Chapter 178 Huyue Chip Contacts SMIC for Production(2/2)
this……?
Du Xinxin's eyes were lit, which was incredible.
However, when he saw Hu Lai's tone was serious, he knew that he was not joking, nor did he ask about the source of the chip, but instead thought about it seriously.
After a while, he said slowly:
"Boss, if the performance data of this chip on the screen is not only a question of whether it is enough to install it on the 'Qingluan', but it is a waste of money and a waste of resources!"
"However, because the architecture of this chip is different from the previous ARM architecture of Snapdragon 8155, our 'future operating system' also needs to be redeveloped. You may not know that the operating systems between each architecture are incompatible.
”
"And, our main control chip must be a automotive-grade chip."
Hu Lai did not answer the question of automotive-grade chips, but the compatibility issues between architectures made him stunned.
However, there should be no compatibility issues in the future operating system, right?
Before he could speak, Du Xinxin explained:
"Boss, that's it."
"In fact, some car companies have always wanted to install computer CPU chips on cars, but so far, Zesla has moved Intel's processors and Nvidia's graphics cards to cars and has created a set of specialized Zesla for use
on-board system.”
"Other car companies also want to install computer CPU chips on cars, but they need to develop new in-car systems like Zezra. Most car companies have no money or technology and cannot build their own in-car operating systems, so it is better to
It is convenient to use the chips under the ARM architecture directly to use the Android system.”
"It's equivalent to moving the mobile phone system into the car. You can also use mobile phone software using the APP, which is so convenient."
Hu Lai understood it, which means that the computer's CPU cannot be installed with Android system, so many car companies simply use ARM chips and transplant the mobile phone system into the car.
Du Xinxin talked about compatibility issues and must also think that the "future operating system" is a system developed based on the ARM architecture.
Hu Lai would not doubt the compatibility of the "future operating system" at all, so he quickly interrupted Du Xinxin:
"You don't have to worry about compatibility and automotive grade issues. This is an automotive grade chip in itself, and the 'future operating system' is compatible with the NB-Y architecture."
this……?
What a automotive-grade chip?!
Good guy!
This is to build a powerful computer in the car!
Du Xinxin shook his head in shock:
"Boss, if all these are OK, then this chip can be fully equipped with 'Qingluan'!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that once this chip can be truly mass-produced, it will definitely be the strongest automotive chip in all cars!"
"good!"
With Du Xinxin's affirmation, Hu Lai finally showed a smile on his face and felt very calm.
After working hard for a long time, I finally solved the problem of chip design drawings, and now I am the only one who can produce the chip.
Du Xinxin was not familiar with production and manufacturing. Seeing Du Xinxin leave, Hu Lai quickly notified Director Zhang.
Because of the patent application, Hu Lai simply named this 14-nanometer chip "Tiger Leap" series chips.
Then, after passing the design drawings of Huyue chips to Director Zhang for a patent application, Director Zhang arranged for him to contact SMIC to see if he could urgently produce a batch of 14-nanometer chips.
Now in Yan Country, pure domestic lithography machines can only produce process chips with 28nm process, which is because SMIC has ASML's advanced process lithography machines, which can produce chips with 14nm process technology.
Of course, Hu Lai also knew that the production of 14-nanometer chips might also be sanctioned by the American countries to ban production, but at this time, Zezra's targeting Phoenix was just a commercial act, which made Qualcomm not provide chips.
Let’s make it first!
Hu Lai made up his mind, but he still remembered this matter.
In the future, whether it is independent research and development or system points redemption, we must find a way to truly solve the lithography machine, the "Dakmos Sword" hanging on all the chip companies in the Yan Kingdom!
After doing all this, Hu Lai finally relaxed and was just waiting for SMIC to make the chip and then package and test it.
But before he could relax for a long time, he received a call from Mr. Wang of BYD.
As soon as the phone was connected, Hu Lai felt the concern in Mr. Wang's tone.
"Mr. Hu, I heard that Qualcomm is disconnected from chip supply, it's simply too much!"
"Haha, thank you Mr. Wang for your concern. We have no problem at the moment."
no problem?
Mr. Wang could not have thought that Hu Lai would solve the chip design problem in such a short time. He thought Hu Lai "forced his face and smiled" and "verbally showed off", and comforted him a few more words.
After the courtesy, Mr. Wang said serious matters:
"Mr. Hu, that's it..."
"We just held a high-level meeting inside. Although BYD cannot help Phoenix in terms of chips, it's not easy."
"We unanimously decided to provide more than 20,000 Snapdragon 8155 chips in stock to Phoenix Auto. I believe that with this batch of chips, there will be more time left for Phoenix Auto to find solutions."
"Other models of our other models did not use Snapdragon 8155 chips, which had little impact. However, the only model of your Phoenix Auto has been restricted. As a strategic partner of Phoenix Auto, we should help brothers with our brothers!"
Well!
Hu Lai's face froze, and his originally relaxed mood suddenly stirred up waves.
He knew in his heart that BYD's V100 also needed this batch of Snapdragon 8155 chips. Mr. Wang actually gave the chip to Phoenix Automobile?
You know, BYD itself was also cut off by Qualcomm. If it was given to Phoenix Auto, it would really give up the production capacity of its own V100 model!
A hint of warmth suddenly surged into Hu Lai's heart, and Mr. Wang's move was a little beyond his expectations.
"Mr. Wang..."
After thanking Hu Lai on the phone, he just hung up the phone and received another call from Rybs, a Rice Group.
The content of Rebs' phone number is similar to that of Mr. Wang. After a call, Hu Lai felt quite comforted.
Unexpectedly, BYD and Rice Group, which cooperated with Phoenix, even proposed to provide the remaining Snapdragon 8155 chips to Phoenix Auto under such circumstances.
Hu Lai politely declined the two people's proposal on the phone. If the "Tiger Leap" chip cannot be produced, the chips provided by Rice Group and BYD will only last for one or two more months.
You still have to be able to produce chips yourself!
Just as we were dealing with information from all parties, the news on the Internet began to ferment wildly, and more and more netizens realized that things were not simply insufficient production capacity.
However, regardless of whether the insufficient production capacity caused Qualcomm to cut off supply, countless netizens' attention was involuntarily placed on Phoenix Auto.
They also wanted to know in their hearts whether Phoenix Auto can survive after Qualcomm cuts supply of chips.
However, what everyone unexpected was that Director Zhang, Zhang Feiyang, and Du Xinxin had already boarded the plane to Shanghai SMIC.
On the next day, several major capitals led by Gaoling Capital gathered at Phoenix Headquarters, and several major capital tycoons rarely gathered together...

PS: Thanks to Z188888888 for 500 coins.
I have a lot of family affairs recently, and almost all the updates are in the early morning, and it is my last stubbornness.
The last two chapters have introduced the chip manufacturing process, the difference between CPU and GPU, chip architecture, and ecological content in almost the simplest language. There is no popular science in the future. Thank you for your monthly tickets.
Chapter completed!
