my return to life

The passionate catharsis again and again gradually calmed down the emotions of the audience and those watching through the live webcast.

Especially the audience, after all, their throats and the palms of their hands are a little sore.

This video of less than 4 minutes is to make them more and more curious about the same question:

"Having said so much, I understand how awesome and powerful it is, but I have a question. When did you start working on mobile phone chips?"

"Don't tell me so much, I already know that Shenlong 1 is the most powerful in the world, can you explain how the frontier changed its magic?"

"Why don't you reveal a little bit of news in advance?"

"Co-authoring just because your company is called Frontier, you can do a frontier trick, right?"

"I don't want to watch the video, I want to hear the explanation!"

"Come and tell me, how can Frontier be so awesome?"

"..."

Ok……

Basically curious about the same question.

Whether to talk or not, Fang Nian was actually a little curious.

After all, he doesn't understand chip design technology.

Academician Chen Jianye got off the plane yesterday morning and went to Yangpu. He raised the tape-out results with Fang Nian in the casual restaurant.

At first, Fang Nian thought it was because the Frontier Science Developers Conference was the highest priority of the Frontier, and it was difficult for Baize Lab to report failure after the tape-out was completed.

However, the result given by Academician Chen is a relatively conservative word: "The test was carried out on site for two days directly after the TSMC current chip, and it was basically successful."

Correct.

Basically successful.

At that time, Academician Chen didn't mention anything else.

It didn't say, ah, the frontier science developer conference, the entire frontier department contributed its own strength, and even the frontier academics specially invited some professors to share technology, but Bai Ze didn't have anything.

Because of Academician Chen's conservative answer, Fang Nian did not immediately make a decision to release Shenlong 1.

He just asked Academician Chen to take another look and try again.

This morning, Academician Chen, who was in Shencheng and did not return to Luzhou, contacted Fang Nian again to meet.

It clarified in detail the results of various limit tests of Shenlong 1.

Not only the Baize Lab, but also the Nuwa Lab have exploded together.

The result is that after two failed tape-outs, the third tape-out was finally completely successful, and the limit test results show that it is far ahead of similar processing chips, and the performance of the central processing unit is fully improved compared to the Apple A5. 70%.

Fang Nian asked Academician Chen twice in a row: Can the test results be completely valid in such a short period of time.

Academician Chen answered twice in a row: Yes.

Then Fang Nian made a decision to cancel several technical exchange meetings and change it to the first show of the frontier Baize Shenlong 1.

He also specially made a brief report with Du Mi and Sun Ganlong.

but……

Fang Nian still doesn't know how Bai Ze suddenly made Shenlong 1 so awesome.

The 28nm process will indeed be much stronger than the 45nm process.

But, didn't I say before...

Is the preset performance 5% higher than that of the Apple A20?

Now how to conservatively estimate that the performance has increased by 70%?

Why is it suddenly far ahead of all other mobile phone processing chips in the world?

"..."

...............

Watching the demo played on the big screen, Fang Nian beeped softly to Lu Weiyu next to him: "Time is still too tight, this demo doesn't meet my expectations."

"How to say?" Lu Weiyu was puzzled, "I think it's pretty good."

Fang Nian briefly described his thoughts: "My personal expectation is that in a laboratory, an engineer will directly introduce, instead of narrating and listing parameters."

"It's more immersive, isn't it?" Lu Weiyu said, rolling her eyes.

Fang Nian nodded, and then sighed: "Honestly speaking, I am as curious as everyone else now, how is Shenlong 1 so awesome."

"The requirements of the planning standards, including the name, are all determined by you. Are you still curious about this?" Lu Weiyu was shocked.

Seeing this, Fang Nian spread his hands solemnly: "You seem to suspect that I understand chip design?"

Hearing this, Lu Weiyu rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue embarrassingly: "Mine, mine, it's okay. Academician Chen will talk about it later."

"..."

Indeed, within half a minute after the demo was played, Academician Chen Jianye walked onto the stage again.

The academician's face was full of red, and he was full of energy. He looked at the audience and smiled: "Maybe everyone still has some doubts, because there is no way to actually demonstrate the chip alone now;

However, I will answer some of your doubts, which is a simple technology sharing and exchange. "

After a short pause, Chen Jianye looked calm: "First of all, let me explain a core problem. Frontier Baize Laboratory is a laboratory that only has the ability to design mobile phone SoCs, and does not have the ability to develop chips;

We only carried out a certain independent design on the authorization of the instruction architecture of arm;

According to incomplete statistics, the independent intellectual property rights of Shenlong 1 only account for 10%. "

"This is why when we introduced the parameters just now, we compared it with the Apple A5 chip, because the Apple A5 also uses the ARMv7 instruction set and Cortex-A9 architecture authorized by arm."

