Big Country Intelligent Manufacturing

"Uh? Your company's investment in the fab has exceeded the scale?" Chairman Chen felt very incredible.Investing in building a fab is not a small sum. Burning money can be described as a bottomless pit. Does Yiming Group have that kind of money?

Seeing his fussy expression, Zhou Jiawei smiled proudly.

"Mr. Chen, we have spent more than 40 billion yuan in cities such as Rongcheng, Xijing, Modu, Luzhou, and Jiangxia, and invested in wafer fabs covering three sizes of 4 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches."

"The products of these fabs cover the entire industry such as household appliances, industrial electrical, automation electronics, IC cards. The production capacity has reached more than two million pieces per year, which is more than enough to meet domestic demand. Therefore, our Yiming Group can no longer blindly Going to the fab project wastes limited funds."

Zhou Jiawei briefly introduced Xu Zhenming's chip manufacturing layout.At present, the state has not paid as much attention to chip manufacturing as later, and there is no special subsidy policy.Those speculators have not had the opportunity to make waves, and they can start chip manufacturing without paying a penny for a PPT.

In addition, the threshold for investing in chip manufacturing companies is very high. Rich people can't squeeze in without technology; there is no need to think about technology and money.

Therefore, Xu Zhenming is not in a hurry to increase production capacity, and he can't get along with himself.Chairman Chen proposed to invest in a fab with him. He is definitely not interested.

"Hey..." After hearing these words, Chairman Chen sighed with regret.His hopes of mastering Cyril686CPU's own production were shattered, and he felt very sad.When the time comes, he can only let Wanwantai Electrical and Mechanical Services or Yiming Group Company kill him.

Not only that, the Foundry process technology of Wanwan Moss is very backward now, is it capable of tape out the upcoming Cyril400MHz686CPU?

Thinking of this, he even suspected that Xu Zhenming showed him the Longteng EDA software system, which was actually a game, inducing him to be deceived!

"This Xu Zhenming is very cunning, I seem to have been fooled!" He couldn't help being taken aback, hesitated about whether to cooperate with Xu Zhenming, and hesitated.

At this time, Xu Zhenming smiled at him and made a gesture of asking, "Dong Chen, let's take a look at the simulation laboratory of the Longteng EDA software system."

The EDA software system has a chip simulation function as standard, which can assist engineers to find some logic bugs in the CPU design process and eliminate the simplest logic errors.

Therefore, Chairman Chen did not pay attention to this function of the Longteng EDA software system. He was weighing the gains and losses while walking, and analyzed whether to continue cooperating with Xu Zhenming.

Anyway, the two of them just reached an oral agreement. If this cooperation is not good for VIA, he can revoke the oral cooperation agreement at any time.

But when he saw the sharp picture of the CPU simulation process, Chairman Chen didn't hesitate anymore.

I saw that this is a laboratory that can accommodate more than one hundred people. The computer screens are all LCD screens, and there are about thirty people operating computers.Not only that, there is also a large projection screen on the east side of the laboratory, which is also displaying a sharp CPU simulation picture.

"To do a frequency hopping test, set the main frequency of the input CPU to 288MHz." At this time, an engineer issued an order for the simulation experiment.

"Starting preparations for clock speed 288, all in your place, start!"

"The CPU temperature is 43.4 degrees, normal."

"The instruction set logic unit is normal, and you can enter the operation code."

"The vacancy rate of the first level cache is 88.76%, which is normal, and you can enter the operation code."

"The vacancy rate of the secondary cache is 94.45%, which is normal. You can enter the calculation code..."

With the frequency hopping simulation command issued, the engineers sitting in front of the computer began to get busy, crackling on the keyboard, staring at the screen unblinkingly, monitoring various data on the computer screen.

The computer screens in front of them are also different.

Some people show the operating temperature of the CPU; some show the frequency of the CPU pulse signal; some show the storage efficiency and refresh frequency of the first level cache.

There is also a computer screen in front of the person, which is now displaying a prompt interface for entering a code.

On the large projection screen, an enlarged simulation sharp 266MMXCPU is displayed at this time.The pins of the CPU are connected to a computer-simulated motherboard circuit.

This is the first time Chairman Chen has seen this kind of scene after so many years of business.

"Wow? The Longteng EDA software system can directly simulate the designed CPU, can you also use this simulation chip for experiments?"

Chairman Chen muttered to himself in shock.

This set of technology is so advanced that it can be described as a science fiction film.If he hadn't seen this scene with his own eyes, he would never believe anyone telling him about such things.

If his guess is not wrong, Yiming Group has mastered a cheating weapon for chip design and can become the boss of the CPU industry within two or three years.

"Xu Dong, this is the application effect of the big data technology I have reported to you. Our Longteng EDA can directly simulate the designed CPU based on the technology of the big data system, and use the simulation platform to verify the performance of the CPU. Just This stuff is a bit resource-intensive, and large computers can't support it."

When Chairman Chen was in shock, Zhou Jiawei was full of regrets and explained to Xu Zhenming the images displayed on the large projection screen.

According to him, the computing center of Yiming Group has been shut down at this time, and all the resources of the mainframe computer have been allocated for sharp CPU simulation tests.

"Well... it won't work like this. You'd better use the night time to do a sharp CPU simulation test." After hearing this, Xu Zhenming frowned and nodded in the direction of the projection screen.

Seeing this scene, Chairman Chen thought jealously, "Is this the trouble of happiness? The people of Yiming Group are really hateful. With this kind of high-tech plug-in in hand, they are still worried about the resources of large computers. Assignment? Really damn it!"

As an expert boss of chip design, Chairman Chen knows everything he sees.

If their VIA company has this system, CyrilCPU, VIACPU chipset, VIA multimedia chipset and other chip projects, the speed of developing new products will be more than doubled.The "Moore's Law" created by the Americans has also failed, and the speed of chip replacement will more than double.

This is too sci-fi!

"Our VIA company must get this kind of technology for research and development of chips!" Chairman Chen thought, and proposed this idea to Xu Zhenming.

After listening to his proposal, Xu Zhenming retracted his gaze, smiled at him and shook his head, "Dong Chen, do you know the cost of building this system?"

"How much does it cost?" Chairman Chen couldn't help but flustered, and a bad feeling came to his heart.If the system requires 100 million U.S. dollars, he has to think carefully.

For a CPU design tool, VIA will not make unlimited investments.
