Xu Guozhi first inspected the production status of each photolithography room. After confirming that the conditions in each photolithography room were normal, he went to the mask manufacturing room to check the situation.

Bird's Miao Dongping came over two weeks ago with the chip drawings of the fighter jet.

Because of the first trial production of self-developed chips, Waveguide only needs to manufacture two million chips.

One lithography machine has a production capacity of 250,000 wafers a day, two lithography machines can produce 500,000 wafers a day, and two million wafers only takes four days.

After communication between the two parties, Xu Guozhi agreed to arrange for them two photolithography machines to produce fighter chips.

In addition to checking the production progress of the fighter chip mask, he also wanted to check the production progress of the AMD K8 chip. The day after Cao Mang reached an agreement with the Freemasons, AMD people came to Kirin with the drawings.

According to Xu Guozhi's customized production plan.

AMD's CPU production will start on January 25. Xu Guozhi arranged for them to produce ten photolithography machine models. The output of 2.5 million pieces a day is enough for AMD to seize the market.

This time AMD will produce Athlon 64 x2 in four models: 4000, 4400, 4800 and 5000.

...

When Xu Guozhi came to the mask room, the workers were busy.

When he came to the mask design room, he saw Ding Zhongjing, the person in charge of the mask room, arranging work.

When Ding Zhongjing saw Xu Guozhi, he did not say hello immediately.

Because his work had not yet been arranged, Xu Guozhi waited quietly for ten minutes.

After arranging the work, Ding Zhongjing greeted Xu Guozhi: "Mr. Xu."

"How is the production of waveguides and AMD masks going?" Xu Guozhi asked.

In fact, Xu Guozhi could have waited for the other party's email in the office, but it would have been too idle for him to wait in the office, so he decided to come over and take a look in person.

After all, he is the director of the wafer fab, so he can't just listen to the reports from his subordinates. He still has to take a walk and take a look when he has time.

"The fighter mask will take another two weeks. According to the current progress, AMD's mask will be completed on the 20th of this month, which will be five days earlier than we originally expected." Ding Zhongjing replied.

"It doesn't matter if the manufacturing speed is slower. The most important thing is to ensure that the photomask does not make mistakes, otherwise it will affect other people's production plans. This is the first time we have OEM for others.

You must be cautious and cautious, this involves Qilin's reputation." Xu Guozhi said in a serious tone.

When producing for Kirin Group, the group allowed them to try and make mistakes. After all, the wafer factory had just started operating at that time, and making mistakes without experience was not a big deal.

But now they are OEMs for other companies, and they are not allowed to make mistakes at this time. Once they make mistakes, the cost of trial and error is very high, and this matter not only involves Kirin's reputation, but also involves problems in chip production.

If you make a mistake, you may have to start over again, and it will take a lot of time to make up for it.

Just like Kirin is doing OEM work for AMD this time.

AMD could have taken advantage of this advance production opportunity to seize the CPU market.

But once Kirin makes a mistake and delays production, AMD will miss this great opportunity.

"Mr. Xu, I have been personally keeping an eye on this matter to ensure that there will be no mistakes. The reason why the production progress can be so fast is because everyone's proficiency has improved, and the speed of making masks has also increased.

"Ding Zhongjing replied.

"As long as you can control it well." Xu Guozhi nodded.

Kirin Group President's Office.

After Cao Mang finished the work at hand, he called Lin Dongze to his office because he wanted to add a new product, which was a tablet computer.

In fact, tablet computers are nothing new. As early as the late 1960s, Alan Kay from Xerox Palo Alto Research Center proposed the concept of dynabook. He imagined that this was a computer that could be taken around.

The function is to help children learn.

Later, in 2002, Bill Gates proposed the concept of tablet computers.

Bill Gates also made it in 2005.

This thing is windoc, which is Microsoft's first operating system optimized specifically for tablet PCs. It is based on Windows XP Professional and is optimized for the tablet PC's stylus and ease of use.

However, due to problems such as the high price of computers equipped with windoc, low configuration, severe heating, etc., their market share is low.

Therefore, discussions on the Internet about windoc and related hardware have not been very popular.

This thing is thick and heavy and requires a stylus to operate. You can imagine how terrible this thing is. This is why Microsoft tablets cannot be sold.

But the tablet computer that Kirin is going to launch is different.

Kirin's tablet computer can be made very small with the support of Nuwa's low-power CPU. The most important thing is that it can be touched with fingers.

Once a product like this is put on the market, it will definitely sell very well.

When cutting leeks, they make a squeaking sound.

After Lin Dongze stepped out of the elevator, he sat down in the guest seat in front of the desk.

"Mr. Cao, do you have any plans for calling me here?" Lin Dongze asked.

Cao Mang picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to him. This was a drawing drawn by Cao Mang using CAD.

After taking the drawing, Lin Dongze carefully looked at the pictures and parameters on it.

Lin Dongze put down the drawing and looked at Cao Mang and asked: "Mr. Cao, do you mean to make a seven-inch laptop without a keyboard?"

Of course, what Lin Dongze said was just a parameter. In addition to seven inches, there is also the parameter twelve inches, but he did not say the number twelve inches.

"This thing is called a laptop." Cao Mang replied.

"Mr. Cao, is this size a little too small?" Lin Dongze asked curiously.

In his opinion, such a small screen is very uncomfortable to watch.

"This thing is meant to be held in your hand. You can think of it as a large mobile phone. Its control mode is the same as that of a mobile phone, using a touch screen to operate it.

It is designed to this size to make it convenient to use.

Its main use is entertainment and portable office use.

Imagine holding onto such a tablet to watch movies or play some casual games.

In addition to being used for entertainment, it is also suitable for portable office use.

For example, when you go to the factory..." Cao Mang described the application scenarios of the tablet computer to Lin Dongze.

This thing can be used in factories, hospitals, restaurants, shops and even teaching.

Later tablet computers were widely used in these scenarios.

After listening to this, a picture appeared in Lin Dongze's mind. The emergence of tablet computers will definitely bring great convenience.

"Mr. Cao, this design is really great." Lin Dongze said excitedly.

"This concept was proposed by Bill Gates a few years ago. They have already produced related products this year, but their products are quite different.

When you have free time, you should also pay more attention to foreign electronic product information.

If there is a suitable one, we can learn from it," Cao Mang said.
