Chapter 37 This chip is very strange

The first value is the main frequency, which actually exceeds 2.6GHz.

Of course, this number is not very exaggerated, but after the second number "energy consumption ratio" came out, the three of them were stunned.

This energy efficiency ratio is quite impressive and is at the top level, even surpassing most mainstream seven-nanometer mobile processor chips and higher than Gaoxin's current flagship model.

A high main frequency is not scary, what is scary is that the main frequency is high and it is still very power-saving.

You should know that this also means lower heat generation and greater stability.

This means that the processor chip is of very high standard.

Before the three of them could react, numerical values ​​were generated one after another.

Extreme power consumption, low power consumption comprehensive performance, highest power consumption comprehensive performance, single-core CPU computing power, multi-core CPU computing power...

The three of them read it one by one and were dumbfounded.

Each of the values ​​is very good. Although not so exaggeratedly good, when taken together, it is indeed a very powerful chip.

Wang Chengdong's mouth kept trembling, and after a long while he said, "How is this possible? The performance of this chip is so strong?"

Xu Zhijun didn't know as much about chips as Wang Chengdong did, so he asked, "What level is this...? How powerful is it?"

Wang Chengdong thought for a moment and said, "If these values ​​are correct, then the performance of this chip will not be much weaker than our 990."

Xu Zhijun's eyes almost popped out.

You should know that Kirin 990 is Huayao’s current flagship chip, and it can be said to be the world’s best seven-nanometer mobile chip.

And the unidentified chip in front of us is actually close to this level.

Then, the architectural assessment came out.

Eight cores.

That’s right, an eight-core CPU.

Three large cores, three medium cores, and two small cores...

Wang Chengdong almost buried his head in the screen. After looking at it for a long time, he said, "An eight-core CPU must be under ten nanometers."

Xu Zhijun was completely confused.

Unbelievable, unbelievable.

The chip is more excellent than you can imagine.

At this time, Zhou Hua pointed at the screen and said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Xu, look, this chip also integrates NPU and GPU, and the design is very advanced."

Lots of information.

It is not enough for a CPU to just be well designed. Without excellent manufacturing technology, it is impossible to implement the design.

Xu Zhijun immediately asked: "What is the model of this CPU? Is there a model identification?"

Zhou Hua operated the keyboard and called up another list of information.

Zhou Hua said: "There is a model identification, called...JS01."

Xu Zhijun and Wang Chengdong looked at each other, confused.

"Zhou Hua, have you seen this CPU information before?"

Wang Chengdong understood what Xu Zhijun meant.

Xu Zhijun suspected that this CPU was not made by that semiconductor manufacturer at all, but was purchased from other manufacturers and then sent as a sample.

In fact, if you think about it calmly, this is very possible, and the other party has the motive to do so.

After all, you have to do the whole show.

But such tricks are easily discovered.

As a high-tech product manufacturing company, Huayao uses countless chips and has come into contact with many chip designs. It has established a chip IC database and all the chips it has come into contact with are stored in the database.

It can be said that most chips that have appeared on the market can be found in the IC database, or at least similar designs can be found.

Zhou Hua operated the keyboard and began to search the IC database for IC designs that matched or were similar to this mysterious chip.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Wang Chengdong and Xu Zhijun stared at the screen without even daring to breathe.

To be honest, they are feeling very complicated right now.

On the one hand, they didn't quite believe that this semiconductor company could really produce such advanced chips.

On the other hand, they were worried that they could really match the chip and found out that it was actually purchased from other places, which was a big disappointment to them.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the three of them didn't say anything, just nervously watching the changes on the screen, and the air seemed to freeze. After a moment, a prompt message finally appeared on the screen.

[Search ended, no consistent IC design was found]

Zhou Hua was stunned and forgot to report for a moment.

In fact, there was no need for Zhou Hua to report, as Xu Zhijun and Wang Chengdong had already seen it very clearly.

The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Wang Chengdong was a little excited: "It seems, it seems that it is really their own thing."

Xu Zhijun was relatively calm: "Could it be that other companies haven't released the chips? So we haven't come into contact with them."

Zhou Hua said: "This chip is very well designed. It would be a pity if it is not mass-produced and sold."

Wang Chengdong immediately asked: "What about the architecture? What is the architecture of this chip? Is it ARM?"

As we all know, the current mobile chip architecture is basically ARM.

Zhou Hua immediately manipulated the keyboard to bring up another page, which displayed the chip's architecture information.

Zhou Hua looked at the code for a long time, then shook his head: "It should not be the public version of ARM architecture."

“If not ARM, then what?”

"look here……"

Zhou Hua pointed at the screen and said, "It says JS on it. This should be the architecture code of the chip."

"…JS again. What does JS stand for?"

The three of them looked at each other, of course they didn't know.

In fact, JS is the abbreviation of "Jiangshan".

This chip was designed by Hu Jiangshan himself, and the architecture was written by him in his previous life. It is not perfect, it is just a test version.

But even if it is a beta version, it is already quite powerful in this era, at least not worse than the ARM public version architecture.

Therefore, the performance of this chip shocked the three people present.

Zhou Hua said: "It is certain that this is a 7-nanometer CPU chip with first-class flagship performance, but because of its special architecture, its compatibility with mainstream apps will probably not be very good."

Wang Chengdong rubbed his face, as if trying to relieve his mood.

He said to Zhou Hua: "You should continue to test it. It is best to actually run it on the development board and then study the chip architecture and compatibility to see if the compatibility is really poor."

Zhou Hua nodded: "Okay, I plan to do that too."

"If you find any problems, please inform me and Mr. Xu at any time."

"I understand. I will report any problems I find in a timely manner."

A moment later, Wang Chengdong and Xu Zhijun came out.

Instead of returning to the office immediately, the two found a place to whisper.

Xu Zhijun looked skeptical: "Old Wang, do you think this is reliable?"

Wang Chengdong said, "The test results won't lie, Mr. Xu."

"But how is this possible? Besides TSMC, Sansang, and Intel, is there a fourth company that can make 7-nanometer chips?"

"Well, they did it anyway, you can't deny it, right?"

Xu Zhijun smiled bitterly: "I really want to admit it, but there are many doubts. We can't believe it so easily. In this situation, we can't make any mistakes."

Wang Chengdong also knew that the matter was of great importance and that he could not draw conclusions lightly.

The test results are ideal, but the more ideal they are, the more uneasy people feel.

Wang Chengdong asked, "By the way, Mr. Xu, didn't you want to ask the Huo family for the name of that company? Did you find it out?"

Xu Zhijun shook his head: "The Huo family said the situation is a bit complicated and they don't want to expose the company's situation."

"Ah? Don't want to be exposed?"

Wang Chengdong suddenly thought of something and said, "It's normal not to want to be exposed. If you are really exposed, you might be killed."

Xu Zhijun nodded.

“But how can we cooperate if we can’t contact them?”

"That's a solution. We need to contact someone."
