Chapter 16 New Ways of Competition (Ch 824304115)

The Lv1 level of integrated semiconductor circuit design is not particularly outstanding in the industry.
Now if a company wants to design a chip, it must set up a dedicated chip design department.
At the same time, Chen Tong also needs specialized talents in integrated semiconductor circuit design.
And because the overall technology level is too low, the chips that the company can currently design are only small chips.
As for the mobile processor chip of the mobile phone, the company needs higher-level technology to design it.
In order to better understand the current design level of major chip manufacturers, Chen Tong directly chose to disassemble the machine for inspection.
In order to compare the screens of various manufacturers, Chen Tong spent tens of thousands of dollars to purchase more than a dozen models from different manufacturers.
Currently, there are five main mainstream mobile processor chips used by major manufacturers, namely Gaotong Fire Dragon, MediaTek Halle, Sanxin Liehu, HiSilicon Kirin, and Fruit A series processor chips.
[Gaotong Fire Dragon 820 mobile processor chip! ]
[This is a very popular mobile processor chip with a design level of Lv5.]
Chen Tong scanned the various processor chips available one by one, and also gained a general understanding of the level of current mainstream chip design manufacturers.
First of all, the highest level is naturally the A series processor chip from Fruit, and the overall chip design level has reached Lv6.
The second is Gaotong Fire Dragon. Although the heat level of the entire chip is very serious, the design level of the chip has also reached Lv5.
As for Sanxin Fox, HiSilicon, and MediaTek, the chip design level of the three companies is currently only Lv4.
Chen Tong is quite familiar with the current chip market environment. The level of chip manufacturers demonstrated by current mobile phone chips should be at last year’s level.
The chips of various manufacturers are basically designed one to two years before their release, which means that the current strength of the manufacturers may be stronger than what we see.
However, based on the current technological level, we need to reach at least Lv4 level before we can develop and design mobile processor chips.
With the current Lv1 integrated circuit design, we can only design chips that are relatively backward for electrical appliances.
Of course, what Chen Tong lacks now is professional chip design talent. Without corresponding talent, he will not be able to use it even if he acquires the technology.
Considering that the company’s main operations are in the field of screen panels, Chen Tong thought about it and decided to upgrade the integrated semiconductor circuit design to Lv2 as much as possible!
Because as long as the technology level is raised by one level, the company can design some relatively simple chips.
Today’s companies are able to produce screen panels, but they cannot produce the chips associated with the screen panels.
If the company can design chips related to screen panels, its competitiveness will be raised to a new level.
The most common component of current screen panels is the screen driver chip, which is divided into general-purpose chips and dedicated chips.
Needless to say, general-purpose chips are widely used. Major manufacturers also purchase a large number of general-purpose chips when purchasing screens. The main use of general-purpose chips is to control screen current and color display.
The dedicated chip is a chip specially designed for the screen, which can achieve current changes and constant current conversion.
This can improve the image quality or increase the screen brightness, and control the screen power consumption as much as possible.
In addition to developing dedicated chips, the company is also able to develop touch display chips.
At present, there are very few companies in China that can independently develop and produce touch display chips.
Most companies still need to purchase touch display chips produced by foreign companies.
“We only need to upgrade the integrated semiconductor circuit design technology to Lv2 to design a specialized screen panel chip!”
Chen Tong began to make in-depth plans for the future development of his company.
Obviously, although the company is able to produce high-quality screen panels, it still lacks core competitiveness.
The screen panels produced by this company can also be produced by other companies.
The corresponding differences will become the company’s advantages and confidence in the competition.
Chen Tong’s thoughts became clearer and clearer in his mind.
As long as the company produces dedicated color screen chips and touch chips, they can be packaged together with the company’s screen panels.
By then, the screen panels supported by the chip will be even better. At the same time, the packaged one-stop service will also enable more manufacturers to save energy and time.
All of these will become a major competitive advantage for their own screen panel companies.
In order to make the company’s screen panels have certain advantages as soon as possible, Chen Tong turned his attention to the primary mall.
“Looks like we have no choice but to get started!”
Chen Tong directly locked his eyes on the “Specified Technical Random Talent Card” in the Primary Mall.
[Consume 30 million gold coins!]
[Purchase a random talent card for a specified technology!]
[Consume 40 million gold coins!]
[Purchase four books on elementary technical experience!]
Chen Tong chose to spend money to solve the problem without hesitation.
It is relatively difficult to recruit talents in integrated semiconductor circuit design, and Chen Tong also wants to try the junior mall.
In addition, Chen Tong also chose to purchase four primary experience books, intending to directly upgrade the integrated semiconductor circuit technology from Lv1 to Lv2.
Chen Tong used the professional talent card without hesitation and directly chose the integrated semiconductor circuit talent.
With the use of talent cards!
Chen Tong suddenly had an additional memory in his mind.
During this memory, Chen Tong had a very good neighbor named Big Brother.
This neighbor is five years older than Chen Tong. He is studying integrated circuits at Xidu University of Science and Technology and just graduated with a doctorate in the first half of this year.
“Fuck! This game is awesome. It can even provide talents by implanting memories!”
Feeling the unrealistic memories in his mind, Chen Tong couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
No matter how emotional we feel, we still have to continue recruiting talents, even if the memory in our mind is false.
But in the reality we live in now, these are really happening.
So Chen Tong picked up the phone without hesitation, entered the phone number he remembered, and called.
Three days passed quickly.
On the morning of the third day, Chen Tong finally met his neighbor at the company’s gate.
[NPC: Li Zhongyu]
[Level: S-level integrated semiconductor circuit design talent]
[Attribute: Race against time. When participating in chip design, the design value obtained will be increased by 10%!]
[Cost: Approximately 200,000 gold coins/month]
Looking at the character introduction panel in front of him, Chen Tong couldn’t help but show a look of joy on his face.
Since the other party was a doctoral student who had just graduated, his level was similar to what he had imagined.
In Chen Tong’s opinion, the opponent’s level was probably S or A.
Fortunately, the opponent is an S-level talent and is equipped with a special attribute.
Of course, Chen Tong not only values ​​the other party’s personal ability, but also the network of relationships behind the other party.