"Specifically, companies including Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, and MediaTek have adopted this model in mobile phone processing chips;

Usually, the industry believes that only companies with independent micro-architecture research and development capabilities are considered capable of chip research and development, and micro-architecture research and development is also one of the most technologically-intensive fields in the chip industry. "

In the end, Chen Jianye made a brief summary: "Using Fang Nianfang's general words, the work done by Bai Ze Lab is just general solution integration; at most...

It was after putting together the scheme, and doing some, um... trivial, self-design work. "

After Chen Jianye explained this point of view, there were good-natured laughter from the audience.

Someone shouted: "Boss Fang is awesome, everything is insignificant!"

"..."

Then Chen Jianye said: "The next time is 10 minutes to answer, please ask professional questions as much as possible."

Soon there are staff shuttles among them.

If someone raises his hand very high, a microphone will be stuffed into his hand.

"Academician Chen, according to your statement, the mobile phone processing chip industry is currently in the same mode, so why does Shenlong 1 have such strong performance parameters with the same instruction structure, surpassing Apple A5 in all aspects?"

Academician Chen answered this question from a professional perspective with a smile.

"...So in general, the manufacturing process is a very important reason, and of course Bai Ze's design is also very important."

During the 10 minutes, some professional questions were continuously raised in cooperation.

Includes floating point processing performance.

Including chip integrated graphics processing performance and so on.

Also includes out-of-order execution.

Also includes CPU 'dynamic' frequency.

It also includes questions about 'All Netcom'.

Academician Chen answered one by one from a professional point of view, and it was easy and freehand.

This is a knowledge reserve system for academicians who want to contribute their whole life to China IC.

Even some tricky questions were answered very professionally.

Standing under the spotlight, Academician Chen Jianye seemed to be glowing when explaining professional issues in popular language.

Endless romance and freehand brushwork.

Although this was the first time Chen Jianye faced so many audiences, the academician handled it calmly.

10 minutes is up in no time.

Academician Chen Jianye made a gesture: "Due to time constraints, I can only answer the last question."

"Please ask."

At this time, the microphone was snatched by a media reporter.

"I'm sorry, Academician Chen, I'm a media reporter, and my question has nothing to do with my major;

I would like to ask a question on behalf of countless audiences on the site and on the Internet, how did Frontier suddenly have a mobile phone processing chip, and the performance of Shenlong 1 is so high that it is completely at the forefront of the world. "

"Please also answer."

Seeing this, Chen Jianye smiled slightly, with a friendly expression on his face: "Originally, I shouldn't answer this kind of question with my own technology, but I can say a few words from my point of view, which cannot be regarded as representing the frontier point of view."

After a short pause, Chen Jianye said peacefully: "Bai Ze is a laboratory established in Luzhou last year by Frontier. Mr. Fang Nianfang persuaded Luzhou local government to give strong support, and finally raised more than 120 billion yuan for the laboratory. Therefore, ..."

"From the beginning, Bai Ze's goal was not to design an ordinary chip."

"I personally think that Shenlong 1 can achieve such a success, and it should always be at the top of the credit list;

Because Mr. Fang always has only one attitude: he is responsible for spending money, and we are responsible for moving forward! "

"thank you all."

The release of Shenlong 1 has come to an end, but the speech and webcast are not over yet.

When Chen Jianye stepped off the stage from one side, Guan Qiuhe came on stage again...

PS: Accidentally wrote a bit slowly, I prefer Yu Dazui's far ahead... Well... Today is still 3 updates!

Chapter 697 The Great Axis Play: Don't Call It Unpredictable! (2 more)

"Hi everyone, I'm Guan Qiuhe, and we meet again."

Guan Qiuhe, who stood in the center of the podium, looked down the stage and smiled.

"As Academician Chen said, Frontier Baize does not have the ability to develop chips. We just follow the trend and do some inconspicuous design work."

"Of course, Shenlong 1 is indeed far ahead of similar products, and Bai Ze is looking forward to cooperating with major manufacturers."

There was applause from the audience, mixed with some good-natured laughter and cheers.

At this time, no one was thinking about it. This is the big axis of this year's Frontier Science Developers Conference! ①

Regardless, Frontiers is at least exceptionally candid.

"We just adopted the common mode in the industry, that is, we only have design but no research and development capabilities."

only……

Although everyone is also an integrated solution provider, our Shenlong 1 is even more powerful... No!The most awesome!

Therefore, no matter what angle you stand at, this is something worthy of cheers from the Chinese people.

Of course, due to the different environment, there will not be cheers similar to the hope of the whole village in the future Hisilicon Kirin.

although……

Even the best Kirin 9000 is only a certain degree of independent design based on this general model.

As for why the frontier is so frank.

Of course it was Mr. Fang's handwriting.

In fact, not to mention the cutting-edge of these concepts, ordinary people don't care, they only think that the cutting-edge is really awesome.

After all, Bai Ze is just a semiconductor laboratory in fabless mode right now, and it only needs to be responsible for chip design.
