Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 321 Shanhai M-4 chip, a mature 10nm process, takes the lead for the first time!
Midsummer comes suddenly.

The college entrance examination is over, and I bid farewell to the life of Shushan Tihai.

Young and immature teenagers are ushering in the longest vacation in their lives, spending their youth wantonly on the basketball court in the morning, the garden in the afternoon and the commercial street in the evening.

The scorching sun shone on the asphalt road, and there was a hot breath.

"Mengmeng, the temperature is too high today, you should go home and rest for a while, and come back later to help."

The mother looked at her daughter's glowing red cheeks, and said distressedly.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the heat."

Jiang Mengmeng shook his head, the anthropomorphic Ai sound effect came from the speaker of Moss glasses.

Two months ago, my father went to Kangaroo Island to deliver food to pay for her tuition.

Although every time we talk, my father always looks cheerful, and keeps telling the mother not to be too frugal. He can make money there, but in a foreign country, how can he not suffer.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the economic pressure of my father, my mother set up a simple food stall - Teppanyaki Tofu in the open space at the back door of the community.

Fry the tender tofu until golden on both sides, spread the secret sauce, and sprinkle with lush coriander. The salty, spicy and moderate taste is very popular among students and migrant workers.

The business is also booming, earning 200 yuan a day, but it's dog days right now, standing in front of the stove, like a small grilled fish, the sweat on his face can't be stopped at all.

"Beep~beep~beep!"

Suddenly the phone in my pocket rang!

Jiang Mengmeng glanced at the calling number, then chose to answer the call with Moss Ai glasses: "Hello, Teacher Zhang."

"Student Jiang Mengmeng, congratulations, you are the No.1 in science this year, with a total score of 687!"

Teacher Zhang directly explained the purpose of coming, with a gentle tone.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you!"

Jiang Mengmeng immediately showed a pleasant expression. This score is enough to apply for HKUST, and her dream can finally come true.

"Mom, my college entrance examination score is out, 687 points!"

Jiang Mengmeng turned around immediately and told his mother the good news.

"Wow! That's amazing! Girl!"

The mother put down the shovel excitedly, the excitement was beyond words, and she grinned loudly, but her eyes gradually turned red, stained with tears of joy, and fell down "shua shua".

Seeing this, Jiang Mengmeng felt a sore nose, and stepped forward to hug his mother.

a few days later.

The search term "glasses sister 687" rushed into the trending search in one fell swoop, and netizens discovered that the little girl who was popular on Weibo before had such a high score in the test, and she really has the qualifications to study in the University of Science and Technology.

"I also want to apply to HKUST, but they say that the credit score of Zhifubao cannot be counted!"

"I love it, I love it, what a lovely sister, you need to be good-looking, you need to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable!"

"Chen Hansheng, the senior of the 15th School of Computer Science, watched it with his real name. You may wish to leave your contact information. When the school starts, the senior will receive you in person."

"Sister, you must never give it! You don't look like a good person upstairs!"

Jiang Mengmeng ignored the enthusiasm on the Internet, and still went out early and returned late every day to help his mother take care of the food stall.

……

After Chen Heyu found out, he asked the heads of more than a dozen companies, including Kangaroo Flash, Future Technology, Shanhai Microelectronics, Shanhai Film and Television, Super Factory, Moss Electronics, etc., to start counting the college entrance examination scores of employees' children.

As long as the total score exceeds one score line, the company will reward 10 Chinese coins;

A reward of 5 Chinese coins will be awarded for exceeding the score line of the second book;

A reward of 1 Chinese coins will be awarded for exceeding the score line of three books;

And write this regulation directly into the employee handbook and become a fixed part of salary and benefits.

After dealing with this matter, he pushed open the door of the office, walked into the elevator room, and went straight to the lobby on the first floor.

"Old Mo, send me to Shanhai Microelectronics R&D Center."

He instructed Ding Mo.

"Okay, boss."

Ding Mo got up quickly and waved back. A few well-built men in suits silently followed behind.

After the establishment of Shanhai Security, thousands of people have been recruited successively. They have rich military experience and have undergone professional training.

Elites with strong physical skills and first-class driving skills are sent to the beautiful country to receive more complex and comprehensive knowledge of shooting, fighting, first aid and medical treatment.

After spending more than half a year, Lao Mo selected eight of the best candidates to serve as Chen Heyu's personal bodyguards.

The blue Mulsanne leads the way, followed by two BMW SUVs.

Soon.

The headquarters building of Shanhai Microelectronics slowly came into view.

Noyce, Wu Maozhe, and Xie Shengdong went deep into the front line of chip manufacturing to help the factory improve the process and improve the yield rate of 10nm chips.

In the blink of an eye, four months have passed, and finally some results have been achieved.

Although Noyce has designed a 10-nanometer chip at Hotong, design and manufacturing are two different things, because chip circuit diagrams can be designed based on theory and simulation without being limited by the actual manufacturing process.

However, in actual production, it is necessary to consider the limitations of process technology, such as photolithography technology, deposition technology, etching technology, etc. These technical shortcomings may have an impact on the circuit structure and performance.

