Chapter 30 Hu Li’s gasp
In fact, there are still many advantages to being reborn as a chip industry employee.
Such as lightning protection and pitfalls.
To give the simplest example, Huawei HiSilicon's second-generation chip K3V2 was known as the industry's smallest quad-core A9 architecture processor, high-performance ARM architecture CPU, 40NM, 64 memory bus, twice the total memory threads of TEGRA3.
In 2012, when this chip was launched, many people thought that HiSilicon had made a technological breakthrough and that the domestic "chip" was completely proud.
But it turns out that the design of this chip itself was a failure. It did not use the more compatible MAIL GPU architecture, but used the "GC4000" which was quite non-mainstream at the time, resulting in extremely poor compatibility of the entire chip system and huge heat generation.
In the eyes of the outside world, HiSilicon was seeking cheap licensing fees from Vivante.
The outside world even once said that Haisi thought was a white wolf with nothing to show for it, but he ended up making a mess.
But in fact, Lu Yao also talked about this matter with several key members of HiSilicon in later generations. At that time, the company did have the idea of low-cost Vivante licensing fees, but it was more of a conservative strategy.
Although the MAIL series at that time came with a GPU when buying the architecture, the technology did not seem to be mature at that time. Since HiSilicon's first-generation chip K3V1 failed and was canceled at that time, people within the company learned lessons and wanted a more stable and overclocked CPU.
VIVANTE's GC4000 is high-end, licensed and cheap, so it is naturally the best choice.
But in fact, MAIL's subsequent success directly proved how failed HiSilicon's choice was.
As a reborn person, let’s put aside other factors such as how they affect HiSilicon’s choice and infer from the results alone. If Lu Yao can decide HiSilicon’s decision, he will definitely promote the MAIL architecture.
If K3V2 can be equipped with the MAIL architecture, it will not only be more powerful, but at least there will be no technical joke like the so-called "Huawei Hand Warmer", which will also allow them to avoid detours and save a lot of money.
Look.
This is the so-called rebirth advantage.
Take the multiple choice questions with the correct answers.
Just like Lu Yao's college entrance examination.
But having said that, it is very difficult to actually do it.
The first is technical barriers.
Without mentioning anything else, let’s just talk about how a senior high school graduate knew these confidential matters of major companies?
What is the identity of this student?
Is there any connection with foreign forces?
Behind every research plan in the chip industry may represent tens of billions of funds and strategic plans. How did you, a poor student, know that?
No piece of scientific research is a tree without roots. Everything in the world has its starting point.
Without professional knowledge, professional equipment, or even a mature team, one person suddenly came up with some inexplicable technology... It may be no problem to put it in other disciplines, but for chips, it requires a cluster of highly sophisticated talents. For industries that focus on chemical research, that is impossible.
Therefore, even if Lu Yao had a lot of "correct" knowledge in his mind, he couldn't get it out.
It's impossible to take it.
Because he lacks a platform.
A platform that shines and generates heat.
If you want to show your holiness in front of others, you must naturally be under the spotlight. Otherwise, it can only be regarded as a firefly in the dark night. It is not only dim, but also more likely to attract predators hiding in the night.
Therefore, the plan he set for himself was to become a "growing genius."
After having reasonable exposure to the knowledge of the electronic chip industry, he needs to start from the shallower to the deeper in this platform and let his light shine little by little.
Just like the article he is writing now and intends to submit it to the future school magazine.
In his previous research work, he published many papers and understood the benefits of "familiar faces".
Start with articles that have little technical content, so that you can represent your concern for the electronics and semiconductor industry. Then, I learned the appropriate golden body from the articles of some "little geniuses", grew step by step, and finally completed the stage jump.
This is the right way to get promoted.
Otherwise, let him send a letter to HiSilicon, which has just started the project and has no clue, telling them to choose MAIL instead of GC4000... What awaits him will definitely not be some kind of treatment that is eager for talents, but national security. The iron cage.
The paper in front of me is easy to write and easy to write.
