Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

The research and development of Xingyi X1 has been basically completed, but the chips used at that time were all Kunpeng 902, and we were just waiting for the successful tape-out of Kunpeng 906.

"Okay, President Zhu, I'll arrange for someone to pack for you right away!"

"Thank you." Zhu Changlin replied.

Zhang Chao turned to look at Wang Yi and said, "Chairman, now that Kunpeng 906 has been successfully developed, what will our team do next? Develop Kunpeng 920?"

As for the next generation Kunpeng 910, George’s team is currently developing it, while Zhang Chao’s team is left with nothing.

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "No, there is no rush for Kunpeng 920. We will start the research and development of Kunpeng 910 after George's team finishes Kunpeng 920 next year."

"Then we..." Zhang Chao was confused. It was none of their business!

Marginalized?

It shouldn’t be like this, Kunpeng 906 is very successful.

Wang Yi smiled and said: "You have a more important task. Lead your brothers to tackle tough problems, develop our own architecture, and create Xingyi Technology's own instruction set!"

"What? Develop your own architecture and instruction set!"

Zhang Chao was startled, and so were George and Williams.

Even Zhu Changlin looked confused.

The chairman's ambition is really big!

The current chip market structure is very clear.

ARM dominates the mobile chip market, and Intel dominates the PC chip field.

Especially in the mobile chip market, ARM is deeply rooted and no one can do without it.

Whether it is Xingyi Technology, Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, MediaTek, or Huawei, they all use ARM's V7 and V8 instruction set architectures.

For every chip we make, we have to pay ARM.

That’s right, part of the chip cost is the licensing fee paid to ARM.

Fortunately, ARM's charges are not high, otherwise all major manufacturers would have to bleed heavily.

But now, Wang Yi actually wants to layout his own instruction set and architecture!

It can only be said that Wang Yi’s ambition is extremely big.

Wang Yi said: "ARM's V8 architecture is very good, but it still has many problems. For example, the A57 core generates a lot of heat and is prone to failure. Also, the public version of the GPU is not particularly powerful, and sometimes even not as powerful as Qualcomm's GPU."

"More importantly, we have bought the permanent copyright of the V8 architecture, but what if ARM doesn't sell it to us after a few years when it launches the new V9 architecture? What if they raise the price and ask for an exorbitant price?"

"This..." Everyone was silent.

But everyone knows that Wang Yi is right.

"Other people's architecture is always other people's architecture!"

"Always being controlled by others, always being strangled by others."

"So we have to develop our own instruction set, our own architecture!"

Zhang Chao agrees: "Only by fully developing our own technology can we get rid of our dependence on ARM and avoid being strangled."

"Chairman, although this task is difficult, I am confident!"

"Very good! Kunpeng 920 and Kunpeng 930 will be developed by George. The independently developed instruction set and architecture will be handed over to you."

Wang Yi looked at Zhang Chao and said, "If you need any support, just let me know. The group will fully support you!"

"Okay!" Zhang Chao nodded. "It's difficult to develop our own instruction set and architecture, but I have confidence. It's a bit difficult to get it done within two years, so in three years, our independently developed instruction set will definitely be released! I issue a military order!"

"Three years. Very good!" Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

It is a great success that we were able to complete the independently developed instruction set and architecture within three years.

There is also EDA industrial software, which was launched in October last year.

Now, more than a year has passed, and although the progress is considerable, it is still a long way from R&D success.

In total, it took three years to successfully develop it.

There is nothing we can do about this.

This kind of research and development requires a huge workload and is extremely difficult, and it basically takes three years to complete.

But even if it takes three years, it would be great if we can do it.

Calculating the time, EDA industrial software will be in the second half of 2015.

The self-developed instruction set will be around the end of 2016.

In terms of time, it’s not too late.

We can do it before the technological war breaks out and before American Intellectual Property Rights becomes desperate.

There are also photoresists, large silicon wafers, etc., which were all developed and researched half a year ago and have achieved certain results.

In about one or two years, we will be able to produce something.

As for the DUV lithography machine, with the investment from large funds and the high attention from the government, there is hope that it can be completed as soon as possible.

In addition, Xingyi Technology has purchased a large number of DUV lithography machines.

In this way, strategic security can be temporarily achieved before the end of 2016.

Even if Mike Pompeo becomes desperate and launches a full-scale semiconductor war, Wang Yi will be able to handle it with ease.

However, lithography machines also require investment.

The only problem is how to invest and which one to invest in.

Wang Yi remembers that Shanghai Microelectronics, Harbin Institute of Technology, Huazhuo Precision Technology, and Keyi Hongyuan Optoelectronics are all giants in this field.

There is no need to mention Modou Microelectronics. They are the ones who make the current 90-nanometer domestic lithography machines, representing the highest level of domestic lithography machines at present.

In the past, the domestically produced DUV lithography machine ten years later was also developed under the leadership of this company.

With the full support of the big fund, its strength is unquestionable.

In addition, Harbin Institute of Technology also has a profound foundation, especially in the extreme ultraviolet light source technology of EUV lithography machines, which has made breakthroughs, breaking the technological blockade and laying a technical foundation for the mass production of EUV lithography machines.

There is also the double worktable of the lithography machine developed by Huazhuo Precision Technology and the light source technology of Keyi Hongyuan Optoelectronics, which are both swords to break through the blockade and develop EUV lithography machines.

But how to invest and how to invest.

Is it direct financial investment, or setting up a cutting-edge R&D team and conducting joint R&D with institutions such as Harbin Institute of Technology?

Everything needs to be planned well.

