Chapter 321 Shanhai M-4 chip, a mature 10-nanometer process, leads the way for the first time!

Midsummer arrives suddenly.

The college entrance examination is over, and I say goodbye to the life of a mountain of books and a sea of ​​topics.

Young and immature teenagers are facing the longest vacation in their lives. They spend their youth freely on the basketball court in the early morning, in the garden in the afternoon and on the commercial street in the evening.

The scorching sun shines on the asphalt road, filling the air with a hot breath.

"Mengmeng, the temperature is too high today. You should go home and rest for a while, and come back later to help."

The mother looked at her daughter's red cheeks and advised her with distress.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the heat."

Jiang Mengmeng shook his head, and the anthropomorphic AI sound effect came from the speaker of Moss Glasses.

Two months ago, her father went to Kangaroo Island to deliver food to help pay for her school fees.

Although every time we called, my father always looked cheerful and kept telling my mother and daughter not to save too much. He could make money there, but how could he not endure hardship in a foreign country.

"After 32 Cafe is launched, leave the daily operations and management to Li Ran. You can take the opportunity to take a good rest."

"Then just wait a little longer. The smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley."

Chairman of Haotong, An Meng said in a deep voice.

The blue Mulsanne led the way, followed by two BMW SUVs.

"Classmate Jiang Mengmeng, congratulations, you are the first in science this year with a total score of 687!"

Chen Heyu carried Luo Wenwen into the bathroom and urged her to brush her teeth and wash her face. When she was in a daze, he took her to run five kilometers.

"Okay, boss."

In addition, the resolution of photolithography technology and the physical properties of materials will also affect the transistor structure and computing performance of the chip.

It didn't cause any disturbance to the outside world, but it instantly exploded in the circle!

"Are you back? Sit down and eat."

Jiang Mengmeng immediately showed an expression of surprise. This score was enough to apply for the University of Science and Technology, and her dream could finally come true.

"Huayao? It's probably too much. 80% of them will choose to design it themselves and then find Shanhai Microelectronics as an OEM."

Therefore, in order to reduce the financial pressure on my father, my mother set up a simple food stall - Teppanyaki Tofu - in the open space at the back door of the community.

"Boss, I understand."

The cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang!

Chen Heyu didn't take it seriously and joked.

Later.

"Sister, you must not give it to me! You don't look like a good person upstairs!"

“In terms of CPU performance: it is equipped with the new Kimi generation and adopts a three-level architecture of 1+3+4.

"Sit down and say, how's it going?"

Chen Heyu explained.

Teacher Zhang directly stated his intention and spoke in a gentle tone.

Jiang Mengmeng felt a sore nose when she saw this, and stepped forward to hug her mother.

At the same time, material deviations and changes in process parameters will produce manufacturing tolerances, causing circuit performance to be different from what was expected during design, requiring more optimization and adjustments.

Chen Heyu said with a straight face.

As for the more mature Shanhai M-3 chip processor, it will be used in rice’s mid-range price mobile phones.

Shanhai Microelectronics actually took the lead and mastered the manufacturing process of 10-nanometer chips. The heads of companies such as Sanxing and Bay Semiconductor were in mixed moods for a while.

Ye Youcheng scratched his messy hair and said with a naive smile. His expression was a bit restrained, which was very different from the star chip designer at the chip conference.

Luo Wenwen pouted her little mouth and said softly.

"Old Wu, what is the yield rate of the 10nm process now?"

"Ask the packaging and testing department to submit a performance test report, which needs to cover processing performance, floating point computing performance, multi-threading performance and performance data. By the way, send a copy to Mr. Lei from Rice."

"1,400 acres? Is it enough?"

After spending more than half a year, Lao Mo selected the eight best candidates to serve as Chen Heyu's personal bodyguards.

"Wow! That's amazing! Girl!"

If you exceed the two-book score line, you will be rewarded with 50,000 Chinese yuan;

After Chen Heyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

In the blink of an eye, four months have passed and some results have finally been achieved.

However, in actual production, it is necessary to consider the limitations of process technology, such as photolithography technology, deposition technology, etching technology, etc. These technical shortcomings may have an impact on circuit structure and performance.

The company's 10nm production process is not mature enough, so he built the Shanhai M-4 based on the 10nm process design.

The search term "Glasses Girl 687" quickly became a hot search topic, and netizens discovered that the girl who had become famous at Weibo had scored such a high score and was indeed qualified to study at HKUST.

In terms of AI and machine learning acceleration: Equipped with the Jetson TX16 AI engine, it can provide powerful AI computing capabilities for mobile phones, support efficient neural network inference acceleration, and can be used for AI applications such as image recognition, speech recognition, and augmented reality..."

Chen Heyu nodded slightly and couldn't help but look forward to it. Ye Youcheng, this kid, is fast enough.

"Has the land for the rice car factory been approved?"

Luo Wenwen retorted, but she knew in her heart that Chen Heyu was right, so she nodded slightly and agreed.

Although Noyce has designed 10-nanometer chips at Haotong, design and manufacturing are two different things, because chip circuit diagrams can be designed based on theory and simulation without being restricted by the actual manufacturing process.

