Chapter 456

"It's not just about architecture."

After Li Biqing said, Professor Wang added: "although the design of architecture is also difficult, as long as we find top experts to study it, we can study it sooner or later. The most important thing is the restriction of the whole environment."

"Professor Wang, you mean ecosystem?"

"Ecosystem?"

Professor Wang heard the word for the first time, but he understood it just by thinking: "You have a good idea of the ecosystem. Indeed, it is the problem of the ecosystem. Microtel's CPU is supported by Microsoft and has built a powerful ecosystem under Microsoft's windows operating system. This ecosystem is so powerful that Apple didn't use Intel's CPU, so it had to be used in the end. In addition, ARM chip was licensed because it was open To all electronic enterprises, so arm has built a very strong ecosystem. "

"If we want to make our own chips, even if we make them, it's useless without software and hardware support."

Chen Yu nodded his head.

Huawei is so powerful in the previous life. Why hasn't it produced an independent chip? Why hasn't it launched its own operating system for the time being.

It's not that they don't have this technology, it's entirely because they haven't developed their own ecosystem yet.

If they create their own ecosystem, whether it's arm or Android, they can completely abandon it.

But at the thought of this, Chen Yu had a headache.

How can you break this situation if you haven't even done Huawei in your previous life?

"The best way now is to buy their license and develop their own chips."

Seeing Chen Yu's silence, Li Biqing suggested: "although the license we purchased is not the most advanced, it can still be used commercially. Moreover, we can study it ourselves on this basis and see if there are other opportunities for the future technology to grow."

However, Chen Yu shook his head at Li Biqing's suggestion.

Of course you can buy, but the more you buy, the deeper you get.

Just like arm, he uses this open authorization to make the world cooperate with him.

After he unifies the world, even if you don't want to cooperate with him, you can't.

Because at this time, all commercial markets are his, and it is difficult to replace them at all.

This is why arm can be so awesome.

Speaking of, there is still more opportunity to enter the chip field at this time.

Aside from others, arm has not unified the Jianghu at this time.

"Is there no other way?"

Chen Yu frowned incomparably.

However, suddenly, Chen Yu thought of a new architecture in his previous life.

RISC-V。

This is a new architecture developed in the previous life in 2014.

However, unlike other architectures, risc-v is open source.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu asked, "professors, if we come up with an open source chip architecture, will there be a chance?"

"Open source architecture?"

Chen Yu's proposal brightened the eyes of several professors.

"The idea is very fresh."

"From the operating system point of view, Linux is an open source operating system."

However, when they said so, several professors shook their heads after thinking about it: "it seems feasible, but the actual operation is very difficult. In addition, there are open-source software, but they have never heard of open-source chip architecture."

"Open source chip architecture is really a good idea, but if it is open source, it must have a strong company to implement it all over the world. Just like windows, if there is no such company, even if it has an open source chip architecture, it can not build its own ecosystem, which is also the reason why Linux is not popular."

"And there may not be many people willing to participate in this open source."

However, when Chen Yu thought of open source, he had more ideas.

"Companies like Microsoft don't appear in China for the time being, but they may not appear in the future. As for no one to participate, it's easy to solve. I can set up a foundation. As long as someone can put forward a new architecture and new ideas, even if he has only completed a little in the whole architecture design, the foundation can give him a reward."

"This idea seems OK, but you can't spend money all the time."

Li Biqing asked.

"In the early stage, I can spend money first, but we can't spend money all the time. We can make a rule that the foundation can be divided into various parts. Each manufacturer can pay a sum of money. After paying a sum of money, the chip architecture designed in the future can be used unconditionally and free of charge."

"How can other manufacturers pay this money?"

"It depends on whether they have this vision."

Of course, Chen Yu said so, but Chen Yu still has some confidence in this point.

Although a number of domestic electronic manufacturers are not big, it does not mean that they have no vision.

On the contrary, many large companies and enterprises have been silently waiting for this opportunity.

Of course, the interests involved have to be planned clearly.

Even if we want people to participate, we have to let them see the benefits.

Otherwise, to generate electricity for love, just to build a Chinese core, there is no practical interest, which will not work.

After all, like Chen Yu, they are pure businessmen. They are not to complete the national task. Even if it is to complete the national task, if there is no interest in it, it is difficult to do the whole market.

"Thank you, professors. I have an idea."

Chen Yu is a little excited.

He wants to perfect the idea immediately.

"I'll leave first. Thank you professors. I'll visit you next time."

"OK, you go and be busy. If you have anything to do, come to the school to see us at any time."

With that, Chen Yu hurried away.

"Lao Li, do you think Chen Yu's idea can work?"

"I don't know."

Li Biqing smiled and shook his head, "but I'm looking forward to it."

"So are we."

The professors looked at each other with great expectation.

Although they know that the opportunity is not great, if they don't do it, there will be no chance at all.

……

"Yifei, Wu Kai, come to the office."

"By the way, invite some of our experts."

With an idea, Chen Yuli will invite Zhou Yifei and others to the office.

Hearing Chen Yu's new ideas, several experts began to shine like Li Biqing.

But later I also found it too difficult.

But although it is too difficult, Chen Yu still makes a careful analysis one by one.

The reason why arm is awesome is that it is open.

The chip architecture is open source, which is even more open than the authorization of arm.

In theory, this must work.

There should be an early-stage investor, and Chen Yu is willing to be the first.

As for the second, the third

Although I don't know who can come in, Chen Yu also has an idea.

The new architecture can be more than just mobile phones. It has to involve all the electronic industries.

After all, not mobile phones need chips, but other electronic products also need chips.

Especially the future Internet of things, such as information sensors, activation scanners, cameras, infrared sensors... And so on.

yes.

It's the Internet of things.

Mobile phones are only one aspect of electronic products.

It's just the mobile phone alone. Maybe not too many people are involved for the time being.

But if we put the whole market into all electronic markets and the Internet of things, it would be terrible.

Chen Yu believes that such a proposal can definitely get the response of the market.

In that case, Huanyu technology will no longer fight alone.

In the future, if other enterprises participate, a foundation founding group will be formed depending on the amount of funds invested.

The foundation is in the charge of all members of the founding group.

Members of the founding group can use the chip architecture unconditionally and free of charge.

In addition, those who do not join the founding group must pay a fee if they want to use it.

This must be distinguished from arm.

Although arm is open, it is actually semi open. They still choose authorization.

In other words, they can authorize or not.

If others buy their authorization, they may not be able to buy it in the future.

However, the open source chip architecture developed by Chen Yu can be bought as long as you pay.

Here you can also learn about arm, which divides the open source chip design into high, middle and low levels.

The more money you pay, the higher the design you can buy.

If you have less money, choose to buy low-end design.

Such a scheme can not only bring a group of manufacturers together, but also distribute their respective interests.

If you don't want to join the founder team, you will pay for the design yourself in the future.

If you want to join the founder team, give a sum of money first.

A sum of money first can not only enjoy the free chip architecture, but also benefit from the funds delivered by other manufacturers in the future.

As for how to choose, Chen Yu does not make restrictions, which are decided by these manufacturers themselves.
