"No need.

Ye Hanyu said slightly disappointed

Seeing her appearance, Lin Xuan softened his heart:

"Forget it, if you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me!"

After Ye Hanyu left, Lin Xuan scratched his head.

He knew that he might have been involved in some small trouble invisibly.

However, life must go on.

In the blink of an eye, it took another half a month, and it was mid-September.

Regarding the popularity on the Internet, it has gradually dissipated~ a lot.

Late at night, in Chaoxing Semiconductor Company located in Zhangjiang, Pudong.

All focused - staring at the clean room.

Because today is the day to test whether the K3V2 chip designed by the company (renamed Qinglong) is successful.

The so-called tape-out is to carry out trial production of the designed chip with a lithography machine.

Because it is the first trial production, the possibility of failure in this process is very high.

Under normal circumstances, the initially designed chip will have bugs of one kind or another.

So there are very few successful tape-outs at one time.

And processor chips like mobile phone chips have a complex structure, with more than one billion transistors,

Failure is a loss of millions of dollars,

This is why many chip design companies regard the tape-out process as a matter of life and death.

After all, losing millions of dollars at a time will take several more times, and even some large companies can't bear it.

However, fortunately, the K3V2 chip technology given by Lin Xuan has been verified by later generations.

So in itself, the chip design is already very reasonable.

Ni Guangnan's team, who is in charge of the research, has been researching the technology of this chip in the past few months.

To make technical reserves for the next generation of research and development, the specific parameters of this chip are now well known.

On the other hand, this model named Qinglong V1 has entered trial production.

After more than three months of hard work, finally this chip is about to come out.

After a chip is packaged, it walks out of the production workshop.

At this moment, almost everyone held their breath.

Because this may be Huajia's first processor chip based on mobile phones.

It is likely to be the company's next-generation explosive product.

Although in Ni Guangnan's heart, this chip was not designed by him.

But he is confident that the chip unit designed by him will be used in the next generation of chips.

And with the first Qinglong V1 chip off the assembly line.

All Superstar Semiconductor employees held their breath.

At this time, let alone Ni Guangnan, CEO Wang Ninguo and others,

Even if he arrived early, Lin Xuan, who planned to witness this moment in person, was very nervous.

To know that for chip manufacturers, memory chips can be said to be the simplest.

It is the initial stage of chip manufacturers.

And being able to design and produce microprocessor chips is the advanced stage of chip manufacturers.

Large companies like Intel have all started with the production of memory chips and entered the success of processor chips.

Although Chaoxing Semiconductor has only been established for about a year,

However, it is a huge leap from memory chips to complex logic microprocessor chips.

This is a milestone achievement for both Chaoxing Semiconductor and florists.

In the packaging and testing workshop, everyone watched nervously.

Because the Qinglong V1 chip contains basic resources such as the arithmetic unit AUL and the storage unit CACHE, it is possible to realize the basic application of hardware devices.

As a microprocessor, it is subdivided into units such as DSPMUC and MP.

You can understand these units as various devices formed by transistors within a chip.

This is like a radio, with speakers, antennas, and so on.

In the chip, through the design of countless transistors, functions similar to speakers and antennas are formed.

For example, DSP is mainly for data processing, mainly for signal processing of audio and video digital processing,

The MUC is a simple control function without a system, mainly the control function of small components in a large system.

MP is the microprocessor of the system, which is mainly the place where the system is integrated and the APP program runs.

Therefore, the test of a microprocessor chip is very complicated.

After passing the test in the packaging and testing workshop, the subsequent staff will display the data.

Everyone, including Lin Xuan, burst into ecstasy.

Ni Guangnan, Ugly China cried with joy.

The whole Chaoxing fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Although the ARM simplistic instruction set used by this chip is not a chip with its own architecture,

It cannot be used as a processor chip on the PC side.

However, its appearance is definitely a subversion for the mobile phone market.

In the past, the mobile phone chip produced by Spreadtrum was used as an example.

The functions it can achieve are extremely limited, and Spreadtrum and MediaTek have jointly built the functional phone market in Pengcheng Huaqiangbei.

...asking for flowers...

The Qinglong V1 chip can support all functions including Bluetooth, WIFI, 3G communication, audio and video interpretation, GPS positioning, etc.

And unlike the X86 Intel chips,

Qinglong chips have the advantages of low heat generation rate and low power consumption.

It belongs to the most cutting-edge products in the field of mobile phone chips.

It can be said that the advent of this chip means that the mobile phone chips used in the world are completely behind.

If human history is used as a metaphor, it is equivalent to jumping directly from the Stone Age to the feudal age.

Leaps forward.

However, while they were happy, Ni Guangnan and the others were a little puzzled,

Is this chip a bit overkill for current mobile phones?

Lin Xuan could only smile mysteriously at this.

He did not say anything about the development of smartphones for the time being.

After all, the truth is too much now.

However, before Lin Xuan came back from the beautiful country, he had asked Polaris Capital to negotiate the acquisition of ARM.

After all, as the founding company of the ARM architecture,

In 2002 alone, the global shipment of ARM-based chips exceeded 1 billion pieces

In Britain, the market value of ARM has exceeded 1.265 billion pounds.

Compared with the 278 million pounds in 1998, the market value has increased by nearly five times.

However, even so, as a company that will monopolize 40% of the world's chip architecture in the future,

The acquisition of ARM with a market value of more than 70 billion US dollars is also very cost-effective.

However, ARM shares are extremely scattered, including Vanguard Group, Blackstone, Norges Bank and other large institutions.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to acquire.

However, fortunately, Polaris Capital belongs to the Beautiful Country Company,

And Elizabeth is a very well-connected girl, and she once had working experience at Morgan Stanley,

Polaris commissions include Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and other investment banks.

We are planning to make an acquisition at a price of 2 billion U.S. dollars and a 50% premium.

Of course, just after the acquisition of Marvel, Polaris' book funds were exhausted.

However, the sign of the North Star that Elizabeth leaned on,

Through investment banks such as Morgan Stanley, it has obtained a loan of 2 billion US dollars from Citibank.

And this money will all be used to acquire ARM
