After Chen Jianye finished reporting one by one, he heard silence on the other end of the receiver and quickly continued speaking.

"Mr. Fang, the result of such a major mistake is mainly my responsibility."

"The projects of the confidential laboratory were not disclosed to the outside world. Some of the research results were only summarized to me, and then some technical results that could be used internally were released. After interoperating with Loongson, the current situation has emerged."

At this point, Chen Jianye sighed: "I don't want to shirk responsibility. There was a fundamental mistake in the technical direction. It happened to be the cooperation of Loongson, so I boldly allowed it to continue."

"This yet-to-be-named instruction set architecture is 100% independently developed in accordance with the simplified instruction set standards. Because of Loongson, a certain degree of compatibility design has been carried out, and the simulation test results are also very good."

After hearing what Chen Jianye said, Fang Nian suddenly interjected: "Does this mean that the degree of completion of this instruction set architecture is already very high?"

“Basically just missing actual tapeout verification?”

Before Chen Jianye could speak, Fang Nian quickly asked a few questions: "What are the various performance indicators of the simulation test? What about the R&D investment?"

Finally he came to his senses and said with a gentle smile: "Academician, don't rush to say you made a mistake, and don't rush to take responsibility. At least what I heard now is great news!"

Hearing Fang Nian's laughing voice and a bit excited tone, Chen Jianye almost didn't react.

But after all, he is an outstanding academician in the prime of life, with a clear mind and quick reactions.

"This instruction set architecture has been determined to be only used in computer CPU design and cannot be used in mobile phone CPUs. Basically, it can be said that the R&D investment of the confidential laboratory is all on this. Roughly estimated R&D investment is 1.12 billion."

"Of course, the research and development process of the entire project will also save R&D investment suitable for mobile phone CPUs. After all, they are all streamlined instruction set systems."

Chen Jianye first answered the funding issues that most bosses are most concerned about, and then went on to introduce them.

“The pre-silicon completion rate can be considered 95%. Because of Loongson’s technology sharing, subsequent steps basically only require tape-out verification;

However, the overall CPU design currently completed is a solution based on SMIC’s 65nm process after sharing part of the technology with Loongson.”

After a pause, Chen Jianye introduced the simulation test performance one by one.

"Mr. Fang, let me first introduce the contents of this new instruction set architecture:

Contains 233 basic instructions, 20 virtual machine extensions, 156 binary translation extensions,... a total of 1991 native instructions;

The command format has been redesigned, with 6 available formats;

…

Mainly developed based on Nuwa DeskOS, it can run native programs based on this instruction set architecture, and is also compatible with DeskOS programs of other instruction set architectures through translation, including MIPS, X86, and arm;

Because of Loongson’s technology sharing, the translation overhead for the MIPS instruction set is extremely small;

The translation execution MIPS target is 100% native performance, the translation execution arm target is 95% native performance, and the translation execution X86 target is 60% native performance;

It can support Windows systems, but the overall translation execution target for Windows is only 30% native performance;

Because it can 100% translate and execute MIPS, it is fully compatible with the MIPS ecosystem."

“The simulation performance results of this CPU are approximately equal to the level of the Pentium E2140 released by Intel in 2007;

Main frequency 1.6Ghz, dual core, bus frequency 800Mhz, shared 1MB L2 cache, FSB 200MHz, frequency multiplier 8, design power consumption is 65W;

The interface design will support the chipsets of mainstream motherboards currently on the market;

For the time being, it is only available for desktop use."

Listening to Chen Jianye's detailed introduction on the phone, Fang Nian frowned slightly: "Isn't that an exaggeration?"

Fang Nian even wanted to talk about Vietnam.

Then he explained: "Although I have no impression of the Pentium model you mentioned, before Intel launched the Core series in the past two years, the Pentium was its high-end series, and the U in 2007 had such performance parameters..."

“Loongson’s previous design and R&D capabilities were not strong.”

Hearing what Fang Nian said, Chen Jianye scratched his head a little and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Mr. Fang, you may not know that I am a relatively cautious person and usually only talk about 80% of the actual simulation performance."

“Loongson’s design and R&D capabilities are not strong because there is no money;

The design of a general-level CPU for a computer that is several years behind the times, not counting the previous massive technology accumulation, the laboratory still invested more than 1.1 billion;

If it doesn’t even have this performance, then I think it has really failed to live up to your expectations of Baize Laboratory.”

After listening to Chen Jianye's explanation, Fang Nian breathed a sigh of relief: "This more than 1.1 billion was well spent."

"It's at least several billion cheaper than the Shenlong 1. It can be just a few years behind, and it doesn't matter."

