Chapter 403 HTC’s helplessness, dual-core beats quad-core!(1/3)

"Yes, Chairman, we have hired some more people. The chip design team alone has more than 600 people," Williams said.

This number is already terrifying.

Even for HiSilicon, the current R&D team only has a thousand people, and the chip design team only has two to three hundred people.

"Very good, can we advance three projects at the same time?" Wang Yi asked.

Williams nodded: "Yes, currently I am leading 200 people to develop the 40nm Kunpeng 510 SOC with integrated baseband. George is leading 200 people to develop the 28nm Kunpeng 700 chip without integrated baseband."

"There are still 200 people. I handed it over to Zhang Chao. He is a very good young man. I asked him to lead the development of Kunpeng 900 SOC with integrated baseband! I will fully assist in the entire research and development process. Don't worry, Chairman, wait for Kunpeng

After 510 was completed, I immediately joined the research and development of 900 SOC!"

"Zhang Chao!" Wang Yi nodded, having an impression of this man.

I have a bachelor's degree from Huaqing and a master's degree from Massachusetts. When I learned that Xingyi Technology invested heavily in chip research and development, I directly rejected the offers from Intel and Qualcomm and joined Xingyi Technology.

At first he was just an ordinary R&D engineer, but eventually he came up with many creative ideas in the development of Kunpeng 510, which even Williams was full of praise for.

After some school testing, Williams found that Zhang Chao's level was no less than that of George.

And as a Xia native, he works harder and harder than George.

Therefore, Williams directly handed over the Kunpeng 900 project to Zhang Chao and returned it to the 200-person team.

In this way, the Kunpeng 900 project can be launched ahead of schedule.

With Zhang Chao leading the team, Kunpeng 900 can make rapid progress even if it cannot be completely solved.

After Williams has finished Kunpeng 510, and then helps Zhang Chao, he will definitely get it done quickly!

Wang Yi was very satisfied with this.

Both Williams and George are Westerners.

And Zhang Chao is from Xia!

To be honest, Wang Yi hopes to see Xia people catch up from behind, accumulate experience, and even become the future helmsman of Xingyi Semiconductor.

"Very good, William, the Kunpeng 900 SOC will be handed over to Zhang Chao. You can get the Kunpeng 510 as soon as possible. There will be a higher-end Kunpeng 900S overclocked version of the chip in the future, waiting for you to develop it!"

"Kunpeng 900S overclocking chip?" Williams thought for a moment: "Chairman, do you want to create a chip without a baseband but with super performance that can compete with Apple's A6X?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Apple is about to release a new generation of iPads, equipped with A6X chips, which are much more powerful than our Kunpeng 900. By then, our Xingyi tablet will definitely suffer a performance hit, and we can only develop Kunpeng as soon as possible.

900S, launching Xingyi Tablet 2!”

"Okay, Chairman, I understand, leave this matter to me!"

As Zhang Chao emerges, Xingyi Semiconductor has another leading figure.

In the future, Williams, George, and Zhang Chao can completely promote the research and development of three chips at the same time.

And Pang Liguo led the baseband team to focus on solving baseband problems!

The four carriages working together will undoubtedly enable Xingyi Semiconductor to achieve better development.

There is no way, the current business partners are too cruel.

Texas Instruments stopped talking about giving up its mobile chip business.

Nvidia's baseband is not good, which leads to the short-term development of the mobile chip business.

But Qualcomm is too powerful. This year’s APQ 8064 is equivalent to Snapdragon 600. Starting next year, four series of Snapdragon 200, 400, 600 and 800 will be launched at once!

All are made using the 28nm process.

As for Apple, they are equally brutal. In addition to the iPhone 5 A6, there is also the iPad 4th generation A6x.

All pose a huge threat to Xingyi Semiconductor.

If Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets want to continue to lead and overwhelm their competitors, they cannot lag too far behind in terms of chips.

Fortunately, we now have enough manpower and can advance several projects at the same time, which can completely shorten the generation gap.

After all, Kunpeng 510 is only slightly better than Nvidia Tegra 3, half a year behind.

Kunpeng 700 is only slightly better than APQ 8064, and is about half a year behind.

As for the Kunpeng 900, it won’t be released until next year, and it is half a year behind the Qualcomm 800.

The Kunpeng 900S is still far behind, even half a year behind the Apple A6x.

There is no way, as a rising star, Xingyi Semiconductor can catch up to this point, which is already very powerful.

