Chapter 26 Then take a gamble

"The dog days are like fire, and the slums are so lively after work..."

Teacher Liu Huan's still young voice came from the TV. Su Yuanshan and his father were sitting on the sofa, holding a pager in their hands and fiddling with each other. My uncle picked up the phone and opened the manual station. After leaving a message casually, the pager in Su Yuanshan's hand sounded the tone to Alice from the buzzer.

My uncle hung up the phone and looked proud: "How is it? The current ex-factory price is 1,400 yuan, and the cost of the material is nearly 500 yuan. The main reason is that the chip cost has not been reduced. Hua Jing's group of people are crazy and said that the relationship is related, but the amount has not increased, so it is so expensive."

"It's okay, it's mainly because I'm carrying these 3,000 units back is really a big deal, and it's a timely help." Su Yuanshan put down the pager. He didn't talk much about the appearance design of the pager, but he just suggested that it be more fashionable. Unfortunately, the master in charge of the abrasives may have some misunderstandings about fashion - he vividly embossed a flower on the back of the pager. However, the appearance is concave and convex, and it really feels good to touch, and the edge of the pager is not uncomfortable to the hand, which is currently the first-class domestic standard.

My uncle sat down next to Su Yuanshan, and still hugged my nephew's shoulder proudly: "How is it? Is my uncle's money-making level right?"

Su Yuanshan laughed and said, "First-class - Wang Chaoxin has no objection?"

"No, he knew about Yuanxin's situation. He just sighed a little, saying that it is too valuable to master the most cutting-edge technology in the world today."

Su Yuanshan nodded secretly. Wang Chaoxin is really a fierce person. He can quickly clarify how strong the company, which is capable of completing EDA development and chip design capabilities, will not have the illusion that he is "swallowed by Yuanxin" by Yuanxin.

After a while, the food was served, and my mother inevitably reminded Su Yuanshan not to forget about the competition during the meal.

Early the next morning, my uncle drove his broken crown to the company to pick up the finance sister Tang to register a wholly-owned subsidiary, while Su Yuanshan and his father went to the office.

Because the members of the joint research team are professors of the Department of Electronics and Computer Science and their master's and doctoral degrees, the project belongs to the Department of Electronics and Computer Science and the school allocated funds. Given that the graduate students who were previously borrowed from Yuanxin are all paid, the tutors here are embarrassed to let their students work in vain. It is somewhat more interesting. Although it is not as good as those in Yuanxin, it is much better than before when they worked in vain.

It has been two months since the establishment of the joint research group, and it has been discussing the microcontroller structure. Each professor has proposed improvement plans based on the familiar architecture, so it took a month to argue. In this case, Qin Weimin returned to take over Su Xinghe's work, sorted out and proposed a new architecture based on von Neumann, and the single instruction pipeline was finally settled. Qin Weimin only took more than ten days to sort out and came up with feasible design plans and several risc standard instructions. At present, a group of big guys are considering the instructions necessary for the instruction set day and night.

"teacher."

Seeing Su Xinghe and Su Yuanshan enter the door, Tang Wenjie took the lead and then Qin Weimin also raised his head from the computer.

Su Xinghe responded to the student with a smile, and nodded at Qin Weimin again: "Well, you continue, come out for the people."

The provincial capital was not hot at 9 o'clock in the morning, but the sun was already high in the sky, and the three of them walked and chatted under the shade of the trees.

"For the people, what did you plan?"

As a great apprentice, Su Xinghe attaches great importance to Qin Weimin, and Qin Weimin also respects Su Xinghe very much. The last time he met Jia Jibing in Huajing, if it weren't for Su Yuanshan, Qin Weimin would definitely get angry on the spot.

Therefore, the three of them chatted casually.

Qin Weimin said without thinking: "I have no plans, just follow the teacher first. You can go wherever you ask me to go. After graduating from a doctorate, I will enter Yuanxin." As he said that, Qin Weimin joked: "I'll rely on you anyway."

Su Xinghe laughed loudly and patted Qin Weimin on the shoulder hard: "Don't speak it with ease, you kid, you will not be convinced by it."

"No, teacher, I really think Yuanxin is promising." Qin Weimin said seriously: "Seldom people in the company can understand Xiaoshan's layout, including I didn't understand it before. But these days I suddenly came to my senses after building architecture... Xiaoshan actually wanted to build Yuanxin into a large group with tentacles extending to various fields. For example, the microcontroller we are now building can take the Intel path and develop towards a desktop platform in the future. Then, once the GSM project that Senior Brother Tian Yaoming is responsible for, can replace the epoch-making communication products that are now big brothers. And Li Mingliu's current team is focusing on the development of commercial chips."

"Not to mention the EDA team led by Xi Xiaoding himself, it is the most upstream industry in the entire semiconductor industry. As long as our EDA can remain in the lead, it will be enough to have the capital to compete with others. Do you think that in addition to Yuanxin, who else has such strong scientific research strength and prospects in China?"

Hearing Qin Weimin's explanation of Yuanxin's layout, Su Yuanshan and his father looked at each other and smiled.

"But brother, we are actually a little short of it."

Qin Weimin was slightly stunned: "What's the difference?"

Su Yuanshan licked his lips: "The non-x86 CPU architecture. The x86 architecture has gradually formed a monopoly in the desktop processor. Powerpc and mips are almost the same, and can only be used to customize special-purpose CPUs, such as servers."

"But these things need authorization. So while these instruction set architectures have not evolved to a monopoly position, we have to create a new instruction set architecture. In the future, whether it is a future desktop system or a server system, we at least have the ability to produce CPUs, and we don't have to ask others to authorize if we want to do CPUs."

"The senior brother has talent in architecture design, so... I hope the senior brother will join Yuanxin directly from now on, and then lead a team to start designing a brand new streamlined instruction set architecture."

"We don't use this architecture to compete with x86 for the desktop market, but we can compete for the server market and the CPU market for various special scenarios."

Su Yuanshan looked at Qin Weimin and said slowly.

It is July 30, 1991. Arm reincarnated from Acorn, Apple, Nokia and other filthy lands have been established for nearly eight months. The first processor based on the Risc instruction set designed by them is about to take shape.

Arm is a company that focuses on instruction sets and CPU architecture design. It does not manufacture CPUs itself, but is only responsible for authorizing designs to other manufacturers to find wafer fabs to produce. Later generations Su Yuanshan was responsible for the 7nmsoc based on the architecture of Haixin.

Now the newly established arm is like a newly born baby. There is no need for Su Yuanshan to pity, and there is no need to wait until it grows up before authorizing it.

——Isn’t it good to develop a yx architecture with a streamlined instruction set?

"This team, after the video decoding chip is completed, I will do it with my senior brother immediately."

Hearing this, Qin Weimin did not hesitate anymore. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I will hand over the work right away!"

"For the people, you have to think well, so that the effort you spent on microcontrollers will be wasted?" Su Xinghe Lao Huai comforted her and looked at her eldest apprentice and smiled.

Qin Weimin smiled and said, "Teacher, I bet we will achieve results first than you! If you don't believe it, let's see!"

Su Xinghe also became proud: "Okay! Then let's have a gamble!"
Chapter completed!
