Chapter 982: Xiongxin Series·Product Launch(2/3)
...
Just as representatives from various countries and major semiconductor manufacturers rushed to participate in the meeting.
On the other side, at the Jinling International Convention and Exhibition Center, Xu Chuan was walking side by side toward the interior of the venue with Long Teng, the deputy director of the Science and Technology Department, and Mr. Ren from Warwick.
For such a major event as the product launch of carbon-based chips, if there were not urgent matters to be dealt with in Beijing, I am afraid that the person attending this meeting would be the senior leader Yuan Zhouli.
However, there are many leaders attending the product launch today. In addition to Deputy Director Long Teng from the Science and Technology Center, there are also deputy directors from the Industrial Information Center, top leaders from Jinling, etc.
It can be said that the government has spared no effort in building a platform for carbon-based chips.
The group of people chatted while walking towards the venue.
His eyes fell on the signs and posters at the hotel entrance, lobby, corridors and other places. Looking at the pictures related to carbon-based chips and mobile phones, computers, etc., Long Teng, the deputy director of the Science and Technology Department, looked curiously.
Xu Chuan asked.
"Looking at these posters, you have already produced carbon-based chip mobile phones and computers?"
In fact, the breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology shocked not only foreign semiconductor manufacturers and Western governments.
Even they themselves were shocked.
Xinghai Research Institute is well known for its research on carbon-based chips in conjunction with Huawei HiSilicon, SMIC and other companies.
But the senior management actually doesn't have much hope as to whether they can make any major breakthroughs here.
After all, Xinghai Research Institute was transformed from the original controllable nuclear fusion research team, and the leap from the energy field to the chip semiconductor field is too big.
There are many domestic institutions researching carbon-based chips, and there are a lot of professional ones, but there have been no breakthroughs in this field.
As a result, no one expected that under the leadership of Academician Xu, carbon-based chip technology would actually be developed.
Xu Chuan smiled and replied: "Not yet, but Huawei is already designing mobile phones, computers and other products based on the current Xiongxin series chips."
"According to the current situation, it will only take about half a year at most before we can launch the first mobile phone using carbon-based chips!"
On the side, Mr. Ren from Warwick also smiled and said: "Three years!"
"In up to three years, Warwick will comprehensively change its internal ecology, and electronic products such as low-, mid- and high-end mobile phones, computers, etc. will fully use carbon-based chips!"
"At the same time, Warwick's other products, such as routers, whole-house intelligence, network equipment and other products will also be replaced in batches!"
"In addition, we will also adjust the Hongmeng architecture to make it more suitable for the performance of carbon-based chips!"
At this moment, Ren Zhengfei was extremely proud and confident.
Centering on carbon-based chips and carbon-based semiconductors, Warwick will fully cooperate with Xinghai Research Institute to create a new ecological industry chain.
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, and said: "The application of carbon-based chips in mobile phones and computers is not the key. According to the previously agreed policies, we need to make complete changes to the entire semiconductor industry chain around carbon-based chips!"
"Our goal is to achieve upgrading in all fields where carbon-based chips and carbon-based semiconductors can be applied! Remove silicon and leave carbon!"
Hearing this, Long Teng, the deputy director of science and technology, couldn't help but praise him.
"Okay! Okay!"
"This is Hua Guoxin! The real core of hope!"
.....
The product launch conference of carbon-based chips was held at Jinling International Convention and Exhibition Center.
After handing the invitation letter to the security guard, Intel President Pat Gelsinger walked into the venue.
Led by the staff who had already prepared, the group walked towards the infield where the product launch conference was about to be held.
Looking at the signs and posters that were almost all over the venue, Pat Gelsinger squinted his eyes and looked at the different product pictures on the posters.
Among them, what concerned him the most was undoubtedly the boxy carbon-based chip diagram.
The pitch-black chip is covered with mysterious patterns, and the pillars around it are as dazzling as the stars around a black hole.
Although he knew that this was just a conceptual diagram drawn by a computer, it made his heart tighten involuntarily, and he had a vague feeling of something bad.
Has China really developed and prepared finished carbon-based chips?
How is this possible?!
You know, this is something that even top semiconductor companies such as Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD have failed to do. To this day, he still doesn't believe this is true.
It's not clear whether he doesn't believe it or doesn't want to believe it.
...
At 9:50 in the morning, in ten minutes, the carbon-based chip Dragon Generation product launch will officially start at the Jinling International Convention and Exhibition Center.
The ‘guests’ from all over the world have already taken their seats, waiting anxiously, fearfully or uneasily for the official start of the press conference.