As long as a breakthrough from 0 to 1 is achieved, it will take less than two years to reach 1 to 100!

Later, Wang Yi went to the George Department and asked, "How is the progress of Kunpeng 700?"

George was a little excited: "The progress is relatively smooth. The highest frequency of Qualcomm 8064 is 1.5G. Thanks to our adoption of the new V8 architecture, we have achieved a frequency of 1.8G, surpassing Qualcomm and ensuring better power consumption. But in terms of GPU,

It’s not enough, the Qualcomm 8064 GPU is a bit strong, we still have to adjust it!”

"Okay, when is it expected to be completed?" Wang Yi asked.

George thought for a while: "After all, it is a brand new 28 nanometer, it will probably be released in December."

"December? Okay! Come on." Wang Yi patted George on the shoulder.

Some things cannot be rushed.

Even so, developing a chip in half a year is considered fast.

Of course, Kunpeng 700 is based on Kunpeng 510 and does not have a baseband, so it progresses faster.

If there is a baseband, it will be complicated.

Then, Wang Yi went to Kunpeng 900 department.

"Chairman, you are here!"

Zhang Chao stood up quickly. He had big dark circles under his eyes and fluffy hair. It looked like he had not rested well.

The biggest difference between Xia Guo engineers and overseas engineers is that they are hardworking and capable!

Overseas engineers work overtime until 8pm, which is considered severe overtime.

But Engineer Xia Guo, it was normal until midnight, 996 every day.

Wang Yi nodded: "William said that you are very good and a good young talent!"

"Thank you for the compliment. Director is overestimating it. I am just advancing the research and development of Kunpeng 900 SOC based on Kunpeng 500 and Kunpeng 700. The key follow-up needs to be handled by Director William."

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Williams has a new project. After the completion of Kunpeng 510, it will directly enter the research and development of Kunpeng 900S. As for the research and development of Kunpeng 900 SOC, I will leave it to you without any help!"

"What?" Zhang Chao was startled: "Chairman, I...I...can I? Kunpeng 900 SOC is the SOC chip that will compete with Qualcomm's flagship next year, I..."

"Lack of confidence?" Wang Yi smiled.

Zhang Chao nodded: "Yes."

"Normally, it is indeed a bit overwhelming to ask you to take the lead at the beginning. But our chip research and development lags behind Qualcomm, and there are too many apples. We don't have time to let you grow slowly, so we can only be more aggressive!"

Wang Yi smiled and said: "And I'm optimistic about you. Williams and George are also optimistic about you."

"This..." Zhang Chao was still a little unsure.

Among these people, he has good abilities and has solved many technical problems.

But after all, I am a newcomer, with little experience, and it is normal to feel unconfident.

Wang Yi patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder: "Where there is a will, there is a way. Even if the cauldron sinks the boat, the Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu! Believe in yourself, you can do it. After all, I am younger than you, and I have still accomplished many incredible things. And

You can do the same!"

Although Zhang Chao is much older than Wang Yi, he regards Wang Yi as his idol.

Now Wang Yi is an absolute myth in the semiconductor circle, the technology circle, and the business world!

Not to mention Zhang Chao's admiration for Wang Yi, other Internet tycoons are either completely convinced by Wang Yi, or they are gnashing their teeth in hatred!

After all, the development of Xingyi Technology has subverted too many industries and eliminated too many Internet giants.

Either worship it or resent it.

Facing his idol's chicken soup, the young Zhang Chao was so excited that he forgot all about it: "Chairman, don't worry, even if I work overtime every day, I still have to complete the Kunpeng 900 SOC!"

Wang Yi smiled lightly: "There's no need to work so hard, health comes first, come on!"

"Okay, Chairman, I will definitely do it!"

Looking at Wang Yi's retreating figure, Zhang Chao was filled with emotion:

'Director Wang thinks so highly of me that he allowed me to independently take charge of large-scale high-end projects from the very beginning. I am so kind to him and I will never let him down!'

Then, Zhang Chao looked at the others: "From now on, we will be responsible for the Kunpeng 900 high-end SOC project. By making the first 28-nanometer domestic high-end SOC chip with integrated baseband, Zhu Jun and I will leave our names in history. If we can't do it, we will go together."

people!"

"We haven't worked hard enough. Director Wang treats us well, gives us adequate treatment, and entrusts us with important responsibilities. Everyone, please work harder!"

"yes!"

Hearing this, everyone got chicken blood injections.