At the same time, material deviations and changes in process parameters will cause manufacturing tolerances, resulting in circuit performance that is different from the design expectations, requiring more optimization and adjustments.

In addition, the resolution of lithography technology and the physical characteristics of materials will also affect the transistor structure and computing performance of the chip.

Just like the Pickone Snapdragon 825 chip, the design draft was published half a year ago, but mass production has not yet been achieved.

The core reason is that no company can provide high-quality and reliable OEM services.

Companies such as Sanxing, Bay Semiconductor, Intel, etc., only master the 14-nanometer production process, and the 10-nanometer manufacturing process is not mature at all.

After getting off the car, Chen Heyu went straight into the hall on the first floor and met He Tingbo head-on.

"Boss, good afternoon, I'm going to the factory now."

He Tingbo explained.

"Well, I see, Noyce and Old Wu, are they in the office or the laboratory?"

Chen Heyu asked casually.

"In the packaging and testing department of the R&D center, the first batch of samples of the Shanhai M-4 chip has just been produced, and we are busy testing performance and power consumption indicators."

He Tingbo replied.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Chen Heyu nodded slightly, and couldn't help but feel anticipation, Ye Youcheng is fast enough.

The company's 10nm production process is not yet mature enough, so he built the Shanhai M-10 based on the 4nm process design.

When he stepped into the packaging and testing department, a group of people were surrounding a logic analyzer, capturing and analyzing the signal level, timing and data flow inside the chip, so as to detect and debug logic errors and verify processing in the chip device function.

There are also oscilloscopes, signal generators, pyroelectric microscopes and power analyzers next to them. These are important physical tools that need to be used in the chip design and testing process, and can provide detailed data and analysis results to help chip designers Evaluate and improve the performance of chip processors.

Hearing the movement at the door, everyone slowly raised their heads, seeing that it was Chen Heyu, they greeted with a smile.

"boss!"

"Mr. Chen!"

"Sit down and tell me, what's going on?"

Chen Heyu asked straight to the point.

"Wu, tell me."

Noyce humbly said.

"Of course Xiaoye has to come, he is the chief designer."

Wu Maozhe waved his hand, declined with a smile, and pushed Ye Youcheng out.

"Then Ye Gong, tell me, are you satisfied with your new work?"

Chen Heyu didn't take it seriously, and joked.

"Boss, just call me Xiaoye."

Ye Youcheng scratched his messy hair, and said with a naive smile, his expression was a little restrained, which was very different from the star chip designer at the chip conference.

Only when it comes to professional skills, is that high-spirited genius!

"Old Wu, let me hear you call someone Xiaoye next time, and I will deduct your bonus. Be more polite and call Ye Gong!"

Chen Heyu patted Ye Youcheng on the shoulder, and criticized Wu Maozhe.

"Don't you still call me Old Wu?"

Wu Maozhe pouted, not convinced.

The rest of the people covered their mouths and laughed, seeing Old Wu deflated, they looked completely gloating.

"Boss, it is Shanhai M-4, which adopts the self-developed 64-bit core architecture Kimi, this time completely abandoning ARM's Cortex architecture."

Ye Youcheng picked up a microprocessor and placed it in front of Chen Heyu.

"In terms of CPU performance: it is equipped with a new generation of Kimi, and adopts a three-level architecture of 1+3+4.

其中，1个Kimi-X1核心高达2.84GHz，具备卓越的单核性能；3个Kimi-A60核心提供高效的多核性能；4个Kimi-A55核心则用于轻负荷任务，从而降低功耗。

In terms of GPU performance: NVIDIA Tegra K16 is integrated, which has significantly improved graphics rendering, game performance and video processing, and supports higher refresh rates and higher resolution displays.

In terms of AI and machine learning acceleration: Equipped with Jetson TX16 AI engine, it can provide powerful AI computing capabilities for mobile phones, support efficient neural network reasoning acceleration, and can be used for AI applications such as image recognition, speech recognition and augmented reality..."

Ye Youcheng said calmly.

It can be said that Shanhai M-4 is Shanhai Microelectronics, a truly cross-generation product, at least in terms of performance and power consumption, it has reached the flagship level of Intel and Haotong.

"Old Wu, what is the yield rate of the 10nm process now?"

Chen Heyu turned his head and asked.

"72%, still not 80%."

Wu Maozhe said with a little regret.

"It's enough, let's produce a batch first and supply it to Rice Technology."

Chen Heyu nodded, 72% good product rate, compared with 53% half a year ago, a full increase of nearly 20%.

In a short period of time, lithography technology, chemical vapor deposition technology and etching technology cannot make major breakthroughs, and the yield rate will naturally not increase significantly.

"Let the packaging and testing department submit a performance test report, which needs to cover processing performance, floating-point computing performance, multi-threading performance and performance data. By the way, send a copy to Mr. Lei of Rice."

Chen Heyu confessed.

"Boss, I see."

The person in charge of the packaging and testing department agreed.

Subsequently.

Chen Heyu gathered a group of people and had a short meeting. After the meeting, he called Rebs and informed him in advance that he planned to install the Shanhai M-4 chip on Rice's new mobile phone next year.

