Chapter 1276 Reciprocity

Facts have proved that Professor Hu’s flag is not only effective domestically, but also effective in front of Intel.

Bingxin has carried out a lot of technical cooperation over the years. It has not only joined the technology development alliance composed of "defeats" such as Infineon and GlobalFoundries, but also jointly developed baseband technology with Yike, Samsung and Apple.

In China, Bingxin has led more technical cooperation, not only in the semiconductor industry, but also in extensive research and development with universities.

This time, Fang Zhuo still has to be thankful that he has you.

After finishing this trip of sincerity and promotion, he called Hu Zhengming, who had just landed, and talked about what he had seen and heard at Intel, and truthfully described the respect of the other party.

It is also different from the domestic SMIC. It will take a long time for SMIC to really implement the FinFET process. Intel has been trying small-scale mass production since last year. This year, it announced that it will use 22nm in 2013. Plans to introduce FinFET into mobile chips.

There is nothing to say about Intel's technology, but its problem on the mobile side is that it insists on using the complex X86 architecture, which lags behind ARM in terms of power consumption and performance.

In order to solve this problem in the plan announced this year, Intel announced that it will launch mobile chips based on the Silvermont architecture, which it says is very competitive.

With new architecture, new processes, and new goals, Intel is now eager to have technical experts in related fields come over to communicate, not to mention Hu Zhengming, the "Father of FinFET" who saved Moore's Law.

No matter how proud Intel is in the technology field, the teams led by Hu Zhengming and his disciple Liang Mengsong, who worked together at Bingxin, are extremely attractive.

"There is no other way. I have to go out of my way." Although Hu Zhengming had traveled a long distance to fly here, his voice on the phone was full of anger and said with a smile, "Intel has invited me before. This time we have a win-win exchange. Bar."

He has been the first to know the news about ice cores these days. He paused briefly and said comfortingly: "It is indeed difficult without EUV, but although multiple exposures increase the mask process and other steps, the cost and overall yield are both If you can work hard to overcome it, the sky will not fall."

"Yes, as long as the professor is here, the sky in the ice core will not collapse." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

"Okay, everyone takes turns to hold on. This time I will try to see if I can hold on." Hu Zhengming also laughed, "Finally, I have reached a field where I feel confident."

Fang Zhuo has actually seen a lot of solemn faces recently and received a lot of nervous phone calls. Now that he hears Professor Hu's laughter, he feels a little more relaxed.

Professor Hu is not only a flag to the outside world, but can also stabilize the morale of the military inside the ice core.

It was late, and taking into account the jet-lagged rest, Fang Zhuo met Professor Hu face to face just before departure, but they didn't chat for too long. Apart from Intel, they only talked about the intention of using SMIC as a vest to curve EUV. .

"You can try it, but one is definitely not enough. It depends on how many SMIC can buy." Hu Zhengming didn't care about EUV at this time. "Anyway, having one is always better. In the final analysis, it probably depends on yourself. "

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's okay. If you carry forward the spirit of optimism, I can probably still see that day."

Fang Zhuo's thoughts turned around, but he couldn't pick it up immediately.

"I strive to be on par with Zhang Zhongyan. His body is really great." Hu Zhengming said cheerfully.

Zhang Zhongtong is 16 years older than Hu Zhengming and is still active in his job.

Fang Zhuo said seriously: "We all strive to be on the same page. When my seventieth birthday comes, Professor and Dr. Liang will come over and visit the ice core with me."

Hu Zhengming was amused and shook hands with the boss again. This was one of the things he liked about ice cores. It was hard not to say that Mr. Fang's own existence seemed to represent a long-term goal.

After saying goodbye to Professor Hu, Fang Zhuo and his group got into the car heading to the airport.

This trip was a tour of Germany and France, and then I needed to return to my country to talk about future development in light of the current restrictions. When things came to a close, I felt a little anxious at home without seeing anyone.

In the evening, the private plane took off.

Liu Zonghong looked at his boss looking thoughtfully at the scenery outside the window and said, "I don't know what kind of products Apple will launch this month."

Fang Zhuo was still looking at the sunset outside the window and replied casually: "Now the main thing is to catch up with each other in terms of core performance. Apple's chip is different from the original design, but there will not be too unexpected changes. After all, That’s Cook.”

Looking at the overall market, consumers around the world have quickly adapted to smartphone systems, but they still have a strong demand for performance development.

This is probably an important reason why Samsung is pushing for self-designed chips this year. It also hopes to achieve a greater degree of software and hardware integration to facilitate matching the system ecology.

Liu Zonghong nodded silently, thinking about the real restrictions imposed on his trip to the United States. He also thought about the recent background and said, "November is very soon."

From flying in May to flying back in August, these three months passed in a blink of an eye, but I still haven’t seen one important factor come into effect. The final results of the American campaign will be announced in November.

Fang Zhuo smiled: "It's very soon. I hope our relationship will be as good as before."

Liu Zonghong didn't know if his boss had other intentions. He figured out that the other party was not interested in chatting, so he quietly put away some newspapers and documents.

According to his impressions over the past three months, the boss should have achieved his goal. With the voice of a group of semiconductor and Silicon Valley companies, Bingxin also "successfully" stopped listing, but in the end, it still had a purchase restriction.

But from another perspective, this restriction has not been deepened, which is probably barely acceptable.

Liu Zonghong has been following him for these years and feels that he can still generally feel the boss's mood. He thinks that his mood this time is not as low as the outside world thinks.

"Qingzi" landed at Dresden International Airport in Germany. There was no rest when it arrived this time. It was not just to inspect Bingxin's factory area, but to meet with semiconductor industry friends here with Hilbert, the head of the capital, and others.

Because of the establishment of Bingxin Factory and its geographical and logistical advantages, it has gradually entered the European industrial supply chain, and because Bingxin continues to pursue advanced processes, its future upgrade potential is also favored by the administration.

Dresden was once the industrial ecological city where Fang Zhuo inspected the project. This time he came here for both the usual maintenance and the legendary inspection of Bingxin's second overseas factory.

Fang Zhuo naturally did not say that he had already finalized the landing in France, but smiled and talked about Qiu Ciyun and others' next stop being Dresden.

Hilbert was very satisfied with Mr. Fang's statement, believing that his side had strong competitiveness. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with Bingxin's experience.

"Bingxin is a global brand. The American group is too barbaric. What reason do they have to restrict Bingxin from buying things from us in Europe!" Hilbert was quite indignant.

Fang Zhuo nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, we also think their restrictions are unreasonable and have submitted an appeal. At the very least, our European factory should be able to buy equipment from Europe."

Hilbert agreed more this time. Bingxin Factory is a joint venture with Germany.

"But, no matter what, Bingxin has already seen this situation." Fang Zhuo looked out, "We should face this challenge of development together."

Hilbert nodded first, then smiled and said, "Yes, speaking of which, Magdeburg is developing very fast. The last time I visited Bingxin's factory, it was at night. Bingxin under the moonlight was really beautiful. I think we can also have such an industrial landscape in Dresden."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and said sincerely, "If the conditions are right, Dresden will also have a new era of "Ice Core under the Moonlight". As far as I am concerned, whether it is Magdeburg or Dresden, Bingxin is willing to work with European friends for mutual benefit."

Hilbert heard Mr. Fang compare the oil painting "Dresden under the Moonlight" and liked him even more. He shook hands with him again and said seriously, "Of course, this is a friendship of development, and we should maintain it together."