"Good afternoon, boss. I have to go to the factory now."

Chen Heyu affirmed that he was very familiar with the acting styles of Bao Jianbai and Yu Dong.

Within a few days, Apple quietly sent the electronic technical documents of the A11 Bionic chip to Shanhai Microelectronics.

Companies such as Sanxing, Bay Semiconductor, and Intel only master the 14-nanometer production process, and the 10-nanometer manufacturing process is not mature at all.

Jiang Mengmeng immediately turned around and told his mother the good news.

Wu Maozhe waved his hand, declined with a smile, and pushed Ye Youcheng aside.

"Boss, it is Shanhai M-4, which uses the self-developed 64-bit core architecture Kimi. This time it completely abandons ARM's Cortex architecture."

Rebus replied softly.

…

The core reason is that no company can provide high-quality and reliable OEM services.

Ye Youcheng picked up a microprocessor and placed it in front of Chen Heyu.

he asked casually.

Rebus thought about it for a moment and said leisurely.

In terms of GPU performance: Integrated NVIDIA Tegra K16, which has significantly improved graphics rendering, game performance and video processing, and supports higher refresh rates and higher resolution displays.

Just like the Haotong Snapdragon 825 chip, half a year after the design draft was released, it has not been able to achieve mass production.

Chen Heyu said nothing, gently rubbed her head, took out his mobile phone, and when he saw the message from He Tingbo, he suddenly felt reassured.

The mother put down the shovel excitedly. Her excitement was indescribable, and she grinned. However, her eyes gradually turned red, and tears of joy fell down.

"Teacher Zhang, thank you!"

"A stupid dog knows how to bark nonsense."

"Boss, just call me Xiaoye."

"Boss, should we hand over the Snapdragon 825 business to the other party?"

Wu Maozhe curled his lips and said unconvinced.

"Of course Xiaoye is here, he is the chief engineer and designer."

Luo Wenwen encouraged.

Noyce said humbly.

The rice automobile factory was settled in Lucheng, and his wishes were involved. Secretary Wu was willing to actively assist, help with the process, and secure the land, supporting facilities, water and electricity supply, and preferential policies, which were also key factors.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Wu, tell me."

The remaining people covered their mouths and laughed, looking like they were gloating at Old Wu's misfortune.

Noyce, Wu Maozhe, and Xie Shengdong went deep into the front line of chip manufacturing to help the factory improve the process flow and improve the yield rate of 10-nanometer chips.

Luo Wenwen squinted her eyes, like a beautiful crescent moon.

Jiang Mengmeng ignored the popularity on the Internet and still went out early and came back late every day to help her mother manage the food stall.

When he stepped into the packaging and testing department, a group of people were surrounding a logic analyzer, capturing and analyzing the level, timing and data flow of the internal signals of the chip to detect and debug logic errors and verification processing in the chip. device function.

Ding Mo stood up quickly and waved back, followed by several muscular men in suits silently following behind him.

"no!"

He washed his hands, sat aside, and chatted.

"Mom, my college entrance examination results are out, 687 points!"

Luo Wenwen thought for a moment and said softly.

It can be said that Shanhai M-4 is Shanhai Microelectronics, a truly cross-generation product. At least in terms of performance and power consumption, it has reached the flagship level of Intel and Haotong.

"Let's talk about Ye Gong, are you satisfied with your new work?"

"Let's wait and see which way the wind blows."

The next morning, the east was white.

"Old Wu, next time I hear you call me Xiaoye, I will deduct your bonus. From now on, be polite and call me Ye Gong!"

Chen Heyu asked rhetorically.

Hearing the movement at the door, everyone slowly raised their heads and saw that the person coming was Chen Heyu, and greeted him with a smile.

Chen Heyu gathered a group of people and held a brief meeting. After it was over, he called Rebus and informed him in advance that he was going to use the Shanhai M-4 chip in rice's new mobile phone products next year.

Only when it comes to professional skills, is he the high-spirited genius!

As long as the total score exceeds the score line, the company will reward you with 100,000 Chinese yuan;

"Chen Hansheng, the 15th class senior of the Department of Engineering, watched in real name. School girls may wish to leave your contact information. When the semester starts, the senior will personally receive you."

“I also want to apply to HKUST, but they said that the Fortune Treasure Credit Score cannot be counted!”

"The foundation is not bad, just keep persevering."

"After a trip to Shanhai Microelectronics, Shanhai M-4 chip was finally made. It is just the last step before domestic mobile phones can realize independent chips."

Wu Maozhe said with a slight regret.

Chen Heyu gently knocked on her forehead and persuaded her: "It's better to exercise. Otherwise, sitting in the office every day, your cardiopulmonary function will get worse and worse. I'm afraid that in the future, you will die earlier than me."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Jiang Mengmeng glanced at the caller number, and then chose to answer the call with Moss Air glasses: "Hello, Teacher Zhang."

"Lao Mo, send me to Shanhai Microelectronics R&D Center."

Lao Mo drove him back to the villa area. He pushed the door open and stepped out of the car, only to see Chamipidianpidian coming over to greet him.

