Daguo Technology started from the Shanzhai system

Chapter 274 Super god ARM v7 architecture!

And if Xia Ke Academy is really willing to let a few Da Xia academicians join in the research and development of lithography machines, then Lin Chen may be able to use his status as the sponsor to ask them to help solve the research and development problems of mobile phone screens and mobile phone lenses.

Of course, even if they are unwilling to help, in solving the problem of lithography machines, Sugon Technology can also obtain a lot of tangible and intangible technical patent accumulation.

Because the lithography machine is called the jewel in the crown of the semiconductor industry, it is the pinnacle of technology in various industries, and the manufacture of a lithography machine requires tens of thousands of precision parts.

If the lithography machine is really solved, the technical patents born to solve the problem may be applied to other things.

For example, if you want to solve the problem of lithography machine lenses, you need to require the glass to have the characteristics of ultra-clear light transmission, high temperature resistance, and deformation resistance.

Moreover, the production of qualified glass does not mean the end. After that, the glass needs to be roughly processed, then polished and ultra-precision polished to form a concave-convex shape that meets the design requirements, and finally coated on the glass and so on.

In the process of solving the lithography machine lens, Sugon Technology naturally obtained high-definition glass and the technology of ultra-precision glass processing and polishing!
So even if they are not willing to help Sugon Technology in things other than lithography machines, Sugon Technology will also obtain a lot of technology patents during the research and development process.

So lithography machine is a big project, if Sugon Technology really solves the problem of lithography machine.

Then the accompanying material technology, precision processing technology and even other technologies will also achieve huge breakthroughs and accumulations.

But the future can only be known in the future, and then Lin Chen flew back to Tianjin.

After all, the development of lithography machines in cooperation with Xia Ke Academy will not be implemented in a short while.

Under such circumstances, Lin Chen's task is naturally to focus on the research and development of mobile phone screens and mobile phone lenses.

……

Time flies by like this.

In the following time, as time went by, the news about the rice mobile phone also gradually subsided, and the news about the global mobile phone industry also calmed down.

However, a few days later, on January 2004, 1, Nokia and ARM held a joint news conference.

In this press conference, Nokia and ARM publicly announced that Nokia has invested USD 4 million in ARM, officially becoming one of the major shareholders of ARM.

Among them, the representative of ARM publicly announced in the press conference that the 4 million US dollars will be mainly used for research and development to accelerate the next-generation ARMv7 architecture, and strive to release the ARMv2004 architecture in the first half of 7.

In addition, the representative of ARM also announced that the 4 million US dollars will be developed as soon as possible after the completion of the development of the next-generation ARMv7 architecture.

Among them, the representative of ARM company roughly deduced the performance of this ARMv7 architecture.

It is publicly claimed that the mobile phone processor using the ARMv7 architecture can easily adjust the frequency between 600MHz and 1GHz.

In addition, the ARMv7 architecture also uses super NEON technology, which can increase the DSP and media processing capabilities by nearly 4 times!
Therefore, the performance of the processor core using the RMv7 architecture will be the undisputed No. [-] in the world!

In this regard, the people at the press conference naturally did not know what the ARMv7 architecture meant, or what the ARMv7 architecture represented in previous lives.

This ARMv7 architecture was officially released in October 2004 in history, and it is the most classic generation of instruction set architecture in history.

It can be said that it was from this generation of architecture that ARM officially started its glorious era.

Since then, ARM has officially launched professional and detailed attacks in various fields, such as cortex-A in the mobile field, cortex-M in the embedded field, and cortex-R in the real-time field.

Among them, the most famous smartphone processor cortex-A8 core is the world's first mobile phone processor core using ARMv7 architecture.

This cortex-A8 core is quite classic, and it was officially released on October 2005, 10 according to the history of the previous life.

It can be said that in the early days of the birth of smart phones, those smart phones all used the cortex-A8 core!

Therefore, the smartphones of Sanxing, Motorola, HTC, Coolpad, Meizu, Lianxiang and other mobile phone manufacturers all used this cortex-A8 core.

This shows the horror of the ARMv7 architecture and the cortex-A8 mobile phone processor core!
It can be said that this joint conference does not seem to affect anything, but it actually has a considerable impact on the future.

At this time, ARM has Nokia's US$4 million in financing, and then the advancement of the ARMv7 architecture will be accelerated several times.

Moreover, the launch time of the public version of the cortex-A7 core developed on the basis of the ARMv8 architecture will definitely be accelerated, and the release time may exceed the previous life.

在前世cortex-A8内核正式发布时间是2005年10月4日，此时在这4亿美元的金钱刺激下，研发时间肯定会加快许多。

As for process matching, the cortex-A8 core itself uses 90nm process technology and 65nm process technology.

It can be said that both the current 90nm process technology and the future 65nm process technology are quite applicable!

So Suguang Technology is in danger!
短期内有去年2003年年末发布，基于ARMv6架构的A.R.M1136J-S内核，长期有基于ARMv7架构的cortex-A8内核。

In this case, relying solely on the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture can only compete with the ARMv6 architecture. If you want to defeat the stronger ARMv7 architecture, you can only rely on updating and enhancing the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture.

But the sad thing is that it is useless to simply update the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture, because if the 90nm process technology is not solved, the inability to produce 90nm chips will not solve the problem at all.

Therefore, the current Sugon Technology has encountered huge challenges in terms of instruction set architecture and chip production. It can be said that it is burning money everywhere and asking for money everywhere.

In this case, the profits that can be earned by relying solely on low-end and mid-end mobile phones are already stretched, and there is another problem with big-name talents...

However, the outside world did not pay attention to the plight of Sugon Technology. After the press conference was released, the global media reported and discussed this matter in the following time.

Overseas people are marveling at the power of the ARMv7 architecture, looking forward to the birth of the mobile phone core based on the ARMv7 architecture in the future, and exploring what the mobile phone can do when the performance of the mobile phone is so powerful.

In this regard, netizens on the domestic Internet are naturally anxious.

Foreign ARM companies claim to release the super ARMv7 architecture in the first half of this year, and then develop stronger mobile phone processor cores based on the ARMv7 architecture.
I don’t know if there is any news from Sugon Technology. I wonder if there is a research and development plan for the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture?
At this time, the domestic netizens are really not in a hurry, and the Tianya Forum, Ying Haiwei, Mizuki Qinghua, and even the penguin groups of the latest emerging trends are discussing this matter.

They are very eager to know the relevant news, and want to know whether Sugon Technology has a plan to fight against the ARMv7 architecture.

Don't let the tragic scene where the proud Phoenix mobile phone processor of the Chinese people is severely beaten by the western mobile phone processor.
