Chapter 440 Chip Layout

Haotian Research Institute, Chairman's Office.

Feng Hao pondered, thinking deeply about the current situation of Haotian Research Institute.

The communications R&D center and the chip R&D center are two centers that are in urgent need of development. They must do their best to develop and achieve breakthroughs this year.

4g and 5g communications must be the focus of the future!

Haotian's communications R&D center must keep up with progress as soon as possible and accelerate technology accumulation.

A year or two later, 4G communications would be officially commercialized, and Haotian faced many problems.

In the current commercial 3G era, Haotian has fallen behind.

In the coming 4G era, it will definitely be difficult for Haotian to catch up with the advanced ranks.

As for the future 5G era, Haotian will definitely have to face the difficulties and strive to keep up with the advanced ranks, or even surpass them!

In the field of communications, at least Haotian can no longer suffer!

Compared with the communications field, chip R&D centers face a more difficult situation.

But no matter how difficult it is, Haotian still needs to overcome it!

The technical barriers to chip design and production cannot be broken down casually.

Haotian Research Institute has a design plan for 32nm bionic chips. What is missing is the production process and the technology to turn the drawings into actual chips!

As a reborn person, Feng Hao knows the development trend of future chips.

TSMC is gradually rising and is preparing to choose to cooperate with European and American countries to focus on chip foundry.

UMC has chosen a completely different direction, including chip design, foundry, and production. Faced with the choice, UMC wanted both.

But in the end, it backfired!

The reality is often so cruel. The more you think about it, the more you end up losing everything.

In the next few years, UMC lost focus in the chip field and lagged far behind in technology.

Samsung Electronics makes the same choice, developing and producing in-house.

But after all, my ability is limited, and there is no way to invest so much energy.

Domestic and foreign chip foundries or manufacturers are dealing with the era of change, which is equivalent to leaving a glimmer of hope for Haotian.

We must seize the opportunity now and control enough voice in the chip field, otherwise we will be restricted by Europe and the United States in the future.

"Jin Yue, are you free now? Come to my office."

Taking the phone next to him, Feng Hao dialed Jin Yue's number and asked him to come to his office.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"come in."

Feng Hao expected that Jin Yue was here, put down the information in his hand, and responded casually.

"Hello, Mr. Feng."

Not long after, Jin Yue walked in and greeted Feng Hao with a smile.

"Sit down, you're welcome."

Feng Hao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, motioned him to sit down, and said to him with a smile.

"Jin Yue, your task this year is particularly heavy!"

This person is the chip director of Haotian Research Institute. He is a high-end talent poached from other chip design companies with high salary. He is a rare elite.

He has always had a very high opinion of Jin Yue!

"Mr. Feng, regarding the chip matter, I am obligated to do so. Currently, our chip research center lacks key production channels. We must find new production plans."

Jin Yue sat up straight, leaning forward slightly, with a serious expression.

He is very aware of the difficulties of the chip R&D center. Currently, Haotian Research Institute has a design plan for 32nm bionic chips, but it lacks OEM channels for production.

There are many manufacturers at home and abroad. There are OEMs and manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony abroad, and there are many domestic OEMs such as SMIC, UMC, and TSMC.

Finding an OEM was relatively simple, but unfortunately his boss didn’t think so!

"Jin Yue, how are you doing with your research on the recent 32nm bionic chip?"

Feng Hao has been providing 32nm bionic chips to the chip research and development center for some time, and now he is asking Jin Yue about the progress.

The 32 bionic chip exchanged from the black technology system is definitely a novel design solution. It does not refer to the arm architecture at all and is designed from scratch.

The research was quite difficult. Even though Feng Hao had many Cokes and Sprites to improve his learning, it still took him a lot of time to figure out the principles.

The more I understand, the more shocked I am!

Produced by black technology, it must be a high-quality product!

The superior performance of such a unique bionic chip can be felt simply from its principle and design architecture.

Feng Hao dares to assert that compared to other chips, the chips produced by Black Technology have at least 30% higher performance and 20% less energy consumption!

"Mr. Feng, this is definitely a design idea and structure we have never seen before, it's extremely awesome!"

Mentioning the 32nm chip again, Jin Yue looked surprised and spoke in amazement.

From his perspective, which specializes in chips, this is definitely an unprecedented design and an absolutely good solution.

Independent from other design architectures, specialized bionic chips. The performance has definitely improved a lot, and the energy consumption will also be reduced a lot.

"Jin Yue, you must understand all these chip technologies and achieve mass production as soon as possible. At the same time, we must accumulate more knowledge and technology and innovate again. Now it is 32nm. In the future, we will definitely upgrade the chip to 16nm. level."

Feng Hao smiled and his eyes were firm and confident. He must improve the entire chip center.

R&D capabilities.

Today's Haotian Research Institute has achieved good results, but it is only a smartphone R&D center and an artificial intelligence R&D center.

As for chips and other aspects, they still have not innovated and accumulated strong enough black technology, which is a very weak point.

