"This is really good news." Mr. Hu was excited.

He knows very well that semiconductors are too expensive and require state machinery and large funds.

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes. And the priority of support is between us and SMIC. Now SMIC is also working on the 40nm process. Once they complete it, the technical gap will be limited."

"If we can complete the 28nm process before the big fund is established and completely crush SMIC, then our first place will be stable!"

"I understand!" Mr. Hu said solemnly: "Don't worry, Director Wang, we will achieve mass production of 28 nanometers in late April and June, and I'll take care of it!"

"Mass production of 28 nanometer chips in June?" Wang Yi raised his eyebrows with joy, and then changed the subject: "No, Mr. Hu, it's already April 20th, June is only a little over a month, is it too late?"

"It's too late, the main reason is that the yield rate needs to be improved!" Mr. Hu said calmly.

But Wang Yi was shocked.

What a familiar scene!

Last time, it was the same.

Wang Yi thought that Mr. Hu hadn’t finished the 40nm process yet, but it turned out that Mr. Hu had already done it. He just thought that the yield rate was too low and was not considered a success, so he didn’t mention it at all!

Is it the same this time?

"Mr. Hu, you have developed the 28nm process... but the yield rate is not high?" Wang Yi asked.

Wang Yi’s definition of success for the 28nm process is that it can achieve 28nm chip production.

Mr. Hu’s definition of success for the 28nm process is that it can achieve successful production and the yield rate exceeds 85%, otherwise it will be a failure!

This is not even a standard!

For example, SMIC's 40-nanometer process can currently produce chips, but the yield rate is too low, less than 50%, and cannot be mass-produced.

Mr. Hu nodded: "We have done it, but the yield rate is only 70%. Give me another month and I will try my best to increase the yield rate to 85%, preferably 90%!"

"Okay, great!" Wang Yi was in a good mood: "The recent good news is really one after another!"

"???" Mr. Hu became interested: "Besides big funds, what other good news is there?"

Wang Yixiao said: "The research and development of Kunpeng 901, Kunpeng 902, and the Wing Loong 4000 baseband are all going smoothly. There are no problems in the verification phase so far, and the final tape-out is just short of that."

"That's good news. In this way, let them come over and bring their chips with them next time to test the yield rate and trial-produce a batch."

"Okay, I'll let them do the tape-out!" Wang Yi was overjoyed.

This was the case last year. The yield rate of the 40nm process continued to increase, and both Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702 were successfully taped out.

It would be really great if the results are the same this year!

If everything is done, we will have to wait for the yield rate to increase to above 85%, and the equipment for the second and third phases of the B1 wafer fab to be put in and debugged. It will also take a month or two, and it will be put into production in June at the earliest.

If all goes well, 28nm mass production will be achieved in June, with a monthly production capacity of 50,000 wafers, a monthly output of 30 million 28nm chips, and 30 million 40nm chips.

That couldn't be better!

The next day, George took the core members of the Kunpeng 902 team to the R&D center of the first phase of the Xingyi B1 wafer fab again.

Also here are the core members of the Pangliguo Pterosaur 4000 team.

Currently, only the first phase of the R&D center has a small R&D factory, which contains a small 28-nanometer process production line, which is used for experiments, testing, and optimizing the yield rate of the 28-nanometer process.

Last year's 40-nanometer process was also developed in this R&D plant.

The same is true for the current 28nm process.

Theoretical research and development is first carried out in the R&D center. After the theoretical verification is passed, offline testing is carried out in the R&D factory. After the yield rate exceeds 85% or even 90%, it will be promoted to other factories for formal mass production!

By then, the R&D center and R&D factory will continue to develop the next generation process.

"Mr. Hu, I have to trouble you again." Pang Liguo said with a smile.

Mr. Hu waved his hand: "It's no trouble. Without your chips and basebands to make money, my wafer factory may have to shut down."

George also said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Hu, tapeout is much more convenient for us, otherwise we would have to queue up at TSMC!"

"Haha, Director Qiao is serious. It's amazing. Last year, your master brought you here, but this year you are taking the leading role!"

Mr. Hu also admired George very much.

It's not easy to be able to stand alone at such a young age and take up Williams' position.

"The master taught me well, but I was worried about embarrassing him." George said with a smile.

"They all have a bright future." After some pleasantries, Mr. Hu got straight to the point: "Let's study the plan first, make preparations, and officially tape-out in a few days!"

