Chapter 286: Better than iPod, half a step faster!
Chapter 286 Beating the iPod half a son, half a step faster!
Gu Song was at Liao Qingmin's wine table when he received a call from Liu Hanhao.
As Min Shouzheng said, since he returned home, he will definitely report to the leaders.
Of course, Liao Qingmin did not let him show up immediately, giving him enough time to reunite with his family.
Gu Song had a good meal at home, and went to Xie Hongxin's house for a meal on the topic of concern for career development. Xie Yinran's little loli grew a little longer, and now she is a little closer to Gu Song.
"Is Auntie Ye Zhiyan as beautiful as she is on TV?"
Hearing Xie Yinran ask this, Gu Song felt bitter in his heart.
My name is Sister Zhiyan, what do you mean by auntie?
"Brother taught you that those within 18 years of age are always called older brothers and sisters, do you know?"
Xie Yinran looked at Nie Ziqiang, not knowing how to applaud.
I have called Uncle Nie for two months, but according to the standard of taking care of loose, it seems that it should be called Brother Nie?
Xie Hongxin laughed: "Don't worry about her, little girl doesn't understand anything, drink!"
Gu Song was helpless, he did mix and mix, and he became her father's generation.
He hurriedly said, "Uncle Xie, I can't drink."
Xie Hongxin's eyes widened: "Bullshit, do you despise me?"
Gu Song was cowardly, so he quickly served a cup and punished himself.
After a hangover at Xie Hongxin's house, I had to go to Liao Qingmin's banquet the next day.
"Has the film been sent to the factory?" Gu Song also had some surprises. The call came at the right time, and Liao Qingmin just asked about the second phase of investment.
"It has been sent, the experimental data is all right, and the paper has been sent. Unlike the U-disk control chip, this achievement is truly world-wide. The breakthrough of DAC, which is only used for mp3, is really overkill."
Listening to the voice on the phone, Gu Song said with a smile: "Let's talk about applications in other fields, Professor Liu, then you will make arrangements to support the rover's mp3 chip requirements first."
hung up the phone, he said with a smile: "The second phase of investment is to wait for this result!"
Liao Qingmin asked curiously, "What is the result?"
Gu Song thought about it and said: "Let's put it this way, DA is also called a converter of digital signals and analog signals. Its main application areas are audio, calibration, and motor control. We won't talk about the others. As far as audio is concerned, the world's top audio and electronic equipment will have to use my technology."
All the people at the table were stunned, Liao Qingmin thought for a while, and asked confirming, "The whole world?"
Gu Song nodded: "From a small walkman, mp3, to TV stations, movies, and concerts, this set of technologies is required. Before, this set of coding algorithms was promoted by the Ministry of Information Industry to establish a new international standard. , Now, I also have a mature hardware solution. The development of the chip has been completed."
Liao Qingmin couldn't understand, but he understood the meaning of Gu Song's words.
He asked uncertainly, "What does Rover's investment in the second phase of Yongning have to do with this achievement?"
Gu Song said with a smile: "The second phase of investment is to make the world's best mp3 production line, and naturally we have to wait for this result."
"What about the expected output value?" Liao Qingmin asked.
Expected output value?
Gu Song thought of iPod.
This is a product that saved Apple's life.
When it was first released in 2001, because it was not compatible with Windows, this product sold less than 300,000 units until the first half of 2002.
Until October 2003, after itunes supported windows, the iPod began to develop explosively.
By June 2003, the cumulative sales of iPods had reached 1 million units, and by the end of 2003, the number had exceeded 10 million units.
In 2005, there were 22 million units, and in 2007, it exceeded 100 million units.
The total sales of this series exceeded 400 million units.
What is the concept of 400 million units? Hundreds of billions of dollars in total sales.
supported the company to successfully enter the era of smartphones and laid the foundation for its global dominance.
Gu Song didn't know what would happen on the way to compete with this rival in the market, he could only say: "In this direction, I can only say that it is a market of tens of billions of dollars every year. Now, I have the world's leading core technology, but How far it will go in the end, I don't know."
Liao Qingmin has an intuitive feeling.
"Ten billion?"
Gu Song nodded, raised his glass and said, "The preparations for investment have already been made, but without the chip, everything is in vain. Now we can start working overtime, and I will try to take out samples around the New Year."
Liao Qingmin looked around for a week: "We will fully support what Yongning needs to coordinate!"
After drinking the wine, Gu Song naturally knew in his heart that it would be difficult to kill the iPod from now on.
But it doesn’t matter, the domestic market has domestic advantages.
Music copyright is a shortcoming in China, and it is also an opportunity for him.
If there is a breakthrough in flash memory technology, the most advanced flash memory plus the most advanced audio decoding chip will have a place for itself.
As for the global market strategy, it doesn’t matter, and the time is not so urgent.
ipod also had to wait until 2004 and 05 before it started to show its power!
When the time comes, the roads that I have planned should converge on the node of the first year of the mobile Internet.
Now, before October 2003, I want to win the iPod Banzi. Before the advent of the iPhone, we must be half a step faster!
A shot without gunpowder sounded quietly in Yongning!
…
On the other end, Liu Hanhao couldn't help working overtime because the project reached a critical time, and finally the result came out.
On this side, Ni Guangbei and Lin Yaodong were made to die by Gu Song's idea.
"On the Possibility of Using TSV Technology in Memory Chip Packaging Process".
Gu Songzong said clearly: "If TSV technology can be used in the packaging process of memory chips, it will bring a qualitative breakthrough to the field of memory chips. We only need to complete this set of processes under the process technology we can master first. The possibility can be verified. Under the more advanced process technology, it is nothing more than the improvement and breakthrough of the specific process.”
The implication is that even if the process level below 100 nanometers is not reached, can this process be verified first with a one-micron level process?
Gu Song summarized the information collected by himself and Lin Yaodong in this material, and extracted this plan from some of the ideas.
Moreover, he also gave some specific points that need to be broken.
What Ni Guangbei is itching for is that indeed, if you follow the explanation of Zongzhao, as long as there are solutions to these specific points, you can lead to the final outcome: not limited by the process technology, overtaking in corners , can prepare memory chips with leading capacity.
As for the algorithm requirements due to the three-dimensional structure, it happened that some of the algorithm crystallization provided the basis for the previous research on the U disk control chip, and some of the ideas were the same.
The reason why the U-disk control chip of the Flint Research Institute can reach the world-class level is because some of the algorithm ideas are different from the conventional ideas in the past.
Lin Yaodong was broadened by this bold idea.
Before , he only thought about how to improve the logical structure of the memory chip and increase the possibility of the memory chip.
Unexpectedly, Gu Song bypassed this core point and turned to the packaging process.
He did not understand the specific packaging process, but this idea reminded him, is it possible for the structure of the memory chip to evolve from 2D to 3D?
It makes no sense that the storage unit can only be a two-dimensional structure, right?
I had a wedding today, and it's only the third update. Ask for a ticket! Thank you for your monthly pass! !
