Sun Xing was also attracted by the h8 core architecture presented by Zhou Zhen.

To be honest, Sun Xing's reception of Zhou Zhen's team at the beginning was just a courtesy for cooperation.

Sun Xing is still hesitant about the in-depth cooperation between the two parties.

But when Zhou Zhen's team came up with the h8 core architecture, Sun Xing had already completely mastered it.

Before h8 came out, the possibility of cooperation between the two companies was basically slim.

After the official emergence of the h8 core architecture, the cooperation between the two companies has basically become a done deal.

The h8 core architecture is indeed very good in terms of overall performance and power consumption, even better than the current arm's latest g76 architecture.

What MediaTek lacks now is this outstanding level of underlying core technology support.

You must know that the current MediaTek CPU's overall performance level is basically close to the current level of Fire Dragon.

Only the performance capabilities of multiple modules such as GPU and ISP lag far behind the Gaotong Fire Dragon processor chip.

In addition, various manufacturers obviously optimize Fire Dragon more than MediaTek chips, which makes MediaTek basically in a passive state in the entire chip market.

h8, a new GPU core architecture, allows MediaTek to see hope in the rise of the company's chip business.

Zhou Zhen didn't hesitate and told Sun Xing the purpose of coming to MediaTek this time.

One is to jointly develop a chip with MediaTek!

Secondly, we want to carry out mutual licensing of corresponding patented technologies with the other party.

MediaTek has been established for a long time and has many patents related to chips.

For example, there are many technology patents such as communication and audio.

Especially regarding communication patent technology, MediaTek's level is definitely not bad compared to some communication companies.

For example, the baseband chips used in the 4G and 5G processor chips produced by MediaTek are communication radio modules developed and designed by MediaTek itself.

Although Yu Zhen Company already has humanoid plug-ins like Zhou Zhen, it still needs to cooperate with some experienced manufacturers in some technical aspects to make up for the corresponding shortcomings.

MediaTek is obviously one of the targets of Yuzhen's cooperation.

Of course, Zhou Zhen has also considered cooperating with HiSilicon Kirin, but considering that the processor chips designed and produced by HiSilicon Kirin will not be sold to other manufacturers for the time being.

This left Zhou Zhen to temporarily consider reaching an in-depth cooperative relationship with MediaTek to obtain the supply of early chips.

With the patent of the core technology of h8, it is guaranteed to make the negotiations between the two parties relatively pleasant.

In a situation full of mutual interests, the cooperation between the two parties seems to hit it off.

Yuzhen Company has licensed the technology and patents of the h8 core architecture to MediaTek.

MediaTek has licensed some of its communications patent technologies to Yuzhen Company.

At the same time, the two companies have also reached an agreement on cooperative chip design, and plan to design a processor chip with a GPU h8 architecture within the next six months.

And MediaTek will also give Zhou Zhen and Yu Zhen companies a half-year chip exclusivity period.

This means that after the chip is designed and produced, Zhou Zhen's company can exclusively use the chip within six months.

However, after these six months have passed, this processor chip can officially undergo corresponding processes from other manufacturers, and MediaTek can also earn a lot of money from this.

Of course, in this cooperation, Zhou Zhen still has to follow the team closely in the early stage and tentatively decide on the nature of the processor chip.

Within a month after reaching the corresponding agreement, Zhou Zhen also followed the team and MediaTek's R&D department to develop chips.

Of course, during the research and development process, the teams from both parties still have to sign corresponding confidentiality agreements. After all, during this research and development process, you can also see other processors developed by MediaTek.

During this period, Zhou Zhen also learned that MediaTek had already begun filing projects for 5G processor chips.

Basically, until the middle of next year, MediaTek's relevant R&D teams can start to devote all their efforts to the research and development of 5G chips.

Now, the processor chips developed by MediaTek basically only have three lines.

hallo g20 series!

hallo g80 series!

hallo g90 series!

The design project teams of these three designs are basically MediaTek’s remaining three product lines in mid- to low-end processor chips.

And if the 5G Dimensity processor project is to be filed, part of the product design project team will also be castrated.

The g20 series, as the name suggests, is a chip developed by MediaTek for entry-level models.

The two series, g80 and g90, are relatively high-end. They can be said to be the two top series among the current value of MediaTek's 4G products.

As for the chips designed by Yuzhen Company and MediaTek, their products are temporarily positioned in the g90 series.

And this time, due to the participation of Yu Zhen’s team and Zhou Zhen’s arguments, the processor chips designed by both teams did not intend to be designed in the mid-to-low-end direction.

The CPU core architecture naturally adopts the a76 core architecture, and the GPU naturally adopts the h8 core architecture brought by the Yuzhen company team.

"In terms of performance, it should at least be comparable to the Fire Dragon 845 that will be launched next year!"

According to Zhou Zhen, the processor chip jointly built by his company and MediaTek this time must be able to compete with the Fire Dragon 845 in terms of performance.

If you have the chance, it would be best to compare it with the Kirin 980.

However, from the current cooperation with MediaTek, we know that MediaTek can only use TSMC’s 10nm process technology at best.

This means that the current processor chips jointly designed by the two companies may only use TSMC's 10nm process technology.

But it is impossible to catch up with TSMC’s latest 7nm process technology.

This means that the processor chips designed and produced by the two companies cannot reach too high a frequency.

This is mainly due to the backwardness of the corresponding manufacturing process. In order to ensure the performance of the corresponding chip and the stability of power consumption, the frequency of the chip cannot be increased.

After almost half a month of negotiation, the corresponding framework for the design of the CPU and GPU was finally completely finalized.

This time the CPU uses four a76 cores combined with four a55 small cores.

The frequencies of the four a76 cores are all set at 2.4ghz, while the four a55 small cores reach a frequency of 2.0ghz.

The design level of this kind of CPU is not much different from the Dimensity 800 series chips in the next 20 years.

The CPU of the Dimensity 800u (an upgraded version of the Dimensity 720 to be precise) is two 2.4ghz a76s and six 2.0ghz a55s.

The Dimensity 800 CPU uses four a76 and four a55 cores, and the frequency of the eight cores is 2.0ghz.

Of course, the CPU performance of Dimensity 800 is still better than that of Dimensity 800u.

After all, the performance of the large core of a mobile phone processor CPU is equivalent to seven or eight small cores (energy efficiency cores).

The Dimensity 820, the most powerful CPU of the Dimensity 800 series, is based on the Dimensity 800 and increases the a76 frequency to 2.6ghz.

One explanation is that the theoretical CPU performance of this newly designed processor chip should be far better than the Dimensity 800 and slightly weaker than the Dimensity 820.

However, since this processor chip can only be manufactured using a 10nm process, its power consumption performance may be weaker than that of the entire Dimensity 800 series.

However, the CPU performance and power consumption of this chip are much better than the Fire Dragon 845.

After all, the core improvement of a76 compared to a75 is very obvious.

Even putting aside the power consumption, this chip can even compete with the Kirin 980 chip.

At the same time, this processor chip uses the h8m10 graphics processor with a frequency of 566mhz in terms of GPU.

That is, a GPU module with ten h8 cores.

Although h8 is a castrated version of the core architecture, its performance is definitely at least 20% better than the g76 core of Kirin 980 in terms of the same frequency.

This time the performance of the GPU of the processor chip can basically surpass the Dimensity 820 by about 30%.
