Chapter 394 The Turning Point in the History of Chips, the Whole World Is Following Longxing Group

"It turns out that big bosses can also talk to each other. I thought it was just a cup of wine and a smile to wipe away a thousand hatreds."

"Pattern? It's just hyped up by marketing accounts. Real business wars are often plain and simple!"

"That's right, that's right. Don't be fooled by appearances. The boss is also a human being, and he has all kinds of emotions and desires. But I have to say that Mollenkopf is such a clown that he has to jump around!"

"You can see from just standing up that the big names in the international semiconductor chip field are all in the same camp. Only by joining the group can we Longguo entrepreneurs have a chance of survival."

"unity is strength!"

The audience's eyes were very sharp. As the algorithm library of the 3D Mark test software was exhausted, Chen Xing and Zhou Hongwei also used hard power to prove their innocence.

The scene of Shenzhen press conference.

After the "anti-counterfeiting" episode, Chen Xing quickly adjusted his condition and looked at the time on his sports watch. It was now half past ten.

If ordinary people were disrupted, the entire press conference might be affected, but Chen Xing is not an ordinary person, at least he works harder than ordinary people.

Since he had all the manuscripts in mind and memorized them by heart, with just a moment of adjustment, he regained the status of the press conference and improvised:

"The climbing process cannot be smooth sailing, and difficulties and obstacles will come at any time, but as long as we have a strong heart, any setbacks will be conquered, just as the battle report issued by Caesar in the Battle of Pharsalus said, I Come, I will see, I will conquer.”

The sound passed through the microphone and spread throughout the entire press conference.

After less than half a second of silence, the users, audience, and CEOs of local companies in Dragon Country could not help but applaud.

"I come, I see, I conquer", no sentence is more applicable to Longguo's semiconductor chip field than this.

From EDA software, underlying instructions, to chip raw materials and photolithography machines, the previous Longguo companies had almost nothing.

seen.

Nature needs to conquer it!

Now, Huaxia Chip has explained in the most intuitive, simple and crude way what "I conquer" means.

"La bang bang——"

The applause was like a downpour, loud and powerful, and then met with the spring drizzle, it was continuous and lasted for half a minute.

Kuko, Mollenkopf, Peter Wennink, Maeda Hidetsugi, Kobayashi Rokuro, and Zhang Mu, who had just stood up to confront each other, were a little embarrassed when faced with the deafening applause, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

The most outrageous thing now is that they don’t know how the 7-nanometer chip can achieve 3 trillion operations per second.

Apple's chip R&D team, which is a world-famous top scientist, can perform 1.7 trillion operations per second using the same nanometer manufacturing process. This is not only puzzling to Pocket and Mollenkopf, but the whole world is watching this live broadcast. Experts in the chip field are confused.

"The episode is over."

Suddenly, Chen Xing spoke again.

All of a sudden.

The slightly muted applause died down immediately.

I saw Chen Xing put the remote control in his left hand, then reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out the Huaxia chip sealed with resin material, and solemnly announced: "Let us appreciate it up close, the world's first three-dimensional integrated circuit design, 7 The whole picture of nano-process chips.”

"Three dimensions?"

"What? Three dimensions?"

"Three-dimensional integrated circuit design chip?"

The words fell.

Pou Ke, Molenkov, Zhang Miao, and all the big players in the semiconductor chip field are not calm anymore.

Ren Guofei was even more stunned and murmured to himself: "It's actually chip stacking technology. No wonder one chip can surpass twice the performance of chips of the same process. It turns out to be stacking technology!"

"What is stacking?"

Rebus couldn't help but ask.

He has not laid out semiconductor chips and has little knowledge of the so-called chip technology. He only knows a general situation.

"Is it amazing? This technique?"

Luo Hao asked the same question.

"This technology is not a new technology. It is generally used in memory chips. The so-called 32G, 64G and 128G are based on who has the highest stack, but I have never heard of this technology being applied to SOC system-level chips. "Ren Guofei's eyes flickered, as if he had been opened to a new world.

"this!"

"Is this... so awesome?"