"Mr. Feng, our chip R&D center will definitely go all out to seriously study the design of 32nm chips."

"Come on! Haotian Research Institute's chips have to rely on you."

"Mr. Feng, this is a lot of pressure on you, but I believe our team will handle it properly. Now we have almost thoroughly researched the design of the 32nm chip. As for developing newer technologies based on the current basis, we may even It is a 16nm chip, so it may be difficult to proceed for the time being.”

"It's hard?"

"Mr. Feng, you think so highly of our team. There are many things that can be accomplished overnight."

Facing Mr. Feng's inquiry, Jin Yue looked bitter and couldn't help but shook his head and answered with difficulty.

Are you saying that their boss doesn’t understand technology?

He understands technology at all!

He had heard that Feng Hao's research and development capabilities were at the level of a super-powerful person, quite sharp.

Can you say that the boss understands technology?

But Feng Hao's question made him particularly helpless. Do you really think that chip design and chip production are easy? !

From chip design to production to measurement, none of it is easy!

There are absolute technical barriers to these, and ordinary companies simply cannot enter!

Jin Yue's words made Feng Hao take the opportunity to come down, but the problem had to be solved.

So, he said: "Of course I know this, but we don't have much time. You must also know about the disputes between UMC, TSMC, and SMIC in recent years, right?"

"Mr. Feng, we understand this."

Jin Yue nodded and responded affirmatively.

Naturally, I am very familiar with the competition between UMC, TSMC, and SMIC.

He had been exposed to these last year. He even visited UMC and SMIC and had contact with these companies.

TSMC’s boss comes from UMC, which was the original overlord, and SMIC’s boss comes from TSMC. Due to policy reasons, TSMC and UMC are unable to build factories and sell chips in mainland China, while SMIC is the most important chip manufacturer in mainland China.

There are constant disputes between TSMC and UMC, and TSMC is suing SMIC. There are contradictions and conflicts between these chip manufacturers.

"Jin Yue, since you know, you must know that now is undoubtedly the best time. On the one hand, we are working hard to develop the chip design, and on the other hand, we are looking for chip OEMs to cooperate with."

"Of course I know this situation. There must be more investment in chip research and development, such as funds and manpower."

"Of course there is no problem. There will definitely be enough funds and manpower."

Facing Feng Hao's request, Jin Yue pondered for a moment, looked solemn, and responded to his needs seriously.

As for the needs of funds and manpower, Feng Hao will of course satisfy Jin Yue. Of course, he knows that chip design and production are resource-consuming projects.

But no matter how difficult it is, he will grit his teeth and persevere.

Besides, Haotian Research Institute currently has sufficient funds, and nearly 10 billion in funds are lying in Haotian's bank account!

"Mr. Feng, this belongs to you. With sufficient funds and manpower, it will definitely be much easier for us to develop and design chips. As for the foundry and production of chips, do you still need to follow the original idea?"

"Of course, this is an unchangeable plan. It has always been my idea to cooperate with other chip companies and establish new foundry companies."

"Mr. Feng, you can foresee the difficulty. Although for the sake of development, UMC is willing to agree to our request and establish a chip foundry company with Haotian and SMIC. But SMIC does not agree. The three parties lack any Neither side can accomplish anything!"

"If it's not difficult, you definitely don't need to take action!"

When it comes to chip production, Feng Hao must have a certain say. No matter how much money you spend, don’t hesitate!

When he was reborn in his previous life, he witnessed with his own eyes the Chinese chip industry being banned!

Coreless available!

"You are going to kill me! However, the situation at SMIC seems not to be optimistic recently. I can try again."

After Feng Hao finished speaking, Jin Yue's expression became more solemn. But he had to do what the boss asked him to do!

"Don't worry and give it a try, the entire Haotian Research Institute is supporting you!"

Seeing that Jin Yue agreed, Feng Hao immediately encouraged him. Jin Yue was undoubtedly a very good candidate, and letting him take action would save a lot of problems.

"Mr. Feng, I will definitely do my best!"

Nodding, Jin Yue shrugged and agreed.

He understood Feng Hao's idea, which was to allow Haotian Research Institute to have a complete industrial chain.

From hardware to software, from chips to systems, everything is firmly in the hands of Haotian.

"Jin Yue, you have arranged the research on the 32nm chip and are ready to set out for SMIC again and strive to start negotiations again!"

"Mr. Feng, Zhang Rujing encountered some difficulties this time, maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity to take action."

"What exactly happened?"

"SMIC is currently facing internal and external troubles. Zhang Rujing is said to have been impeached by some shareholders and may be driven out of office."

"There is still such a thing, that is an opportunity."

When Feng Hao heard this, his face lit up.

This information may be an opportunity for Haotian, an opportunity to invest in SMIC!

"Mr. Feng, I just heard about it and need to confirm the situation."

"It's okay, then you should leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'm ready to leave for the Magic City."

"Come on! The chip depends on you!"

"Okay, you will definitely live up to your trust!"
