Chapter 178 Huyue Chip Contact SMIC to produce

Um?

Is Hongguo Company willing to provide us with chips?

Hu Lai was a little surprised, but soon felt relieved.

It is not surprising that although Zezra, Qualcomm, and Hongguo are all famous technology companies in the Americas, these companies are also intrigue.

Mask once tried to contact Tim Cook, the president of Hongguo, when Zezra was in a difficult situation in 2016. At that time, Zezra also had a market value of US$60 billion, and Mask was already well-known.

But unexpectedly.

The Red Fruit Cook is not a bird or a bird, and he directly rejects the Mask without even seeing him.

The most amazing thing is that Hongguo pried away Zezra's most important vice president and engineering director, and joined Hongguo's car manufacturing team.

From then on, the two companies were bonded.

Not to mention the grudge between Qualcomm and Hongguo. The two companies have been in dispute for decades because of patent issues and have long since broken up.

Zezra and Qualcomm join forces to suppress Phoenix Automobile, and for other companies, they should give them a face and the capital behind them.

But red fruit...

I don't care about Zezra and Qualcomm at all.

Hu Lai was secretly funny. He wouldn't think that Hongguo was kind enough to help Phoenix Auto overcome the difficulties. On the contrary, Hongguo was really too good at ease.

In fact, after Phoenix released its voice assistant in the "Rainbow" series for the first time, Hongguo contacted Phoenix Factory several times.

It’s nothing more than Hongguo who reads Phoenix Voice Assistant’s technology and hopes to purchase and use related technologies.

But Hu Lai knows that the voice assistant needs to be equipped with a "future operating system" to use, and he refused without thinking.

After Phoenix launched unmanned autonomous driving technology, Hongguo once again sought to buy Phoenix's unmanned autonomous driving technology.

certainly.

Hu Lai also refused.

This time, Hongguo contacted Phoenix Automobile at such a fast speed and was willing to provide chips. I guess it was because Phoenix Automobile could not refuse and had to accept some of their conditions.

but……

Hu Lai remembered that the phone was still connected and asked with interest:

"Then Hongguo is willing to provide us with chips. What are their conditions?"

"Boss, Hongguo people said that if we are interested, we can go to the Hongguo headquarters in Shanghai for detailed discussions."

Hu Lai laughed silently.

Let's go to Hongguo headquarters to discuss?

There is no way to eat Hongguo, and I will definitely ask Hongguo Group for help.

After a brief understanding of Hu Lai lost interest, he then asked his secretary to reject Hongguo Group.

The little episode of Hongguo quickly passed, and Hu Lai Si returned to the 14-nanometer chip design drawings he just obtained.

After a call, Du Xinxin rushed to the office soon.

Hu Lai has saved dozens of G of information such as the design drawings copied from the system and the automotive-grade production process on the computer.

At this time, he alone displayed the important parameters of the 14-nanometer chip on the computer screen. When Du Xinxin arrived, he quickly greeted:

"Xinxin, let's see how the performance of this chip is?"

Du Xinxin was confused, but he still walked to the computer to take a look in detail, and he was immediately confused:

"Boss, the data on this chip is so strange."

"In terms of performance, this chip has a very high main frequency and thread count of computer CPU, reaching six cores and six threads, but..."

"If he is a CPU chip, why can his computing power be as high as 120TOPS?!"

"This is unscientific!"

After saying that, Du Xinxin was afraid that he would not understand the truth, so he quickly explained.

"Boss, the main factor in judging the performance of a CPU depends on the CPU's main frequency and thread. From the performance of this chip, this chip has reached the level of the ninth-generation Intel I5 processor!"

"And what's outrageous is."

"This chip not only has the performance of a CPU, but also has super computing power similar to GPUs."

"You must know that because ordinary CPUs need strong versatility to process various data types, there are very few pure computing environments left in the CPU. (The computing environment determines the computing power value.)

”

"A GPU chips (usually refer to graphics cards) do not need to be used to process various complex data types, but are only used to perform simple and pure computing, so the overall performance is not strong, but the computing power is particularly strong!"

"These two types of chips have their own advantages. Either they have strong comprehensive computing power and poor computing power, or they are like GPU chips with strong computing power and weak computing power."

"And what about this one on your screen now?"

"Even if the comprehensive computing performance is comparable to that of Intel I5 processors, the computing power can actually reach the computing power of high-end GPU chips. What's even more terrifying is how much power consumption is written here? 45W!"

"How is this possible!"

"Anyway, I can't tell whether he is a CPU or a GPU chip now!"

Du Xinxin looked at Hu Lai and said distrustfully while shaking his head:

"Boss, where did your chip data come from? Anyway, I have never seen a chip that can coexist with the advantages of CPU and GPU."

"Also, I have never heard of the architecture used in this chip, NB-Y architecture?"

"Boss, are you afraid you have been cheated?"

Du Xinxin said it, and Hu Lai finally understood something in his heart.

However, he had no idea about I5 and GPU, and asked tentatively:

"Xinxin, then you can briefly talk about it. How does this chip compare with the Snapdragon 8155 chip on our "Qingluan"?"

"Compared with Snapdragon 8155?"

Du Xinxin was stunned for a moment, then looked disgusted:

"Boss, this is not an architectural platform at all, it's incomparable!"

"Your chip is not a car-grade chip, at least it should be a chip on the computer. You are too bullying."

mess:"???"

"Boss, let's say that."

"Previously, after we equipped three Snapdragon 8155 chips on our 'Qingluan', we can run Phoenix L3 unmanned autonomous driving technology, artificial intelligence robots, and future operating systems."

"If it is this chip, it only needs one to easily meet all functions, and it can also play 3A game masterpieces happily, and even use them to render renderings!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that in terms of computing power, this chip is already 15 times that of 8155, and in terms of overall performance, this chip is at least 25 times that of 8155!"

15 times computing power!

Comprehensive performance 25 times!

Hu Lai was shocked. He had thought that the performance of the system chip would be very strong, but he really didn't expect it to be so strong!

Turtle!

Once this chip can be produced, then...

Zezra?

Qualcomm?

Snapdragon 8155?

hehe!

Hu is not prepared to keep it secret like Du Xinxin. After all, Du Xinxin is a professional and has much better understanding of chips than himself.

After sorting out his emotions, he looked at Du Xinxin and said:

"Xinxin, I'm going to use this chip on 'Qingluan'. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Xinxin's eyes widened!

What!

Ah sir, what did you say!

He pointed at the data on the screen in shock and said:

"Boss, this chip..."

"Used on 'Qingluan'?!"

Hu Lai nodded heavily, looked at Du Xinxin and said:

"Yes, I'm just going to use this chip to replace Snapdragon 8155. This chip happens to be a 14-nanometer process, and SMIC should be able to produce it."
