The Technology Tree of Xueba

Zhou Yu is in the office to understand the research progress of the R & D center.

Xi Wangjian walked into the office and reported to Zhou Yuhui: "General Manager Zhou, I have sent Fuxi-type I and Nuwa-type I chips to Huawei."

After Wang Jian's report, he asked in confusion: "The chips we developed should be used in our company's own equipment first, why should we provide chip samples to Huawei?"

"Of course, in order to seek cooperation with Huawei, the patents of our two companies have great complementarity." Zhou Yu calmly explained.

He sent a graphene chip to Huawei, which was asking for directions. Look at Huawei's demand for high-performance chips to lay the foundation for the next cooperation.

Graphene chip has very strong editability due to its manufacturing process characteristics. Adjusting its graphene transistor layout can edit a large number of special-purpose chips.

Huawei ’s most fundamental business is not the production of mobile phone and smart device chips. It is the world ’s largest supplier of network equipment. 5G base stations require a large number of communication-specific chips. Most of these chips are monopolized by European and American countries.

The United States just used the sever chip supply strategy, which almost disabled the world's fourth largest network equipment supplier ZTE.

Huawei needs to transfer a lot of benefits to get a stable supply of chips.

They learned that Spark Technology has the hope to produce these chips, and they will definitely come to the company to seek cooperation so that Spark Technology can also obtain the technology it needs urgently.

"This should be their initiative to ask us. Our company has successfully manufactured graphene chips, and no longer needs Huawei to provide chips." Wang Jian asked puzzled.

Zhou Yu knows that the company's executives have this doubt, and he took the opportunity to explain: "Huawei's SOC has a communication baseband in addition to the CPU and GPU.

CPU and GPU are our company's strengths. Volt-type graphene chips can naturally process holographic images.

But it is very difficult for our company to develop the baseband. This requires more than ten years of investment in the communications field to develop an excellent baseband.

就像 Otherwise, just like Apple's use of Intel's baseband, network signals are cut off and calls are unstable, which greatly hurts the company's reputation.

Our company's technology on baseband chips is definitely not as good as Intel's. In the technical field of communication, it can't be done by hiring some people.

What's more, we cannot directly avoid the patent barriers of silicon-based chips, as we do with graphene chips.

The patents in the field of communications are more complicated. We just have developed a new variety of basebands. We can't let all operators in the world change the network base station.

要 If we do not cooperate with Huawei, and no other company can cooperate with us, which consumer will buy smart devices that cannot be connected to the Internet.

In fact, there is another solution, which is to use an external baseband solution.

But now the baseband is integrated on the SOC. Is this a plug-in baseband or a SOC plug-in graphene chip? Besides, graphene chips require a special motherboard and are not compatible with silicon-based chip motherboards. This is by no means a good solution. "

After listening to Zhou Yu's remarks, Wang Wangjian immediately understood that a smart device that could not be connected to the Internet would indeed affect its sales, and he understood the purpose of the company.

In the Huawei Pengcheng Research Center, hundreds of experts are stepping up research on the two chips sent by Spark Technology.

Tan Yingjun, chief expert of chip design of Huawei, also called and communicated with chip designer Academician Tian Kai.

Qin Lishan, Huawei's rotating president in charge of technology, is waiting for the results of experts.

After two nights of sleepless research, chip experts obtained basic data for graphene chips.

Tan Yingying experts verified the performance of the graphene chip and reported to Qin Lishanhui: "President, we have verified the chip performance of Spark Technology, and also communicated with the chip designer, Academician Tian Kai, to understand the characteristics of some graphene chips.

The dormant type I graphene chip is 5.98 times faster than our Kirin chip, and the son-in-law type graphene chip is 6.15 times faster than the Kunpeng server chip.

Graphene chips can be very convenient to design and process transistor layouts. Our chip designs can be easily transplanted to graphene chips.

More than 98% of 5G base station related chips can be transplanted to graphene chips.

The most important thing is that the graphene chip design is simple, which can save 80% of research time and research funds.

Graphene chips are simple in production process, extremely easy to produce on a large scale, and the cost of tape-out is low, and the overall cost of the chip is only 40% of the original. "

Tan Yingying reported the situation of the graphene chip, and he provided Qin Lishan with a detailed report of the chip.

After reading the report carefully, Qin Lishan lamented: "I did not expect that such an advanced chip could be produced in China. I immediately reported to President Ren and suggested that we cooperate with Spark Technology."

On June 28, Spark Technology welcomed Huawei's negotiating team.

The group leader is Qin Lishan, the rotating president of Huawei, the team leader is Tan Yingkun, the chip's chief expert, and Yan Dali, the president of enterprise BG.

Zhou Yu did not expect Huawei to respond so quickly, and from this it can be seen that they are eager for domestic chips.

Not to mention that once a technology is localized, it can be made into cabbage price instantly with the help of Huaxia's strong industrial system.

I only say that multiple suppliers supply, companies can negotiate more flexibly, and there is no possibility of lifeline being trapped, which can make many companies rush.

Zhou Zhouyu also quickly completed the formation of the Spark Technology negotiating team. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com was his own team leader, Tian Kai and Yu Zhenfeng were the deputy team leaders, and the heads of the Finance Department and the Legal Department accompanied the negotiations.

Huawei can negotiate with Spark Technology so quickly, of course, they have very high expectations for cooperation.

Xinghuo Technology also hopes that they can successfully cooperate for wireless communication technology.

负责 The leaders of the two parties have a strong intention to cooperate. They also know the bottom line of the other party, and they will not have to make inroads.

They all tried their best to increase their own interests in the compromise. After several hours of long talks between Zhou Yu and Qin Lishan, a general cooperation plan was soon reached.

Xinghuo Technology and Huawei developed a 5G baseband based on graphene chips and 5G base station dedicated communication chips.

Spark Technology authorized Huawei to use the graphene chip framework and intelligent instruction set. The chip factory specializes in manufacturing various types of graphene chips for Huawei.

Huawei Company authorized the use of all 5G communication patents of Spark Technology.

Huawei company and Xinghuo science and technology researchers formed a 5G graphene chip research and development team to jointly develop the chip.

达成 After the cooperation framework was reached, Zhou Yu and Qin Lishan shook hands and said happily: "Happy cooperation, I believe that the two companies will work together to develop the best 5G chip ecosystem."

"Win-win cooperation, we jointly build a 5G ecological chain, your company's graphene chip freedom is really too high, which can reduce our transplant cost to a minimum." Qin Lishan said excitedly.

After the two companies reached a cooperation agreement, Huawei immediately dispatched a chip and communications R & D team to temporarily join the Xiong'an Graphene Chip Research Institute.

They worked with Spark Technology to develop a SOC based on graphene chips. At the same time, they also asked the chip team of Academician Tian Kai to complete the design of a communication-specific chip with the help of Spark Technology.