Since 2000, China’s imports of electronic chips have been increasing every year. The juncture of 2010 is even more exaggerated. If I remember correctly, this year's import volume seems to be close to 160 billion US dollars, an increase of nearly 33%.
This number is very exaggerated. At the same time, under the leadership of the state, all major provinces are preparing for their own information technology industrial parks.
Although this project will prove in the future, without a dense industrial chain and high investment, it is destined to be nothing but water in a bamboo basket. However, it can be seen from these favorable strategies that the country actually attaches great importance to the technological growth of the electronic semiconductor industry.
It's just that the technical talent threshold required by this industry is high, so ordinary people don't know much about it.
Lu Yao's plan is also very simple. His article is to describe his confidence and career prospects in China's future semiconductor industry from the perspective of a "new comer".
The more pure the description, the better.
The more pure and longing he is, the more in line with his characteristics as a future freshman.
But similarly, there must be a certain degree of guidance in choosing words and sentences.
For example...
"Whether it is the X86 architecture on the PC side or the ARM architecture on the mobile side, although our country's independent research capabilities are not yet perfect, mature companies such as Intel and the British ACORN company already have quite complete technologies. We have huge market demand. , and their cooperation complements each other..."
He looked at the words he typed on the screen and suddenly felt like laughing.
No matter how I look at it, I feel like I am saying "how sweet the foreign air is"...
But this is the core idea of the entire article.
He wanted to express the sense of crisis in the electronics and semiconductor industry in a complimentary tone.
This will be in line with the students' naive ideas.
Moreover, this kind of article has no technical threshold, and some parameters in it can be known by just searching on Baidu. It won't be confidential, but generally non-practitioners won't be able to write it.
Regardless of the technical content, as a beginning student, this article is definitely qualified to be selected for the school magazine from the perspective of a freshman looking at electronic semiconductors.
What? You ask why Lu Yao is so sure?
It's very simple. In his previous life, he had done the job of reviewing school magazine articles in school.
He is very clear about the review standards for school magazine articles for both undergraduate and graduate students.
At least that's the case at TVU.
As a frequent visitor to the school magazine in the future, such an eulogizing article as a stepping stone... is simply perfect.
……
"Dingle bell..."
The sound of the phone suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
He paused while typing on the keyboard and frowned slightly.
Obviously he doesn't like anyone disturbing him at this time.
But he still glanced at the caller.
Hu Li.
Looking at the name of the caller, although the caller spent hundreds of thousands on him yesterday... Lu Yao, who was writing the first draft at the moment, still didn't want to be disturbed by other things.
After thinking for a while, he pressed the mute button on his phone.
After the screen of the phone finally went dark, he picked it up again and set the phone to silent mode.
Then, I added a small bookmark to myself in the WORD document:
"The fox called, please remember to reply soon."
Didn't even bother to correct the typos.
He typed quickly and the first draft took only an hour to complete.
The word count is one thousand three hundred words.
After roughly proofreading it, I clicked save, then got up, opened all the windows in the bedroom, and let the fan in the corner start whirring.
The smell of smoke gradually began to fade.
And Lu Yao also walked out of the house, sat directly in the corridor, and lit a cigarette again.
It was stuffy in the corridor.
The cicadas chirped loudly and pervasively.
Although there was sweat on his forehead, the expression on his face was one of deep thought.
This article is only a first draft and will definitely need to be revised.
Moreover, there should be some established facts in it that I recognized in my previous life, but they have yet to be verified in this year.
Therefore, it is necessary to refine it, especially some sentences with technical parameters and discussion, to be in line with today's era to the greatest extent.
Typos also need to be corrected.
Will the overall article be a bit "flattering" to the West?
Hmm.
My mind is a little hot at the moment, so it would be better to go over it again when I calm down.
Thinking about this thousand-word article, he stayed there until beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Then he came to his senses and returned to the house. After turning on the computer again and recording all the things that needed to be changed, checked, and verified in the label, he saw the "Fox Calls" paragraph on the first line of the label.
So I turned on my phone.
