“The quad-core A57 is not enough, it’s the quad-core A57+quad-core A53!”

Lin Chao remembered a piece of top-secret information he accidentally saw in front of the crusher.

It was the R&D architecture of Kunpeng 906, but it was still called 900S at that time.

At Xingyi Semiconductor, a top student like Lin Chao is just a sideline worker and cannot join the core R&D team at all.

His annual salary is only 100,000 yuan, which is three-quarters of that of core R&D staff.

It stands to reason that Lin Chao does not have access to the core research and development information of Kunpeng 906.

But one time, when he was shredding documents, a core R&D staff member was in a hurry for a meeting, so he handed him a piece of information to shred together, and he took the opportunity to see it.

"Eight-core architecture!" Professor Yang's eyebrows arched with laughter!

It’s here, it’s finally here!

My son's life was saved, and so was my future!

He continued decisively: "4-core A57 plus 4-core A53, eight-core, sixty-four-bit large and small core architecture?"

Lin Chao nodded: "Yes, for daily light applications, four A53 small cores are enough. When playing games and decoding 4K videos, four A57 large cores are needed."

"The eight cores, like the Samsung 4412, can only be turned on in turn? Dual quad-core?" Professor Yang continued to ask.

"How is it possible?" Lin Chao retorted decisively: "How can we, Xingyi Technology, make Samsung's retarded dual-quad core? We can't afford to lose that person!"

"On the contrary, our eight-core can fully operate all eight cores! In extreme conditions, Kunpeng 906 can fully operate all eight cores!"

"Awesome, really awesome." Professor Yang was in a good mood: "Such a terrifying configuration, can't Xingyi Technology's 40 nanometers handle it?"

Lin Chao nodded: "Of course I can't help it, we need to use 28 nanometer technology!"

“Can Xingyi Technology develop a 28nm process?”

Professor Yang is a little curious. He knows that the more information he can extract, the greater his value will be, the safer his son's life will be, and the better his future will be!

Lin Chao shook his head: "I don't know about the Xingyi wafer fab. It is said that the 28nm process is under development, but I don't know if it can be launched in the second half of next year. If 28nm is successfully mass-produced, it will be launched next year."

Kunpeng 906 will be self-produced in half a year. But there is a high probability that the 28nm process will be difficult to produce, so it will be manufactured by TSMC. We have a lot of cooperation with TSMC."

Professor Yang nodded, not doubting Lin Chao's words at all.

He is also an industry insider and naturally knows that everything Lin Chao says is reasonable.

Whether it is the progress of the 28nm process or the large and small core architecture, it is very reasonable.

The smile on his face became even brighter, and he said excitedly: "What about the main frequency?"

"Where's the GPU?"

Lin Chao suddenly stopped and looked at Professor Yang seriously: "Teacher...why are you suddenly interested in these today?"

I even thought to myself, 'Teacher is not normal today. Could he be here to steal information?'

'By the way, the teacher's son is studying in the United States, at MIT...'

'I can't even get into MIT. A loser like Yang Xingrui, who only got the 211 bachelor's degree because of his imperial household registration, can he get into MIT for a master's degree? Unless his father donated a building to Massachusetts!'

'But the teacher definitely doesn't have the financial resources, so there is only one possibility...'

'Furthermore, the teacher also studied abroad in the United States. He has no background, is not second-generation, and is not very outstanding in scientific research. However, his development is surprisingly good, and even some people with connections can't do it with him.'

‘I am so interested in Xingyi Technology’s Kunpeng 906 chip again today!’

'Something is wrong, something is completely wrong!'

‘Is it possible that the teacher is really funded by the American semiconductor giant...’

"I..." Professor Yang was speechless for a moment, and was a little embarrassed by Lin Chao's gaze.

'Is it possible that he saw my intention?'

'This guy is very smart. I'm worried about my son, and I asked a little eagerly, fearing that he might really see through it.'

Their eyes met, neither of them exposed each other, but they both understood what the other was thinking.

Professor Yang pondered for a while, his voice became much softer:

"Xiaochao, you are my most promising student and also my favorite student. That means I don't have a daughter, otherwise I will make you my son-in-law!"

"Thank you, teacher, for your love." Lin Chao said calmly, but there was not much movement in his eyes.

