Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"If we didn't have the ability to produce our own memory, we would have to step into it even though we knew it was a trap. Fortunately, at the critical moment, our partners obtained the mass production technology of memory particles. From now on, we no longer have to look at those in Bangzi Country. The face of the memory manufacturer is changed."

The originally very difficult memory procurement problem was solved so easily. It was only then that everyone deeply felt the importance of independence in key technologies.

After the meeting, Qiao Ruida and Xiao Jamsheng came to the chip laboratory of the R&D department together. Qiao Ruida came behind a researcher and watched him conduct simulation tests on a computer that had just been designed.

Qiao Ruida pointed to the content displayed on the screen and asked curiously: "What you are currently emulating and testing is the baseband chip, right? Your team moved very quickly. It completed the research and development of the mobile phone baseband chip so quickly."

Hearing the voice coming from behind, the researcher was startled. When he looked back, he saw the boss Qiao Ruida and his immediate boss Xiao Jingsheng. Then he took a breath and replied: "Yes, boss, we are testing." It is indeed a baseband chip, and it is a baseband chip that is compatible with 4G and 3G communication technologies. We have such a fast research and development speed, thanks to the 4G communication baseband chip research and development information provided by you, boss. Then we face the research and development process of the baseband chip , the writing is too detailed, including the specific architecture and patented technologies used. With such detailed information for reference, we only need to go through the process step by step, and a brand new baseband chip is designed. But this baseband Chips, in 3G communications, still use some of Qualcomm’s patents, and we are trying to find ways to bypass these patents and strive not to hand over a penny to the vampire Qualcomm.”

The research and development of baseband chips is a research and development task jointly undertaken by the mobile communication technology research and development team and the chip research and development team. Among them, the mobile communication technology R&D team provides theoretical foundation and technical support, and the chip R&D team is responsible for completing the chip design work. Only with perfect cooperation between the two parties can the project be rapidly advanced.

The 4G baseband information this researcher mentioned was after the system upgrade, Qiao Ruida downloaded photos from the Internet ten years later, copied several 4G full network baseband chips, and several mobile phone SOCs that integrated 4G baseband, and analyzed and compiled them. from. It can be said that it integrates several communication and chip giants, and its research results on 4G baseband are very advanced and comprehensive. It is with this information as a reference that the talents of the chip R&D team can develop the baseband chip in a short time.

Qiao Ruida patted the researcher on the shoulder to express encouragement, "You did a good job. Our Ruida Technology has just been involved in the field of mobile phone R&D and manufacturing for more than a year, and the technology accumulation is indeed weak. Without bypassing a patented technology, we can do less By paying a patent fee, you can invest more money in research and development. The goal I set for our chip R&D team is to catch up in the 3G era, be evenly matched in the 4G era, and dominate in the 5G era. In order to achieve this goal, the company will Take at least 30% of your profits and invest them in research and development. You must keep up the good work. As for this 4G baseband chip, you can develop it slowly and carefully test and improve it. There is no need to rush. Our domestic 4G license will not be issued until at least the end of the year. It will take a long time for each operator to update their base station equipment. As long as they come up with mature 4G baseband chips before the mass production of the third-generation Reda mobile phone next year, things will not be delayed."

"Okay boss, we will work hard to live up to your expectations."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, our company needs people, money, and technology. We can definitely create a new world in the field of chip design."

"Mr. Qiao, I dare not say anything else. This 4G baseband chip will definitely be completed within half a year."

Several nearby researchers, upon hearing Qiao Ruida's speech, patted their chests and made their assurances.

Qiao Ruida nodded approvingly and said: "I believe in your strength. By the way, come here today. In addition to looking at the research and development progress of the baseband chip, I have a task for you."

"Oh, what is the task? Do you want to develop a new type of chip?" Xiao Jamsheng asked curiously. Xiao Jingsheng, the manager of the R&D department, also serves as the leader of the chip R&D team, so he asked this question.

"You're right, there is indeed a new chip to be developed. I also said during the meeting that the second generation of Ruida mobile phone will be released soon, and the price of the lowest version will be approximately 1999 yuan. This price, in It seems to you and me that it is already very cheap, but it is still unaffordable for those urban residents with poor economic conditions and the huge rural population. In order to let more people use smart phones and experience the mobile Internet era Charming, I plan to develop a mobile phone product with a price of only 999 yuan. In order to further reduce costs, the SOC chip used in this new mobile phone does not need to be redesigned and re-developed. I plan to use the CPU part of the Kyushu No. chip. , cut off two large cores, the GPU part, and cut off one-third of the display core, and you have a new low-end mobile phone SOC."

Qiao Ruida expressed his needs. If a chip is designed, tested and modified from scratch until it is finalized and mass-produced, it will be very troublesome and time-consuming. It would be very simple to cut off some computing cores and display cores from existing chips to make a mid-range or low-end chip. Some high, middle and low series mobile phone SOCs from Qualcomm and MediaTek in later generations adopted this research and development idea.

Jamel Xiao frowned and thought for a while, and said: "If we just cut off a few computing cores, display cores, and other functional modules on the basis of Jiuzhou No. 1, we can develop it very quickly. Just cut it like this The area and number of transistors of the low-end chips that come out will not be reduced much, and the production costs will not be reduced much. Coupled with a lot of miscellaneous components such as memory, flash memory, screens, cameras, etc., it is difficult to combine them. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to reduce the cost of a mobile phone to less than one thousand, right?”

Qiao Ruida explained: "The reason for cutting off cores is just to widen the performance gap between high-end chips and low-end chips, not to reduce the production cost of chips. We at Ruida Technology can design chips ourselves, and Rockchip produces chips We also have shares in the wafer fab, and the production cost of chips has been reduced to very low by us. Each mobile phone SOC chip is less than 50." (End of Chapter)
