Actually I just want to act

Chapter 689 Are you taking too big steps?

Fang Jiming is very clear that mobile phones are the main battlefield of the Internet in the future, and whoever can enter this field first is equivalent to controlling the opportunity.This is true whether it is software or hardware.

But it is still not easy to achieve this step, because the mainstream mobile phone system in the future has not been determined, it is meaningless for you to develop software, and it is meaningless to not have a system if you have hardware.

So the first step in making a mobile phone is to make a system.

This system does not require the ability of an Apple in the previous life, but it is not like Android running on Linux, which requires too much hardware.

This is actually related to the "greediness" of Android. Originally, Android used a virtual machine to make software programs written by users run across operating system platforms.That is to say, no matter whether the program is written on windows, linux or Apple OS operating system, as long as the same virtual machine system is installed on these operating systems, the software can run normally without modification.

But this brings about a great reduction in operating speed, which increases the cost of hardware.But this idea has not been realized, because other operating systems do not use this virtual machine system of Android.This has become a failure of the Android system, causing problems such as system complexity, poor stability, and poor security.

Therefore, Fang Jiming instructed Shenzhou Lab not to consider compatibility when developing mobile phone systems, but to directly develop microkernels.

In professional terms, a microkernel is a microkernel. The microkernel structure consists of a very simple hardware abstraction layer and a set of key primitives or system calls; these primitives only include the necessary Several parts; such as thread management, address space and inter-process communication etc.

The goal of the microkernel is to separate the implementation of system services from the basic operating rules of the system.Such a design simplifies the design of the innermost part of the kernel.The failure of a service component will not lead to the crash of the whole system. What the kernel needs to do is to restart this component without affecting other parts.

In other words, the microkernel structure will greatly increase the speed of the mobile phone, without the need to use a virtual machine like Android in the previous life.Although Android has removed the virtual machine later, it is still visually "stuck" due to the fact that it still consumes too much hardware and the response speed is inconsistent.

In fact, Android is not stuck, but because in contrast, Apple responds first to the page, while Android responds first to the program, which causes visual difference.Fortunately, after removing the virtual machine, Android has increased hardware optimization, and the situation is much better.It's just that consumers are preconceived, and Apple's chip CPU and GPU are powerful, so everyone thinks that Apple is better than Android.

It's no wonder, after all, Apple's chips are ahead of Snapdragon and Kirin, which must be admitted.And Apple's chip is the biggest selling point, it can improve the speed of the mobile phone very well.So even if Apple uses sub-level screens, parts, etc., it will not affect its performance, and it can still be sold at a high price.

However, even if Apple uses sub-level parts, that is the difference between the latest parts and mature parts. People just don't use the most expensive and latest parts, but the materials are still top-notch.This has also led to the fact that in the high-end machine market, Apple is thriving, and even the dead stars cannot catch up.
However, in terms of chip design, Fang Jiming still wants to take the lead, maybe he can force Yingjiang to death and cause Yingjiang's semiconductor industry to collapse.

It's just that that's the best result, and Ying Jiang won't just wait to die, maybe he will launch a cure in advance or something.

If you want to gain the right to speak in the semiconductor industry, you must bypass Western patents.

Therefore, carbon-based chips still need to be developed in advance. As long as they are researched, silicon-based chips will have no advantages.

It's just that everything is still a castle in the air, and all this will take too long, too long, and a long, long way to go.

Fang Jiming told the company under his name about the future situation of mobile phones. Although they didn't think it would be like this, they took active actions - no way, Internet companies are now relying on Monternet to survive!

Jiang Xingrui listened to Fang Jiming's discussion on mobile Internet access again, and he still sighed in his heart. Finally, he could only hang up the phone after listening silently.

No way, no one can be as optimistic as Fang Jiming!
After talking on the phone with Jiang Xingrui, Fang Jiming directly called Xu Zhuhua.

"Hey, old Xu, what's the matter with the mobile phone chip?"

The chip that Fang Jiming is going to make is actually not high-end, because it is carried out in two lines at the same time, one is a self-developed architecture, and the other is based on the ARM architecture.Needless to say, the self-developed architecture is too difficult, and it is estimated that there will be no results in a few years.But chips based on the ARM architecture can't wait.

Xu Zhuhua quickly said: "Director Fang, the laboratory is already in the final demonstration stage, and tape-out will start in a few days."

"Will it be successful this time?"

Fang Jiming was a little depressed. The tapes had failed three times, and tens of millions were just in vain.

You know, tens of millions, how much Fang Jiming can do!

Among other things, Fang Jiming only spent 3000 million for a courier company alone.

Xu Zhuhua was a little embarrassed, and said: "Fang Dong, you also know that this technological thing... is a bit accidental, but the laboratory said that they already know why it failed."

Fang Jiming sighed, and said: "Although I know that this talent cannot be achieved overnight. But after learning so many lessons, haven't you produced two or three talents?"

Xu Zhuhua's pressure suddenly became a little bit heavier: "Fang Dong, it's because we didn't work hard enough..."

"It's not about not working hard, it's about time! The semiconductor situation in the world is about to change. If we fall behind now, we will never even think about entering this field in the future."

Fang Jiming was not talking alarmistly, but what happened in his previous life.

It can be said that Huawei is the last stubborn of Chinese semiconductors, and Kirin chips have done their best.

Being controlled by others is just so aggrieved.

As for other brands?Either MediaTek or Qualcomm, there is almost no third choice.What, you mean Lost Star?It doesn't use its own chips very much!

Although Xu Zhuhua didn't have Fang Jiming's sense of urgency, he also felt the red ocean of the mobile phone market, but he couldn't understand why he had to enter the mobile phone market? "Fang Dong, we haven't turned on the computer yet, so the mobile phone is involved, isn't it... a bit too big a step?"
