My Return to Life

After three or four consecutive days of rain, Shencheng will continue to have fine weather from now on.

The temperature also rose slightly.

The cultural center on the banks of the Pujiang River floats, and the logo of the Frontier Science Developers Conference can be seen everywhere.

At a certain moment, the noise broke through the barrier of the inner space and burst out.

"Fuck, fuck!"

"Frontier came up with the chip?"

"Is this a joke?"

"How come, when did the frontier enter the chip?"

"The world's first mobile phone processing chip with the most advanced 28nm process?"

"Overall Apple's latest A5 chip?"

"This is not scientific at all!"

"Obviously this is a scientific developer conference!"

"..."

The uproarious noise at the scene directly and roughly interrupted Academician Chen Jianye's continued release.

The heads were moving, and many people stared at the stage, staring at the chip that was as small as a fingernail in the hands of Academician Chen Jianye.

The camera captures close-ups, which are quite conspicuous.

On the one hand, I am looking forward to further content, on the other hand, I can't help but vent my emotions.

in spite of!

Although there is a small amount of ticket sales for this developer conference, almost all the invited people have industry expertise.

It's not the kind that just give the grandpa and aunt a ticket and it's done.

Anyone can be a completely different concept compared to webcasting.

At least eight adults know that smart phones are already the computing center of the future.

Many people understand the inner meaning of mobile phone SoC.

Excitement, excitement, disbelief, trance, etc. are all mixed together to form a soaring noise.

After a while, after the hustle and bustle on the scene abated partly, Academician Chen introduced this processing chip.

"Okay, let me introduce this Shenlong 1 to everyone."

"First of all, Shenlong 1 used the breakthrough 28-nanometer process technology for the first time in the industry. This extremely small process challenges the most advanced global process."

"For example, the A5 chip that Apple launched in March of this year uses a 45-nanometer process."

"So far, the process of similar chips and even the process of personal computer processors, the process of Shenlong 1 is the most advanced!"

"..."

Every word of Academician Chen Jianye stimulated the nerves of the audience.

The enthusiasm on the scene never stopped.

Applause and cheers sounded from time to time.

From time to time, someone yells ‘fuck.’

Obviously it is a group of developers and media workers who are pretty awesome, but suddenly they only shout ‘fuck.’

Academician Chen Jianye has mastered the rhythm of the five-thousand-person venue with his soul.

"Such a cutting-edge technology can provide at least about 80% more transistors compared to a 45nm process chip.

Shenlong 1 uses these extra transistors to provide new functions;

Have more efficient energy utilization and better performance! "

After a short pause, Chen Jianye emphasized his tone and emphasized: "This! This is also the core reason why Shenlong 1 surpasses Apple A5 in all aspects in terms of performance parameters and any mobile phone processing chip currently on the market!"

"..."

The audience burst into applause again.

This time, there were two more words in the shouts besides humiliation: Niubi.

Some seemingly crude content was displayed on the big screen.

Then the next slide shows a complete rendering of the chip.

Chen Jianye pointed to the screen and said.

"Shenlong No. 1 has an important design on the central processing unit!"

"Our architecture adopts a design of 1 large core + 3 small cores, and adopts a synchronous core operation mode. The four cores will participate in computing at the same time, and the working status of the core will be uniformly managed according to the processing load;

With this design, more instructions can be run in parallel, resulting in better performance. "

"..."

"At the same time, it uses the same Cortex-A9 architecture as the A5 chip. Although it is the same dual instruction decoding as the previous generation, the order of instruction execution has changed from sequential execution to out-of-order execution;

Multi-tasks can be executed in parallel, maximizing processor efficiency..."

"Achieving even better performance at relatively low power consumption!"

"..."

"At the same time, a large-capacity cache is integrated to meet the higher demands of App."

"..."

"The powerful 4-core design of Shenlong No.1, with its conventional main frequency of 1.3Ghz, enables the performance of the central processing unit to be increased by 70% compared to the current A5 chip, which is the strongest mobile processing chip!"

"It is far ahead of the same type of mobile phone processing chip in the industry!"

"..."

Audience in the audience: "Fuck it is awesome!"

"..."

"Shenlong 1 also integrates PowerVR's SGX540 graphics processor with the same specifications as Apple's A5."

"How excellent the graphics processing performance of the Apple A5 chip is, and Shenlong 1 also has it, and thanks to more advanced technology, it will only be stronger!

Can provide the best and best gaming experience in the field of mobile phone processing chips! "

"..."

"At the same time! At the same time, Shenlong 1 is the world's first full 3G baseband chip that integrates WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and CMDA2000!"