"Okay!" George and Pang Liguo responded, looking calm and calm, but feeling a little nervous in their hearts.

Especially George, who took the lead for the first time and took charge of the research and development of Kunpeng 902/901. If something went wrong, it would be over.

If he really fails, his career will be over.

On the contrary, Pang Liguo is more relaxed.

The previous success of the Pterosaur 3000 gave him some confidence.

Wang Yi did not personally intervene in these matters and only waited for the final results.

On the contrary, Wang Yi returned to Jeju again to prepare for the centralized delivery of three major projects.

On the 23rd, Wang Yi attended the delivery ceremony of Xingyi Mobile J2 Super Factory.

Although it is only the first phase of the J2 super factory, it can still increase annual production capacity by 40 million yuan and increase monthly production capacity by more than 3 million yuan per month.

Next month, the annual production capacity of Xingyi Mobile's own factory will increase from the previous 120 million to 160 million!

Monthly production capacity increased from the previous 10 million to 13.33 million!

An improvement of more than 33% is terrifying.

The simplest thing is that with these production capacities, Xingyi Technology's high-end new flagship mobile phones can be fully self-produced in the future.

Old flagships and unbounded mobile phones need to continue to be manufactured by BYD.

"Chairman, is the J2 factory also used to produce xphone 2pro?" Zhu Changlin asked.

Wang Yi nodded: "Well, the production capacity is full. In the past few months, we will go all out to produce xphone 2pro. Even if we don't sell out, it doesn't matter. We will stock up on goods. By August, we will have to free up production capacity and go all out to produce xphone 3."

When the Xphone 3 comes on the market, equipped with the Kunpeng 902 processor, it will definitely sell well.

At that time, the sales of xphone 2pro will decline. At that time, the inventory will be used to support it, and then it will be handed over to BYD for OEM.

As new mobile phones are released, sales of older models are declining sharply.

For example, after the Xphone 2pro was released, it sold out instantly, but the sales of other models were declining sharply.

The Xphone 2, which sold tens of millions of units per month last month, has sold up to 8 million units this month.

The xphone 1pro, which sold 8 million units a month last month, has sold a maximum of 5 million units this month.

These are all things that can't be helped.

On the contrary, xphone 1, with its quad-core processor, XOS system, Xingyi Technology brand, and ultra-low price starting at 2,499, is still selling well, and its sales this month can still be maintained at around 8 million.

The main product is cheap, easy to use, and truly connected to the Internet.

There is no way, xphone 1 has upgraded the SOC of Kunpeng 506, and its performance is not bad at 2,000 gears. Coupled with the 60% bonus of the XOS system, the performance is close to Qualcomm's current flagship processor Snapdragon 600!

It only costs 2499, and users are naturally rushing to buy it.

That is to say, the running memory is only 1G, which is a hindrance. Otherwise, it will suppress the sales of both xphone 1pro and xphone 2.

This is also the reason why Wang Yi upgraded the processor of Xphone 1 but not the running memory.

If the running memory is upgraded and everyone buys the xphone 1 starting at 2499, then the more profitable models such as the xphone 1pro and xphone 2 will not be easy to sell.

However, the initial price of Xphone 1 started at 3299, and it has been sold to this day, which is considered a record.

If we persist for another six months, when Unbounded Note is released and the stock of Xphone 1 is cleared, we will be done with it.

Other subsequent models will not have such a long life cycle.

Wang Yi changed the subject: "Chang Lin, are the xphone 3 and Xingyi mobile phone X1 all arranged?"

Zhu Changlin nodded: "The research and development of the full-screen display has already been completed. It can be directly used as the new X series. It is not difficult to make the Xingyi mobile phone X1.

"Very good." Wang Yi nodded.

It is undoubtedly safer to launch the full screen as a new X series.

Just like the Xiaomi MIX series, all subsequent advanced designs will be launched and tried in the X series.

The xphone series is still updated twice a year.

In this way, no matter whether the X series is successful or not, it will not affect the basic disk of the xphone series.

"The key is packaging technology, which limits our product design." Wang Yi sighed.

He also knew that under-screen fingerprint scanners were good, but unfortunately they couldn't do it in 2013 because the technology wasn't up to par.

He also knows that the hole-punch screen is better than the current Xiaomi Mi Mix with the camera in the lower right corner.

But there is no way, the current packaging technology cannot do it.

However, with the current COG packaging technology, it is impossible to make a mobile phone without a chin. It just has a big forehead and a big chin.
