"Mr. Chen is awesome!!!"
"Well said, Longguo should set its own standards for chips. Foreign manufacturers have to compromise with us if they want to use them!"
"We had no choice before, but now we are far ahead in the semiconductor chip industry, and industry standards must be changed. New! ”
“This is the confidence. How could we dare to raise standards with the West like this before? They have formulated them and we are responsible for the implementation. Now we can completely shout those four words, offensive and defensive changes. ! ”
“Easy to attack and defend, far ahead!”
The Bird's Nest Stadium was filled with cheers, shouts, and discussions, and before you knew it, the sun was about to climb above everyone's head.
The scorching heat of the winter sun has faded away, leaving only soft warmth.
However, even if the temperature rises, Lee Jae-yong, Pou Ke and other "losers" still feel like they have fallen into an ice cave.
Resetting the standards is too destructive!
Why do we say loss?
Nowadays, the general standard in the chip industry is that the size of the bare chip is 1.6x1.6CM.
Assuming that the die size of the Fuxi chip is 2x2CM, it goes without saying that the extra area can accommodate more transistors. The computing power and energy consumption of the chip all depend on the transistor and microcircuit layout.
It is not difficult to see that under the same nanometer process, a 2×2CM chip must have higher performance than a 1.6×1.6CM chip, because the former can obviously accommodate much more transistor area than the latter. .
It is worth mentioning that the purpose of shrinking the nanometer process and expanding the chip size is the same.
The smaller the nanometer process, the more transistors can be accommodated on the die.
If the nanometer process cannot be reduced, such as the 3 nanometers that are being conquered, and you cannot solve the quantum tunneling effect, and you want to significantly improve chip performance, then the only way to go is to expand the die size.
The answer to improving chip performance clearly lies here. Why don’t mobile phone manufacturers and chip suppliers use it?
The reason is also very simple, that is, the space of the mobile phone is extremely limited, and the heat dissipation system cannot suppress the energy consumption of the chip.
A mobile phone is about the size of a palm. Anyone who has ever dismantled a mobile phone knows that the internal space is fully utilized.
Even if you solve the space problem, there is still the cost problem.
Expanding the die size will also increase the corresponding production costs. In addition, as the number of transistors increases, energy consumption will also increase. All mobile phone manufacturers are afraid that they will not be able to control the temperature.
For example, take the Snapdragon 810 processor. The consequence of Gaotong's forced adoption of the 20nm process is that the chip consumes as much as 20W. Many mobile phones have burned their motherboards because they cannot withstand its high temperature. .
It used to be said that the rice phone was a fever machine. The fundamental reason for its fever was that the cooling system could not suppress the energy consumption of the chip.
Now that Chen Xing is expanding the chip size to make up for the shortcomings of the nanometer process, other mobile phone manufacturers are faced with a decision.
Follow up?
Still not following up?
If you follow up, you will have to invest money in researching the cooling system, and as chip costs increase, the manufacturing cost of mobile phones will also increase.
But if you don’t follow up, others are already doing 10 trillion operations per second, and you’re still tinkering with a “small size chip” with three or four trillion operations?
A simple summary is that following up means redesigning the internal layout of mobile phones, developing cooling systems, and higher costs. If not, chip performance will lag far behind, and the market can vote with its feet.
It looks like a multiple-choice question, but it is actually a multiple-choice question with only one option.
Other mobile phone manufacturers can only follow. If they don't, the market will abandon them in an instant.
Thinking of this result, Ku Ke closed his eyes. At this moment, he was like Zhou Yu on the sick bed, with that well-known saying flashing through his mind.
Since Yu is born, how can Liang be born?
......
Chen Xing at the podium also noticed that the faces of Pou Ke, Lee Jae-yong and others were extremely ugly, but he did not pay attention and waited for the sound to become quieter. After that, he continued:
"In addition to expanding the size of the die, we have also carried out multiple stackings on this basis. However, because the technical principles are too complex, we will not go into details today."
The stacking technology of chips involves a lot of professional terms. Even if Chen Xing wants to talk, the audience may not want to spend hours listening.
But at this moment, Chen Xing changed the topic again: "But what can be mentioned is that the most advantageous aspect of the Fuxi chip and the ternary system is not its performance, but its mimicry."
"Mimicry?"
The moment he finished speaking, Ren Guofei couldn't help but repeat himself.
"What is this?"
Rebus looked at Ren Guofei.