Rebus, Luo Hao, and even Wang Fu couldn't help being surprised.

What does it mean to be far ahead?

This is called being far ahead!

And Pou Ke, who was in the first row, was stunned on the spot. His whole body could not stop shaking. No one knew what he was thinking, but the only thing that was certain was that SOC system-level chip stacking technology. This definitely opens another door in the chip field.

Not only Panko, but also Mollenkopf, Zhang Miao, Peter Weinink, Maeda Hidetsugi, and Kobayashi Rokuro all showed shock in their eyes. If Huaxia Chip really uses stacking technology, it can be explained why. A chip with the same nanometer process can perform more than twice the number of calculations than its opponent.

…

And at the same time.

the other side.

Imperial Dragon Academy.

The moment Qu Cheng, who was paying close attention to the live broadcast room, heard "chip stacking technology", a cold air spread all the way up from his tailbone, approaching his inspiration, and countless ideas emerged in his mind.

This is equivalent to a master who has been stagnant in martial arts for decades, and suddenly meets a sweeping monk. In a few words, his state of mind becomes loose.

"Stack!"

"We all got it wrong!"

"The current direction of chip development is not nano-processing, but stacking technology!"

Qu Cheng grabbed Liu Dongsheng's collar. He was so excited that he was shaking all over. The latter responded with great excitement: "Yes, stacking, it is stacking. The general direction of chip development in the future should not be nano-processing, but stacking!"

"Instead of conquering the quantum tunneling effect, it is better to go the way of stacking. What a genius idea!" Wang Hai, who is also an academician, couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

These chip academicians have devoted their lives to Longguo semiconductor chips. They thought they would not see overtaking in their lifetime, but Longxing Group brought them the possibility and even gave them a general direction.

The limit of silicon-based materials is 7 nanometers?

Why pursue conquering 5 nanometers?

Using stacking technology to pursue performance, 7-nanometer chips can also achieve 2 or even 3 times the chip improvement of ordinary chips.

Qu Cheng, who had two big bags under his eyes but a bright look, waved his hand and said without hiding his excitement: "Hold a meeting immediately. The project of conquering the quantum tunneling effect needs to be put aside. We must turn around urgently and make the stacking technology the world's top level!"

"Where is the project funding?"

Liu Dongsheng asked.

Wang Hai smiled and stretched out his right hand to make a gesture of retracting and closing his five fingers and said: "Of course, we need all of them!"

"That's right!"

Qu Cheng nodded and responded: "We need to apply for special project funds, because money is the basis of research and development. We also need to turn around urgently in the direction of chip research and development!"

At the same time.

The United States on the other side of the ocean.

Major well-known chip research institutes.

Top foreign chip experts and Chinese chip experts all widened their eyes, and some even held their heads in disbelief.

"Stacking technology!"

"Oh my God, Longxing Group actually uses three-dimensional integrated circuits to design chips. How do their engineers solve the heat dissipation problem? This is impossible!"

"The SOC system-level chip uses stacking technology, which is equivalent to two chips, or even three or four chips combined. Their heat dissipation and power supply are all problems. This is simply a miracle. This is incredible. Could it be that God has favored Longguo again?"

"They are creating miracles! They are writing history, my God!"

It's not that they haven't thought about using stacking technology on SOC system-level chips, but they have failed after many attempts.

Why did they fail?

Two reasons, heat dissipation and power supply!

Let's talk about the heat dissipation problem first.

Chip stacking technology is equivalent to building a house. One layer is one chip, and three layers are equivalent to three chips.

At present, the energy consumption of chips on the market is generally in the range of 12-20W. If this value is multiplied by three, even if the lowest power consumption of 12W is used, the operating power consumption will reach 36W.

What is the concept of 36W power consumption?

Let's just say that Qualcomm's famous "Fire" Dragon chip 810 has a power consumption of 20W, which many mobile phones can't handle.

When a chip with a power consumption of 36W runs, it is not warm, but hot, and it may burn the motherboard directly!

And the most important thing is that the three-dimensional chip is in a stacking mode, and the heat emitted by the integrated circuit will continue to accumulate in a small space, which is difficult to dissipate and more likely to affect the service life of the chip.

