Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

"Yes, Chairman, we have hired more people. The chip design team alone has more than 600 people," said Williams.

This number is already terrifying.

Even HiSilicon's current R&D team has only a thousand people, and the chip design team has only two to three hundred people.

"Great, can we advance three projects at the same time?" Wang Yi asked.

威廉姆斯点点头：“可以，目前我带着200人研发40纳米集成基带的鲲鹏510 SOC。乔治带着200人研发28纳米不集成基带的鲲鹏700芯片。”

"There are still 200 people, and I have handed them over to Zhang Chao, who is a very outstanding young man. I asked him to lead the team to develop the Kunpeng 900 SOC with integrated baseband! I will fully assist in the entire development process. Don't worry, Chairman, I will immediately join the development of the 510 SOC after Kunpeng 900 is completed!"

"Zhang Chao!" Wang Yi nodded. He had an impression of this man.

He received his undergraduate degree from Huaqing University and his master's and doctoral degrees from MIT. Upon learning that Xingyi Technology had invested heavily in chip research and development, he directly rejected offers from Intel and Qualcomm and joined Xingyi Technology.

At first he was just an ordinary R&D engineer, but in the development of Kunpeng 510, he put forward many creative suggestions, which made Williams praise him highly.

After some testing, Williams found that Zhang Chao's level was no less than George's.

And as a Xia citizen, he works harder and harder than George.

So, Williams directly handed over the Kunpeng 900 project to Zhang Chao and the team of 200 people.

In this way, the Kunpeng 900 project can be launched ahead of schedule.

With Zhang Chao leading the team, even if Kunpeng 900 cannot be completely completed, it can still make rapid progress.

After Williams has finished Kunpeng 510, he will go to help Zhang Chao and he will definitely get it done quickly!

Wang Yi was very satisfied with this.

Both Williams and George are Westerners.

And Zhang Chao is from Xia!

To be honest, Wang Yi would rather see Xia Guoren catch up, accumulate strength and even become the helmsman of Xingyi Semiconductor in the future.

"Very good, William. Zhang Chao will be in charge of the Kunpeng 900 SOC. You should finish the Kunpeng 510 as soon as possible. There will be a more advanced Kunpeng 900S overclocked version chip waiting for your research and development later!"

"Kunpeng 900S overclocked chip?" Williams suddenly had an idea: "Chairman, do you want to create a chip without baseband but with super performance, comparable to Apple A6X?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Apple is about to release a new generation of iPad, equipped with an A6X chip, which has much better performance than our Kunpeng 900. By then, our Xingyi tablet will definitely suffer a performance hit, and we can only develop Kunpeng 900S as soon as possible and launch Xingyi tablet 2!"

"Okay, Chairman, I understand. Leave it to me!"

With Zhang Chao's emerging talent, Xingyi Semiconductor has gained another leading figure.

In the future, Williams, George, and Zhang Chao can fully advance the research and development of three chips at the same time.

Pang Liguo led the baseband team to focus on solving baseband problems!

The coordinated development of the four pillars will undoubtedly enable Xingyi Semiconductor to have better development.

There is no way, our competitors are too brutal now.

Texas Instruments is giving up its mobile chip business.

Nvidia’s baseband is not good, which leads to the short-term development of its mobile chip business.

But Qualcomm is too powerful. This year's APQ 8064 is equivalent to Snapdragon 600. Starting next year, it will launch four series of Snapdragon 200, 400, 600, and 800 at one time!

All of them are made using 28nm process.

As for Apple, it is equally fierce. In addition to the A5 of the iPhone 6, there is also the A4x of the iPad 6th generation.

Both pose a huge threat to Xingyi Semiconductor.

If the Xingyi mobile phone and Xingyi tablet want to continue to lead and crush their competitors, they cannot lag too far behind in chips.

Fortunately, we now have sufficient manpower and several projects can be advanced simultaneously, which can completely shorten the generation gap.

After all, Kunpeng 510 is only slightly better than Nvidia Tegra 3 and is half a year behind.

Kunpeng 700 is only slightly better than APQ 8064 and is about half a year behind.

As for Kunpeng 900, it will not be released until next year, and it will lag behind Qualcomm 800 by half a year.

As for Kunpeng 900S, it still lags behind, half a year behind Apple A6x.

There is no way. As a rising star, Xingyi Semiconductor is already very powerful to have caught up to this point.

As long as you achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1, you can go from 1 to 100 in less than two years!

Afterwards, Wang Yi went to George's department again: "How is the progress of Kunpeng 700?"

George was a little excited: "The progress is relatively smooth. The highest main frequency of Qualcomm 8064 is 1.5G. Thanks to our adoption of the new V8 architecture, we have achieved a main frequency of 1.8G, surpassing Qualcomm, which can guarantee better power consumption. However, the GPU is not enough. The GPU of Qualcomm 8064 is a bit strong, so we still have to make adjustments!"

"Okay, when do you expect it to be completed?" Wang Yi asked.

George thought for a moment and said, "After all, it's a brand new 28-nanometer chip. It will probably be released in December."

"December? Good! Good luck." Wang Yi patted George on the shoulder.

Some things cannot be rushed.

Even so, developing a chip in half a year is considered fast.

Of course, Kunpeng 700 is based on Kunpeng 510 and does not have a baseband yet, so it progresses faster.

If there is a baseband, it will be complicated.

Then, Wang Yi went to the Kunpeng 900 department.

"Chairman, you are here!"

Zhang Chao stood up quickly. He had big dark circles under his eyes and fluffy hair, and it was obvious that he had not rested well.

The biggest difference between engineers in Xia country and overseas engineers is that they are both hardworking and dedicated!

Overseas engineers who work overtime until 8 p.m. are considered heavy overtime.

But it is normal for engineers in Xia country to work until midnight and 996 every day.

Wang Yi nodded: "William said that you are very good and a good seedling!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Director. I just pushed forward the research and development of Kunpeng 500 SOC based on Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 900. Director William will handle the follow-up key issues."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Williams has a new project. After the Kunpeng 510 is completed, it will directly enter the research and development of Kunpeng 900S. As for the research and development of Kunpeng 900 SOC, if you don't help, it will be handed over to you!"

"What?" Zhang Chao was shocked. "Chairman, I... I... Can I? Kunpeng 900 SOC is comparable to Qualcomm's flagship SOC chip next year. I..."

"Lack of confidence?" Wang Yi smiled.

Zhang Chao nodded: "Yes, a little."

"That's normal. It's a bit too much to ask you to take the lead at the beginning. But our chip research and development lags far behind Qualcomm and Apple. We don't have time for you to grow slowly. We can only be more aggressive!"

Wang Yi smiled and said, "And I'm optimistic about you. Williams and George are optimistic about you too."

"This..." Zhang Chao was still a little unconfident.

Among these people, he has good abilities and has solved many technical problems.

But after all, he is a newcomer with little experience, so it is normal for him to lack confidence.

Wang Yi patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder and said, "Where there is a will, there is a way. With a desperate struggle, the Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu! Believe in yourself, you can do it. After all, I am younger than you, and I have still done many incredible things. And you can do the same!"
