Chapter 75 Going to the Treasure Island
The performance of the new core architecture of z10 is equal to 138% of the performance of the x2 core architecture introduced by ARM at the same frequency.
It is equivalent to 345% of the performance of the a76 architecture currently launched by arm.
Even this new core architecture is basically much better than the core architecture of the current fruit CPU.
Even the CPU performance of four 2.4ghz z10 core architecture is basically slightly better than the performance of Guozi's a12.
Moreover, the power consumption of this CPU core is also very low. In terms of low-frequency power consumption performance, it is basically the same as the a76. In terms of high-frequency power consumption, it is basically only 62% of the power of the x2 core with the same frequency and process technology.
Consumption.
The z10 CPU core, combined with the current h10 GPU core, can fully enable the processor chip designed by Yuzhen Company to surpass Guozi's A series chips and become the leader in the industry.
"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!"
Although the performance and power consumption of this new CPU core architecture are very good, Zhou Zhen has no intention of directly using this technology.
The technical content of this CPU core architecture is far greater than that of the h10 GPU core architecture.
If Yuzhen Company can design and produce processor chips that use both technical architectures at the same time, it will inevitably become the target of public criticism in the entire industry.
Western technology companies and some people will not just watch Yuzhen become the industry leader, thus restricting the development of Yuzhen in some aspects.
The h10, the core of the GPU, can be used openly and openly in our current products.
However, the powerful CPU core of z10 needs to wait until Zhou Zhen officially enters the semiconductor manufacturing industry and can officially produce chips before this core technology can be used.
Although the big killer of z10 cannot be released for the time being, you can use the z10 core to make magical modifications to the a76 core.
The overall performance of the a76 core is pretty good, and the core architecture is relatively stable.
With the new technology in hand, in-depth modifications to the core can increase the performance of the core by at least 20%.
After being improved by 30%, the performance has basically surpassed the core architecture of the a77. It can be said that the performance of the a76 has been developed to a level that can stand out from the crowd.
After Zhou Zhen had a new idea, he rushed to Yu Zhen Company without stopping.
After discussing the development process with the company, Zhou Zhen also took the core members of the Yuzhen company team on the plane to Baodao to prepare for the company's next development.
Treasure Island is a magical place.
In the early years, the semiconductor industry first developed in island countries.
The transfer of the semiconductor industry has gradually moved to Bangziguo and Baodao, and these two regions have officially become semiconductor industry gathering areas.
MediaTek, as the second largest semiconductor design company in the global industry, has a longer history of designing chips than HiSilicon Kirin.
Of course, the domestic copycat phone market can really rise, thanks to the support provided by MediaTek's chips to these manufacturers.
MediaTek's chips have perfect functions and are very cheap, which greatly lowers the threshold for copycat phones to enter the market.
The main purpose of Zhou Zhen coming to MediaTek this time is to cooperate!
On the one hand, it wants to use MediaTek's hand to get in touch with TSMC semiconductors.
After all, Yuzhen Company is now a very small company, one of those small and transparent ones in the entire industry.
If Yuzhen Company were to go to TSMC to produce chips now, the other party would probably ignore Yuzhen Company.
Even if you deal with Yu Zhen Company, I am afraid that Yu Zhen will not let Yu Zhen use the latest manufacturing technology first.
First of all, orders for TSMC's most advanced process technology are generally given to first-tier manufacturers such as Guozi, HiSilicon, and Gaotong.
As for some small companies, TSMC is not willing to deal with them at all.
For this reason, Zhou Zhen could only focus on MediaTek, which has a close relationship with TSMC.
At the same time, Zhou Zhen actually plans to start making mobile phones himself. On the one hand, it is for fame and income, and on the other hand, he will use this opportunity to clear the company's remaining inventory of r2 material screens as soon as possible.
Screens made of r2 material are relatively excellent screens now, but as time goes by, the value of such screens will become less and less.
Zhou Zhen needs to use this batch of screens to completely clean them out before 19 years.
At the same time, Rouyu Company also needs to replace all the company's basic production lines with R3 material production lines at the beginning of next year.
MediaTek naturally already has a mature design team. Zhou Zhen currently needs to cooperate with MediaTek to design a chip as soon as possible, and this chip can be used in mobile phones in the second half of next year.
Yuzhen's team has too few people, and its work efficiency is far inferior to that of mature chip design manufacturers such as Shanghai Kirin and MediaTek.
On the other hand, Zhou Zhen plans to obtain some benefits by licensing the corresponding GPU core architecture patents.
Of course, the core launched as an interest exchange this time is not the h10 core, but a core specially prepared for MediaTek.
After the h10 GPU core was correspondingly castrated and reduced, Yuzhen Company launched the h8 core.
The h8 core is a castrated version of the h10 core. Under the premise of the same frequency and the same power consumption, the performance is basically reduced by 25%.
Even so, the overall performance of this core is still about 26% better than the current leading public version of g76.
From the comparison of energy consumption ratio, the energy consumption ratio of this h8 core is basically 68% better than that of g76, and the energy consumption ratio is even better than that of the unreleased g77.
The core level of h8 is basically between g77 and g78. It is definitely a very leading GPU core architecture in this era.
And Zhou Zhen believes that he can attract MediaTek with attractive conditions like h8.
After all, the overall performance of processor chips produced by MediaTek has not been good. Compared with Fire Dragon processor chips, the GPU gap is really too big.
It can be said that GPU performance has always been a major weakness of MediaTek processor chips.
Especially now that the image quality of mobile games is constantly improving, the requirements for the GPU of the processor chip are also getting higher and higher.
The h8 core is just a piece of fat in front of MediaTek.
After all, the core performance of h8 is actually stronger than the core of the best g76 currently.
If MediaTek uses this core in its own mobile phone processor chips in the future, it will basically have certain advantages in the next two to three years.
According to the launch of Dimensity chips by MediaTek in the 5G era, MediaTek has never stopped pursuing the high-end market.
Zhou Zhen firmly believed that the other party would not miss this opportunity.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhou!"
"Mr. Li, I'll trouble you this time!"
Arriving at the entrance of MediaTek, a middle-aged man in casual clothes greeted Zhou Zhen with a smile.
Zhou Zhen worked for the rice company for half a year. During this six months, although he was cheated by the rice company for a long time, he also accumulated some connections in the supply chain during this period of time.
Most of the chips in the rice note 3 series are made by Yaotong, but the small chips for audio and some sensors are from MediaTek.
The Li Rong in front of me is the business manager of MediaTek. He often travels back and forth between various mobile phone manufacturers in mainland China and the MediaTek headquarters in Baodao.
Zhou Zhen happened to meet Li Rong during a dinner party at the rice company, which can be regarded as one of the gains of the six months at the rice company.
Under the leadership of Li Rong, Zhou Zhen and the team of several people behind him officially entered the MediaTek headquarters.
Led by Li Rong, an acquaintance, he went to the conference room and met Sun Xing, the R&D director of MediaTek and the deputy prime minister.
Zhou Zhen looked at Sun Xing and without hesitation told him the purpose of his visit.
First, promote the h8 GPU core, hoping to obtain corresponding benefits based on this core.
Second, let your company's team and the MediaTek team jointly design a chip and produce it.
