Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 71 Taishan 900 Design Scheme! A sucker comes knocking.

"Notify Huawei's Taishan PM100 to be prioritized for supplying Honor phones, with a price of 12 yuan per piece. Additionally, other manufacturers who wish to purchase from us will also be allowed to do so, with a price... set at 15 yuan."

"12 yuan? We only make 3.5 yuan per piece?"

Chen Hai didn't quite understand.

"That's right, at this price, Huawei's terminal is, after all, a godson, so they should at least give us some profit."

As for other manufacturers, as long as the volume is large, we can lower the price a bit. They can even use our Type-C fast charging protocol for free. Our goal is to achieve high sales volume with low profit margins.

Once all manufacturers are using our chips, the profits from economies of scale will be substantial, and they'll already be tied to our cause. We can discuss profits then.

This time, everyone looked at Shen Fei, and they understood what the boss meant.

This is the same tactic Qualcomm uses, except that Qualcomm buys mobile phone chips and includes a communication baseband, while Transsion buys fast charging chips and includes a fast charging protocol.

But the goal is the same: to fatten the pig before slaughtering it.

When everyone nodded, Shen Fei spoke again: "And the PM100 in Mount Tai is just an appetizer."

"This is the design plan for Mount Tai 900."

Transsion's first integrated chip integrates 3G and is expected to adopt a quad-core A9 architecture, while also integrating a Mali-400 GPU.

Every time Shen Fei mentioned a target, Li Jiahui's eyes widened even more. He really wanted to interrupt his boss, as the goal was too ambitious.

But he decided to wait until Shen Fei finished speaking before he spoke...

"As for the chip manufacturing process, we plan to use a 28nm process."

"No! Mr. Shen, the quad-core processor uses a 28nm process, so the power consumption will indeed be reduced to a certain extent, and it can be used."

However, the most advanced process currently on the market is 32nm, and that's still in small-scale trial production. The 28nm process you mentioned will take at least another four or five years.

Our technology is still quite good, although integrating the CPU and communication baseband together will significantly increase the difficulty of the work.

"But we are still confident that we can complete the design of this processor within two years, which is completely unnecessary," an American engineer said first.

He was previously an engineer at Qualcomm, but was laid off due to the economic crisis.

He believed he was initially unconvinced by his own skills, but was easily defeated by Li Jiahui.

But he couldn't help but step forward to address this idiotic goal, after all, there were too many things to solve with this chip.

Quad-core CPU, integrated CPU, integrated communication baseband – each step is incredibly difficult for Transsion Semiconductor at present.

They believed that with their own skills, plus the expertise of Li Jiahui, they could solve the problem, but the biggest problem was something they truly couldn't solve.

Shen Fei remained silent as he watched them, when Li Jiahui also joined in.

"Boss, the 28nm process can indeed improve chip performance, but that timeframe is... too early. Even if we design it, we won't be able to manufacture it."

"I'll handle the design issues."

Your job is simply to design this chip and then develop a dual-core TaiShan 600 SoC based on it, using the same integration process.

Also, this is the design data for Taishan 900, which can significantly improve your work progress.

After speaking, Shen Fei handed a USB drive to Li Jiahui. This was an extra product included with the production line.

Li Jiahui quickly ran to the computer next to him, opened the USB drive, and carefully looked at the technical information on it.

I read it page by page.

The more I looked at it, the more my hands trembled.

This is not the technical data the boss mentioned, but a complete design plan.

"This...this design..." He looked up, staring at Shen Fei in shock.

"This level is at least 5 years ahead of the international level, and at least 10 years ahead of the domestic level. Although the architecture is Arm, the power consumption control is excellent."

Boss, this blueprint…”

Shen Fei's expression remained unchanged: "This is the result of your Taishan team, and it has been deeply optimized based on the ARM reference architecture."

Li Jiahui immediately understood that this was probably the boss making a move again.

"Okay, boss, we understand."

If this chip is successfully developed, its performance will significantly outperform Qualcomm's chips. At that time, we will be a super company that combines self-developed chips and self-developed systems, and we will be ahead of Apple.

"When I return to China, I'll definitely become an overnight sensation."

As an industry insider, Li Jiahui had also looked into the fruit sector.

Apple, as the world's first manufacturer to release a smartphone, has been etched into a milestone.

Although they enjoyed the glory, they still had one major problem: developing their own chips.

After all, the world-shaking Apple 3G was powered by a Samsung chip, which was neither good for profits nor for their reputation. They would definitely have to start developing their own chips.

"If the boss has this technical data, we can complete the chip design by the end of the year. As long as the production line is resolved, the new mobile phones next year will definitely be able to use our Taishan chip."

After reviewing the technical documents, Li Jiahui patted his chest and assured him.

Just as they were preparing to take over, Huang Tianya strode in.

"Boss, Academician Wu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences is here. He wants to hear our views on the semiconductor fund in detail, and then he will return to Kyoto tonight to give a report."

"Okay, I'll be done here soon. Please ask them to go to the conference room first."

After saying this, Shen Fei patted Li Jiahui on the shoulder.

"Professor Li, I believe in you. Next year, your team will definitely be able to get Transsion using its own chips."

I'll give your team a bonus then.

"The bonus will allow me to eat even more Chinese food."

This idea immediately excited other foreign engineers.

Shen Fei chuckled upon hearing this ingenious idea, then quickly encouraged him, "That's right. You can definitely enjoy more Chinese cuisine."

Of course, this isn't America, and your needs will be taken seriously.

"Tell the logistics department what you'd like to eat, and we can find a chef to cook for you, so you can have something new and different every day."

These details immediately touched the hearts of these engineering students. One by one, they excitedly shouted, "Boss, we guarantee we'll complete the mission!"

……

Professor Wu had already arrived at Transsion's conference room, where Huang Tianya's deputy was already greeting him. The two also chatted about their views on investment.

Many ideas instantly gave Professor Wu some inspiration.

He did not forget his real purpose; this operation was still about securing funding for the semiconductor industry.

"Mr. Shen, please forgive my intrusion."

Shen Fei's enthusiasm exceeded his expectations. Shen Fei greeted him with a smile, saying, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I've been waiting for you, sir."

Professor Wu instantly got goosebumps all over; this unexpected enthusiasm made him feel uneasy...
