Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Page 586

Although Chen Yu knew that this pit was useless even if he guarded against it.

But it is not Chen Yu's style not to fight back when he is tricked.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu went to the chip research and development department of Universal Technology.

It's time to start the chip business that I spent a lot of money on.

……

"The little guy is quite arrogant."

Seeing Chen Yu hang up the phone, Zhang Zhongmou smiled.

He actually admired Chen Yu a lot.

He created such a big business at such a young age, but he was far inferior to himself back then.

However, appreciation is one thing, and competition in the market is another.

He, Zhang Zhongmou, has been able to achieve the status he is today after so many years of struggle, but he took every step after careful consideration.

As for Chen Yu calling him proudly, he didn't mind.

On the contrary, he hid his hand.

As long as TSMC cooperates with Intel and manufactures for Intel, it will also pose a relatively big threat to VIA chips.VIA is now tied to Universal Technology, which can also threaten Chen Yu.

Of course, it also depends on whether Intel is willing to cooperate with TSMC.

But on this point, Zhang Zhongmou is not in a hurry.

TSMC's technology is steadily superior to all peers in the world, and this is the source of his confidence.

Chapter 669: [Heaven Question] Chip

"Ting Bo, how is the chip we designed based on the arm architecture before?"

Universal Technology Chip R&D Department has two projects.

One is the development of chips with a completely independent architecture, which is currently the most difficult.

The other is an arm chip for accumulating experience research.

"Mr. Chen, our design has been completed."

He Tingbo took out the chip plan: "This is our chip design plan."

"let me see."

Naturally, Chen Yu couldn't understand the chip design diagram, but he could still get a general idea of ​​the chip design.

Of course, this plan is actually based on Chen Yu's idea before.

Generally leaning towards the multimedia.

That is to integrate various multimedia settings in the chip.

In this way, mobile phone manufacturers can directly take the chip over, and no more debugging is required.

It's not much technology, it's just an idea.

But this idea is not what others can think of.

"OK."

After reading the plan, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, next, you will devote all your efforts to researching our own chips."

A lot of money has been spent on independent architecture, but the task is tight and difficult, and it has only reached 30% until now.

However, Chen Yu was not in a hurry.

He still has time.

As long as he has gained a firm foothold in semiconductor chips in recent years, it will be much easier to launch chips with completely independent architectures in the future.

……

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to find Chen Yu from Huanyu Technology?"

"What can Huanyu Technology do?"

Zhang Rujing's head is getting bigger now.

This is the biggest crisis he has encountered since he founded Center International.

He knows that if this crisis is not resolved, Center International may not be finished, but it is impossible to have a chance to catch up with Taiji Electric.

When the assistant mentioned Chen Yu, Zhang Rujing subconsciously shook his head.

Although Huanyu Technology has crossed many borders recently, it has also entered the mobile phone market, and even cooperated with VIA Electronics.

But in the final analysis, Huanyu Technology is still doing the Internet.

Although the Internet is very innovative, it is not really a technology.

But the semiconductor industry relies on the accumulation of technology.

The price reduction of Taiwan-based electric energy is also due to their technology.

But it is a pity that the 0.25 micron technology of Center International has just developed, not to mention the price reduction, even in normal production, their cost is much more expensive than that of Taijidian.

However, Zhang Rujing didn't think about Chen Yu, but Chen Yu came to Center International.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems that Chen Yu is here."

"he came?"

"He just arrived."

Assistant Qiu Ciyun put down the phone.

Although Zhang Rujing didn't think Chen Yu of Huanyu Technology could do anything.

But as Chen Yu and Zhang Rujing, who are the major shareholders of Center International, they dare not neglect.

"Mr. Zhang, I have to say sorry to you. If it weren't for me, you might not have been invited to Taishi by Zhang Zhongmou."

Chen Yu and Zhang Rujing met several times.

It's just that Chen Yu didn't chat with Zhang Rujing in detail a few times before, so he wasn't particularly familiar with him.

