Chapter 431 Chapter 446: Cheap SSD

However, at this time another piece of news was pinned to the top of the homepage by the administrators of major technology websites.

[Nirvana rebirth and the return of the king Meizu will hold a new product launch event on January 1. 】

It has been more than half a year since Meizu released a new product last time. During this time, Meizu has been very low-key. Everyone thought that the Meizu brand had disappeared. Unexpectedly, Meizu would release a new product at this time.

Moreover, Meizu also scheduled the press conference the day before the Deep Blue Technology conference.

"Fuck, Meizu actually rushed to hold a press conference the day before Deep Blue Technology. Meizu is trying to provoke Deep Blue Technology."

"If I hadn't seen this news, I would have thought Meizu had gone bankrupt. To be honest, Meizu's mobile phones are quite good. I just don't know what kind of mobile phone Meizu will launch this time."

"Unsurprisingly, the mobile phone launched by Meizu this time should be an iOS mobile phone. Apart from iOS and Android, there is no way to save Meizu."

"If I had still had some expectations before, since Deep Blue Technology launched its mobile phone, I have no expectations for other mobile phones. Let's wait until the 30th to see what Deep Blue Technology launches."

"This time, Deepblue Technology is definitely not launching a mobile phone. Someone broke the news on the Internet two days ago. Deepblue Technology did not purchase chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek this time, nor did it purchase from other memory chip manufacturers. There is no CPU and memory. What is a mobile phone?"

"Is it possible that we were all deceived by Deep Blue Technology, and the chips produced by SMIC for Deep Blue are all CPUs?"

"Now everyone uses 14-nanometer chips, and 28-nanometer chips are not competitive."

Just as netizens were discussing it.

Ten large industrial heavy trucks came to the gate of Shenlan Science and Technology Industrial Park. The heavy trucks were loaded with various giant metal parts. These parts are exactly the integrated die-casting machines that Cao Mang ordered from LK Group.

The security guard standing at the gate of the industrial park kept waving to the driver on the heavy truck. "Come on, drive slowly after entering."

After the heavy trucks came to the factory area, they drove directly into the No. 2 factory building.

The door of the No. [-] warehouse is eight meters high and ten meters wide. The entire factory building covers an area of ​​[-] square meters, and the factory building can accommodate two die-casting machines.

Several workers in hard hats were discussing something with the blueprints in their hands.

"Wugong, the die-casting machine is installed in these two locations in the factory. We have drawn the lines for you in advance. You can just ask the workers to install the equipment directly at the designated locations." Wang Zongming pointed to the drawings and pointed at Wu Kai who was standing next to him. said.

Wu Kai looked at the drawings and then at the wires on the ground. He already knew how to install the two die-casting machines.

"Director Wang, we will start installing the machine when the crane enters the site," Wu Kai said.

"How long does it take to install a machine?" Wang Zongming asked.

"It takes about three weeks to install a machine, and the process of installing the machine is quite fast. Are your parts and molds cast?" Wu Kai asked.

"Our mold is printed with 3D printing technology. It only takes two days to make a mold. The 3D printer is already installed, and it is expected to be installed in one week.

The mold must be able to land before our equipment is installed. " Wang Zongming said.

The Office of the President of Deep Blue Industrial Park.

Cao Mang was sitting at the tea table drinking tea with the person in charge of the AI ​​accelerator card and the person in charge of the memory chip.

AI accelerator card chips and memory chips arrived yesterday.

Long Yaoqun, the person in charge of the AI ​​accelerator card, immediately took a chip and soldered it to the PCB.

Bao Weian, the person in charge of the memory chip, made the memory particles into a solid-state hard drive after the memory arrived.

The two sent it to Cao Mang's office as soon as they made the finished product.

Cao Mang picked up the solid-state drive and looked at it. It was the same as the general m2 solid-state drive. There was not much difference in appearance. In addition to the m2 hard drive, there was also a PCI-e hard drive.

"Mr. Cao, this solid-state drive uses our self-developed KOS memory and main control chip. The read speed can reach 5000MB per second, and the write speed can reach 3500MB per second.

The reading time only takes 25 microseconds, the programming time only takes 150 microseconds, the writing speed only takes 800 microseconds, 4KB continuous random reading is up to 740000 IOPS, 4KB continuous random writing is 560000 IOPS, and the read and write cycle can reach about 20 times. , which is twice the lifetime of SLC particles.