The person in charge of the packaging and testing department agreed.

"I'm afraid you are working too hard. You see, we have been working hard for so long and there is no movement at all. It would be better to recuperate for a while.

Among them, 1 Kimi-X1 core reaches 2.84GHz and has excellent single-core performance; 3 Kimi-A60 cores provide efficient multi-core performance; 4 Kimi-A55 cores are used for light-load tasks, thereby reducing power consumption.

There are also oscilloscopes, signal generators, pyroelectric microscopes and power analyzers placed next to them. These are important physical tools needed in the chip design and testing process. They can provide detailed data and analysis results to help chip designers. Evaluate and improve chip processor performance.

"Well, I understand. Are Noyce, Lao Wu and the others in the office or the laboratory?"

"72%, still not 80%."

He ordered to Ding Mo.

Chen Heyu asked casually.

After Chen Heyu found out, he asked the heads of more than a dozen companies, including Future Technology, Shanhai Microelectronics, Shanhai Film and Television, Gigafactory, and Moss Electronics, to start counting the college entrance examination scores of employees' children.

Elites with strong physical skills and first-class driving skills are sent to the beautiful country to receive more complex and comprehensive knowledge of shooting, fighting, first aid and medical treatment.

According to his understanding, in the current world, most semiconductor companies and mobile phone manufacturers with independent chip research and development capabilities have chip design solutions involving 10 nanometers, but they have never been able to find a suitable foundry.

Business is booming, making 200 yuan a day, but it is the dog days of summer, and standing in front of the stove, I feel like a grilled fish, and I can't stop sweating on my face.

Chen Heyu added.

"Don't you still call me Lao Wu?"

"Du~du~du!"

And this provision is written directly into the employee handbook and becomes a fixed part of salary and benefits.

"Secretary Wu negotiated and secured 1,400 acres of industrial land. Construction will start next month. I plan to build a battery factory first and initially cooperate with Lucheng Jiu'an Automobile Company to achieve mass production as soon as possible."

"Bah, bah, bah! You just left early!"

"What are you doing? You want me to be your little wife at home again."

Chen Heyu persuaded.

"That's right, my hands and feet are just a little sore. You can give me a massage when I get back."

"Is it okay if I don't run?"

After the establishment of Shanhai Security, thousands of people were recruited one after another. They had rich experience in the army. After professional training, those with less ability were sent to Shanhai's companies and factories to be responsible for daily security work.

Chen Heyu turned around and asked.

He commented with a smile.

"Mr. He, make an appointment for me with Lu Lei, the president of Apple Greater China, and tell him that there is a big deal to be discussed."

"Unless there is a huge technical gap between their self-developed chips and the Shanhai M-4 in terms of performance and battery life, these people can see the reality clearly."

After handling this matter, he pushed open the office door, walked into the elevator, and went straight to the lobby on the first floor.

Luo Wenwen said coquettishly.

"I love you, I love you so much. You are such a lovely sister. You must be good-looking and knowledgeable!"

Chen Heyu patted Ye Youcheng on the shoulder and criticized Wu Maozhe.

He Tingbo explained.

"That's enough. Let's produce a batch first and supply it to Rice Technology."

The IPO prospectus of 32 Cafe has passed the review, and with the efforts of Li Ran, Wu Jingjing and others, it will be successfully listed at the end of June.

The headquarters building of Shanhai Microelectronics slowly came into view.

Fry the tender tofu until golden brown on both sides, smear it with secret sauce, and sprinkle with lush coriander segments. It has a moderate salty, spicy taste and is very popular among students and working people.

Ye Youcheng said calmly.

Starting from tomorrow, I will take you running together to save you from sleeping in all day."

Chen Heyu asked straight to the point.

If you exceed the score line of three books, you will be rewarded with 10,000 Chinese yuan;

After getting off the bus, Chen Heyu walked straight into the lobby on the first floor and met He Tingbo head-on.

"In the packaging and testing department of the R&D center, the first batch of samples of Shanhai M-4 chips have just been produced and are busy testing performance and power consumption indicators."

…

"It's enough. If it's bigger, the land cost will be too high and the company's net profit margin will be reduced accordingly."

"Woof~woof!"

Chen Heyu nodded. The yield rate of 72% increased by nearly 20% compared to 53% half a year ago.

"Dami and Lianxiang will definitely support you. If we can win Huayao, the Dahua market will definitely be fine."

Not long after.

A few days later.

"Okay, if there is any progress, please synchronize with me."

He Tingbo replied.

In a short period of time, photolithography technology, chemical vapor deposition technology and etching technology cannot make major breakthroughs, and the yield rate will naturally not be significantly improved.

The President of Haotong Greater China reported back to the headquarters.

"boss!"

Before Chen Heyu left, he asked He Tingbo to make arrangements.

Chen Heyu kicked it away in disgust, took off his coat as he walked, and hung it on the hanger.

Luo Wenwen said with a smile.

"I'm afraid not! Sanxing, on the way to Shanhai Microelectronics headquarters!"

The president of Dahua District smiled bitterly.

"Walt?!"

An Meng was stunned for a moment, feeling deeply worried in his heart.