Sitting with Ren Zhengfei in the front row, Xu Chuan glanced at the empty stage and was also waiting for the meeting to start.
However, the two of them were in a much happier mood. The breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology was an epic milestone for both him and China.
Turning sideways, before the press conference started, Ren Zhengfei smiled and asked Xu Chuan: "Speaking of which, this is an opportunity to show your face in the world's semiconductor industry? Academician Xu, don't you really want to go up and say a few words?"
Xu Chuan turned to look at him, smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's not necessary, I'm not interested either."
Ren Zhengfei smiled and joked: "But you must know that at least half of the people in this venue are here because of your name."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan shrugged and said, "If I have to go up and say a few words because they come here because of their admiration, then wouldn't I have to stand in the sky and speak every day?"
Ren Zhengfei was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"I almost forgot. If you gave a lecture on mathematics and physics, the scene would be even more shocking than this."
He almost forgot that this guy was a mathematical physicist, not someone in the semiconductor field.
And in the first two fields, his achievements are much more brilliant than in the semiconductor field.
The two chatted and time passed by little by little.
For Xu Chuan, the reason why he did not give a speech this time was because he really had no interest.
On the other hand, there are some young people who are more cultivated.
After all, for him, there has long been no shortage of opportunities to pretend... ahem... to show up on the world stage.
But others are different, especially domestic scientific researchers, who rarely have this opportunity.
This time, the people who took the stage to give a speech were selected from the carbon-based laboratory-on-a-chip.
A very young scientific researcher named Fu Zhijie, who is less than thirty-five this year.
Although young, he has made considerable contributions in the research process of carbon-based chips.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Through packaging technology, we have solved the problem that carbon-based chips are easily affected by factors such as temperature, humidity and chemical environment, which can easily lead to chip performance degradation or failure. This has greatly improved
Stability and reliability issues.
Moreover, unlike Xu Chuan himself who is a dabbler in the chip field, this Fu Zhijie is a real talent in the chip field.
He dug it back from the United States a few years ago.
Perhaps many people don’t know him, but he also has a very famous classmate named ‘Cao Yuan’, a ‘genius boy’ who is famous in the field of graphene research.
The two studied for Ph.D.s at MIT together, but their research directions were different.
After the controllable nuclear fusion technology was completed, Xu Chuan used his own influence and that of Xinghai Research Institute to recruit both of them back.
Now both work at Xinghai Research Institute, but Cao Yuan continues to study his graphene superconductivity, while Fu Zhijie joined the Carbon-based Chip Laboratory and made great contributions in the process.
For Xu Chuan, he has never been stingy in rewarding these scientific researchers.
For example, this opportunity to report on stage is both a reward and an exercise.
After all, for Fu Zhijie, with this resume blessing, his future academic career in China will undoubtedly be smooth sailing.
...
At nine fifty-eight, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.
On the stage, bright and dazzling lights came on, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes with a slightly nervous posture stood in the center of the stage, his eyes falling on the crowd in the audience.
Perhaps because it was the first time he appeared on such an occasion, Fu Zhijie had a somewhat reserved look on his face. He took several deep breaths before calming down, and then made a simple opening statement while trying to maintain a steady speaking speed.
After politely welcoming the guests present, unlike scholars like Xu Chuan or CEOs like Ren Zhengfei, who have a strong aura and can make some digressions on the stage, he went straight to the topic.
After receiving a transparent protective box containing a small carbon-based chip from the staff on the side, Fu Zhijie lifted it up, faced the camera, and spoke smoothly.
"Xiongxin No. 1! The first commercially available carbon-based chip of the Xiongxin series of chips."
"It was jointly developed by Xinghai Research Institute and Huawei HiSilicon, SMIC, Peking University, Shuimu University and other corporate institutions."
"The Xiongxin series of carbon-based chips are produced based on carbon nanotube materials and combined with carbon-based chip technology. They use the advanced SoC architecture of Huawei HiSilicon's carbon nanotransistors developed by the carbon-based chip laboratory under the name of Xinghai Research Institute
SMIC’s 28nm multiple exposure and other multiple technologies were jointly completed.”
"The standard Xiongxin No. 1 commercial chip has integrated 10 million carbon-based transistors per square millimeter, for a total of 1.07 billion transistors..."
When Fu Zhijie stood on the stage and disclosed the specific performance parameters of the Xiongxin series chips, countless people in the audience who participated in the product launch, even though they had seen it in advance in the "Exploration" journal, still felt at this moment
I was shocked by it.
10 million carbon-based transistors per square millimeter, a total of 1.07 billion!