He is no longer the student who needs to be cautious and lick Yang Zongzhou in a 360-degree spiral.

On the contrary, Yang Zongzhou would ask for help from him.

Naturally, I won't be fooled by a few words.

Yang Zongzhou sighed in his heart, took out a card from his pocket, and pushed it in front of Lin Chao:

"Xiaochao, the teacher doesn't want you to leave the Imperial Capital and buy a house in Tianjin City."

"There are 200,000 yuan here. Add your savings, ask your parents for a little more, or borrow some. If you collect 500,000 to 600,000 yuan for the down payment, you can buy a house in the imperial capital."

"This way you don't have to go back to Jin City!"

Lin Chao was stunned and felt that the bank card was shining with bright light. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

That’s 200,000!

He earns an annual salary of 100,000 yuan a year. After excluding all expenses and frugally, he can only save 30,000 yuan.

200,000, he has to save it for 7 years!

Professor Yang is in a good mood, decisive and good at tempting:

"You said that buying a house in Tianjin City is easy for you alone. You can commute six or seven hours a day and run in both directions. But where is your girlfriend Xiao Min?"

"Xiao Min also works in the Imperial Capital, right? Can she endure a six- or seven-hour commute, running in both directions?"

"Of course, you can rent a house in the imperial capital, but what will you do if you have children?"

"Renting a house with you?"

"The rent in the imperial capital is not cheap."

"What should I do if my children go to school in the future?"

"You have to consider all of this."

"More importantly, you have to buy a house to get married. Are you willing to buy a house in Tianjin City, Xiao Min?"

"I remember that Xiao Min also graduated from a prestigious school, has a good job, and is pretty. To put it bluntly, if she doesn't want to go to Tianjin with you, it won't be difficult to find someone with a house in the imperial capital."

"I..." Lin Chao looked extremely sad.

But I understand that although what Professor Yang said is cruel, it is true.

If your girlfriend is just pretty and has no other merits, it will be difficult to find someone from the imperial capital who owns a house.

But the problem is that her partner also has a 985 bachelor's degree, a decent job in a state-owned enterprise, and good looks. She is an only daughter in a second-tier city, and her parents both work and there is no pressure to support her in retirement.

After leaving him, it is really not that difficult to find someone who has a house in the Imperial Capital, or someone who can buy a house in the Imperial Capital.

I really may not be willing to follow him to Tianjin!

There is a high probability that they will break up by then!

At his age, he has already understood that love is love, marriage is marriage, and the two are completely different.

Professor Yang changed the topic: "But with this money and your imperial household registration, you can take advantage of the fact that the current housing prices are not out of reach, collect a down payment, and buy a house in the imperial capital."

"Whether it's 50 square meters in the core area or 80 square meters in the suburbs, at least it's a house in the imperial capital."

"You and Xiao Min don't have to break up because of the problem of buying a house in Tianjin and running around."

"On the contrary, I will soon be able to drink your wedding wine!"

"Teacher, I..." Lin Chao didn't know what to say.

"Okay, let's not see each other anymore. Once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. This money is my support for you. Take it and you don't have to pay it back." Professor Yang said with a smile.

"No need to pay it back!"

Lin Chao was completely moved, and his last worries were defeated. He looked around and immediately put away the card: "Thank you, teacher."

"Little things!" Professor Yang waved his hand, said nothing more, and just calmly picked up the wine glass.

Lin Chao understood, had a drink with Professor Yang, recalled the content of the information, and whispered:

"One time before, when I was shredding documents, the R&D department was in a hurry for a meeting, and a R&D engineer asked me to help shred the data in his hand. It was the data of Kunpeng 906!"

"At that time, it was still called Kunpeng 900S, but later it was renamed Kunpeng 906, which uses quad-core A57 plus quad-core A53."

"The main frequency of the four A57 large cores is 2.1G Hz, and the four A53 small cores also reach 1.7G Hz."

Professor Yang nodded: "The architecture of A57 plus A53 is powerful enough, and the four large cores can reach 2.1G Hz. It's amazing, it's amazing! I can only say it's powerful, too powerful."

"Yes, once Kunpeng 906 is released in the second half of next year, it will definitely be the best product."

"What about the GPU?" Professor Yang continued to ask.

Lin Chao recalled the document: "The GPU uses mali-T760 MP8! Eight-core GPU!"
