In addition to materials, the design software of the ice engraving machine and the corresponding production line are also problems.

Zhou Zhen looked at the technological points he had accumulated so far and couldn't help but sigh.

It took more than half a year for Zhou Zhen to finally acquire these technological points. It seems that when the ice engraving machine is launched next year, all these technological points will probably be added to the semiconductor technology.

However, after the ice engraving machine is launched, Zhou Zhen's supply chain system will be improved to a higher level, and he will have an absolute leadership position in the entire technology industry.

It’s November!

As each mobile phone manufacturer clears out inventory of products during the month, each mobile phone brand carries out price reduction promotions to a greater or lesser extent.

As for the products released by Roupai, the Flexpai mobile phone 3 series has also begun to reduce prices. The entire series of products will be directly discounted by 500 yuan during Double Eleven.

As the top flagship FlexPai mobile phone 3s series just released, it still maintains the most basic product positioning in the corresponding price range.

In this way, domestic users who support FlexPai can breathe a sigh of relief.

From the side, the current FlexPai phones have basically established themselves at the high-end flagship price range.

At the same time, it has also received support from many domestic users.

For the FlexPai 3s series of mobile phones entering the Eastern European market, since the consumer groups in the Eastern European market have relatively small spending power, the overall product sales are basically the same as the sales data of domestic products.

The Western European market has long forgotten the brilliant performance of Flexpai when it first entered the European market.

The brilliance of SoftPai mobile phones is like a flash in the pan. After blooming brilliantly, it disappears from the public's sight.

At the same time, during Double Eleven, MediaTek, which has a close relationship with Yuzhen Semiconductor, also found Yuzhen Semiconductor.

In fact, in late July this year, MediaTek designed next year's flagship processor chip.

However, the performance improvement of the correspondingly designed flagship processor chip is not particularly obvious compared to the Dimensity 2100 co-designed with Yuzhen Semiconductor.

The recently revealed Fire Dragon flagship processor chip will no longer squeeze out toothpaste this time.

This is a very huge challenge for MediaTek. If it can continue to maintain its performance next year, I am afraid that MediaTek is likely to truly defeat Fire Dragon.

After much thought, MediaTek finally found Yuzhen Semiconductor, hoping to jointly design a powerful processor chip to defeat MediaTek.

"As expected! This performance has indeed not improved much!"

Zhou Zhen looked at the performance parameters of MediaTek's latest flagship processor chip and couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with the Dimensity 2100 released last year, the overall performance has only improved by less than 10%, which can only be regarded as a small iteration in terms of performance.

To be honest, the relationship between MediaTek and Yuzhen Semiconductor is relatively close. After all, MediaTek's processor chips use many technologies related to Yuzhen Semiconductor.

Basically every time MediaTek sells corresponding processor chips, Yuzhen Semiconductor can also collect a lot of income.

Due to interests and the current common enemy, cooperation between Yuzhen Semiconductor and MediaTek is inevitable.

Of course, Zhou Zhen is not sure how long such cooperation can last.

After all, sometimes the so-called cooperation is just a corresponding bundle of interests.

When relevant conflicts of interest occur between two companies, the final cooperation will come to nothing, and the two companies may even turn against each other.

However, out of corresponding interests and in order to gain more reputation and revenue, Zhou Zhen still chose to cooperate with MediaTek.

After all, part of this year’s revenue comes from MediaTek’s Dimensity 2000 series processor chips.

Since the technology of Yu Zhen Semiconductor is used in it, Zhou Zhen can obtain the corresponding profit value without selling a single processor chip of the Dimensity 2000 series.

However, Zhou Zhen will still consider holding back when cooperating with MediaTek. After all, when the ice engraving machine appears, the relationship between Yuzhen Semiconductor and MediaTek will probably be more competitive than cooperation.

"Is it in time?"

"It's just in time! But consider replacing a710 with a78 and a510 with a55!"

Zhou Zhen did not refuse MediaTek's request and even began to make some suggestions to MediaTek.

For example, replace the mid-core and small core of the current processor chip.

A710 and a510 are the two latest cores launched by arm, but the upgrade rate of these two cores is only less than 8% compared to the previous generation a78 and a55.

Even at medium and high frequencies, the power consumption of these two cores will directly increase by at least 20% compared to the power consumption of the previous generation core.

This is a very scary number. It can be seen from this number that the energy consumption ratio of these two new cores is basically overturned.

Even after becoming the core of the processor chip, its performance is not as good as the previous generation's a78 and a55 cores.

