "I think it should be authorized. What do you think?"
¡¡
7 o'clock in the evening, conference hall.
Guan Xinyan, Zhou Weiming a total of six people walked into the conference hall and sat down.
During dinner, Chen Yao said that he had a very important thing to say, which was related to One-stop's next chip strategy.
In the summer in Shenzhen, the weather is very hot. When the air conditioner is turned on, the cool air conditioning wind blows in front of us.
Chen Yao held the white chalk and wrote a line of words on the blackboard behind him.
Chip architecture, open strategy!
Guan Xinyan took a look and knew what he meant.
¡°You mean, open licensing our chip architecture to other companies?"
Chen Yao snapped his fingers: That¡¯s right. Just now, Meng Luolan and I discussed it. "
In the last server chip war, the legendary ingenuity architecture defeated Intel¡¯s x86 architecture, and the ingenuity architecture became famous!
Not only the rice company, but also many domestic IC design companies have sent requests to Legend, and they are all eager to obtain Legend's open authorization.
Today Mr. Lei came over, talked with Chen Yao for a while, carefully considered the matter, and finally decided on it.
Sun Zhennan is a little worried: "The ingenious architecture is the core competitiveness of our chips. If we license it
I¡¯m not worried about other companies. Kehuawei has the technology and is likely to make chips that are comparable to Lingxi.
By then, our Lingxi chip will have no advantage. "
Chen Yao cleared his throat: "I have seriously considered this.
Chip design is difficult, and even if Huawei¡¯s technology is very strong, it may not be able to match the legendary technical strength.
Even if they make a chip with the same performance as Lingxi, there will be no loss to Legend. We license the architecture to them, and we can take a commission from the chips they sell! "
It¡¯s quite exciting to draw money for flowers!
Huawei not only makes mobile phones, but also makes more money from telecommunications equipment. If it makes so much money every year, it can take a cut of it.
Meng Luolan said with a smile: "Huawei Company only does chip design and cannot produce it itself.
The chips they make will eventually be handed over to one-stop OEMs.
Not only will we not lose money, but we will earn more. "
Legend is the only IDM semiconductor company in China that controls everything from architecture, design, production, packaging and testing.
This is an advantage that no chip company has.
When the ingenuity is unleashed, not only will a dragon not be harmed, but it will become stronger and stronger.
After analyzing it one by one, Sun Zhennan and Zhou Weiming both felt that this was a great idea.
Chen Yao held the chalk and wrote another line on the blackboard.
Chip Ecology!
He said with a serious face: "The operating system has an ecology, and the chip also has an ecology.
No one can shake the status of ingenious architecture! "
A big reason why Intel¡¯s x86 architecture is declining is because they adopted a closed strategy.
It is difficult for other companies to obtain their authorization, resulting in their chip ecology not being as good as that of their competitors. The decline of a closed empire is definitely inevitable.
Only by opening up will we become stronger.
More important than how much money you make, you can stabilize the legendary chip empire! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