After a pause, Fang Nian mused: "The research and development of the instruction set architecture has produced such great results, the work of the confidentiality laboratory may be adjusted to some extent;

Don’t rush into tape-out yet, I hope to take a look at the integrated core display solution and try to see if it can be done in one step. In this regard, the company will promote Xiangchu’s Jingjiawei to join a large-scale technology alliance.”

"Secondly, I hope academicians can help in the technical field. I want to promote the formation of an independent instruction set architecture alliance. The alliance members must not only be Loongson;

Of course, the first point is that litigation over the command system cannot occur within the alliance."

"This is a rough outline. I will let Frontier lay out the specific plan as soon as possible."

Then, Fang Nian added: "However, academicians still have to work harder in the originally planned development direction. Shenlong 2 has completed basic design verification, and our mobile phone CPU independent instruction set architecture has not yet been implemented."

"Okay, okay." Chen Jianye agreed with a smile, "I support what Mr. Fang said unconditionally."

"I will urge the confidential laboratory to be divided into more project groups internally to complete the company's strategic development requirements."

Fang Nian smiled slightly: "Academicians have worked hard. Recently, someone from the Frontier will go to Luzhou to commend the outstanding employees of the laboratory."

"Then first thank Mr. Fang for my colleagues, haha~" Chen Jianye said cheerfully.

"..."

…………

After ending the call, Fang Nian calmed down and fell into thinking.

The confidential laboratory inside Baize Laboratory accidentally developed an independent computer CPU design plan and basically passed the simulation verification.

This is considered unfavorable behavior for the planning of Baize Laboratory.

But it is not bad news for Frontier, or for Nuwa Laboratory.

Because Fang Nian took the initiative to spend money to promote Loongson to form a technology alliance, mainly for the development of Nuwa DeskOS.

To a certain extent, a DeskSon alliance similar to wintel has been established.

From the root, it affects some major foreign hardware manufacturers, such as NVIDIA and other low-level driver support for DeskOS.

After all, Fang Nian knows very well that in the field of GPU, the only one that can afford it in China is Jingjiawei. It is not the Jingjiawei of today, but at least the Jingjiawei of 2014 or 2015.

However, seeing that Jing Jiawei is a Xiangchu enterprise, Fang Nian is still happy to join forces with it now.

Thinking about all this mess, Fang Nian suddenly muttered: "Ecology..."

Then looking at Lu Weiyu, who was almost looking at her with longing eyes, Guan Qiuhe said: "Baize has basically finished the design of Shenlong 2, and accidentally figured out the instruction set architecture and micro-architecture of the computer CPU.

It’s a good thing, but..."

As he said that, Fang Nian spread his hands and said, "We are very busy, especially Mr. Guan. I'm afraid your vacation will be wasted."

Fang Nian obviously said this last sentence on purpose.

Sure enough, Guan Qiuhe's eyes widened twice: "How come... you're in trouble?"

"Isn't this great? What does it have to do with me?"

Fang Nian said seriously: "Because I see the possibility of forming the 'ecology' that Frontier wanted when it was founded."

"So, you have to get busy."

Boss Guan Qiuhe was not happy: "I don't understand ecology or anything like that. Anyway, I think it has nothing to do with me."

"I want a vacation!"

"I quit!"

Guan Qiuhe almost jumped up.

Next to her, Lu Weiyu considered it and said, "How about...Mr. Fang, do you think we can help? Mr. Guan has been crazy busy these past few months."

"No, you can't help. We can only close the head office." Fang Nian said calmly.

Guan Qiuhe: "..."

Seeing that there was no way to escape like this, Guan Qiuhe pursed her lips and said softly: "Then...that's fine, I'll just do it."

Seeing this, Fang Nian finally couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Guan, it's true that you are the only one who can do it, but we have to go in September at the earliest, so...it won't affect your vacation."

"Don't act like an angry little wife."

Hearing this, Guan Qiuhe stared straight at Fang Nian, with his chest rising and falling, and a fierce expression on his face, as if he was about to eat Fang Nian alive.

"You wait for me! Sooner or later I will kill you!"

Fang Nian was not afraid at all and waved his hand: "Okay, I won't make trouble with you anymore. It's time to celebrate the festival. Everyone is here."

"..."

…………

…………

After all, today is the weekend and Chinese Valentine's Day, so it's not too late to celebrate the festival first and then do errands.

It is not an urgent project in itself. Even if it has been successfully taped out, commercial use will be difficult.

Several cars drove into the yard in succession.

Wu Fucheng and Bai Zhou were usually quite frugal and simple, so they shared a Ferrari - Bai Zhou still didn't bring his partner, just like Wu Fucheng, he didn't bring his partner until the relationship was finalized.
