Chapter 389: RISC-V architecture! Pointing at the CPU!

When they landed at Pudong Airport with a special plane carrying North American negotiators, they immediately received a grand and friendly reception. The representatives stayed in the most luxurious five-star hotel in Shanghai, accompanied by Hong Tao and Yu Chengdong. life.

On the first day, foreigners thought that Chinese people were too enthusiastic, and the food was interesting and delicious.

The next day, foreigners said that the liquor was too spicy and had more stamina than expected, so Hong Tao suggested that he drink some light rice wine today.

On the third day, foreigners have said that rice wine tastes smooth and tastes better than white wine, but after drinking too much, it's going to die.

Wu Hongtao blamed the hospitality badly, and decided to let the hotel stew the sober soup and change the drink to a lighter beer, Wusu beer ...

"Yesterday we ate Shanghainese dishes, and the sauce was a little bit heavy, so at night I invited everyone to eat Huaiyang cuisine, which is famous for its exquisiteness and exquisiteness. The tofu is cut like silk, and the chefs of Huaiyang cuisine have all learned Kung Fu Make sure it's fun! "It was the fifth day, and Yu Chengdong introduced them happily.

The word
kungfu
immediately aroused strong interest from foreigners. Yu Chengdong took the opportunity to say that in order to eat authentic Kungfu Huaiyang cuisine, he had to go to Yangzhou himself. Anyway, it is better to go to Suzhou gardens before going to Yangzhou.

逛 After shopping in Suzhou for two days, after arriving in Yangzhou, Yu Chengdong also said that since they are all here, everyone should go to Nanjing to take a look. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties will not regret it ...

几个 How many people who can play high technology and live in such a high position are fools?

I didn't use it for a few days, and they found out that the Huaxia people didn't seem to intend to negotiate immediately, but were delaying time.

At first glance, it is the Spring Festival. As long as the negotiation plan is dragged into the Spring Festival and the country is closed, it can continue to be extended.

An uneasy atmosphere spread rapidly. Past history has already proven that Luo Jia is by no means a good man, but a typical adulterer who is treacherous and ruthless. He deliberately delayed the time and apparently prepared an unspeakable person. plan of.

So, the West immediately acted, using all kinds of relationships and strengths, to find out why Xingchen Technology deliberately delayed negotiations?

I soon found out why.

RISC-V!

This is a letter combination that all Chinese tech companies should remember, because it is the key to breaking the hegemony of the chip in the case of a total blockade in the West.

RISC-V, led by the University of California, Berkeley, is an open source processor instruction set. Based on this instruction set, users can develop their own processors for free.

The main founder of RISC-V is David Patterson, who has won the Turing Award. Mr. David has a very high status and belongs to the great master of computer architecture. He swept the world and opened the school.

Not long ago, Mr. David opened a RISC-V laboratory in Huaxia, located at Tsinghua Berkeley College in Shenzhen, short for short, ready to let the open source processor instruction set land in Huaxia.

As the investigation unfolded, Luo Jia's plan B was finally exposed to Western vision. They were shocked by Luo Jia's ambitions, and at the same time, they were fortunate to discover Luo Jia's true purpose.

In the field of semiconductors, there are countless products, the most high-end of which is undoubtedly the general-purpose processor, that is, the chip referred to as CPU.

RISC-V this set of open source technology is the basis for making CPU!

The reason why Xingchen Technology has been delayed is because they are in close contact with RISC-V while talking with the Semiconductor Alliance.

掌握 After mastering the lithography machine and wafer, Xingchen Technology started the plan to build a CPU!

消息 The news came out of nowhere, scorching Linen and everyone's scalp.

The famous ring in the Lord of the Rings is engraved with a piece of Mordo text circulating in Middle-earth. The ring is all supreme, the Supreme guides the demons, the ring calls for all rings, the rings come together, and darkness falls.

The status of the CPU and the lake is equivalent to that of the Lord of the Rings. If anyone can make this thing, they can directly stage a big drama where the king of the semiconductor field returns.

Neons, French, Koreans, British, Canadians, and even Papua New Guineas, any people on earth, any country, but no one wants to build a CPU.

Huaxia people are no exception, of course, it's awkward. Scientists dream about it, they want to go crazy!

想 However, in the real world, in the real world, the Chinese semiconductor industry started late, and it was still awkward.

In reality, Academician Ni Guangnan, who wanted to develop independently, was crowded out everywhere, preaching the conscience of the US Emperor who was better to buy, but he was in control. In such a world, how could science workers not be chilled.

It is easy to get on the thief boat, but difficult to get off the thief boat.

Academician Ni Guangnan once said sadly, "Do you really think that Microsoft is a good person?" Of course they know who is using piracy. With their technical strength, it is not easy to block pirated copies. However, they just do not block and let the pirated Windows in Huaxia region run rampant.

It is because of the free Windows that the domestic operating system was stifled. How could it not develop? Now you know that Microsoft is great? The free ones are the most expensive ones, and our lives have been passed on to the West!

The semiconductor field is even more so. If you want to create a CPU, you must first master the instruction set and architecture. Whether it is Intel ’s Core and Xeon, or AMD ’s Ryzen, to investigate its source, it uses X86 architecture.