In addition to the heat dissipation problem, the circuit energy supply is also a big problem.

Because it is a design similar to building a house, electricity can only be transmitted from bottom to top like a house. In addition to the problem of how to connect, there is also the problem of energy consumption of the transmission circuit, which invisibly increases the power consumption of the chip operation and makes the heating problem more serious.

It's not that foreign chip experts didn't try, but they don't have the ability to solve it.

Two SOC system-level chips running at the same time must control the power consumption below 19W, which is more difficult than killing them.

This is why chip stacking technology is only used for memory chips, not SOC system-level chips. The latter is a collection of multiple chip modules. If they are run in two-in-one mode, the power consumption is really not a joke.

Charles, the chief chip engineer of Qualcomm and the leader of Group 2 of the US Chip Lab, is now touching his chin. His expression is a little dull, and his eyes are also dull.

However, his brain is completely opposite to what he shows. At this time, his brain is thinking at a speed of 300 yards, how the engineers of Longxing Group solve the heat dissipation problem.

The 7-nanometer chip can perform 3 trillion operations per second, which can only prove that they have indeed conquered chip stacking and provided unlimited development space for this technology.

Next to him is a Jewish chip engineer named Rochebuel, who is one of the top ten chip experts in the United States and the designer of Apple's A10 neural engine bionic chip.

He looked solemn and muttered to himself: "Who is the engineer who designed the Huaxia chip instead of the conventional way of thinking to conquer the nano-process and study three-dimensional stacking?"

"What a crazy chip, what a crazy idea, I need a Huaxia chip to unlock all its mysteries."

Another American engineer echoed.

They gathered here to develop semiconductor chips with stronger performance and higher nano-level.

Because the originally unbreakable and airtight world semiconductor chip pattern has become fragmented under the impact of Chen Xing's Longxing Group, they must re-establish the chip hegemony.

But tonight they found out...

Wrong direction!

They are researching in the wrong direction!

Instead of studying chip nano and conquering the quantum tunneling effect, it is better to conquer heat dissipation and function, and use chip stacking technology to manufacture three-dimensional integrated circuit chips.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

When the design concept of three-dimensional integrated circuit chips was announced, experts in the field of semiconductor chips all over the world realized that they were in the wrong direction, or in other words, the direction of short-term conquering was wrong. If in the long run, conquering nano-process is no problem, but if you want to see quick results, stacking technology is a new direction.

…

Shenzhen Longgang.

Autumn press conference site.

After Chen Xing showed the Huaxia chip, he silently pressed the remote control, and the LED screen behind him switched again, showing the technology needed to manufacture this chip.

"Distributed heat transfer technology"

"Efficient electrical interconnection technology"

"High-precision stacking technology"

"Warp bottom grinding technology"

"Redundant design and error detection and correction technology"

The full screen of technology bubbles surrounded the Huaxia chip in the middle. Ku Ke had unconsciously stretched his neck to see more carefully, because some technical fonts were too small and he couldn't see clearly.

Gaotong CEO Morenkof was even more stunned. The complexity of Chinese chips far exceeded their imagination.

However, he suddenly thought that if he applied for a technical patent, the specific principle needed to be made public. Then, perhaps they could "learn from" it and quickly build a three-dimensional integrated circuit SOC system-level chip.

But what he could think of, Gao Zhengqian couldn't think of? Even if Gao Zhengqian couldn't think of it, would Chen Xing, the decision maker, not think of it?

Chen Xing on the stage glanced at the LED screen behind him, walked back to the middle of the podium calmly, and glanced at the bigwigs in the semiconductor chip field in the first row. He smiled and said:

"The technical bubbles displayed on the LED screen at this time are the result of the efforts of our chip engineers day and night, so I made a bold decision, that is, not to apply for a technical patent and not to disclose the principle to the outside world."

"Hiss!!!"

The audience was stunned instantly.

Not applying for a technical patent?

Aren't you afraid of being conquered by foreign countries and registering first?

For a while.

The audience on the whole network was talking about it.

