When I came to Shencheng, I naturally had to go to another research room of Dongxu Technology, the chip research room. This can be said to be the heart of all mobile phone technology, this big problem can't be solved, everything is in danger.

In fact, although domestic semiconductors started late, the development in the sixties and seventies was still quite good, at least at that time it was more powerful than South Korea.

It's just that after entering the 80s, the foreign semiconductor industry has made rapid progress. The domestic semiconductor industry basically uses the technology that has been eliminated by foreign countries, and there is no innovation of cutting-edge technology, so the gap is instantly widened.

This has led to the situation that semiconductors are now booming abroad, and basically technology foundries are in China. If you want to break this backward phenomenon, chip technology breakthrough is the top priority.

At this point, the hottest Pentium series on the market at present has launched 90nm chip technology in 03. This year, there are rumors that Microsoft's chip technology has reached the 65nm level.

In China, even a chip above 100 nanometers cannot be manufactured independently, which can be said to be not an ordinary gap.

But all this is not hopeless, after all, Yang Dongxu is willing to spend money. In addition to programmers, who took advantage of the collapse of the IT industry, they also brought back some experts in the semiconductor industry, plus several large databases that were packaged and purchased from the former Soviet Union earlier.

At least there is a basis for R&D, not everything from scratch. At present, the key technology is stuck on the lithography machine that makes the chip.

If you are like the method adopted by Apple in the previous life, it is only on the basis of the original chip architecture, and it is upgraded to the mobile phone chip model and data architecture you need. And then hand these requirements to those foundries to produce, which can completely increase the chip size to about 50 nanometers, becoming the most advanced existence in the world.

But if you can't produce chips by yourself, sooner or later you will still be stuck in someone's neck. Therefore, not only Professor Ni is obsessed with producing chips by himself, but even Yang Dongxu is obsessed.

Of course, there is no magic obstacle to obsession, and this point must not be given up, no matter how much money is invested, we must continue to develop it. However, if a technological breakthrough cannot be achieved at a critical time, the chip foundry channel still needs to be taken a little. After all, there is no Zhang Butcher, and he doesn't want to eat pigs with hair, so he can only go to Liu Butcher and Li Butcher.

Anyway, this can be prepared with two hands, and one hand will quietly continue to develop chips by itself. It is the best solution to seize the smartphone market by foundry, and then invest the money earned from the smartphone into chip research and development, so as to form a virtuous circle.

"Lei Jun's system architecture is about to be completed, are you putting a stone in your heart? You are a little biased, now you only care about the smartphone side, and you don't care about the computer hardware research and development side. ”

Coming out of the scientific research room, Yang Dongxu came to the Dongxu Science and Technology Building, and as soon as he entered Ye Rongrong's office, he began to be ridiculed by the other party.

"It's not that I don't care, but even if I don't ask, I know that you can arrange these things very well. ”

"I am very useful for your praise, and at the same time, I have completely thrown off the responsibility of throwing off the shopkeeper. Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

Compared with Ye Rongrong, who was only a high school student before, although she still doesn't have any amazing academic qualifications now. But she is at the helm of Dongxu Technology, both domestically and internationally, and she is definitely the boss of the No. 1 technology company.

However, compared with Zhou Ya's business queen, Bai Qian is a strong queen. Ye Rongrong always feels so amiable, there are no edges and corners, and she is very gentle.

This is also related to personal experience, after all, whether it is Zhou Ya or Bai Qian, many things must be strong to deter a group of people and competitors.

Ye Rongrong has Yang Dongxu, the big boss on her side, and she has been working in Dongxu Technology since she was still working on the pirated tape production line on Dongxu Technology's side.

Coupled with the status and deterrence of all the enterprises under Yang Dongxu now. Ye Rongrong doesn't have to show too strong side, the people below will be obedient.

"How's the research on the processor?" Yang Dongxu sat down and asked about the progress of the computer research room.

"Compared with Microsoft, it is definitely not as good, and there is a certain gap in technology compared with AMD. But for now, if the customer doesn't want a PC with top performance.

The processors we produce are basically usable, and although the heat dissipation performance has always been an issue, it is fairly stable to use in the high temperatures of the summer.

In addition, our motherboards and hard disks and other hardware can be produced independently, so the compatibility is better. Therefore, our computers are selling well in the all-in-one market.

It's okay to configure the motherboard and hard disk on the computer, and the others can only do the middle and low configuration routes, and there is no way to compete with those giants for the mid-to-high-end market. At the same time, on the processor, our architecture design is very good, but the production still needs to be foundry. We don't have the technology to produce chips. Ye Rongrong said helplessly.

Seriously, in the past few years, whether it is the R&D money invested in graphics cards or processors, it is almost more than ten times that of hard drives and motherboards.

But technology research and development is so speechless, it seems to be like a universal connection. Since the development of the motherboard and hard disk technology, these two technologies can be said to have advanced dramatically, and it seems that they have become world-class leaders without much effort.