For example, in history, the Fire Dragon 778g was actually forced to act as the rescuer of the two generations of Fire Dragon mid-range chips.

Among them, the mid-range processor chip released by Gaotong in 2021 is actually the Fire Dragon 780g, which uses the same Sansan 5nm process technology as the Fire Dragon 888.

As a result, this mid-range processor chip, which had high hopes, ended up being seriously overheated due to the corresponding process, and was eventually used in the Youth Edition of the rice phone 11 series.

As a result, Fire Dragon urgently adopted the Fire Dragon 778g, the rescue work of TSMC's six-nanometer process technology, to serve as its own mid-range processor chip.

This chip has also been recognized by many manufacturers for its adequate performance and correspondingly low power consumption, and is widely used in mid-range models.

Logically speaking, a company that has suffered a loss should have a longer memory, but it is a pity that a company does not have a long memory.

In 2022, the Fire Dragon 7gen1, which uses the Sansan process, will make a strong debut, and the entire core will also use the a710 and a510, which have a somewhat overturned energy consumption ratio.

The corresponding energy consumption ratio of the core architecture has overturned, coupled with the overturn of the process technology.

The overall performance of this processor chip is almost the same as the small overclocked version of Fire Dragon 778g, but in terms of power consumption performance, it has truly performed a wave of overturning.

After the green factory adopted this chip, no mobile phone manufacturer dared to use this chip again.

After all, all manufacturers are smart people. They know that this chip is not as good as the previous generation Fire Dragon 778g, and the price is so expensive. In the end, after the product is released, they can only reuse the previous generation Fire Dragon mid-range processor.

The two chips, 780g and 7gen1, eventually became exclusive chips for the original model, which is of course related to the excellent performance of these two chips.

Therefore, under such an environment, Fire Dragon 778g and Fire Dragon 870 can only be forced to serve for another year.

The performance of the two cores a710 and a510 is really not good, which also proves from the side that the current arm is suspected of being broken.

However, this time Yuzhen Semiconductor agreed to the current MediaTek, and naturally had to carry out a deeper design of the other party's processor chip.

In addition to replacing the medium core and small core with the previous generation core, the frequency of the medium core and small core is also further increased.

As for the ultra-large core x2 core, until the ultimate performance is released, this ultra-large core is basically in a low-frequency dormant state.

In light to moderate usage environments, the core and small cores still occupy the main operating position.

Under the leadership of Yuzhen Semiconductor, MediaTek designed a new processor chip in less than half a month.

In terms of the CPU, the frequency of the large core

The frequency of this mid-core can be used as the large core of some chips. After all, it is basically unheard of for a mid-core to reach 2.92ghz.

Of course, Yuzhen Semiconductor did this out of its trust in TSMC’s 4nm process.

After all, TSMC's current chip foundry business is basically at the top level in the world. TSMC's foundry will give MediaTek's chips a natural advantage.

In addition, the four a55 cores are also controlled at 2.0ghz. The four energy-efficiency cores can ensure that power consumption is directly reduced during light use.

This time, we have conducted in-depth cooperation discussions with Yuzhen Conductor and MediaTek in terms of GPU.

In the end, MediaTek exchanged 15% of each chip's revenue directly for the h12 architecture GPU core currently used by Yuzhen Semiconductor.

Under the planning of Yuzhen Semiconductor, Dimensity supports the 16-core h12 graphics processor in terms of the GPU of the processor chip.

In terms of GPU performance, it is the most direct and obvious compared to MediaTek's self-designed chips.

At the same time, this chip also supports Yuzhen Semiconductor's tfs1.5 and tpddr1.5 protocol flash memory and storage chips in terms of peripheral configuration.

And the ISP core also uses Yu Zhen's patent, using the same ISP module as Yu Zhen Semiconductor's Tianxuan 700 processor chip.

Of course, this can be regarded as leaving a backdoor for the products of the FlexPai system.

After the corresponding processor chip design was completed, MediaTek was quite satisfied with this new chip.

Yuzhen Semiconductor participated in this new line design. According to the corresponding contract, 15% of the net profit obtained from this chip is reserved for Yuzhen Semiconductor.

Coupled with the corresponding GPU and ISP patent licensing fees, for every piece of this chip sold, Yuzhen Semiconductor can obtain about 35% of the net profit of the chip.

At the same time, due to the cooperative relationship between the two, Zhou Zhen also obtained the right to launch the processor chip this time.

This chip will be officially sent to TSMC for corresponding tape-out production beginning in early December.

It is estimated that formal mass production and shipment will begin in February.
