158 The core has a consonance, originality
A good name is very important and will be very beneficial to future promotion and sales.
Although it was a bit troublesome to name, the team still sat down patiently to discuss.
To put it simply, changing the name of a chip is as important as changing the name of your own children.
After rejecting one name after another, all four people in the room fell into silence.
The names of animals are definitely not available. Although there are many animals running fast on the earth, they feel that they are not suitable for them when they are used as chip names after careful consideration.
As for the flat-headed brother chip, this is purely funny.
When other companies released their chips, Qualcomm could speak very generously about the Xiaolong 898, and Huawei proudly said the Kirin 990.
And what does our company say, flat-headed brother 233?
Suddenly, Chen Yao's inspiration suddenly appeared.
He snapped his fingers: "I suddenly thought of a name. Let's see how it feels?"
Guan Xinyan, Sun Zhennan, and Zhou Weiming's eyes were all projected on him.
Chen Yao typed two words on the keyboard, and the two words were presented on the tablet computer.
Lingxi
"Lingxi?" Sun Zhennan, Zhou Weiming, and Guan Xinyan read it out at the same time.
"That's right." Chen Yao snapped his fingers: "The chips we independently developed are called Lingxi chips!"
Guan Xinyan recited it silently for a few times, and it felt very nice and easy to remember. It can be impressive at a glance and conform to the company's usual naming style.
"Is there any meaning?"
A name that sounds good only doesn’t last long. It’s like a beauty with no inner temperament. No matter how beautiful she is, it will be boring after watching it for a long time.
Chen Yao took a sip of green tea and said slowly: "Lingxi, everyone is familiar with this word. It comes from a classic poem. It has no colorful phoenix flying wings, and it has a spiritual understanding of it!"
"Lingxi is the ancient legendary rhino horn. There is a white texture in the horn. If we have it in our hearts, we can communicate with each other, reach a tacit understanding, and know each other's needs."
"To put it bluntly, chips are circuit integration. When users operate mobile phones, the chips will execute corresponding commands to realize human-computer interaction!"
"The chips we make are AI chips. Only by achieving 'core' can we understand the needs of users!"
After listening, Guan Xinyan, Zhou Weiming, and Sun Zhennan, his eyes lit up!
A good name! It sounds nice and has deep meaning!
"What do you think?" Chen Yao said, and he was dry, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I agree!" Sun Zhennan was the first to raise his hand to support.
Guan Xinyan and Zhou Weiming nodded in agreement.
In this way, the chip independently developed by Legend Company is called Lingxi.
Since the independent research and development of chips has been confirmed, what should the architecture of the mobile phone processor be done? What is the name?
"Have you thought about the processor architecture?" Guan Xinyan asked.
All modern industrial products require architecture, and building buildings requires architecture. A good architecture can improve the overall quality and performance of the product.
Most of the processors of mobile phones are ARM architecture, which is the architecture of a famous British chip company. It was later acquired by SoftBank and later acquired by Nvidia. In other words, it is a company controlled by the United States.
Although the most awesome Huawei Qilin has independently created the Da Vinci architecture, it is also modified based on the ARM architecture.
Chen Yao cleared his throat. When the secretary saw that the tea in his cup was gone, he immediately poured him tea.
"I've thought about it a long time ago, and I have to do the architecture myself."
“Is it customized modification based on the ARM architecture?”
"No." Chen Yao's tone was very firm: "Get rid of the ARM architecture, we will develop a better architecture completely independently!"
If the chip is designed independently and the architecture is used by foreigners, it is very likely to be strangled to death again.
If someone doesn't use it for you, would you still design something?
If you naturally choose to be self-reliant, you must do it thoroughly and make a complete transformation. The entire architecture is completely new!
With the current chip industry developing towards artificial intelligence, a good chip architecture can make chips smarter.
For example, it requires a brand new architecture to make speech recognition more accurate, have greater image recognition capabilities, improve the smooth operation experience of games, etc.
Legend has become the world's leading technology in artificial intelligence, such as natural voice, and the intelligence of voice assistants is more powerful than other similar software.
Chen Yao has absolute confidence that he can create a better architecture than ARM.
"Have the name of the architecture been confirmed?" Guan Xinyan asked.
Naming is a nerve-wracking job, and you can't do it randomly. Sun Zhennan and Zhou Weiming are both engineers. They are very good at math, but they really can't do Chinese.
I changed the name of the processor before, but changed one by one and was rejected.
Chen Yao is not only a technical expert, but also has literary cultivation. Don’t forget that he also has another identity - a great writer.
Chen Yao put down the teacup and quickly typed two words on the tablet.
Craftsmanship
"Craftsmanship architecture?" Sun Zhennan felt that the name was novel and full of doubts.
"That's right, it's a craftsmanship architecture." Chen Yao said slowly: "There is an idiom called 'unique ingenuity', which means a modern master with exquisite thoughts and creative technology and art!"
"After all, chips are a pursuit of extreme refinement. In terms of architecture, we must do them independently and be unique!"
"Wonderful! Very wonderful!" Sun Zhennan thought this name was really amazing!
Perhaps, only people like Chen Yao who travel across the fields of technology and art will think of such a name.
Conservatively estimated that 3 signature engineers are required to design Lingxi chips.
It is difficult to find so many chip designers in China, but there are them abroad, but they may not be willing to come here, and no matter how high the salary is, they cannot come. Companies like Qualcomm have signed long-term contracts with chip designers, but other companies cannot poach them at all.
The only way is to cultivate it yourself. Fortunately, Legend has an intelligent fast learning platform.
Chen Yao asked with concern: "How is the smart fast learning platform running now?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Weiming felt a little excited: "The platform is very outstanding, which has accelerated the speed of cultivating chip talents!"
"I expect that with the help of the intelligent fast learning platform, we can cultivate tens of thousands of chip engineers within one year!"
Domestic companies are the least short of money in making chips, nor are they lacking in technology. As long as the talents are in place, technology is not a problem.
With the intelligent fast learning platform, the problems that have always plagued the domestic chip industry have finally been solved.
At the end of the meeting, Lingxi chip based on craftsmanship architecture has been launched!
Before this, the company had already done a lot of preliminary research by thousands of engineers, and the super fast learning platform, the legendary first-generation chip will be born soon.
Chapter completed!