On the other hand, on the side of graphics cards and processors, a lot of money is thrown down, and as a result, these two technologies are like drowning. Until now, I can only mix in the ranking of the world's top five industries, and I can't even get into the top three.

Suddenly, the top five seem to be very powerful, but when you know that the top three occupy nearly 90% of the market share of these two markets, you know how difficult the so-called top five survival space is.

After all, the technology industry is basically a technologically advanced industry. This is also the biggest reason why Microsoft can kill AMD and IBN on the processor and sit on the throne of the boss, I am better than you, I don't care if you are an industry predecessor and a big man, just surpass it directly.

"What advantages do we have in terms of architecture design?" asked Yang Dongxu.

Graphics cards and processors are actually facing the same problems as mobile phone chips, and the production technology is not good. But the design concept is very transcendent.

"The design architecture of the processor, which has been calculated by the research office before, is barely on par with AMD, and it still can't surpass Microsoft. ”

"You said that if we can join forces with AMD, can we break our wrists with Microsoft?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Yes, yes, but in the end, it's not certain if we can win. After all, Microsoft's processor is really good, whether it is heat dissipation or the algorithm law under the same HZ, it is indeed stronger than other processors on the market.

And even if we work with AMD, Microsoft doesn't stand still. After all, the new products that Microsoft is preparing to launch this year are not only faster in computing speed, but also smaller in size. AMD certainly doesn't have such a technology, and we don't have such an advanced architectural design. ”

"This is the case of a standard 1+1 less than 2. Yang Dongxu couldn't help but shake his head with some emotion, and changed the topic, "By the way, how about the cooperative research and development with some Samsung projects?"

"It's been good, but I'll say it anyway. Some other projects are being prepared for cooperation, in fact, Toshiba of Japan is a better partner to work with. And the sincerity of the other side is also more sufficient. Ye Rongrong said.

If it were another manager, I would definitely not say this. After all, the relationship between Yang Dongxu and Li Fuzhen is clearly placed, which is obviously offending people, and Ye Rongrong obviously has no such scruples.

"I'll leave the graphics card cooperation to Toshiba, but we can sign a non-disclosure agreement, or the only transfer agreement for the same non-competition. But in the same way, after obtaining our advanced graphics card design architecture, they also have to transfer part of the graphics card production technology to us. ”

"This one can be a little hard. Ye Rongrong frowned.

"Let's talk about it slowly and see how they react after the first batch of graphics cards we have partnered with Samsung are put on the market. ”

"What about the chip?"

"Let's continue to deepen our cooperation with Samsung. Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and said.

"In fact, TSMC is also a good choice. ”

"Let's talk about it then?" Yang Dongxu thought about the Wall Street bigwigs standing behind Samsung, and felt that he couldn't be regarded as the only choice, even if there was a relationship with Li Fuzhen.

"The U.S. IT industry, or the electronics industry, has completely recovered, or has developed more rapidly. Now the commerce bureau over there seems to be a little bit of a noticing of us. Ye Rongrong opened her mouth to talk about a serious problem that Dongxu Technology is currently facing.

If at this time, the United States adopts a technical blockade similar to the previous life against Huawei to target Dongxu Technology. Don't look at the current Dongxu Technology is already a big man in the technology industry, but it is not as strong as Huawei in the previous life.

Because too much technology now needs to rely on foreign patents, its own technical reserves are seriously insufficient. This is a gap in absolute basic technology, and it is not something that can be made up by him alone after years of research.

If the domestic technology industry grows for another ten years, and he concentrates on cultivation for another ten years, he may be able to be just like Huawei and the United States, but now it will definitely not work.

"I'll figure out a way to do this, you can do your own thing with peace of mind. By the way, Yitingtech is developing cloud computing, and they have a scientific researcher named Kanei, which you should know.

Under the pretext that you are cooperating in the development of some technology products, pay more attention to the situation on the side of Yiting. If you find that there is something wrong with the situation, you must get Kane and his technical team to come to Huaxia, Yiting Technology can do without, but there is no room for loss in Kane. ”

"You can do this now, right?" Ye Rongrong looked at Yang Dongxu with some puzzlement.

"It's true that Kane can come to China now, but research and development like cloud computing requires a lot of advanced technology in the United States, which is more convenient there, and the speed of research and development is faster. Yang Dongxu spread his hands helplessly.

Some technological R&D advances must stand on the shoulders of predecessors, and currently in the IT industry. The giant of the rice country is obviously taller and stronger than Huaxia.

"Okay, I'll take notice. You can also solve the matter on the side of the U.S. Department of Commerce as soon as possible. The export approval procedures of our latest batch of MP4 are always stuck in various excuses. Ye Rongrong instructed.

"Understood!" Yang Dongxu nodded.

This time he is ready to cut some meat, and there is no way to face a big guy like the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, whether it is Kennedy or Little Jack, it is not something that can be sent by throwing some bait casually, and the meat must be cut.
