The emotional catharsis time and time again gradually calmed down the emotions of the audience in the audience and those watching through the online live broadcast.

Especially the live audience, after all, their throats, hands and palms are all a little sore.

This video, which is less than 4 minutes long, makes them more and more curious about the same question:

"Having said so much, I understand how awesome and powerful it is, but I have a question. When did Frontier start developing mobile phone chips?"

"Don't tell me so much. I already know that the Shenlong 1 is the most powerful in the world. Can you explain how Frontier does this magic?"

"How about letting out a little bit of news in advance?"

"Co-authoring just because your company is called Frontier, you can do the Frontier trick, right?"

"I don't want to watch the video, I want to hear the explanation!"

"Someone tell me, how can Frontier be so awesome?"

"..."

Um……

Basically I'm curious about the same question.

I should say it or not, but Fang Nian is actually a little curious in his heart.

After all, he doesn't understand chip design technology.

Yesterday morning, Academician Chen Jianye got off the plane and went to Yangpu. He mentioned the tape-out results to Fang Nian at the leisure restaurant.

At first, Fang Nian thought it was because the Frontier Science Developer Conference was the highest-priority event at Frontier, and it was difficult for Baize Lab to report the failure after the tape-out was completed.

But the result given by Academician Chen is a relatively conservative one: "The test was conducted on site for two days directly after the TSMC current chip, and it was basically successful."

right.

Basically successful.

Academician Chen didn't mention anything else at that time.

I didn’t say, ah, in this Frontier Science Developer Conference, the entire Frontier Department has contributed its own strength. Even Frontier Academics has specially invited some professors to share technology, but Bai Ze has nothing.

Because of Academician Chen's conservative reply, Fang Nian did not make an immediate decision to release the Shenlong 1.

He just asked Academician Chen to take another look and try again.

This morning, Academician Chen, who was in Shanghai but had not returned to Luzhou, contacted Fang Nian again for a meeting.

The various extreme test results of Shenlong 1 are explained in detail.

Not only Baize Laboratory, but also joined forces with Nuwa Laboratory to explode the liver.

The result is that after two failed tape-outs, the third tape-out was finally completely successful, and the extreme test results show that it is far ahead of similar processing chips, and the central processor performance is significantly improved compared to Apple A5

70%.

Fang Nian asked Academician Chen twice in a row: Can the test results be completely valid in such a short period of time?

Academician Chen answered twice in a row: Yes.

Then Fang Nian made the decision to cancel several technical exchange meetings and change them to the first show of the cutting-edge Baize Shenlong 1.

I also made a brief report to Du Mi and Sun Ganlong.

but……

Fang Nian still didn't know how Bai Ze suddenly made Shenlong 1 so awesome.

The 28nm process is indeed much more advanced than the 45nm process.

But, didn’t I say that before…

Is the default performance 20% higher than Apple A5?

Why do we conservatively estimate that the performance has improved by 70% now?

Why is it suddenly so far ahead of all other mobile phone processing chips in the world?

"..."

……………

Watching the demo played on the big screen, Fang Nian whispered to Lu Weiyu next to him: "Time is still too tight, this demo doesn't quite meet my expectations."

"How do you say this?" Lu Weiyu looked puzzled, "I think it's pretty good."

Fang Nian briefly described his thoughts: "My personal expectation is that in a laboratory, an engineer will directly introduce it, rather than narrating the parameters."

"It feels more immersive, right?" Lu Weiyu rolled her eyes and said.

Fang Nian nodded, and then sighed: "To be honest, I am actually as curious as everyone now about how the Shenlong 1 is so awesome."

"You set the planning standard requirements, including the name, and you are still curious about this?" Lu Weiyu was shocked.

Seeing this, Fang Nian spread his hands seriously: "You seem to doubt that I understand chip design?"

Hearing this, Lu Weiyu rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "My, my, it's okay. Academician Chen will give a brief explanation later."

"..."

Indeed, less than half a minute after this demo was played, Academician Chen Jianye walked onto the stage again.

The academician's face was red and full of energy. He looked at the audience and said with a smile: "Maybe everyone still has some doubts, because now there is no way to conduct a practical demonstration of the chip alone;

However, I will answer some of your doubts, which is considered a simple technical sharing and exchange."

After a pause, Chen Jianye looked calm: "First of all, let me explain a core issue. Frontier Baize Laboratory is only a laboratory with mobile phone SoC design capabilities and does not have chip research and development capabilities;

We have only carried out certain independent designs on arm's instruction architecture authorization;

According to incomplete statistics, the independent intellectual property rights of Shenlong 1 only account for 10%."

"This is also the reason why when I introduced the parameters just now, I compared it with the Apple A5 chip, because Apple A5 also uses the arm-authorized ARMv7 instruction set and Cortex-A9 architecture."

“Specifically, companies including Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, MediaTek and other companies have adopted this model in mobile phone processing chips;

Generally, the industry believes that only companies with independent micro-architecture R&D capabilities are considered to have chip R&D capabilities, and micro-architecture R&D is also one of the most technical areas in the chip industry."

Finally, Chen Jianye made a simple summary: "In the words of Mr. Fang Nianfang, the work done by Baize Laboratory is just the integration of general solutions; at most...

After integrating the plan, I did some, um... trivial independent design work."

After Chen Jianye explained this point of view, good-natured laughter erupted from the audience.

Someone shouted: "Mr. Fang is awesome, everything is insignificant!"

"..."

Then Chen Jianye said: "The next ten minutes are for answering questions. Please ask as many professional questions as possible."

Soon staff members were shuttled through.

If someone raises his hand very high, a microphone will be stuck in his hand.

"Academician Chen, according to you, the mobile phone processing chip industry is currently using the same model, so why does Shenlong 1 have such strong performance parameters with the same instruction architecture, surpassing Apple A5 in all aspects?"

Academician Chen answered this question from a professional perspective with a smile.

"...So in general, the manufacturing process is a very important reason, and of course Baize's design is also very important."

During the ten minutes, people kept asking some professional questions in cooperation.

Includes floating point processing performance.

Including the graphics processing performance after chip integration, etc.

Also includes out-of-order execution.

Also includes CPU 'dynamic' frequency.

It also includes questions about ‘universal Internet access’.

Academician Chen answered the questions one by one from a professional perspective, making it easy and free to write.

This is the knowledge reserve system of an academician who wants to devote his life to China's integrated circuits.

Even some tricky questions were answered very professionally.

Standing under the spotlight, Academician Chen Jianye seemed to be glowing all over when explaining professional issues in layman's terms.

Endless romance and freehand writing.

Although this was the first time that Chen Jianye faced such a large audience, the academician dealt with it very calmly.

Ten minutes came quickly.

Academician Chen Jianye made a gesture: "Due to time constraints, I can only answer the last question."

"Please ask questions."

At this time, the microphone was grabbed by a media reporter.

"Sorry, Academician Chen, I am a media reporter, and my question has nothing to do with my profession;

I would like to ask a question on behalf of countless viewers at the scene and online, how did cutting-edge suddenly have mobile phone processing chips, and the performance of Shenlong 1 is so high, it is completely at the forefront of the world."