As for the more mature Shanhai M-3 chip processor, it will be used in Mimi's mid-range phones.

"Has the land for the rice car factory been approved yet?"

he asked casually.

"Secretary Wu intervened and won 1400 acres of industrial land. The construction will start next month. I plan to build a battery factory first. I will cooperate with Lucheng Jiu'an Automobile Company in the early stage to achieve mass production as soon as possible."

Rebs replied softly.

"1400 mu? Is it enough?"

Chen Heyu asked back.

The rice car factory settled in Lucheng, and his wishes were mixed in. Secretary Wu was willing to actively assist, help with the process, and settle the land, supporting facilities, water and electricity supply, and preferential policies, which were also key factors.

"It is enough. If it is bigger, the cost of land is too high, and it will also reduce the company's net profit margin accordingly."

Rebus thought for a moment, then said leisurely.

"Okay, if there is progress, then synchronize with me."

After Chen Heyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Mr. He, make an appointment with Lu Lei, the president of Apple Greater China, for me, and tell him that there is a big deal to discuss."

Before Chen Heyu left, he asked He Tingbo to make arrangements.

According to his understanding, in the current world, most semiconductor companies and mobile phone manufacturers with independent chip research and development capabilities have chip design solutions involving 10 nanometers in their hands, but they have not been able to find a suitable foundry.

Lao Mo drove him back to the villa area, he pushed the door and got out of the car, only to see Cha Mi Pi Dian Pi Dian Pi Dian Pi Dian Pi Dian Pi Dian come over.

"Wow~ woof!"

"Stupid dogs know how to bark."

Chen Heyu kicked it away in disgust, took off his coat while walking, and hung it on the hanger casually.

"You're back? Sit down and eat."

Luo Wenwen said with a smile.

"I went to Shanhai Microelectronics, and the Shanhai M-4 chip has finally been produced. It is the last step before the domestic mobile phone realizes its own chip."

He washed his hands, sat aside, and chatted.

"Dami and Lianxiang will definitely support you. If you can win Huayao, the market in Dahua District will definitely be fine."

Luo Wenwen thought for a while and said softly.

"Huiyao? I guess it's too bad. Most likely, I will choose to design it myself, and then find Shanhai Microelectronics to manufacture it."

Chen Heyu affirmed that he knew Bao Jianbai and Yu Dong's behavior style very well.

"Unless there is a huge technical gap between their self-developed chip and Shanhai M-4 in terms of performance and battery life, these people can see the reality clearly."

Chen Heyu added.

"Then wait a little longer, the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

Luo Wenwen encouraged.

The IPO prospectus of 32 Café has passed the review, and with the efforts of Li Ran, Wu Jingjing and others, it will be successfully listed at the end of June.

"After 32 Café goes public, leave the daily operation and management to Li Ran, and take this opportunity to take a good rest."

Chen Heyu persuaded.

"Why? You want me to be your little wife at home."

Luo Wenwen squinted her eyes like a beautiful crescent moon.

"I'm afraid you are working too hard, you see we have worked hard for so long, but there is no movement at all, it's better to recuperate for a while.

Starting tomorrow, I will take you for a run together, saving you from sleeping in all day. "

Chen Heyu said with a straight face.

"Is it okay not to run?"

Luo Wenwen pouted her lips and said softly.

"no!"

Chen Heyu tapped her on the forehead lightly, persuading her, "It's better to exercise, otherwise, sitting in the office every day, the heart and lung function will get worse and worse. I'm afraid that in the future, you will leave earlier than me when you are [-] or [-]."

"Bah, bah, bah! You left early!"

Luo Wenwen retorted, but she also knew in her heart that what Chen Heyu said was right, so she nodded slightly, as a sign of agreement.

……

The next morning, the east was white.

Chen Heyu carried Luo Wenwen into the bathroom and urged her to brush her teeth and wash her face. When she was in a daze, he led her to run for five kilometers abruptly.

"The foundation is not bad, just keep going."

He commented with a smile.

"That's right, my hands and feet are a little sore. You can give me a massage when you go back."

Luo Wenwen said coquettishly.

Chen Heyu didn't speak, just rubbed her head lightly, took out his mobile phone, and saw the message from He Tingbo, he felt a certainty in his heart.

Within a few days, Apple quietly sent the electronic technical documentation of the A11 Bionic chip to Shanhai Microelectronics.

It didn't cause the slightest disturbance in the outside world, but it exploded in the circle instantly!

Shanhai Microelectronics actually took the lead and mastered the manufacturing process of 10-nanometer chips. The heads of companies such as Sanxing and GSMC were in a complicated mood for a while.

"Boss, should we hand over the Snapdragon 825 business to the other party?"

The president of Haotong Dahua District reported to the headquarters.

"Wait for now and see the direction of the wind."

Chairman of Pickup, An Meng said in a low voice.

"I'm afraid not! Sanxing is on the way to Shanhai Microelectronics headquarters!"

The president of Dahua District smiled wryly.

"Walter?!"

An Meng froze for a moment, deeply worried.
