Chapter 979 The Battle of Chips·Finally My Heart [seeking Subscription]

"Xu Dong, this Longteng EDA is a software system developed by your company. Would you like to sell it to my company?" Chairman Chen couldn't wait to put forward his willingness to buy an EDA software system.

The EDA software displayed by those chip design engineers is too powerful, which is completely different from the Longteng EDA software system sold by Longteng Computer on the market.This should be the core weapon of Yiming Group, otherwise the Suzaku series CPU of Yiming Group will not be able to compete with the Americans.

As Chairman Chen thought, he thought he had found the secret of Yiming Group's growing strength.He was very excited, and his slightly trembling hands and eyes had betrayed him.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhenming smiled, "Dong Chen, our EDA software system has always been on the market."

"No! These are two different EDA software systems." Chairman Chen shook his head firmly, thinking that his judgment was okay.

At this time, Zhou Jiawei smiled proudly: "Dong Chen's eyes are really different. Hahaha..."

He smiled and told Chairman Chen that although this Longteng EDA software system is also called Longteng EDA, it is actually not the same version as Longteng Computer's Longteng EDA.

"Our microelectronics laboratory has an EDA software system studio, which is responsible for upgrading Longteng's EDA software system, and cooperates with our Mingxin manufacturing company to integrate our own unique Foundry process technology. Therefore, Mr. Chen even bought This EDA system, I am afraid, can not play all the functions of the software!"

Zhou Jiawei reminded Chairman Chen truthfully that he did not act with Xu Zhenming's wink.This guy is too honest to do sales work at all.

Seeing that something bad was about to happen, Xu Zhenming had to come out to sloppy, "Dong Chen, our Director Zhou is right. If your company purchases this Dragon EDA software system, it is best to come to our Mingxin manufacturing company to tape out the film. This is the only way to do so. Give full play to the full functions of Longteng EDA software system."

"Um? This..." After hearing Xu Zhenming and Zhou Jiawei's explanations, Chairman Chen couldn't help but stunned. "Yiming Group has already made EDA system, chip design, chip tapeout, chip packaging and other chip industries. An industrial chain. No wonder..."

Until now, he has finally figured out why Yiming Group's Suzaku series CPUs can catch up with the speed of chip release of the countrymen.

In the US semiconductor industry, the division of labor has been very detailed. The manufacturer of the EDA software system is responsible for the development of new logic units, and is responsible for trivial matters such as the docking process with Foundry.

Chip design companies use EDA software systems to design chips, and Foundry specializes in tapeout and packaging chips, etc., to provide qualified chips to the market.

Among the several giant companies, only Intel has chip design and Foundry, and the industrial chain of other companies has begun to optimize, cutting down the unprofitable Foundry.

But Xu Zhenming did the opposite. Will the cost be reduced?

"Xu Dong, is your company willing to open this software system to our company? How much is a set?" Although he was thinking about it, Chairman Chen had already buried the problem in his heart and asked Xu Zhenming to buy this set of automatic design. The EDA software system of the chip.

"A set of one million dollars can carry 10,000 user terminals."

"Um? So expensive?" Hearing that Longteng's EDA software system would cost one million dollars, Chairman Chen couldn't help but frowned.The function of this software is relatively powerful, but the price is more than twice as expensive as that of the U.S. products.

Even so, Chairman Chen is still ready to spend money to buy a set back.He doesn't want to miss such a good tool software."How to calculate the service fee for subsequent software upgrades?" Thinking of this, Chairman Chen began to consult the after-sales service of Longteng's EDA software system.As long as it is not outrageous, he will recognize it.

"Well... we have never sold this EDA software. Director Zhou, what do you think should be charged?" At this time, Xu Zhenming smiled embarrassedly and kicked the ball to Zhou Jiawei.

Zhou Jiawei frowned and thought about it."Dong Chen, you give us a service fee of about $100,000 per year. We really haven't done such a thing here." He hesitated and said a price casually.

In terms of market conditions, this offer is a sky-high price, but Chairman Chen also thinks it is worth it.But at this time, Zhou Jiawei asked him a new question.

"Dong Chen, is your company preparing to develop the CPU of the X86 architecture system? Your company's best to provide us with some information in this respect. Our EDA system studio here will upgrade you according to the characteristics of the X86 architecture system. Longteng EDA system software."

Zhou Jiawei mentioned it casually.He told Chen Dongchang that the Longteng EDA software system only needs to input the instruction set system, basic logic unit system, and architectural logic system of the X86 architecture system into the database, and the software will automatically upgrade.

After the upgrade of the Dragon EDA software system, as long as the logical framework system of the new CPU is set, the software itself can automatically design a CPU chip that meets your settings.For example, there are multiple versions of Longteng 133CPU, which are actually designed automatically with the Longteng EDA software system.

"Oh……"

After listening to the top-secret news introduced by Zhou Jiawei, Chairman Chen finally wanted to understand why the Suzaku series CPUs could keep up with the Americans.This is the development of CPU by touching the Eagle sauce. What is the difficulty?All in all, Yiming Group relies on this Longteng EDA software system to fight the Americans.

"With this Longteng EDA software system, our CyrilCPU can not only catch up with Intel's Pentium 300MMXCPU, but also surpass the Americans. He released 300MMXCPU, we will release 400 686CPU, and even support customers overclocking!

Chairman Chen thought.

You know, CyrilCPU has always had a good tradition of overclocking, and it can make up for the lack of CPU performance by increasing the CPU's main frequency.In order to reduce the cost of CPU design and tape-out, CyrilCPU has always been accepted by users for its low price and good quality.

Therefore, Chairman Chen has made up his mind to introduce this Longteng EDA software system back as VIA’s main chip design tool software.

Even if Xu Zhenming wants him to open CyrilCPU's 586 architecture system immediately, it doesn't matter.For the future of Cyril, Chairman Chen decided to take a big gamble.

When Xu Zhenming heard the decision of Chairman Chen, he couldn't help applauding for his pride: "Okay, Chairman Chen has the courage! Our Yiming Group supports your ideas and will try our best to meet all your requirements. Chen Dong, how are you going to cooperate?"

"How about we build a joint venture wafer factory? The location is in Shenzhen." Chairman Chen is not stupid, ready to take the fate of CyrilCPU in his own hands.

Although he has decided to open the Cyril586CPU architecture system to Yiming Group, he does not trust Xu Zhenming without a bottom line.

But at this time, Xu Zhenming shook his head embarrassedly, "Dong Chen, our Yiming Group has already invested too many fabs in the mainland, and we can no longer invest again."
