Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 60 Kirin 1
In April, the CPU chip design team of Wujiang Microelectronics established an independent subsidiary named Godson Design Company.

The first chip brand is: [Kirin].

In a spacious and bright laboratory, members of Godson Design Company are testing and analyzing the data of Kirin 1 and Z80 chips.

The first CPU Kirin 1 they designed is the Z80 chip.

"Z80 has 9000 transistors and supports as many as 158 assembly instructions, while Kirin 1 has 1.2 transistors and supports as many as 256 assembly instructions. The performance is much stronger than Z80!"

Just as a researcher finished speaking, at this moment, a man walked in carefully holding a cardboard box outside the door, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Zhou Qing, what are you holding in your hand? Be so careful, for fear of falling!" Someone asked.

Zhou Qing put the box on the table and replied: "This is a 32-bit chip ARM-1 recently released by the British Acorn Computer Company. This chip is the same as our Kirin chip, and it is also based on the RISC ) and designed!"

It turned out to be a reduced instruction set (RISC) chip! ! !
When everyone heard the words, they were shocked and came over one after another.

Since the complex instruction set (CISC) was developed earlier than the simplified instruction set (RISC), most chips on the market are complex instruction set chips, such as Intel chips.

When everyone heard that some companies also used the reduced instruction set to develop chips, they couldn't help feeling that they were not alone.

"Zhou Qing, quickly open the box, let's take a look at what a 32-bit RISC chip looks like!"

They have only designed 8-bit RISC chips, so they are very curious about 32-bit RISC chips.

Zhou Qing slowly opened the carton, and a boxy chip smaller than a matchbox lay quietly there. The outside was packaged, and the specific structure could not be seen clearly.

Everyone couldn't wait to pick up this ARM1 chip and put it on the machine in the laboratory for testing.

Soon, the ARM1 data came out.

ARM1 has 25000 transistors, belongs to 3um process, runs at 6MHz, adopts 84mm package, and is 30mm wide. The ARM1 motherboard is a yellow ceramic disc capacitor.

If you look closely at the ARM1 chip, you can see its functional blocks, such as 100-byte registers and a basic 32-bit ALU.

After reading these data, everyone was amazed.

Zhao Ye walked in at this moment.

Seeing everyone chatting about this ARM1 with envy, Zhao Ye just glanced at it lightly, and then said: "This ARM1 chip is indeed excellent, but the next Kirin 2 we develop will not be worse than it. Kirin 2 will jump Over 16-bit chips, directly develop 32-bit chips!"

If it wasn't for training these people, Zhao Ye could have designed a 32-bit chip by himself, but the workload was too much.

In the future, more advanced CPUs will be designed, which cannot be accomplished by one person. This requires a good chip design team.

It is quite necessary to cultivate talents.

Kirin 1 can be regarded as their hands-on production under the leadership of Zhao Ye.

The chip that can really be applied to PCs depends on the 32-bit Kirin 2.
However, the performance of Kirin 1 is also quite powerful, surpassing Z80, enough to be applied in many fields.

Next is Zhao Ye's class session.

He has studied this ARM1 extremely thoroughly in his previous life.

Zhao Ye walked to the blackboard in the laboratory and began to explain the design principles and methods of ARM1.

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and when Zhao Ye talked about some important points, he quickly took notes.

Seeing how eager everyone was to learn, Zhao Ye couldn't help but secretly nodded.

People in the eighties and 90s grew up hard, are diligent and studious, and cherish the opportunity to learn very much. College students generally have real talents and real learning. In the 21st century, university enrollment is expanding, and many people go to university just to dawdle.Graduation often equals unemployment.

Zhao Ye is really satisfied with the Godson design team.

Their progress is very fast, and they take the initiative to work and study overtime almost every day until late at night.

If this was left in the previous life, it would be basically impossible, and very few people would take the initiative to work overtime, and they would not pay overtime pay.

The improvement of the BG-101 stepper lithography machine is also going very smoothly, after all, there are more people and more power.

The Kirin 1 chip was produced on a small scale in the laboratory using the improved BG-101 stepper lithography machine, and the yield rate of chip production exceeded 87%.Academicians such as Huang Kun are currently writing production processes based on laboratory research and development, and will then conduct trial mass production in the fab.

In the past few months, the changes in the domestic semiconductor industry can be described as thriving.

But in the final analysis, China's foundation is better.

In the early 80s, China's semiconductor technology was still at the forefront of the world.

In the past, there was a lack of funds, equipment and materials. No matter how hard the scientific researchers worked, they were just a clever woman.

The wisdom and diligence of the Chinese people are engraved in their bones.

In the past few months, Zhao Ye couldn't help admiring the hard-working and assiduous spirit of the scientific researchers, especially the older generation of scientists, such as Academician Huang Kun, the founder of China's semiconductor technology, who is 76 years old. Yes, and stay in the lab with a group of young people all day doing research.

If Zhao Ye hadn't been worried about his physical condition and forced him to rest, he might have moved the bed into the laboratory and lived in it directly.

……

……

"The trial mass production of Kirin 1 is about to begin, and it's time for Wujiang to enter the game console market!"

Zhao Ye stood in front of the window, looked at the big osmanthus tree outside the window, and muttered to himself.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Zhao Ye shouted loudly.

Immediately, secretary Liu Yinyin pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss, the construction of Wujiang Computer Training School has been completed, and a school opening ceremony will be held in a week. Principal Chen Guoliang invites you to participate in this school opening ceremony!"

"Well, taking part in such an important event as the school's founding ceremony is a matter of course. Is there anything else?"

"Yes! At present, the trainees of the Wujiang Imagine typewriter training class have graduated one after another. So far, there are more than 600 people. Imagine printing shops are located in various large, medium and small cities across the country. Lu Maoshi, the head of the Wujiang Investment Department, has worked hard and finally Negotiations with the government were successful, and the investment plans for Shandong Sun Paper and Shanghai Peony Ink Factory were realized.”

Nowadays, it is very difficult to acquire a state-owned enterprise. If it is not for Wujiang Company's reputation and the ability to go to Tianting, it may be difficult to complete this investment plan.

Zhao Ye couldn't help showing joy when he heard this.

Lu Maoshi had reported to him before that he had taken a fancy to Shandong Sun Paper and Shanghai Peony Ink Factory, and felt that these two companies had more potential for development.

Zhao Ye also had to admire Lu Maoshi's vision.

Shandong Sun Paper and Shanghai Peony Ink Factory were both leaders in the domestic industry in 2024 in the previous life.

Now it only costs 250 million yuan to become a major shareholder of these two companies.Among them, it cost 100 million to invest in Sun Paper and 150 million to invest in Shanghai Peony Ink Factory.

Wujiang's shareholding ratio in these two companies has reached 49%.

In the future, Wujiang will also find ways to increase capital and completely control these two companies.

"Boss, if it's okay, then I'll be leaving." After Liu Yinyin reported, she was ready to leave.

"Well, go about your business."

Zhao Ye was in a good mood. He walked to his desk and sat down. He continued to think about the game console. He had an amazing idea in his mind, which was to overthrow the mountain of Nintendo...