In this regard, Wang Yi plans to wait for the big fund to make a move, then look at the big fund's plan and then fill in the gaps.

As for institutions that have already been invested in by big funds, Wang Yi will not care. With the support of big funds, funding will not be a problem.

However, those companies that the big funds have not yet taken a fancy to but still have core strengths are Wang Yi’s investment focus.

Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we develop high-end DUV lithography machines and even EUV lithography machines as soon as possible.

Whether it is EDA industrial software, instruction set architecture, photoresist, large silicon wafers, lithography machines, etc., all have achieved breakthroughs.

Then the technology war is completely won.

America’s blockade has become a joke and will only become the death knell for foreign giants!

But it’s not easy, the road is long and arduous!

"Chairman, since Kunpeng 906C has been successfully taped out, do you want to make another Xingyi Tablet 2 Ultra to take over the market share of Xingyi Tablet 1 Ultra?"

"Sure!" Wang Yi nodded. "The 2nd generation of the Xingyi Tablet will be released soon. As for the Xingyi Tablet 2Ultra, we are starting to develop it now. It will be fully upgraded based on the 2pro, with the Kunpeng 906C processor, RAM, storage, and screen!"

“In March next year, we will release it together with the Xingyi X1 series and go international directly!”

"If we want to go global, we have to come up with products that are eye-catching enough to show our momentum."

"The epoch-making Xingyi X1 series, plus the performance monster Xingyi Tablet 2Ultra, are released together!"

"Okay!" Zhu Changlin responded.

With the samples of Kunpeng 906SOC and Kunpeng 906C, Zhu Changlin quickly started the final integration work of the Xingyi X1 series and the research and development of the Xingyi Tablet 2Ultra.

In addition, it is an upgrade on the Xingyi Tablet 2 Pro, which can be considered a facelift. It does not need to be developed from scratch and can be completed in two or three months.

New products are being developed one after another, and old products are selling like crazy due to the double buff of discontinuation of production and the Double Eleven promotion.

Especially for models that have been discontinued, the inventory is limited and they will be sold out one after another in a short time.

For example, the xphone1pro was the first one to be sold out and was officially taken off the shelves on the 5th, ending its final glory.

As the world's first quad-core mobile phone, xphone1pro was a hot seller from the start and has continued to be a hot seller ever since.

From the time it was launched to the time it was discontinued, a total of 1 million units were sold!

As for xphone2, there is still some stock, and it is expected to be sold out around the 8th.

However, the sales volume is a little lower, after all, it was discontinued at about the same time, and it was on the market half a year less than xphone1pro.

At this pace, the Xingyi Tablet 1st Generation will also sell very quickly and is expected to be sold out around the 10th.

On the contrary, there are still some of the first generation of Xingyi TV, which can be sold until around the 15th.

Televisions are not as popular as mobile phones.

The annual sales volume of a single model is also much smaller than that of a mobile phone.

Wang Yi had a plan for this, and quickly called Jian Ziyan over:

"Get ready. We will hold a Double Eleven press conference on the 8th to launch a series of new products!"

We can’t wait until all the products are sold out before releasing new products.

On the contrary, it has to be released before it sells out.

This perfectly realizes the transition from the old to the new and gives Qualcomm another surprise!

This press conference is the first one after September and also the Double Eleven press conference!

A series of major new products will be released on November 11th.

Soon, a piece of news shocked the entire Internet.

[Xingyi Technology's Double Eleven press conference will be held at 11 am on November 8 at the Meiyou Exhibition Center! ]

As soon as the news came out, the whole network was in an uproar:

[Hahaha, the press conference is here! I told you that Xingyi Technology is cutting off a large number of old product lines not because of bankruptcy, but to clear inventory and make way for new products.]

[Yes, if you use your nose to think, you will know that Xingyi Technology will never cut off so many products for no reason, unless new products are coming. ]

[I suddenly realized that the first generation of Xingyi tablets were last year's products. They have been on the market for more than a year and a half, so it is indeed time for the second generation. ]

[There are also Xingyi TVs, many of which are also over one year old. ]

[There is no need to talk about xphone1pro and xphone2, both were last year's products, and xphone3 has been released, so it is natural that they are discontinued now. ]

[I am looking forward to it. I am really looking forward to it. This time, I guess there will be a large number of new products released. ]

[Xingyi TV 2nd generation, Xingyi tablet 2nd generation, will there be a new Xingyi phone? 】

[It is unlikely, after all, the Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus have only been released for two months and are selling well. ]

[That makes sense, but I don’t know if there will be any other surprises. Looking forward to it.]

Looking at this scene, Qualcomm’s senior executives were also confused.

Jacob's face changed drastically. "Double Eleven press conference? Xingyi Technology is going to release new products, using 28-nanometer new products to make up for all the discontinued product lines?"

Franz Quentin nodded. "That's probably the case. No wonder Xingyi Technology stopped production in large quantities after the chip shortage and even cut prices for a big promotion. It turns out that they had already prepared a new 28nm product line to make up for the old product line that was stopped due to chip shortage!"

"Fake!"

Jacob was furious: "In this case, doesn't it mean that our suppression and containment of Xingyi Technology has not only achieved little effect, but has accelerated their overall transformation from 40nm to 28nm product line?"

Another vice president, Lick Payton, sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact."

"I even suspect that Xingyi Technology has already prepared new 28-nanometer products and has long been prepared to stop production of all old product lines and switch to new 28-nanometer product lines. It's just that some people naively regard what Xingyi Technology has already planned as a great achievement in defeating Xingyi Technology, and they are complacent and bragging about it!"