The cost of this 160G hard drive is 209 yuan. "Bao Weian introduced.

Solid-state drives made with KOS memory outperform all memory on the market in terms of performance and price.

You must know that Samsung's 160G 750EVO costs 399 yuan.

The performance of 750EVO is not comparable to that of KOS hard disk. The read time of 750EVO is 75 microseconds, the programming time is 900 microseconds, and the writing time is 4500 microseconds. The 4K random read is 285K IOPS, and the 4K random write time is 70K IOPS. The input is 1000K IOPS, and the read and write cycles are only about [-] times.

Cao Mang picked up the PCI-e hard drive on the right and looked at it briefly.

"This PCI-E hard drive is a large-capacity hard drive with a maximum capacity of 2TB. Its performance is about 2 times that of an m1.3 hard drive. Due to bandwidth limitations, it can only achieve 1.1 times the performance at most." Bao Weian introduced again.

"Not bad, not bad." Cao Mang nodded in satisfaction.

Then he picked up the behemoth on the table. The entire graphics card was about the same size as the 4090. Such a graphics card could not fit into a server chassis.

It needs to be improved to apply it on the server.

Long Yaoqun is just a chip designer. He can make a graphics card. If he wants to apply it to the server, he needs to improve the AI ​​accelerator card.

"Mr. Cao, I'm not very good at this aspect of design, so I can only make it like this. We have tested the accelerator cards. A 4U server is equipped with 4 accelerator cards, and the AI ​​performance is improved by about 12 times." Long Yaoqun said with a bit of embarrassment.

"It's pretty good that you can do this. I'll find another server design team. Then you can cooperate with the server design team to design the server." Cao Mang put down the graphics card and poured tea for the two of them.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Long Yaoqun and Bao Weian nodded.

"Old Bao, I'll ask Li Yujing to contact you later, and you give him the solid-state drive drawings." Cao Mang said after picking up the teacup and taking a sip.

SMIC produces 40 8-inch wafers per day, and one wafer can produce 220 chips. Based on an 85% yield rate, one wafer can produce 187 chips.

SMIC can produce 7400 million memory chips a day, and SMIC's monthly production capacity is 22 billion.

As long as Cao Mang completely lowers the price of solid-state drives and allows solid-state drives to completely replace mechanical hard drives, then this production capacity will be nothing to the market.

Cao Mang plans to set the price of 160G at 299 yuan and 320G at 599 yuan, which is much cheaper than Shanxing.

Not to mention Shanxing, even other memory manufacturers working together can't beat Deep Blue Technology.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Bao Weian replied.

Cao Mang chatted with the two for half an hour and then let them go back.

After the two left, Cao Mang returned to his seat and opened the system panel to see if there were any server products for sale on the system. Cao Mang quickly found relevant technologies on the system.

This technology is Pegasus chip and Andromeda chip add-on technology.

This technology needs to be purchased separately. These two accelerations are not very expensive. They only need 2000 million reputation points and 500 million soft sister coins for research fees. It takes two months to study these two technologies.

With 2000 million prestige, Cao Mang bought it without even thinking about it.

The moment Cao Mang bought it, Lu Xiaolei posted a recruitment information to Shi Linna.

In less than two days, the corresponding personnel will apply for these positions.

Corresponding personnel will be on duty to conduct research and development on these two technologies.

Then Cao Mang sent a message to Li Yujing, asking him to come to the office as soon as he was free, and Li Yujing replied a message 2 minutes later.

[Li Yujing: Mr. Cao, I am currently arranging the production of mobile phones at the mobile phone factory, and it will take about two hours to return to the company. 】

【Cao Mang: Come to my office when you come back. 】

02:30 in the afternoon.

"Ding dong~"

After the elevator bell rang, Li Yujing came out of the elevator. At this time, he was holding two mobile phone boxes. He came to Cao Mang's desk, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Mr. Cao, this is a mobile phone just produced on the production line." Li Yujing said.

Then he placed the two mobile phone boxes on the table and took out the two mobile phones from the boxes. There was not much difference in appearance between the two mobile phones. The only difference was the rear cameras of the two mobile phones.

