Chapter 406: Patent issues are not a matter

"The investment in chips is huge. If there is no state support, I am afraid we will face funding problems." Wang Lao said.
First of all, the first question is myself. The current 4KB memory project is a national key project and has funding. This general-purpose processor has no national funding. It depends on personal investment.
"The question of funding is not something we scientists have to consider, Mr. Wang, what do you think?" Qin Guan's rhetorical question caused Mr. Wang's heart to be shocked again.
This is a systemic issue, and it is also a big problem faced by the later generations of Godson. Scientists should be steadfast in scientific research. However, many scientific researchers need to be versatile, not only doing scientific research, but also supporting In the end, if a scientific researcher wants to become a businessman, the project ends without a problem.
Now, in Qin Guan's eyes, you don't need to worry about funding issues, you just need to do research for me!
"Then the next step is the technical route." Wang Lao said: "We can only avoid detours if we aim at a safe technical route. Now, there are many technical disputes in the world."
Qin Guan knew that in future generations, after all, he would have studied in many ways, and almost everyone should have computer knowledge.
The battle for this route is the battle between the simplified instruction set and the complex instruction set.
The processor not only has hardware, but also software. Only in this way can it complete normal tasks.
The complex instruction set is conducive to the writing of low-level programs, but it is not easy for the processor to operate. Therefore, the streamlining of the instruction set has increasingly become the mainstream. Especially on general-purpose processors, a reduced instruction set is the best choice.
In the simplified instruction set, X86 has to be mentioned. In later generations, as its application continues to be widely used, this instruction set has become the standard instruction set of desktop processors.
The reason why the original Loongson could not be promoted was because it was unable to obtain the authorization of the X86 instruction set and could only use the MIPS instruction set. This was impossible, and the result was that it was not universal.
For example, because there is no certain instruction set, the Loongson processor cannot process animation, resulting in the video cannot be played. How can such a chip be installed on a personal computer to satisfy you?
But now, for Qin Guan, these are not matters, Wang Lao mentioned the most important technical route, Qin Guan only understands the outline, but this is enough.
"Just aim at Intel's 8086 and follow their technical route." Qin Guan said.
This is an ecological chain problem. If one chooses the MIPS architecture now, it may make the MIPS architecture mainstream. However, Qin Guan cannot take this risk because Qin Guan is not sure and he is not an expert in this area.
Since Intel will become the boss of the later generations, the technical route is correct. There have been so many companies researching CPUs, and finally withdrew, leaving Intel and AMD, both of which use X86, which shows this The road is no problem.
Whoever sets the standard has the right to decide. In the later generations, the arrogant Eagle State suppressed Han Guo's high-tech company. In fact, it was because of the 5G technical standard formulation that it was afraid of being preempted by Han Guo's company. It was only a patent fee. , It will allow companies that set standards to obtain huge benefits.
Wang Lao has stayed abroad and has seen the world. From a technical point of view, he has developed a brand new instruction set. It is definitely better to find a ready-made one, and the difficulty will be less. However, this will also bring Here comes a new question.
Wang Lao said to Qin Guan: "Comrade Qin Guan, in this case, how do we obtain Intel's patent authorization?"
This set of instructions was developed by Intel. If you want to use it, you have to get authorization from others.
Hearing what Wang said, Qin Guan shook his head: "Wang, this matter is not something our scientific and technical personnel have to consider. I will solve it."
Don't worry about money, don't worry about technology patents, Qin Guan has many methods.
First of all, is patent right a shit? Foreign countries recognize any patent rights, but they do not have them in China. The current domestic laws and regulations are very imperfect. There is no such thing as a patent. At the beginning, people from the music country wanted to find the infringement of Steyr heavy trucks.
Intel, come here to make trouble, come to China to fight a lawsuit, are you afraid of you?
This is only the worst possible. In fact, the situation should not be so bad.
Because now, Intel is not the only one, and there are many other manufacturers that are producing general-purpose processors and adopt different architectures.
What Intel wants most now is to make their X86 architecture bigger, so that more companies can use this architecture, and eventually occupy the mainstream and become the industry standard.
In order to achieve this goal, Intel has also licensed X86 to many companies in history.
In addition to AMD, there are also cyrix, VIA, and sis, all of which have this kind of patent rights. Therefore, Intel will certainly license this patent to Loongson in order for their systems to be widely used. This is not the time for later generations to suppress, this is just the beginning, when everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high.
When the 8086 processor was released, it did not receive much attention and was not widely adopted at the beginning. On the contrary, IBM was the leader in the computer industry. The predecessor of their POWER processor, IBM801, was the first streamlined instruction system. The processor, about 120 instructions, is the real big brother.
Intel's position in the processor world is not so good, and it is definitely not the same as the rest of the world.
If Intel authorizes it, then we will accept it generously. If they don’t authorize it, we will do it in China. I will make my own and produce it for my own use. What else can you do? Sue me in the court of your Eagle Country? If the report is won, there is no ability to enforce it.
As for sanctions, it is still honeymoon period.
In the future, when your own CPU has grown bigger and stronger, and started to export to foreign countries, it is a big deal to buy a patent right from a company that has fallen, such as SIS, or even merge this company directly.
Qin Guan had made this preparation long ago.
What Wang Lao thought about were all problems one by one, but now, the problems are solved by Qin Guan with a few words. In Qin Guan's eyes, these are not problems.
Qin Guan and Wang Lao are constantly discussing that Wang Lao’s chopsticks have stopped moving, and have been listening to Qin Guan’s statement. Now, Qin Guan has solved all the problems, and Wang Lao is also saying the last A difficult problem.
"We still need talents." When Mr. Wang said these words, his mouth was helpless: "I am old."