"What's going on? You said earlier that engineers worked day and night, but why didn't you say you didn't apply for a technical patent?"

"You don't understand, right? Applying for a technical patent requires disclosing the technical principle, which can be checked by everyone. It's like exposing it in exchange for a patent for 10 to 20 years."

"If you are absolutely confident in your own technology and think that no one can overcome it in a short period of time, it will be better to do so, because the opponent doesn't know the technical principle and can only start from scratch, which will greatly increase the difficulty of overcoming it. If the technical principle is disclosed, they can easily learn from it and develop new technologies."

"This... feels like a big risk!"

"It can only be said that risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to suppress the development of foreign technology as much as possible, you must use extreme means!"

"That's right! We can't let foreigners copy it!"

Just as the audience said, Chen Xing made this decision after careful consideration and after seeking Gao Zhengqian's opinion.

He didn't want to be "borrowed" by the whole world like the three-dimensional integrated circuit chip and fast charging technology, but he couldn't do anything about them, because they bypassed the content of your patent application and redesigned the results.

From zero to one is difficult, from one to two, that is a matter of course.

It is precisely because of the experience that Chen Xing decided to give up the so-called patent protection, so that those experts who peeked at the technology could not understand the principle. Even if it was delayed for a year, Longxing Group could complete the first-hand layout again in the one-year gap.

Of course.

There is also the most important point.

That is, you cannot know whether the other party will immediately copy it for non-commercial purposes after the principle is made public.

When Morenkof heard that Chen Xing would not apply for patent technology and would not disclose the technical principle, he had a guilty conscience and dodged his eyes, and he dared not look at Chen Xing again.

If it was discovered that Gaotong's baseband chip actually stole the DSP multi-core architecture, they would probably be ruined.

Chen Xing did not pay too much attention to Morenkof's little tricks, because this kind of jumping clown was not worth his attention at all.

After announcing his decision, Chen Xing pressed the remote control.

The LED screen switched, and the specific parameters of the Huaxia chip appeared. He also began to introduce: "Our chip adopts a 1+3+1+3 core architecture design, with two large cores with a main frequency of 3.0GHz, two medium cores with a main frequency of 2.4GHz, and four small cores with a main frequency of 1.8GHz."

"In the daily work process, the algorithm built into our chip will automatically allocate the working core according to the different needs and scenarios of users to ensure the smoothness of operation."

"Let's demonstrate it on the actual machine."

Chen Xing took out the Geek X2 in his pocket, reconnected the LED screen and demonstrated: "For example, if I open King of Glory now, you can see that the notification bar will automatically enter the game mode. At this time, our first large core will start to ensure that our game can run."

"It just so happens that there is still time now. I will open a game of King of Glory to show everyone the special channel optimization we cooperated with Penguin Company. By the way, everyone can also judge whether my gaming skills can play professionally."

"Hahaha——"

Chen Xing's final joke made the press conference burst into laughter again. Even Ma Ma couldn't hold back and lowered his head to cover his mouth while laughing.

Chen Xing plays professionally?

Then the champion will probably be determined by default.

Although the professional league of Honor of Kings has just started, city competitions and college competitions are already being planned.

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so humorous and even talk about his career."

Rebus couldn't help but tease.

When Luo Hao heard this, he also smiled and followed his words: "This is called having a sense of humor. If he really plays professionally, then we will probably have to play too."

"If you're interested, how about I set up an entrepreneur league for you?" Xiao Ma has lost control of his expression, and his whole face has a smile that is visible to the naked eye.

"I'm almost seventy and can't play anymore."

Ren Guofei refused directly.

A 70-year-old man conquering the canyon is big news.

While everyone was talking about it, Chen Xing had already started his game.

It doesn’t matter whether a gaming phone has good performance or not. You only need to play a game to know the specific situation.

"This is the game with the highest frame rate and highest quality. We can see that after entering the game, the upper frame rate is stable at 60 frames. This is the highest frame rate of Honor of Kings currently."

Chen Xing explained while playing.

The hero he uses is Luban No. 7.