Missed call: Hu Li (1)
Seeing this, Lu Yaoxin said that it shouldn't be anything urgent.
Otherwise, I would never hit just one.
But then I thought about it, why should a rich woman call me if she has something urgent?
While thinking about it, he dialed back.
"Dudu... hello?... Huh... Huh..."
Hu Li quickly answered the phone.
Immediately afterwards... there was a sound of gasping.
"..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The corner of Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he immediately realized something and said quickly:
"Sorry, Sister Li, I'll call back later."
He quickly hung up the phone.
But the hoarse lark's breathing lingered in my ears for a long time.
He was speechless for a moment.
Hu Li replied again five minutes later.
"Hey, Lu Yao."
Her voice had regained its calmness.
Inexplicably, Lu Yao also heard a feeling of... fatigue.
"Hello, Sister Li. I'm sorry I didn't see the phone just now. Do you have anything to do with me?"
He selectively didn't mention what happened just now.
Just pretend it never happened.
"Well, Xiaochu and I had dinner together at noon. She said you had a day off today?"
"Yes, Mr. Xu sympathized with me and let me take a day off today."
"Ha~"
Hu Li chuckled:
"Then you were recruited by me today, how do you feel?"
Lu Yaoxin said, what kind of husband am I?
But he still said:
"No problem, just ask Sister Li."
"Hey~ I just asked you to go exercise. You didn't answer the phone. Come pick me up at 7pm, and I set the time to 8pm."
The other party directly stated the established facts without using a negotiating tone.
After Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, he responded:
"Okay, Sister Li, shall I pick you up at the hotel?"
"No, I have an appointment with someone tonight. I'll send you my address and you can just come over then."
"Okay."
"Well... Lu Yao."
"Huh?"
"You are so young, don't be so dirty. Sister, I was dancing just now. You hung up the phone as fast as you were running away, what are you doing!?"
A bit of petulant complaint in a joke blew into his ears like a spring breeze.
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao was stunned.
My heart said how did I know you were dancing?
And after hearing his movements, the hoarse charm in the lark's voice on the other end of the phone became stronger:
"If you don't learn well at a young age, you still have to read a lot?"
"..."
Lu Yao was speechless.
According to that...he was indeed thinking wrongly.
Hu Li didn't mean to go into details and chuckled:
"Ha, okay, I'm going to take a shower. See you in the evening."
Toot.
The phone hangs up.
But the hint of joking was still in my ears.
For no reason, an idea popped into his head.
I can breathe so well when dancing and exercising. What if this were...
beep!
Stop it!
I am sworn in with gambling and drugs!
He quickly strangled the distracted man and threw him onto the bed.
Phew...
A little tired.
……
At early 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Aihua came back with a bag of vegetables.
Today she skipped work early in order to cook a delicious meal for her son.
"Yaoyao, Mom will cook this pork rib soup thoroughly for you!"
"Don't."
Lu Yao quickly shook his head.
It takes at least an hour or two to simmer a pot of pork rib soup, which is not enough time.
"Tonight, my boss's friend asked me to pick her up. She should be there at 7 o'clock. I see the address is over in Jing'an, so we should leave at 6 o'clock. Let's make braised rice."
"..."
Chen Aihua was stunned.
I subconsciously looked at the vegetables I bought.
Spare ribs, fish, shrimp...
It’s really a good meal.
These dishes require a lot of effort to prepare.
She was immediately unhappy.
But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of the "more than two hundred thousand" in the closet...
With three points of vigilance, she asked:
"Does your boss know she's looking for you?"
"I know, my boss originally gave me a day off today, but she requisitioned it for me."
"...Okay."
Helpless, Chen Aihua nodded:
"Mom also said that I should give my baby a good treat..."
As she said that, she held Lu Yao's face with both hands and took a bite from the left and right of his face.
"Hey hey hey, my family is very promising! I did so well in the exam!..."
"...hehe."
Seeing his mother's bright smile and red eyes, Lu Yao felt full of satisfaction.
Nothing more.