Of course, the configurations of the two phones are definitely different.

The Deep Blue 2S mobile phone using Intel chips adopts a three-camera solution.

The Deep Blue 2 mobile phone using the Xingtian CPU adopts a single-camera solution, because the Deep Blue 2 mobile phone has a relatively large CCD, and the rear camera lens is twice as large as the ordinary lens. The rear camera is like a big eye.

In addition, the Deep Blue 2 mobile phone has an additional shutter button on the side of the fuselage.

This is to allow users to better enjoy the camera function of Deep Blue 2 mobile phone.

Cao Mang picked up the Deep Blue 2S to experience it, and then ran a benchmark test on this CPU. The performance was not as strong as Intel said, and it only ran more than 8 points on AnTuTu.

The ability to run this result is also thanks to the memory developed by Deep Blue Technology.

If you use garbage memory, you can only run about 6 points at most, which is a big difference compared to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820. You must know that the Snapdragon 820 ran a score of 13 points.

But overall it's pretty good.

After system optimization and the pin insertion technology of Peacock V1, there is no problem running Genesis and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The frame rate of the two games can reach 60 frames.

After the test, Cao Mang picked up the Deep Blue 2 mobile phone next to him.

The dark blue 2 using the Xingtian chip is more than twice as fast as the dark blue 2S in terms of running program speed visible to the naked eye.

The mobile phone camera effect is also beyond Cao Mang's imagination.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Genesis can run 137 frames.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 only ran about 90 frames, and the graphics card performance was at least 820% higher than that of the Snapdragon 35.

Then Cao Mang installed AnTuTu to run the phone score.

The running score results are surprising. Xingtian CPU scored 24 points, which is 820 points higher than the Snapdragon 11. It perfectly crushed the Snapdragon 820 in terms of performance.

"Hasn't the smart watch been produced yet?" Cao Mang said after putting down his phone.

"The mold for the smart arm is still on the way. It is expected to arrive at four o'clock this afternoon. I will go over to check the production situation later." Li Yujing replied.

"Are the new smart speakers and TVs produced?" Cao Mang asked again.

"These two products are already in production at the foundry." Li Yujing replied.

"Release a production line from the mobile phone factory's production line. There are two products that need to be produced by the production line." Cao Mang said as he placed the M2 hard drive and the PCI-E hard drive on the table in front of him.

"Is this a hard drive produced with our memory?" Li Yujing asked after picking it up and looking at it.

"There are already production drawings in the laboratory. I will give you a phone call later and you can contact the other party. The other party will send the drawings to you." Cao Mang said.

The ten production lines of Shenlan Mobile Phone Factory are very powerful. There is no problem in producing these two products. It only needs a technician to simulate the production steps once, and the production lines will record the entire production steps.

The production method of solid-state hard drives is dozens of times simpler than that of mobile phones.

According to Cao Mang's estimation, a production line can produce at least 20 solid-state drives a day.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Li Yujing nodded.

"Specifically produce what specifications and what ratio, you arrange the marketing department to do a survey, I will release these two products on the day of the press conference, and you will also make the PPT of these two products by the way." Cao Mang said.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Li Yujing replied.

"The retail price of the 160G solid-state drive is 299 yuan, and the wholesale price is set at 268 yuan. If the capacity doubles, the price will double. After the press conference, many manufacturers should contact you.

Arrange a sales plan with Lu Bingwei here. " Cao Mang added.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Li Yujing replied.

"There's nothing else you need to do first." Cao Mang said.

United States January 2016, 1

new work time.

A taxi stopped at the intersection of Times Square, Lil Savage stepped out of the taxi, and a drop of rain fell on his face from the sky.

Lil Savage found that the sky was very dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain soon.

When he looked away, he found that the big-screen advertisement in the square had changed.

A mobile phone that looks very similar to a fruit phone appears on the big screen.

A line of subtitles appears below the phone.

The Hephaestus mobile phone will meet you on February 2st.

Three question marks suddenly appeared in Lil Savage's mind, because he had never heard of this brand of mobile phone.

"Is this a new brand?" Lil Savage murmured.

However, the rain was pouring down from the sky, and there was no time for him to think. If he continued to stay where he was, he would become a drowned rat today.

Like Lil Savage, many of them stayed long after seeing the ad.