Ren Guofei also looked at Rebus, then shook his head and said: "I don't know."
"You have been so close to Chen Xing during this period, and you don't even have any inside information. Didn't you find out?" Luo Hao looked at Ren Guofei and Rebus, who were looking at each other, and couldn't help but complain.
“We are in the ancient Xiang Kingdom.”
"I work on cars in the Northeast."
Rebus and Ren Guofei responded respectively. Although they were close to Chen Xing, they were not in the same city. Rebus even stayed in Guxiang for a long time. national operating company.
Last time the rice company was uprooted, the amount of rearrangement work was particularly huge.
But fortunately, Ancient Elephant Kingdom knew that it was in the wrong. This time Rebus resumed the rice company’s market operations in Ancient Elephant Kingdom, and Ancient Elephant’s senior management basically gave the green light all the way.
Before the bosses in the audience could discuss the reason, Chen Xing revealed the secret: "You may not have noticed that when I downloaded the software just now, the software in the app store was basically programmed with binary code. ”
"What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, ternary is compatible with the binary application ecosystem. The extra negative number in ternary is a random variable, which is controlled and run by the Fuxi chip."
“???”
“???”
“???”
The live broadcast room is full of question marks.
Not only the audience, but also Jack Ma couldn't help but ask his soul: "Ternary is compatible with binary application ecology, so is this ternary or binary?"
His Chen Xing seemed to have expected this, and responded remotely: "Some people may want to ask, since it can be compatible with the binary application ecosystem, do you still need to Build a ternary application ecosystem? ”
“My answer is, yes!”
“Ternary is compatible with binary, taking into account the transition factor, etc. After the chain is completely transitioned, we will no longer be compatible, and Extraordinary Master will also give everyone a different and super experience.”
"What is the specific experience?"
Chen Xing quickly pressed the remote control a few times, directly skipping other parameters of the chip, and came to the introduction page of the extraordinary master.
The chip parameters that were directly ignored shocked a small number of people.
Because the power consumption of Fuxi chips is not fixed, but is between 6W and 30W, countless chip engineers are confused by this.
Far away in the NSTC Semiconductor Technology Center in Texas, USA, Heimda Gonzalez, the chief chip officer of the United States, flashed doubts in his eyes and murmured to himself:
"With such a large energy consumption span, is it possible that the Fuxi chip is the same as the SOC God chip and is also connected to a spare chip?"
"It's possible."
Deputy team leader Mian Dee Yas echoed.
Once the SOC God chip came out, the design of the backup chip amazed the world, and many chip design companies rushed to imitate it, but unfortunately they all failed.
But here comes the problem. The SOC God chip also has a fixed power, but it is divided into two different values. Just now, the Fuxi chip is not a numerical value, but expressed in a range symbol.
8W-30W, is it possible 10W, 15W or 20W?
The chip engineers watching the live broadcast all over the world are thinking about this problem, but the only explanation now is that the Fuxi chip uses the connection technology of the God chip, and the extraordinary master may have two processing chips. However, at Longke Academy, Qu Cheng, who participated in the entire process of Fuxi chip design, smiled calmly and began to answer the confused academician.
"The spare chip you are talking about does not exist. There is only one Fuxi chip. It is a SOC system-level ternary chip."
"Why does the power consumption Use interval notation? ”
"In fact, it is the random variable that Chen Xing said. It can provide corresponding performance release according to the usage requirements, which is equivalent to 60 points in college. One point more is too much, one point less is not enough, and it is stuck in this just right range. , quantitative release of performance is the biggest feature of ternary chips and the biggest feature of ternary chips. ”
"That's right."
As soon as Qu Cheng finished speaking, Liu Dongsheng immediately echoed and continued: "This kind of output method of big heads and big hats can only be achieved by the ternary system. . ”
He also participated in the design of Fuxi chips and also knows the biggest characteristics of the ternary system.
Ternary negative number expression is not so much a negative number expression as a variable expression. It can be either 0 or 1, and it can also represent negative numbers, which makes the chip more efficient. And intelligent combination processing.
If the Apple A9 is a neural engine bionic chip, then the Fuxi chip is a bionic chip that is truly comparable to the human brain.
“Incredible!”
“It’s amazing!”
“Unusual, really extraordinary!”
Longke Academy’s chip The academicians couldn't help but give thumbs up and praised, this is simply another advancement of human civilization.
...