"Have the best signal!"

"And the best data network experience so far! It can be called full Netcom!"

"..."

Audience in the audience: "Fucked! Support mobile 3G!"

"..."

"Shenlong 1 is also equipped with customized technology that can bring unique game and image processing experience..."

"..."

Speaking of this, Academician Chen Jianye paused briefly: "Although I have tried my best to introduce the excellentness of this mobile phone's processing chip, there will inevitably be some omissions. Please see the demo."

"..."

Then the video played on the big screen.

This is a video of less than 4 minutes from the joint liver of Baize Laboratory and Nuwa Laboratory.

The opening is to list a rendering of the processor.

The central processing unit in the upper left corner, the graphics processor in the upper right corner, the baseband in the lower left corner, and the multimedia module in the lower right corner are shown in turn.

It's not the detailed picture Fang Nian saw before.

This video introduces the excellence of Shenlong 1 more clearly and clearly, and specifically does not use reference objects for comparison.

It's just a very intuitive demonstration of the excellence of this processing chip.

Mentioned the excellent design in all aspects.

Including supported memory, baseband...

Including 8 million pixel camera support, 1080P display support...

and many more……

Passionate vents over and over again gradually calmed down the emotions of the audience and those who watched the live webcast.

Especially for the live audience, after all, the voice, the palms of both hands, are a little painful.

This video of less than 4 minutes makes them more and more curious about the same question:

"After all that, I understand how awesome and powerful it is, but I have a question. When did your frontier start working on mobile phone chips?"

"Don't tell me so much, Shenlong 1 is the best in the world. I already know that, can you explain how cutting-edge this magic is changed?"

"Is it a little bit of news in advance?"

"Co-authored just because your company is called Frontier, you can change the frontier trick, right?"

"I don't want to watch the video, I want to listen to the explanation!"

"Someone tell me, how can the frontier be so awesome?"

"..."

Ok……

Basically, I am curious about the same question.

What to say or not, Fang Nian was actually a little curious in his heart.

After all, he doesn't understand chip design technology.

Yesterday morning, Academician Chen Jianye got off the plane and went to Yangpu. He told Fang Nian about the results of the filming in the restaurant.

At first, Fang Nian thought it was because the Frontier Science Developers Conference was currently the highest priority of Frontier. After the tape-out was completed, Baize Lab could not report the failure.

However, the result given by Academician Chen is a more conservative word: "After the TSMC current chip was tested directly on the spot for two days, it was basically successful."

Correct.

Basically successful.

At that time, Academician Chen didn't mention anything else.

I also didn't say, ah, this frontier science developer conference, the entire frontier department has its own strength, even frontier academics have specially invited some professors to share technology, but Bai Ze has nothing.

Because of Academician Chen's conservative reply, Fang Nian did not immediately decide to release the Shenlong No.1.

He just asked Academician Chen to look again and try again.

This morning, Academician Chen, who had not returned to Luzhou in Shencheng, contacted Fang Nian again for a meeting.

Explained in detail the various limit test results of Shenlong 1.

Not only the Baize laboratory, but also the Nuwa laboratory to burst the liver.

The result is that after two failed tape-outs, the third tape-out is finally completely successful, and the limit test results show that it is far ahead of similar processing chips, and the performance of the central processing unit is substantially improved compared to Apple A5. 70%.

Fang Nian asked Academician Chen twice in a row whether he could ensure that the test results were completely valid in such a short period of time.

Academician Chen answered twice in a row: Yes.

Then Fang Nian made a decision, pushed down several technical exchange meetings, and changed it to the first show of the frontier Bai Ze Shenlong 1.

Also specially made a brief report with Du Mi and Sun Ganlong.

but……

Fang Nian still doesn't know how Bai Ze suddenly made Shenlong 1 so powerful.

The 28-nanometer process is indeed much better than the 45-nanometer process.

But, I didn’t say...

Is the default performance 20% higher than the Apple A5?

How can we conservatively estimate the performance increase by 70% now?

Why is it suddenly far ahead of all other mobile phone processing chips in the world?

"..."

……………

Looking at the demo played on the big screen, Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu next to him beep softly: "Time is still too tight. This demo does not meet my expectations."

"How do you say?" Lu Wei was puzzled, "I think it's pretty good."

Fang Nian briefly described his thoughts: "My personal expectation is that in a laboratory, an engineer will directly introduce it, rather than narrate the parameters."

"It's more substituting, right?" Lu Weiyu said with a turn of her eyes.

Fang Nian nodded, and then sighed: "To be honest, I'm actually as curious as everyone is, how the Shenlong 1 is so awesome."

