Chapter 246 The rain is coming

Rebs' return gave Wang Anran a dose of stimulant.

"Mr. Wang, I didn't expect that the harvest this time had exceeded our expectations."

Silicon wafer surface wet washing process, high-purity ion implantation process, plasma rinsing process, Huaxin Technology's most short-lived chemical vapor deposition process, plus a large number of relatively advanced wafer testing and grinding equipment.

Not only did he send drawings and technical manuals, Toshiba also sent 17 engineers to teach him step by step.

The only regret is that the technology in automatic control is not involved. In addition, Toshiba refuses the relevant chemical and physical materials related to process processing.

But it's not bad!

"If all these technologies are digested, I think we should save decades of time on our chip production research."

What Huaxin Technology has paid is only a technology transfer fee worth US$70 million, 70% of which is a loan of yen, plus the full authorization of Huaxin Technology's Athon CPU instruction set architecture technology.

In Wang Anran's opinion, this business is not a loss, but for Rebs, there are always some hidden worries.

"Mr. Wang, Toshiba's joining can certainly strengthen our influence in the ASON CPU architecture, but Toshiba will also pose a great threat to our CPU business. You should know that Texas Instruments has divided up 30% of our overseas markets."

Toshiba is not a fool. Compared with Texas Instruments, the Japanese are more savvy. According to the agreement, Toshiba has obtained not only the existing technical patents and licenses of Huaxin Technology on the Athon CPU, but also the patents of Huaxin Technology and Toshiba on the Athon CPU instruction set architecture can be shared in the next three years.

"According to the agreement, Toshiba will also set up a common CPU R&D center in Huaguo and Huaxin Technology. Will we teach a tiger?"

Wang Anran shook his head, and he took the least advantage of the two evils. Compared to the dominant one, he had no choice but to play with the last one. The situation is now better.

It is not just three years, and three years later, in 2000, and mass production of up to 180 nanometer manufacturing process is completed in 2000. The manufacturing process restricts the design of chips. At the earliest, ten years later, the 45-nanometer manufacturing process matures, and decades of accumulation of processor technology, the CPU design and manufacturing technology has made a leap forward.

Huaxin Technology has all the time to achieve the leading CPU technology before it explodes.

"Mr. Lei, you also know that when the x86 architecture first started, it was not just Intel that was doing CPU in this world."

When the x86 architecture first started, it was very similar to Huaxin Technology.

Faced with the strong competition from Motorola, Apple, Texas Instruments, and Nec, the x86 architecture can emerge because of authorization.

For example, Intel and Amd once signed an agreement, and Amd has the right to obtain the production authorization of Intel processors, and the price paid is to pay a small amount of technical authorization fees.

Before the 586 processor, the amd processor can be plugged directly into the Intel motherboard, because the processors of both are the same.

Rebs nodded and said, "Intel gets what he wants. The x86 architecture quickly dominated the personal P as they thought. However, Mr. Wang, not everything is as Intel wishes."

The consequences of misissuing authorization are obvious.

With the high R&D costs omitted, the amd processor can be cheaper than the Intel processor and has no poor performance.

Therefore, amd quickly seized a large number of markets, and even before Intel's new products were released, amd had already launched the same product.

The rift between the two companies began, and they fought a long lawsuit over patent licensing. They did not obtain mutual understanding until last year. This is also the K5 in the Pentium era. The performance of the K6 processor just released some time ago lags behind that of the Pentium 2 processor, not to mention the ASON 2 processor released by Huaxin Technology.

Wang Anran smiled and said, "Toshiba is not amd, it won't be so shameless. Of course, if they really did that, our Huaxin Technology wouldn't be afraid of it. When we were poor and down, we could fight Intel. Not only was it not crowded by Intel, but the market share it occupied continued to expand..."

"Mr. Wang, don't underestimate the Japanese. They have technology and talent reserves. Compared with us, they have more chip manufacturing capabilities that we do not have. I think we need to keep a hand."

Wang Anran shook his head: "It's completely unnecessary. Mr. Lei, not only that, I want to give Toshiba a big gift. Our Huaxin Technology not only authorizes technology to Toshiba, but also opens up to them how we do it ourselves. All the R&D personnel of the Toshiba CPU business unit can join our business unit."

"Mr. Wang..."

Wang Anran waved his hand.

In three years, three years, that is, a cycle of one and a half generations, Huaxin Technology can fully explore the potential of assembly line deepening.

Deepening the pipeline can significantly increase the frequency of CPU and improve performance, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The early performance is obvious and the later efficiency is low. Even if the branch prediction technology reaches a hit rate of more than 95%, there is no solution.

This is a pit.

Wang Anran sighed and said, "Mr. Lei, Huaxin Technology's second generation ASON is undoubtedly the world's best desktop processor. Do you think Americans will watch a Chinese company lead the development of the entire P industry?"

Rebs shook his head and said, "War is inevitable, but we do not have the strength to fight against the Americans. As long as they declare Huaxin Technology an untrustworthy company, I guess there will be no companies around the world to cooperate with us."

Wang Anran waved his hand and said, "It's not that Intel has not failed yet. They have the ability to turn the tables, so they are still gentlemen at this time.

When one day, Huaxin Technology will make them desperate, by that time, their face will be useless to them. They may even send a few gunmen to shoot me and you on the street."

"Mr. Wang, you agree that the Japanese come in, and you also want to treat them as a shield!"

Wang Anran smiled and said, "Toshiba was cheated by the Americans, export restrictions and money, so we pulled them.

Now, I really didn't expect that they would dare to invest a lot of money into CPU research and development. Think about it, if the Americans make up the sorrow, Toshiba will go bankrupt. Will the Japanese fight with the Americans at that time?"

Rebs shook his head, and Wang Anran took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Rebs.

"Look, you can't have expectations for Americans at any time. Even if we can't take the initiative, we can't let Americans lead us by the nose."

As soon as Rebs opened the folder, he opened it to a few lines of words on the title.

"What!"

Rebs suddenly stood up.

"Texas Instruments unilaterally terminates all cooperation with us!"

Wang Anran lit a cigarette and said indifferently: "Yes, I would rather pay hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidated damages..."
