Actually I just want to act

Chapter 1113 Chip Manufacturing Process

If friends and merchants are used to resistive screens, their technology will not be able to be placed on capacitive screens for the time being.

This is different from the previous life when Nokia took the initiative to go astray. It was Fang Jiming who lured them to go astray.In the previous life, Nokia had to release the first touch-screen mobile phone 2008 in October 10 in the face of Apple's fierce offensive.However, because Nokia, which firmly believes in resistive screens, still chooses resistive screens, it cannot actually delay its own decline.Even the 5800 two years later is still a resistive screen, which shows Nokia's stubbornness.

You know, Apple 2010 was released in 4!One can imagine how stubborn Nokia is.

It was not until the release of Apple 4 that Nokia felt pressured, and it had to release its first capacitive screen mobile phone, the Nokia X4-6, four months later.

But at this time, Apple's climate has become, and with the bald eagle escorting behind, Nokia can only hate the market, and finally goes bankrupt and sells itself to Microsoft... So far, Nokia, the king of the feature phone era, has fallen, and the legend is endless. Again.

This can be said to be Nokia's own death.

In fact, the rise of Apple is completely caused by Nokia's strategic mistakes.

Don't look at the peak of Nokia's sales in 2007. In fact, due to the impact of Apple, it has fallen from the high point.It is true that the first Apple 2G had many problems and sales were not good.But in 2008, the second-generation Apple 3G was released, and in 2009 the third-generation Apple 3GS was released...

This has an obvious impact on Nokia's sales, especially high-end models.

But Nokia is still immersed in the glory of the past and cannot extricate itself. In the end, it can only be boiled in warm water with frogs and strangled in a dream by Apple.

In fact, if Nokia had reacted faster at that time, even if it had launched the first capacitive screen mobile phone in 2008, it would not have ended up in the future even if it had competed with Apple. Unfortunately, there was no such thing.

Xu Zhuhua vaguely understood Fang Zhiming's idea, but he didn't think this strategy would work.

After all, everyone is in the business world, so it is impossible to be so brainless. Your mobile phone is selling well, why don't you learn from you?

Of course, the sales of Shenzhou mobile phones have been rising steadily, and it is normal for many people not to want to imitate.After all, Likua is the number one mobile phone seller this year.Manufacturers all over the world are scrambling to imitate Likua's models, especially the copycat phones in Huaqiangbei, Shencheng City, which are even more powerful than Likua mobile phones.

"Fang Dong, so we are the first to start the touch screen era, right?"

Xu Zhuhua thought of a reason to convince himself, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to accept why a full touch-screen phone should be made.

Fang Jiming nodded and said, "Yes, even if we can't lead the trend in the first year, in the second, third, and fourth years... as long as we keep doing this, the world will be rewritten by us sooner or later."

In fact, Xu Zhuhua is also dubious. In fact, he has also experienced the prototype of the capacitive screen. To be honest, it is so-so.Ke Fang said clearly that this is because the performance of the chip is not strong enough, if the performance of the chip goes above 400MHZ, then the performance of the mobile phone is sufficient.

Xu Zhuhua felt that Fang Jiming was joking.

You know, the latest chip developed by China is 279MHZ.The world's most advanced chip will only reach 300MHZ, and consumes a lot of power, which is not suitable for mobile phone commercial use.It may take one or two years to break through 400MHZ, or even only break through 350MHZ.

If Fang Jiming knew Xu Zhuhua's conjecture, he would definitely be shocked.

After all, when the first Apple 2G was released, it used the chip of the dead star, using the 90nm process, ARM11 core and PowerVR MBX-Lite GPU, the processor frequency is 412MHz, with higher performance and lower power consumption. characteristic.

The main reason is that Xu Zhuhua underestimated the development of chips.

If it breaks through to the 90-nanometer process, it is certain to improve the performance of the chip.

Although there is no way to have such an advanced lithography machine in China, as long as the technology breaks through, then TSMC in Wanwan or Wanwan MK can produce chips for Shenzhou-there is no reason not to do business!

It only takes one year to break through the 90nm process, and after half a year of practical demonstration, the corresponding chip can be designed.When the tape-out is successful, chips above 400MHZ will definitely be within reach.

If it breaks through to the 45nm process, then the processor performance of 800MHZ can also be achieved.

Therefore, the process is the best way to improve chip performance.

Of course, chip design is also important.

In this regard, it has to be said that the country still lags behind the bald eagle.Not to mention, even.

The core layout of Apple's A4 processor was similar to that of the Lost Star S5PC110, but Apple optimized and customized the A4 to a great extent, discarding the unnecessary modules of the Apple 4 or iPad, and increasing the size of the second processor. level cache to improve performance.Therefore, A4 shined brilliantly on Apple 4, and finally won the high-end market of mobile phones.

实际上，苹果的A4处理器和丧星S5PC110都采用了Cortex A8构架，但是苹果的A4处理器的L2二级缓存达到了640KB，而丧星的S5PC110的L2还是512KB。

The most critical part is the graphics card. Although the PowerVR SGX 4 display core used by the Apple A535 processor is not as good as the PowerVR SGX 5 of the Lost Star S110PC540, the Apple A4 processor uses a direct connection between the display core and the RAM. This huge difference is quite large. Discrete video memory and integrated graphics share video memory (RAM) for discrete graphics cards.The result is self-evident, the Apple A4 processor has gained a higher performance improvement.

This is the strength of Apple, and it will not work if you refuse to accept it.

Although Bald Eagle no longer has the ability to manufacture chips, most of them rely on Wanwan TSMC and Losing Star to manufacture chips, but this design strength will definitely beat all friends.

It is precisely because of Apple's A-series processors that each generation of Apple can lead the sales of high-end mobile phones. In the end, Apple took 80% of the profits in the global mobile phone market.

Fang Jiming understands the importance of chips, otherwise he would not have independently developed chips, and tried his best to build high-end lithography machines.

It's a pity, it's very powerful, even if Fang Jiming is Sun Houzi, he can't do anything about it.

Just like a math problem, if you don't know it, you won't.It's the same with chip manufacturing, you just can't help it.

But, it's not too late to plan now.

Just like Huawei in the previous life, even if you can still design tapes!As long as the design level is maintained, the future can be reversed.

What Fang Jiming did, Xu Zhuhua understood a little, but didn't understand a little.

It's like designing a full touch screen mobile phone now, isn't this going against the trend!
Fortunately, it is only a high-end model, which may sell well in the Europa market, and Xu Zhuhua has no great resistance.Give it a try, what if it is really popular in the market?To be the first person to eat crabs, you will either be caught bloody, or your mouth will be full of oil!