"The planning standard requirements, including the name, are all set by you. Are you still curious about this?" Lu Weiyu was shocked.

Upon seeing this, Fang Nian poked his hands solemnly: "You seem to suspect that I know chip design?"

Hearing this, Lu Weiyu rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue embarrassingly: "My mine, it's okay, Academician Chen will talk about it briefly later."

"..."

Indeed, less than half a minute after this demo was played, Academician Chen Jianye walked onto the stage again.

The academician was full of red light and full of energy. He looked to the audience and smiled and said: "Maybe you still have some doubts, because there is no way to demonstrate the chip alone now;

However, I will answer some of your doubts, which can be regarded as a simple technology sharing exchange. "

After a short pause, Chen Jianye looked calm: "First of all, let me explain a core issue. The Frontier Baize Lab is a laboratory that only has the ability to design mobile phone SoCs, and does not have the ability to develop chips;

We only carried out a certain independent design on the authorization of the command structure of the arm;

According to endless statistics, the independent intellectual property rights of Shenlong No. 1 account for only 10%. "

"This is also the reason why I will compare with the Apple A5 chip when introducing the parameters just now, because the Apple A5 also uses the ARMv7 instruction set and Cortex-A9 architecture authorized by the arm."

"Specifically, companies including Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, and MediaTek have adopted such a model on mobile phone processing chips;

Generally, the industry believes that only companies with independent micro-architecture R&D capabilities are considered to have chip R&D capabilities. Micro-architecture R&D is also one of the most technologically-content fields in the chip industry. "

Finally, Chen Jianye made a simple summary: "In Fang Nianfang's words, the work done by Baize Lab is only the integration of general solutions; at most...

After integrating the plan, I did some, uh... trivial independent design work. "

After Chen Jianye explained this point, the audience burst into laughter.

Someone shouted: "Fang is awesome, everything is trivial!"

"..."

Then Chen Jianye said, "Next is ten minutes to answer. Please ask professional questions as much as possible."

Staff shuttled among them soon.

If someone raises their hand high, a microphone will be plugged into their hand.

"Academician Chen, according to your statement, the mobile phone processing chip industry is currently in the same model, so why the same command architecture, the Shenlong 1 has such strong performance parameters, surpassing Apple A5 in all directions?"

Academician Chen answered this question from a professional perspective with a smile.

"... So in general, the manufacturing process is a very important reason. Of course, Bai Ze's design is also very important."

In ten minutes, someone continuously raised some professional questions in cooperation.

Including floating point processing performance.

Including the graphics processing performance after chip integration and so on.

Also includes out-of-order execution.

Also includes CPU ‘dynamic’ frequency.

It also includes questions about ‘All Netcom’.

Academician Chen gave answers one by one from a professional point of view.

This is the knowledge reserve system of an academician who wants to contribute his life to China Integrated Circuits.

Even some tricky questions were answered very professionally.

Standing under the spotlight, Academician Chen Jianye seemed to be shining all over when explaining professional issues in popular language.

The endless romance and freehand brushwork.

Although this is the first time Chen Jianye has faced so many audiences, the academician is very indifferent.

Ten minutes will be here soon.

Academician Chen Jianye made a gesture: "Because of time, I can only answer the last question~www.ltnovel.com~Please ask."

At this time, the microphone was snatched by a media reporter.

"Sorry, Academician Chen, I am a media reporter, and my question has nothing to do with my profession;

I want to ask a question on behalf of countless audiences on the scene and on the Internet, how did the frontier suddenly have a mobile phone processing chip, and the performance of the Shenlong 1 is so high that it is completely at the forefront of the world. "

"Please answer."

Upon seeing this, Chen Jianye smiled lightly, his expression kind: "I shouldn't answer this kind of question with a single technique, but I can say a few words from my perspective, it can't be considered a frontier point of view."

After a brief pause, Chen Jianye said peacefully: “Bai Ze is a laboratory that was established in Luzhou last year. Mr. Fang Nianfang persuaded Luzhou to provide strong support and eventually raised more than 12 billion yuan in funds for the laboratory. ..."

"From the beginning, Bai Ze's goal was not to design an ordinary chip."

"Privately thinking that Shenlong 1 can achieve such a success, it should always be at the top of the credit list;

Because Fang always has only one attitude: he is responsible for throwing money, and we are responsible forever! "

"thank you all."

The release of Shenlong 1 has come to an end, but the speech and webcast did not end.

When Chen Jianye stepped down from one side, Guan Qiuhe took the stage again...
