Chapter 182 It’s time for me to fight back?

"What a joke, it's impossible!"

"I admit that Phoenix Auto's intelligent technology is very strong, but intelligent technology and chips are not the same thing. I don't believe that Phoenix Auto can produce automotive-grade SOC chips in such a short time."

"Fake news! This is definitely fake news."

When I saw the news circulating on the Internet at the first time, NIO, Ideal, Geely and other car companies flatly denied the news.

As first-tier car manufacturers, they know too well how difficult it is to make domestic chips.

Many times it is not that car companies are unwilling to invest, but that chip research and development is not only very huge, with high risks, but also patent restrictions everywhere.

For example, the SOC automotive-grade chip SE1000 that Geely is designing, first you need to pay a licensing fee if you use the ARM architecture, and then when you use various chip patent technologies during design, you need to pay the relevant patent fees.

Even if the chip is successfully mass-produced in the end, the corresponding patent fee for each chip is still required to be paid when producing each chip.

No matter how aggrieved or reluctant you are, you have to pay the money because the technical patent is in the hands of others.

After all the expenses are done, you will be magically discovered in the end.

TM’s own chip development and design cost is much more expensive than buying Qualcomm’s.

This is a damn!

For example, mobile phone manufacturer Huawei Group designs its own chips, which can even spread the chip costs through the shipment of more than 100 million mobile phones every year. What about automobile companies?

Car companies such as BYD and Geely only sell one million vehicles annually, while more car companies only sell more than one hundred thousand vehicles annually.

???

There are only hundreds of thousands of main control chips a year for more than 100,000 cars, so I'll do it!

Self-developed chips are more expensive than buying finished products. What should I do?

Now, it is said that Phoenix Auto developed Phoenix's own chip without sounding.

Don’t you need ARM licensed patents? Do you need Qualcomm licensed chip patents?

Will Qualcomm be willing to license chip patents?

impossible.

But.

When car companies entered the Phoenix official website without believing in the evil, they immediately opened their mouths when they saw the relevant data of the "Tiger Leap" chip.

Good guy!

This is not an ARM architecture, nor is it an X86 architecture, this is a brand new chip architecture!

And after seeing the performance parameters, people were stunned!

What mainstream car companies now call smart cockpits is actually a large mobile phone.

What are you doing!

What a supercomputer!

But soon.

Many car companies who are familiar with chip technology immediately realize another terrifying problem.

Phoenix Auto has created a new "future operating system" under the ARM architecture and a WIN system under the X86 architecture?

That……

"Hurry up and contact Phoenix Auto and ask if this chip and its operating system are sold?"

...

On the other side.

Fang Chaoyang, CEO of Zezra (Yanguo), who had finally passed a few comfortable days recently, was deeply shocked.

He held the phone tightly with both hands, stared at the phone screen, his face full of disbelief!

He received a notice from the headquarters a few days ago, asking him to take advantage of the time when Phoenix is ​​short of chips and secretly plan to contact third-party companies and Phoenix Automobile to see if he can take the opportunity to acquire Phoenix Automobile's related technologies.

But!

In the blink of an eye, all the chips were created, and it’s all that crazy to buy them!

Fang Chaoyang looked at the third-party company information prepared on the table, and his eyes fell on the hot video comments on his mobile phone again, and his heart couldn't help but shivered!

Phoenix's popularity has risen again.

I'm afraid it's no longer a question of whether to acquire or not. Phoenix Auto is probably going to be reborn from the ashes!

"Secretary! Secretary!"

"Hurry up and contact President mask, contact now!"

...

Soon, the huge phone ringtone woke up the sleeping mask.

“What Fukk!”

It was around 5 pm in Yan Country time, and it was around 5 pm in the Americas!

The confused mask answered the phone in anger. Before he could vent his dissatisfaction, Fang Chaoyang's rapid voice came from the other end of the phone.

"President, something is wrong. Phoenix Automobile independently mass-produced a 14-nanometer SOC vehicle-mounted chip!"

"Well? Phoenix Auto has mass-produced its own chip..."

What!

Mask's confused brain suddenly woke up and suddenly sat up from the bed.

Phoenix Automobile, 14nm? Self-produced chips?

How is this possible!

After hearing this news, mask couldn't believe his ears.

He quickly got up from the bed, answering Fang Chaoyang's report on the phone, and urgently turned on the computer. He had to check what was going on immediately!

After Fang Chaoyang finished the report and hung up the phone, mask was shocked and expressed his words.

Unable to wait for the computer at home to turn on, Mask couldn't wait to walk out of the house and head straight for Zezra's headquarters!

After a while, mask came to the headquarters. After reading the data of the "Tiger Leap" chip released on Phoenix's official website, he looked gloomy and silent!

NB-Y architecture, a brand new architecture designed by Phoenix Automobile?

What a joke?!

Is the brand new chip architecture so easy to develop?

but.

It’s okay with the architecture, but the performance of this “Tiger Leap” chip is really beyond recognition!

Mask is a technical maniac and knows technology very well. He has never seen any chip that has both the advanced processing power of the CPU and the computing power of the GPU!

This is really incredible!

As we all know, the car systems of Zezra Model 3 and Model Y do not use ARM chips, but adopt the same assembly method as PC computers.

Use Intel's automotive-grade CPU + Nvidia GPU to build an on-board host, and match it with the on-board system developed by Zezra itself.

And what about the Phoenix "Tiger Leap" chip?

The performance of a "Tiger Leap" chip is equivalent to CPU + GPU!

Mask was completely confused!

After thinking about it, there is only one reason for this situation, that is, Phoenix's NB-Y architecture is far more advanced than the current X86 architecture and ARM architecture!

Only by improving the operational efficiency of the instruction set in the architecture can such performance be improved!

Thinking of this, he was even more stupid!

But soon, mask recovered from incredible and shock.

After he recovered, a cold sweat rushed to his forehead, anger and panic surged into his heart.

This is broken!

Phoenix Auto can build 14nm chips by itself, which means that the failure of United Qualcomm to sell out of stock Phoenix Automobile chips was announced to be aborted.

It is no longer possible to limit Phoenix Auto!

Phoenix Auto, which has no chip constraints, will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Zezra!

But, this is not the most cruel!

With the relationship between Phoenix Auto and Mi Auto, if the chips are supplied to Mi Auto, Mi Auto's strong brand and cost-effectiveness far higher than Model 3 will definitely have a huge impact on Zezra!

An irritable and uneasy mood mixed with panic rippling in mask's heart. He walked in the spacious office, constantly thinking about various solutions!

It was soon eight o'clock in the morning. Before he could think of a solution, employees gradually arrived at the office to work in the headquarters building of Zesla. Before he could think about it, a person suddenly broke into the closed office.