The unicorn and Apple's A series, as well as the mobile phone SOCs made by Samsung and MediaTek, are sourced from the IP of ARM.

There are also domestic CPUs, such as the Shenwei Taihu Zhiguang supercomputer, which is the Shenwei 26010 processor, developed by Jiangnan Computer Research Institute, and the performance is not bad.

But it is a pity that Shenwei is a special-purpose product, which is valuable but cannot be used to break the Western monopoly.

In addition, China also has Zhaoxin Group.

Imagine that year, after the bankruptcy of VIA Group, the third-largest general-purpose CPU manufacturer in the world, a number of new companies were spawned on the giant's body. The two most famous ones were HTC and Zhaoxin.

Technical laymen may never think that the HTC Group, which is so lonely today, was a super technology company that can even make CPU, VIA's mobile phone department.

During its heyday, VIA was one of the world's most powerful semiconductor companies. Hanging a long list of famous Japanese and South Korean companies was a glorious Chinese light.

However, history will ultimately make the most impartial ruling.

After all, Wanwanwan is only a province in China. The leadership of the rattled eyes and the small-hearted people are rotten with a good hand.

Fujiconn, a crooked company like Unity, in the final analysis, it is just a leeches lying on the mainland to blood. Once you lose your identity and identity, you will have nothing left besides TSMC.

All in all, after the VIA Group fell, the mobile phone department became today's HTC. Within a few years, HTC was not recognized by the Big Four and Samsung and Apple. It used to be a super that could even be made by the CPU. Technology companies have finally become the eighth-ranked small-scale factory in the science and technology industry in the hands of people, and they can only say that they deserve it.

生存 In order to survive, VIA cross-licensed X86 to Huaxia Zhaoxin, which became China's plan A in the general CPU field.

Huaxia, a nation that has been tossing for thousands of years, only the last breath that was once weak has not died, which shows that its desire to survive is still very strong.

Just as China has three major army groups in the field of memory chips, in the field of general-purpose CPUs, in addition to Zhaoxin Group, we have Plan B, which is Haiguang Group.

On April 25, 2016, in the absence of large-scale news reports and an unusually low-key situation, Haiguang Group and AMD Group signed an agreement. Haiguang Group invested 290 million US dollars, plus future dividends, and bought AMD Group's ZEN1 architecture license and X86. Instruction set authorization.

Those who do not understand the semiconductor and technology industries may not be clear about the value of this agreement. This is the first time in the history of Huaxia to obtain a world-leading general-purpose CPU architecture.

These technologies are digested and absorbed. If the CPU is made, it is directly the computing power of the first or second generation Core. With the graphics card, it can even eat chicken smoothly. The technical content is too high, not even the price of 300 million US dollars, it is simply It is the price of Chinese cabbage, which is almost the same as that of Bai Bai.

Facts have proved that they are also of Chinese descent, but Chinese and Chinese are different.

As the world ’s second-largest CPU manufacturer, AMD ’s President, Ms. Su Zifeng, is a respectable Chinese. This transaction, which significantly reduced Huaxia, was reached through Ms. Su ’s efforts. It may not be necessary to write down Ms. Su's name.

There is also an interesting gossip. The founder Huang Renxun of Nvidia Group, the world's most powerful graphics card manufacturer, is Ms. Su Zifeng's watch.

Of course, due to well-known reasons, this matter has not been promoted with great fanfare, and 99% of the people in China do not know about Haiguang Group.

The consequences of this incident are as follows.

First, Haiguang got the first generation of EPYC, the penultimate development version. It is a complete X86 high-performance server SOC, with 128 PCI-E3.0 channels.

Second, this architecture itself belongs to 4 ZENDIE pieces, that is to say, if you open it directly, you can also build a complete desktop-level X86 processor, which is China's plan B under extreme conditions.

Third ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is possible that AMD is one of all semiconductor companies in North America. A few of them have a friendly relationship with China. It is rumored that if the trade war did not happen too quickly, AMD would have to use the ZEN architecture The second generation was also sold to Haiguang.

The trade war is just the appearance that ordinary people can see, and under this appearance, the undercurrent has been surging for many years.

Although in history, there have been shameless counterfeiters and inadequate eliminated people, but to this day, we still have two lines of defense in the CPU field. They are Zhaoxin and Haiguang. Both Zhaoxin and Haiguang can be used. Although it is not easy to use, at least it cannot die.

I used to think that in the West, if you could not die, it would be the upper limit of Huaxia in the field of general-purpose CPUs.

Until today, horrible news came, and the West suddenly discovered that Star Technology was cooperating with RISC-V!

what is this concept?

英特尔 Regardless of Intel, AMD, or the two major preparatory groups of China Xia Zhaoxin and Haiguang, all the CPU technology has been developed based on the X86 architecture.

The direction of Xingchen Technology is RISC-V!

They have to start a new stove and rebuild a complete set of CPU architecture and instruction set based on RISC-V technology!

Everyone plays in the case of X86 architecture, only Xingchen Technology, they don't play!
