God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 210 The Birth of the Chip

ten minutes later.

They came to the microelectronics laboratory together.

After Ni Guangnan became the chief designer of the chip, he discussed and designed several chips according to the precision of the lithography machine, but none of them could be commercialized.

In the end, they can only take a step back and choose a relatively mature 150nm process with a low defective rate to make processors!
Two kinds of personal computer processing chips, one server dedicated chip, one mobile phone chip, four chips started working at the same time!
This level of magnanimity is unique even in the world!

This not only needs to invest a lot of money, but also has something to do with ecological barriers.

Fortunately, server chips can be used to create large, even supercomputer groups.

But computer chips and mobile phone chips can be said to be completely two ways.

The personal computer chip designed by Infinity is based on the x86 complex instruction set announced by Intel Corporation, a chip designed and produced by itself, and fully compatible with Intel's standards.

The mobile phone chip uses a simplified instruction set, which is optimized for some simple instructions, and can achieve low power consumption when processing some relatively simple tasks.

At first, because of the design and manufacture of these four types of chips, the researchers in the material department were still arguing endlessly, and it was too late to finalize the design, which dragged down Ni Guangnan's work efficiency from the progress.

In order to maximize the performance of the chip, Ni Guangnan and the others had to stop and modify the design plan many times.

If Li Xi'er hadn't come forward to coordinate, both parties would have quarreled.

In the end, Chen Weidong felt that the equipment in the company's hands was advanced enough, and that it should be invested, and it must be invested!

As a result, those researchers used a lot of money to make samples of all four chips!

But now, Ni Guangnan asked Chen Weidong again, should the research focus be on computer chips or mobile phone chips?

Personally, he prefers computer chips.

Because domestic companies have a certain experience in doing this, their current chips can be launched immediately as long as they pass performance tests, environmental tests, and aging tests.

And the computer is obviously a revolutionary technological product, and it must be the mainstream product in the next few decades!
At that time, they can even gradually expand to the integrated manufacturing and sales of computer hardware, graphics cards, sound cards, motherboards, and so on.

Even if it's just a random replacement, upgrading the craftsmanship, you can earn countless profits.

His statement was accepted by most people.

Chips are the highest crystallization of wisdom in human society.

Now they have made a breakthrough. The current 150nm process is slightly ahead of the international mainstream level, and there is even a lot of room for improvement.

Although the follow-up investment will be huge, at least the dawn has been seen, and the future returns are worth looking forward to.

As for the "smart" mobile phone chips that Chen Weidong mentioned, they have no experience at all, and they need to continue to experiment, and there are still many things to improve.

It is very possible that it will not work at all in the end.

With the current technical level of Infinity, it is not difficult to copy mobile phones from companies such as Motorola, Ericsson, and Nokia.

But Chen Weidong feels that their mobile phones are not up to the word "smart" at all, and Infinity must be more advanced than them if they want to do it!
From scratch, the speed is fast.

However, having this, and being able to see it are two different things!

What's more, each of these research directions requires a huge amount of research effort.

Infinity Company has a limited number of researchers, and there are only close to 400 people in total!
More than 200 of them are still engaged in the research of materials and precision instruments, and the remaining researchers also have their own research projects.

However, computers require a large number of related research to cooperate.

According to what Ni Guangnan said, the next step is to expand from chips to motherboards, monitors, sound cards, hard drives, network equipment, and other subjects. At the same time, each subject requires specialization in order to occupy a place in the world.

Then this investment, as well as the equipment of the research force, is quite a huge number!
This decision is directly related to the future development path of Infinity Company.

Although many people have different opinions, I hope to convince the academic committee.

But with such a big decision, no one dares to make a judgment rashly.

Internal discussions became increasingly intense.

In the end, only the top management of the company, Chen Weidong and others, can make the decision!
Regarding this question, Chen Weidong did not hesitate, and wanted to say on the spot that both should be played.

But Lin Zeju immediately said: "I made a rough calculation. If we follow what they said, then the investment in the next ten years will not be less than 1000 billion at least!"

Even if it's just a process upgrade of the chip, the annual investment is huge, just like Intel, which invests tens of billions of dollars in research and development every year to maintain the leading position of the chip.

And once they participate in this competition, it is impossible to stop casually. At that time, everyone will have to fight for technology and financial resources.

It may even be sanctioned by the United States like an island country.

After all, computers and semiconductors are the foundation of their foothold. The so-called freedom of trade is simply the veil of the Banshee!

After a heated discussion.

In the end, Chen Weidong made a firm decision: "Let's go. I'll figure out a solution to the money issue. If there aren't enough people, we can also recruit. With the money in the company's current accounts, it's no problem to support tens of thousands of people!"

In the conference room, he made a final decision.

[-], April.

After conducting all-round tests on the performance of the chip, Infinity finally officially announced that it has successfully developed the "Tianji No. [-]" processor!

This is China's first general-purpose high-performance microprocessor chip with independent intellectual property rights!
The name "Tianji" is inspired by the sixth bright star of the Big Dipper, which has been a guiding star since ancient times and also represents the wisdom of the East.

The real significance of the emergence of this chip is that it started from scratch and broke the technical barriers. It is of benchmark significance for alleviating the "core shortage" in China!
Most notably.

It is manufactured using the industry's most advanced 150nm process, the core is composed of 6000 million transistors, and the processor speed reaches a maximum of 3.8 GHz!

Far beyond the Pentium 3 series processors released by Intel Corporation last year!
The special design and hyper-threading technology used in it support the highest performance desktops on the market, and can also run multiple computing applications at the same time.

What?you do not understand?

To put it more bluntly, it can increase your computer performance by more than 25%!

Therefore, once this chip was released, it shocked the world!

The eyes of countless people once again focused on the East, and on this listed company that has only been established for a few years.

Not only Intel, AMD, these chip giants were shocked, calling it impossible!Even the investment elites on Wall Street were awakened by the sudden ringing of the phone in a dark and quiet night!
Because the Hang Seng Index has gone crazy!