Back at the Bird's Nest Stadium, after Chen Xing switched screens continuously, all the audience's eyes widened, unsure whether the text they saw was true.
“The more you use it, the smoother it becomes?”
“No, Mr. Chen, you didn’t lie to us, did you? Aren’t digital products like mobile phones and computers becoming more laggy the more you use them?”
< br>“These few words make me, a computer expert, a little confused.”
"Whatever, it's over if we're far ahead!"
"Yes, far ahead!"
At this time, the LED screens of the Bird's Nest Stadium showed the "The more you use it, the smoother it becomes" PPT page words, which also puzzled countless viewers.
Chen Xing did not sell it, and explained: "I know that everyone will not believe how the mobile phone can become smoother with use."
"But the fact is, we did it."
"The ternary operating system paired with the ternary chip makes Extraordinary Master adaptable. It will learn user habits and optimize background resource allocation. In addition, it adopts a microkernel, streamlined, and modular design to allow it to process It will be more efficient during tasks."
"Furthermore, not only the body of Extraordinary Master can be folded, but also the applications, photos and documents can be folded, for example..."
Chen Xing paused. Press the remote control in your hand, and a demonstration video will immediately appear on the LED screen.
After being folded, the 17MB photo only occupied 1.7MB of memory. The video was also folded and the memory gap was ten times that of the same period last year.
“Folding and saving, this is a technology pioneered by extraordinary masters.”
"The principle is not complicated. It is to directly let Ai store photos, videos or files in its memory, and then delete them."
"Yes!"
"Delete them directly!"
Chen Xing emphasized.
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room also had doubts, and barrages appeared quickly.
"Why is it so similar to cloud storage?"
"It's exactly the same!"
"Uploading mobile phone space to the cloud is not like putting old wine in new bottles, right?"
"A little disappointed."
Listen Chen Xing described that many people thought it was cloud storage technology. However, Chen Xing had already predicted it and directly rejected it: "I am sure many people will think that this is the same as cloud storage, but in fact there is a difference. Let's talk about it." It’s better to demonstrate it once than thousands of times.”
Chen Xing connected his mobile phone to the LED screen and cast the screen. Then, he took a photo of the Bird's Nest auditorium.
Subsequently, he turned off the Internet and even switched to airplane mode.
After doing all this, Chen Xingcai started to explain: "If it is cloud storage technology, without the Internet, the photos cannot be restored, nor can they be uploaded and compressed."
"We Now start folding.”
Chen Xing clicked on the photo to fold, and saw that after the completion bar was read, the original 14MB photo became 1.4MB.
"As you can see, the folding has been successful. There was no network participation during this period. Let's click on the photo to take a look."
Open the folded storage area and click on the photo. The originally blurry photo passed through After reading the article in turn, the clarity was restored immediately, and the photo size returned to 14MB.
“This!!!”
“What kind of magic is this?”
“It’s not Mr. Chen, is the three-fold flagship so foldable?”
>
"Without the Internet, there would be no cloud storage technology. So what kind of technology is this? It can't be space compression technology, right?"
"Is it possible that it is a compressed package?"
Audiences The group was not calm anymore and started talking about it.
Ren Guofei also frowned, looked at Rebus and said, "What kind of technology is this? It seems to save storage space greatly."
"I don't know."
< br>
Rebus shook his head.
He has been hanging around in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom during this period. Let alone the folding technology, he has not even received any news about the three-folding mobile phone.
“This technology is a bit scary. Ten times compression is equivalent to ten times storage space.” Duan Yongping couldn’t help but marvel.
Hearing this, Luo Hao immediately made calculations and said: "Doesn't that mean that the actual memory of the extraordinary master with 512G memory is 5120G?"
Everyone around him was silent. Corporate bosses can answer this, including Lee Jae-yong and Jack Pock of Korean Star Group and Apple.
Feeling the confused eyes of the audience, Chen Xing announced the answer: "The reason why photos, videos, and files can be compressed is because the Extraordinary Master is a real AI phone, not a fake AI phone that relies on network retrieval."
“When we want to fold a photo to free up memory, the built-in Ai brain will remember the pixels of the photo, and then use an algorithm to refill it for you with the least number of pixels. A picture similar to a mosaic. "
"At this time, the original photo has actually been deleted. When you want to restore the chip, you only need to fill in some pixels to get a photo that is exactly the same as before folding. Photo. ”
“This is a foldable mobile phone, and it is also the first folding storage technology of Extraordinary Master!”