"Mr. Chen's words are out of the question."

Zhang Rujing shook his head and said, "Zhang Zhongmou spent a lot of effort in setting up this situation. Even if I don't go to Taiwan, we won't be much better now."

Zhang Rujing was not angry at being invited to Taiwan by Zhang Zhongmou.

Center International's technology is much inferior to that of Taijidian, and Taijidian has a series of methods to compete with Center International.

"I think so too."

Chen Yu also nodded.

Afterwards, the two parties sat down, and after a while of politeness, Chen Yu got to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, I had a discussion with VIA before I came here, and I plan to hand over the VIA c4 chip to the Center International OEM."

Previously, VIA's chips were manufactured by Taiji Electric.

As for why it was not handed over to Center International before, it is entirely because VIA has cooperated well with Taijidian before.

Although VIA and Universal Technology are in a cooperative relationship, VIA and Center International are not in a cooperative relationship.

This time, Chen Yu was able to transfer the foundry business of the c4 chip to Center International, which was considered a price.

Zhang Rujing can also see this.

Regardless of whether VIA is cooperating with Universal Technology or not, VIA is still a Taiwanese company after all.

VIA trusts TJD the most, not Center International.

It can be said that it took a lot of hard work for Chen Yu to hand over the c4 chip business to himself.

"Thank you Mr. Chen."

Zhang Rujing thanked him politely, but still said with a wry smile: "This time, the price reduction of Taiwan's base power is too harsh, and the c4 chip will not have much effect if we hand it over to us for OEM."

Netbooks seem to be doing well, but that's what they look like.

At present, only Universal Technology and Shenzhou Computer use the c4 chip.

Overall, this amount is also small.

Even if the foundry business is handed over to Center International, Center International will not last long.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, in addition to PC chips, we also have mobile phone chips."

Chen Yu naturally knows that this business is not big, even if it is for Center International, it can only last for a while at most.

What he brought today was not a pc chip, but a mobile phone chip.

The largest share of PC chips is controlled by Intel and AMD. Even if Universal Technology can enter, it can only share a small part of the market.

Moreover, it will be too difficult to fight countless rounds with them in the future.

But in the face of the extremely terrifying mobile phone market, it is completely different.

However, Zhang Rujing obviously didn't know what kind of mobile phone chip Huanyu Technology has, and asked with some doubts: "Mobile phone chip?"

"Mr. Chen, your company's mobile phone chips use chips from Philips and Infineon."

"It was theirs before, but recently we designed one ourselves."

"Design yourself?"

"This is our chip design, Mr. Zhang, you are an expert in the chip industry, please give us some suggestions."

Chen Yu took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Zhang Rujing.

"Let me see……"

Zhang Rujing inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.

Although he said yes, but Zhang Rujing was not very optimistic about it.

Of course he knows that many companies in China want to make chips, and many companies have already taken action.

For example, Lenovo, they have designed a chip before.

But things like chips are not something you can do if you want to.

The first is design. Generally speaking, due to domestic technology, it is difficult for you to surpass others even in chip design.

Of course, this also depends on the authorization of the arm company.

Generally, domestic companies can obtain the arm authorization framework is relatively low-level.

Can you imagine how high-level chips you can design in such a low-level architecture?

"God asked?"

Zhang Rujing was even more puzzled when he saw the word [Tianwen] on the chip design.

Obviously, Tianwen is the name of this chip.

But this is too arrogant.

Just designed a chip and named it Tianwen directly.

This time, Zhang Rujing didn't have much idea about this chip.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

An excellent chip will not become awesome just because you have such an awesome name.

Sure enough, in fact, it is.

After Zhang Rujing took a closer look at this chip called [Tianwen], Zhang Rujing found that it was a very ordinary chip.

Well, it's not that bad, but it's just average.

There are not too many shortcomings, and there are also no bright spots.

Based on Zhang Rujing's decades of experience in the semiconductor industry, he feels that even if such a chip is made, not many people will use it.
