"Tingbo, how's the progress of the chip design based on the ARM architecture?"
Huanyu Technologies had two projects in the chip research and development department.
One was the research and development of a completely independent architecture. This was the most difficult part at the moment.
The other was an ARM chip that was used to accumulate experience.
"Boss Chen, our design has been completed."
He Tingbo took out the chip design plan. "This is our chip design plan."
"Let me take a look."
Chen Yu naturally couldn't understand the chip design plan, but he could still roughly understand the chip design plan.
Of course, this plan was based on Chen Yu's previous idea.
It was generally inclined towards the multimedia area.
Which was to integrate various multimedia settings into the chip.
This way, the mobile phone manufacturer could directly bring the chip over and wouldn't need to do any more debugging.
There wasn't much technology involved. It was just an idea.
However, this idea wasn't something that anyone else could come up with.
“OK。”
After looking at the plan, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Then, next, focus on the research of our independent architecture chip."
The independent architecture cost a lot of money, but the task was tight and the difficulty was high. Until now, it had only reached 30%.
However, Chen Yu wasn't in a hurry.
He still had time.
As long as he could establish a firm foothold in the semiconductor chip industry in the next few years, it would be much easier to introduce a completely independent architecture chip in the future.
…
"Boss Zhang, should we look for Chen Yu from Huanyu Technologies?"
"What can Huanyu Technologies do?"
Zhang Rujing was about to have a headache.
This was the biggest crisis he had encountered since he founded Huanyu International.
He knew that if this crisis wasn't resolved, Huanyu International might not be finished, but it would never have the opportunity to catch up with Taiji Electric.
When his assistant mentioned Chen Yu, Zhang Rujing subconsciously shook his head.
Huanyu Technologies had recently entered the mobile phone market and even cooperated with VIA Electronics.
However, at the end of the day, Huanyu Technologies was still in the Internet business.
Although the Internet was very innovative, there wasn't much technology involved.
However, the semiconductor industry relied on the accumulation of technology.
Their technology was also the reason why Taiji's electricity prices had dropped drastically.
However, it was a pity that the 0.25 micron technology had only been developed recently. Not to mention lowering the price, even if it was a normal production, their cost would still be a lot more expensive than Taiji.
However, Zhang Rujing didn't think about Chen Yu. Chen Yu came to Centre International.
"Boss Zhang, it seems like Chen Yu is here."
"He came?"
"He just arrived."
Assistant Qiu Ciyun put down the phone.
Zhang Rujing didn't think that Chen Yu from Huanyu Technologies would have a solution.
However, as Chen Yu was a major shareholder of Centre International, Zhang Rujing did not dare to neglect him.
"Boss Zhang, I have to apologize to you. If it wasn't for me, you might not have been invited to Tai City by Zhang Zhongmou."
Chen Yu and Zhang Rujing had met a few times.
It was just that Chen Yu didn't talk much with Zhang Rujing before, so they weren't very familiar with each other.
"Boss Chen, you're treating me like an outsider."
Zhang Rujing shook his head and said, "Zhang Zhongmou spent a lot of effort to set this up. Even if I didn't go to Tai City, we wouldn't be any better."
Zhang Rujing wasn't angry that Zhang Zhongmou invited him to Tai City.
Centre International's technology was much worse than Taiji's technology. Taiji had a series of methods to compete with Centre International.
"I think so too."
Chen Yu also nodded.
After the two parties sat down and exchanged some pleasantries, Chen Yu went straight to the point.
"Boss Zhang, before I came here, I discussed with VIA and prepared to hand over the C4 chip VIA to Centre International."
VIA's chip was manufactured by Taiji.
As for why they didn't hand it over to Centre International, it was completely VIA's good cooperation with Taiji.
Although VIA and Huanyu Technologies were partners, VIA and Centre International were not partners.
This time, Chen Yu had paid a certain price to transfer the C4 chip OEM business to the World Trade Center International.
Zhang Rujing could see this as well.
Whether VIA cooperated with Huanyu Technologies or not, VIA was still a Tai City company.
