The processor codenamed "Immortal Bird" based on the 180-nanometer manufacturing process has been established for nearly a year since the signing of a cooperation agreement with Texas Instruments, and it is still on the basis of plan demonstration.

Even Wang Anran doesn’t remember the last plan argumentation meeting, it’s too long!

There is also a next-generation Athron 3rd generation processor based on the 300-nanometer manufacturing process and a desktop version of Athron 4th generation processing microarchitecture solution based on the 180-nanometer manufacturing process.

You should know that the microarchitecture of CPU is basically a generation-one fine-tuning, three generations and one major-tuning, and at most four or five generations, it will definitely not meet the surge in transistor growth caused by the development of manufacturing processes.

You should know that the current Athlon processor has experienced 1 micron, Athlon Pro 800 nanometers, Athlon II 500 nanometers, and Athlon II 500 nanometers, which is three times that of Athlon Generation. By the 180 nanometers, the integrated transistors will exceed 30 million. The original microarchitecture will definitely be overwhelmed.

"Director Qiu, I haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Mr. Wang, I'm about to report to you."

Wang Anran looked up and saw that he had made up his mind to take Qiu Lianjun. Is this what he was reporting on his work? He didn't have a page of materials in his hand. Could he just remember anything in his mind?

Of course, before the formal verdict, Wang Anran also wanted to give him another chance.

"Okay, I'm just about to talk to you, by the way, how is the current progress of the 'Immortal Bird' project?"

Sweat beads emerged from Qiu Lianjun's forehead.

"Mr. Wang, the requirements for the 'Immortal Bird' project are based on the Texas Instruments 180-nanometer manufacturing process, with a frequency of more than 1ghz, a transistor integration level of 33 million, and a pipeline design layer of more than 24 levels. The preliminary plan pre-select has been submitted to you for review. The current design frequency will exceed our original plan and start at 1.4ghz..."

It's a total fool. The pre-selected plan reported a few months ago has been put forward to explain the matter. Have you been sitting and drinking tea in the past few months?

"When will the plan be approved? When will the preliminary design be completed? When will the circuit simulation be completed? When will the result be produced? When will the final test and wafer production be completed?"

Wang Anran had a series of question marks, Qiu Lianjun was stunned. He felt Wang Anran's dissatisfaction, and subconsciously poured a sip of water before saying: "Mr. Wang, we underestimated the design difficulty of the 180-nanometer manufacturing process. In fact, we have never done the integration of 33 million transistors before. In preliminary design simulation, we encountered many difficulties, and even the existing EDA auxiliary design tools could not accurately reflect our design intentions... and faced with new microarchitecture..."

Wang Anran shook his head. There must be difficulties, but no matter how difficult it is, after all, it has the mature foundation of the ASR series, a mature CPU instruction set architecture and talent reserve. This is necessary when the ASR processor was just beginning to design, it was much better.

Besides, at that time, only Wang Anran was an expert in the entire CPU design team. Now, the second generation of ASR, ASR Pro, and ASR second generation CPU were successfully launched, which has accumulated a large number of CPU chip design talents for Huaxin Technology.

"If you have difficulties, you can solve the problem. The set project target deadline is not a joke. Well, I understand the situation, so you can go back first!"

"Mr. Wang..."

Wang Anran waved his hand.

Qiu Lianjun walked out of the office, and Wang Anran sighed, when will Huaxin Technology produce a technical master like Jim Keller?

It seems that in terms of CPU design, I have to personally take up the order.

I originally thought about going to the "Immortal Bird" project division to check out the progress of the Tearer Graphics Card Division, but it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. I promised to have dinner with Fu Tong tonight, but I didn't have the habit of letting others wait for me...

...

Just as Wang Anran drank Fu Tong and Jiang Xiangjun and his party raised their glasses to talk, the lights of the headquarters of Toshiba, the island country with water, were still bright.

"It is certain that the U disk produced by Huaxin Technology will cause a serious blow to floppy disk drives and corresponding consumables around the world. Due to capacity and price, it will temporarily have little impact on optical disk drives!"

"What about the future, Aoki Jun and Moore's Law will always exist. The capacity of U disks will become larger and larger, and the price of U disks will become lower and lower. If Huaxin Technology excludes us in a fifteen-year patent period, we will lose the entire mobile storage market, including optical drives, which is a market of over 100 billion US dollars!"

Dong Yanjun took a long breath and looked at the little thing in his hand. The technical research and development difficulty was almost no for Toshiba, but why didn't we develop it?

"The Ministry of Legal Affairs has investigated that the U disk patent has been registered worldwide. What is strange is that the registration time of this patent began to be applied for in May 1996."

Aoki said: "This approach is not uncommon. We have also made it. Electronic products, time is life. How many companies in the world are studying the same technology? One step behind means that all your efforts are collected and zero."

Dong Yanjun waved his hand and said, "The important thing now is to obtain the exclusive authorization of Huaxin Technology as soon as possible. This is also an opportunity. In addition, it is time to reduce the size of the floppy drive division!"

Morita looked at the big guys talking and then intervened. In fact, he had not yet entered the decision-making level of Toshiba Company. Today he was able to come to this place because he had always been responsible for direct contact with representatives of Huaxin Technology.

"With our good cooperative relationship with Huaxin Technology, I think they will agree to our technology transfer or authorization requirements, but it is certain that they will definitely make some special appeals..."

"So, we need to know their bottom line and what price we have to pay, Morita, after exchanging opinions, I need to talk to the president of their delegation!"

"Hi, President Toyohiko, I understand what to do, but..."

"But what?"

Morita was very low and continued: "President Haruhiko, according to my understanding of them, Huaxin Technology has a strong demand for technology. I think they will still provide more technical assistance for the U disk.

Huaxin Technology has a complete set of CPUs, graphics cards, operating systems, and a USB flash drive. As far as I know, they have made breakthroughs in the chip structure research and proposed a brand new Fi fin transistor structure. Such a company is terrible. Will what we are doing now establish a strong competitor for Toshiba?"

"Hahaha……"
Chapter completed!