He rarely plays games. The reason why he held a game at the press conference was not only to test the overall performance of the mobile phone, but also to indirectly promote Honor of Kings. As the game revenue increased, he could also benefit from it.

"One skill missile, strafing."

"This hero can strafe with 4 basic attacks."

"Second skill missile."

"We are playing in a group. Please pay attention to the frame rate above me and see if there are any frame drops."

Chen Xing's actual machine demonstration completely explained what it means that real gold is not afraid of fire, and it was clear whether it would work or not.

In the audience, Jiu Ke, Lee Jae-yong, Ren Guofei, Rebus, and Luo Hao all silently took note of the fact that the press conference could still be held like this, and it could be targeted for publicity like this.

And at the same time.

Weibo information platform.

The entry for "Chen Xing's Test of Geeks X2" has topped the hot search list. Netizens constantly clicked on the entry and were shocked by the game screen in the live broadcast room of the press conference.

When you click into the live broadcast room of the press conference, the barrage style is even more novel.

"The anchor has something special. He can counter-attack one on two. I feel like I can really play professionally!"

"This anchor works too hard. Others sit and play. He plays games standing up, and while playing, he also introduces some things that he doesn't understand. I want to give him a gift. Forget it, I'd better wish him a speedy day. Earn tens of millions a year.”

"Chen Xing: Thank you so much!"

"Anchor, I sent you a plane, why don't you thank me?"

"Chen Xing: Thank you for the three melons and two dates."

Netizens' spontaneous jokes have made the live broadcast room soaring in popularity. Perhaps Chen Xing would not have expected that when he was playing games, the number of viewers had exceeded 5 million people online at the same time. This is an insurmountable milestone in the live broadcast industry.

As the game time came to ten minutes, Chen Xing did not care about playing, but continued to show: "After playing for ten minutes, the frame rate of our Geek X2 is still stable. This is what everyone has seen with your own eyes, but! "

Suddenly, he changed the topic and announced: "We can also break through the frame rate, activate the second large core, add exclusive optimization, and reach 90 frame mode, so that you can play games more happily!"

I saw Chen Xing opening the external performance buttons on the right side of the phone.

All of a sudden.

The frame rate has changed.

The originally stable 60 frames became 90 frames.

The already smooth graphics become smoother as the frame rate increases, and each hero's spell-casting and attacking movements become silky smooth.

"This is the special optimization we have cooperated with Penguin. Geek X2 will be the first mobile phone to enable 90 frame mode."

Chen Xing announced in a high profile.

Gaming phones are definitely bound to games, and Honor of Kings, which is currently popular all over the country and has a daily activity of over 100 million, has become the best choice.

As the 5V5 team battle started, the mobile phone was still stable even after breaking through 90 frames. There was no frame drop during the 30-second team battle, and the performance was very powerful.

"Victory!"

As the voice of victory appeared, the opponent's crystal base exploded directly. After the actual demonstration, Chen Xing did not pause for a moment and continued at his own pace: "Fourteen minutes of game, zero frame drops, this is what we have given user performance.”

“Awesome!!!”

“Mr. Chen is awesome!!!”

"What an exaggerated performance. Is this the new generation of geek series?"

The audience was already cheering. Chen Xing smiled, silently disconnected the phone from the screen, and then asked: "What is your ideal price range for our phone?"

"5999!"

"6999!"

"Trust me, 7999!"

Listening to the shouts and feedback from the audience, Chen Xing shook his head and joked: "Your money is blown by the strong wind, isn't it? Why do you keep guessing at prices above 6,000 yuan?"

"alright!"

He walked to the right side of the podium to avoid blocking the view of the LED screen, then gently pressed the remote control in his hand and revealed the answer: "We will not hold back and directly announce the final sales price of the three Geek X2s with different configurations. "

next second

The LED screen behind Chen Xing switched, and the global sales prices of three different configurations of Geek X2 were displayed in front of everyone.

4+64G memory, Geek X2 standard version, 4299 yuan.

4+128G memory, Geek X2 advanced version, 4599 yuan.

6+256G memory, Geek X2 top version, 5399 yuan.