VIA Technologies trusted Taiji Electric the most, not Centcom International.
Chen Yu spent a lot of effort to hand over the C4 chip business to him.
"Thank you, Boss Chen."
Zhang Rujing thanked him politely, but he still smiled bitterly and said, "Taiji lowered their price too much this time. Even if we were to manufacture the C4 chip, it wouldn't be of much use."
Although the netbook industry seemed to be doing well, it was only on the surface.
Currently, only Huanyu Technologies and Shenzhou Computer used the C4 chip.
Overall, the quantity was very small.
Even if Centre International were to take over the OEM business, they wouldn't last long.
"Boss Zhang, don't worry. Other than PC chips, we also have mobile chips."
Chen Yu naturally knew that this business wasn't big. Even if they were to give it to Centre International, it would only last them for a while.
What he brought over today wasn't PC chips, but mobile chips.
The majority of the PC chip market was controlled by Intel and AMD. Even if Huanyu Technologies could enter, they would only be able to get a small share of the market.
Moreover, they would have to fight countless rounds with them in the future. It was too difficult.
However, it was completely different in the face of the terrifying mobile phone market.
However, Zhang Rujing obviously didn't know what mobile chips Huanyu Technologies had. He asked curiously, "Mobile chips?"
"Boss Chen, your company's mobile chips are from Philips and Ying Feiling, right?"
"We used to use theirs, but we recently designed one ourselves."
"You designed it yourself?"
"This is our chip design. Boss Zhang, you're an expert in the chip industry. Please give us some advice."
Chen Yu took out a USB and handed it to Zhang Rujing.
"Let me take a look …"
Zhang Rujing inserted the USB into the computer.
Although he said that he would take a look, Zhang Rujing wasn't very optimistic.
Of course, he knew that many companies in the country wanted to make chips. Moreover, many companies had already taken action.
For example, Lenovo had previously designed a chip.
However, things like chips weren't something that could be made just because you wanted to.
First, the design. Generally speaking, it was difficult to surpass others in terms of chip design due to domestic technology.
Of course, this also depended on the authorization from ARM.
Generally, domestic companies that could obtain authorization from ARM were of a lower level.
Could you imagine, with such a low-level architecture, what kind of high-level chip could you design?
"Tianwen?"
Seeing the two words "Tianwen" on the chip design, Zhang Rujing was even more confused.
Obviously, Tianwen was the name of this chip.
But this was too arrogant.
They had just designed a chip and named it Tianwen.
At this moment, Zhang Rujing didn't have much hope for this chip.
The ideal was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
An excellent chip wouldn't become awesome just because you gave it such an awesome name.
Sure enough, this was the truth.
When Zhang Rujing looked carefully at the chip named "Tianwen", Zhang Rujing realized that this was a very ordinary chip.
Well, it wasn't that bad, but it could only be said to be average.
There weren't many flaws, and there weren't many highlights.
With Zhang Rujing's decades of experience in the semiconductor industry, he felt that even if this chip was made, not many people would use it.
However, although he didn't think highly of the chip designed by Chen Yu.
But Chen Yu's design gave Zhang Rujing some ideas. Why didn't he design his own chip?
But why didn't chip manufacturers design their own chips?
It wasn't that they didn't have the ability, but Zhang Rujing understood that there were specializations in the industry.
They just needed to be chip manufacturers.
The chip design would be done by others.
Taiji Electric had forced Zhang Rujing to use all kinds of methods to reduce their prices.
Rather than that, he might as well go all out and design his own chip.
Although this was what he thought, Zhang Rujing also knew that this method was probably not going to work.
They did have the ability to design their own chips, but no matter how good their technology was, how could their chips compare to Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, or Ying Feiling?
If they could compare, then Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Ying Feiling wouldn't be able to make a living.
When he thought about this, Zhang Rujing felt a little disheartened.
He suddenly felt that his chip foundry business was about to stop.
"Hey, what's this?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Rujing's face became extremely ugly.
At this moment, he didn't even have the mood to look at the design of "Tianwen" anymore.
However, just as Zhang Rujing was about to close the design, he found a very interesting design.
