Chapter 226 Great Wall G1X

"The founder of Moore's Law: Ternary technology is totally not worth the cost."

"Samsung Electronics Engineers Comment on Ternary Technology: Ternary is an Anti-Human Design."

"Why was the ternary computer abandoned? Why is it mentioned again and again?"

"Gao Xiaosong: Taking an unconventional approach will not lead to "overtaking on a curve", being down-to-earth is the way to go."

"Aerospace companies build chips? Cross-border is not that simple!"

"..."

On August 18, when five tourists from the Oriental International Space Hotel boarded the Unity to enter space and docked with the Tiangong Space Station for another space station tourism project, a group of semiconductor companies hiding in Maple Leaf Country for a small meeting finally responded.

The so-called summit is actually to confirm how far China's ternary technology has come.

It's also very simple to know, just search for keywords in the newly added patent libraries of various countries.

Then they saw five-digit patents... All of them were applied for by Xinyuan Company or employees, some were shared by private individuals and companies, and some were held by companies.

These tens of thousands of patents make people wonder if the Chinese Patent Office has been recording patents until the keyboard smokes in the past month or so, but a closer look shows that they are all important basic technologies.

Although it is an unfamiliar field, the engineering team they organized quickly analyzed the results: the design and manufacturing of ternary chips are already quite mature, and the other party's patent wall can be described as impenetrable.

The scope is simply jaw-dropping. If you want to enter the ternary system, you can never bypass these patents.

Of course, the biggest trouble is that through the ability to produce a small amount of 28nm process in the mainland, ternary computers can actually be comparable to mainstream chips with 14nm process!

This not only means the threat of ternary technology, but also represents the higher development potential of ternary technology, especially the powerful AI computing power, which is a recognized future direction.

While stepping up to think of countermeasures, they also began to secretly promote the interception of ternary technology.

As soon as Lin Ju opened his eyes, he saw that the hot search topics were almost all criticisms of ternary technology.

Including some well-known media or celebrities, they also appeared to point fingers at ternary technology?

Who are they? Even the Science and Technology Commission invited experts from multiple departments to conduct a comprehensive analysis before they dared to make a few conclusions, but these people can make long speeches and point fingers?

The spearhead was directed at the semiconductor summit last month, obviously wanting people to think that studying ternary technology is a waste of manpower and material resources, so that the research process was interrupted.

Xinyuan was naturally not let off, saying that they were cross-border and did not understand chip technology, and were just messing around.

Lin Ju naturally didn't take it to heart. The more they jumped up and down, the more it showed that the technology they brought out could indeed pose a threat, and they should increase their efforts.

I just don't know if the Science and Technology Commission can resist it?

…

On August 20, Intel executive Pat Gelsinger and Qualcomm CEO Steve Morenko visited China.

Zhang Siren, director of the Science and Technology Commission, personally received them.

The two heavyweights in the semiconductor industry only had a simple notice before their visit, and they moved quickly. They arrived on the same flight and came directly to Beijing after going to the Asian headquarters.

The two brought Zhang Siren two pieces of good news:

First, if necessary, Intel can sell the highest-end Xeon series CPUs involving sensitive sequences for the manufacture of the next generation of supercomputers;

Second, the ARM architecture and X86 architecture can be licensed to servers and professional workstations with limited chips.

Although it is not the era of chip blockade and mobile phones are difficult to buy, the two conditions given by the two companies are indeed very attractive, especially Intel is willing to squeeze out a little X86 architecture from its teeth, although it is limited to professional workstations and servers, it is enough to make people feel surprised.

You must know that except for the licenses given to AMD and Verizon (now cold) to avoid splitting, Intel has held the X86 architecture tightly in its hands, and no one can touch it.

Of course, they also have requirements:

Stop the development of ternary chips or open up 1,400 basic ternary patents.

For such a request, Zhang Siren politely invited them to climb the Great Wall and Mount Tai to appreciate the natural scenery of the mountains and rivers.

What a joke, just this little bit of benefit to send beggars away, now the national research institutes and colleges are mobilizing, just for this?

Now the entire domestic semiconductor industry is going crazy, with the tacit consent of Xinyuan, some performance parameters of the X32115 chip and XW151 system are made public.

When it was learned that the X32115 doped with 28, 45, and 55nm processes could actually be on par with the mainstream 14nm Xtron, the excitement of the industry can be imagined, and they are ready to roll up their sleeves and compete with foreigners.

Even if most of the patents are in the hands of Huanghe Semiconductor and Xinyuan, as a domestic enterprise, he can only take money and it is impossible to hold back, so there is no need to worry about sanctions.

So Director Zhang is also very calm. It only takes about a year for a large number of ternary chips to emerge in China to grab the market, and this time is still worth waiting.

Pat and Steve are not calm. The less Zhang Siren cares, the more it shows that their ternary technology is powerful.

But they couldn't make more decisions immediately, so they simply stayed in Beijing for the time being and actively contacted the country.

As for the doubts that emerged in the country, the Science and Technology Commission was also not idle.

On August 22, 12 government agencies in Beijing announced that they would comprehensively upgrade their office computers and purchase Great Wall Computer's Great Wall G1X, a high-performance professional workstation barebone notebook computer.

Then the title of the front-page article changed: "Domestic 'core', domestically produced."

Great Wall Computer and its units held a grand and open delivery ceremony in Beijing, inviting media from all walks of life and many consumer electronics manufacturers entering the domestic market.

At the venue, the person in charge of Great Wall Computer held up the slightly thicker G1X computer and read aloud the parameters displayed on the curtain behind it:

“The Great Wall G1X is a high-performance office notebook equipped with a Y1601 ‘Qiongqi’ processor from Huanghe Semiconductor, which has both graphics computing and native AI support functions;

Equipped with 9GB ternary dynamic random access memory produced by Hua Hong Semiconductor;

The storage space is also a 243GB solid-state drive from Hua Hong Semiconductor;

Equipped with the XOS3.2 window operating system produced by Xinyuan Aerospace Power;

Equipped with a 72Wh large-capacity lithium-ion battery and a 1080p high-quality screen, the size is 15.6 inches, the overall weight (excluding adapter) is 2.3kg, and the adapter power is 230w. "

Of course, in fact, the Y1601 chip is the X32115 taken from the Huaxin production line. It takes out these electronic components for cars and temporarily saves some computers. It mainly proves that the domestic ternary system has entered practical use.

The system is also provided by Xinyuan. The XOS system currently supports a full set of office software and audio and video playback, which can fully meet the needs of government departments.

The office software was hard-translated directly from Kingsoft and purchased a WPS license. Although it is large and wasteful, X32115 can still easily support it to run smoothly, and users do not need to adapt to it again.
