Chapter 67 Li Kui!
After Sanxin Group’s chip launch conference, the domestic Internet was suddenly filled with cries of grief.
Under the same architecture and process, the main frequency of a chip can be used to distinguish its performance from a certain perspective.
In the past few decades, the growth of the main frequency of silicon-based chips has always been in decimal units, increasing step by step with the improvement of photolithography technology.
Although Guoxin Technology released a 5-nanometer lithography machine not long ago, domestic chip manufacturers did not give an exciting report card in a short period of time. One of the reasons is that the accuracy of the lithography machine is limited, so that the prepared chips have certain defects and cannot be used on a large scale.
However, just yesterday, Sanxin Corporation suddenly released the next-generation chip technology, a new material chip based on carbon nanotubes.
The main frequency is directly increased by a full double!
This immediately filled the entire Internet with despair among people who had previously held high hopes for domestic chips.
The emergence of this technology is no longer a minor difference in process, but a generation gap at the material level.
Although the current chip has a higher power consumption and also has problems such as huge heat generation.
But as time goes by, most of these problems can be slowly solved.
Countless people who are optimistic about Sanxin firmly believe in this.
Three days later, at Linhai Science and Technology Park, a temporary stage was built outside.
At Fanren's reminder, Jin Qiaoying did not spend a lot of money on public relations to invite those self-media and news media as she did for a regular press conference.
Those who can come to the scene are all those who have cooperative relationships with Xinghai, as well as representatives of some chip application manufacturers.
Ke Fengyun is one of them.
But he is very depressed now.
After working with Fanren for so long, he was so cold-blooded that he refused to let him go backstage to see the chip that he coveted so much.
As the arriving crowd gradually filled the small venue, the lights on the ceiling suddenly dimmed.
This darkness did not last long, and then a spotlight on the stage came on.
Fan Ren appeared in the spotlight wearing a well-fitting suit that he had just bought.
"Hello everyone, I am Fan Ren, the chairman of Xinghai Technology. Welcome everyone to attend our company's new product launch today."
After saying this, Fan Ren nodded slightly, and as he moved, another spotlight came on, shining on the tray beside him.
"I believe that the friends present have already watched Sanxin's chip launch conference, but I still want to focus on the many advantages of carbon nanotubes. I don't know why, Sanxin Group's colleagues didn't mention these at the launch conference. I think it might be because the scene was too lively at the time, so they forgot this part of the main content, but it doesn't matter, I'll talk about it."
The corners of Fan Ren's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was mocking someone.
As he finished speaking, some reporters' eyes lit up like beasts smelling blood.
Judging from this passage, this Xinghai press conference will definitely be newsworthy!
"Oh, right! I forgot to introduce that this press conference is for the launch of Xinghai Technology's self-developed chip, so I still have to talk about the theme. Please look, this is the chip next to me. What a coincidence, we at Xinghai also use carbon nanotubes as the basic material instead of silicon."
Two spotlights focused on the square chip in the tray, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on it through the large-screen projection.
"Carbon nanotubes! Another carbon nanotube chip!"
"Xinghai Technology has successfully completed the research and development of this technology. I just don't know how its performance is. After all, the chip produced by Sanxin Group has the added bonus of three-nanometer lithography technology."
There was a whisper of conversation in the meeting room.
There was no way. The sensation caused by the Sanxin press conference three days ago was too shocking.
"Among the many excellent properties of carbon nanotubes, Sanshin Group introduced the mechanical and electrical properties at the press conference. So today, I will make up for the remaining important advantage on behalf of Sanshin's engineers.
Thermal performance!
Carbon nanotubes have extremely high thermal conductivity. This efficiency, combined with their excellent electrical conductivity, enables them to have extremely high temperature control efficiency in the application of electronic components.
Take the chip we released today, for example. It can be kept at a constant temperature of 45°C using only a conventional fan heater when running continuously at its extreme performance.
Fan Ren paused as the audience burst into exclamations again, interrupting his rhythm. "Mr. Fan! Are you sure it's 45C°! Not 145C°? You should know the difference!"
A figure stood up from a seat at the front of the venue, and with the loudest voice he could muster, he made this accusation resound throughout the venue.
Fan Ren squinted his eyes and looked over, but because the light was too dim, he couldn't recognize who it was.
We can simply analyze from the position of this person that he should be a representative of a mobile phone manufacturer.
That's normal, as mobile phone manufacturers attach great importance to the heat dissipation effect of chips.
"Please be quiet. Sir, please do not question my professionalism as an engineering student. I can still tell the difference between 45 and 145."
Fan Ren made a simple joke and then kept talking.
"Well, after helping Sanxin Group's engineers make up for the remarkable superiority of carbon nanotubes, it's now our Xinghai Technology's chip's turn."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few large words appeared above the screen.
'Xinghai Technology Graphene Chip Launch Conference'
The venue was silent.
Fan Ren was very satisfied with the effect, which showed that it could still cause a small shock.
"Xinghai Technology spent two years on this project, investing all of the company's profits. During this time, we experienced the incident of the lithography machine purchased from Aspen being seized, the battery business being collectively sanctioned by certain forces, and commercial espionage stealing research results, among other accidents.
Finally, the joint efforts of hundreds of employees of Xinghai have lived up to the important achievements brought to the stage today."
Fan Ren couldn't help but have a hint of anger in his tone. This journey has not been easy.
“Graphene chip! A true graphene chip!”
He held up the square chip on the tray in his hand. The back of the chip, with the four characters of Xinghai Technology printed on it, was flashing silvery-white light under the spotlight.
In Sanxin's general manager's office, Jin Ze was staring at the scene on TV, saying nothing with a serious expression.
Fan Ren's opening remarks today were without any tact, he directly pointed the finger at the Sanxin Group, his intention was not good!
He really had no idea how much difference this impurity-free carbon nanotube, combined with the 5-nanometer lithography process, would make compared to Sanxin's -nanometer graphene chip.
I hope the gap isn't too big!
“The characteristics and advantages of carbon nanotubes have been talked about a lot these days, and everyone is tired of hearing about them.
To save precious time, please look at the big screen."
Fan Ren showed a smug smile and turned around to look at the big screen behind him.
The huge screen is divided into two sides, the left side is "Star Core Generation 1" and the right side is "Sanxin Generation 1".
Fan Ren stared at him closely and raised his voice.
"Let's do the most direct data performance comparison."
Then Fan Ren pressed the button of the PPT in his hand.
Star Core Generation:
主频：100ghz，能耗：100W，制造工艺5纳米。15w风冷散热风扇极限运行温度45C°。
Three-letter generation:
主频：10ghz，能耗500W，制造工艺3纳米。300W水冷设备下极限运行温度150C°。
'boom'
Jin Ze smashed the crystal ashtray on the desk to pieces, his eyes full of shame and anger looking dark red due to congestion.
He really couldn't understand why a tiny difference in the purity of the carbon nanotubes would lead to such a huge difference in the actual finished product.
He couldn't accept this reality.
