Domestic car manufacturing is weak, what does it have to do with our land tanks?

Seeing this kind of news,

Lu Yan knew that Musk would definitely get restless.

In fact, the competitive relationship between Hongqi and Tesla is secondary in terms of sales volume.

It is mainly a game at the level of intelligent driving.

Tesla must now prove their king status in the field of autonomous driving in order to increase their stock price and market value.

In this regard,

Lu Yan was not panicked at all.

Because their 1-nanometer chip inside Hongqi will be developed and put into use soon.

It’s just that Tesla is now using chips from Nvidia and Qualcomm, which makes him feel unhappy.

“Damn it, Nvidia won’t resell the batch of chips that breached the contract to Tesla, right? ?”

In order to save costs, Tesla used less than the best chips before.

But now, in order to surpass Hongqi, it can be said that it has invested a lot of money.

It has actually piled up the computing power to the same level as Hongqi in the past, but the appearance of this batch of chips is a bit coincidental.

When Lu Yan thought of the batch of chips that were intercepted by his company, he felt a little uncomfortable.

“Boss, I think this is the case. Nvidia and Qualcomm are both damn companies.……”

Wang Youwei gritted his teeth and cursed.

Hongqi’s chip supply was unilaterally breached, and the share of chips that were originally promised to be delivered was reduced.

These two companies have been abusing their market dominance for a long time. They were once fined several times by the National Development and Reform Commission for”malicious market monopoly”, each time for more than 10 billion yuan, but it is ultimately a temporary solution. As long as there is no breakthrough in the chip market, they will not stop making trouble.

“Don’t worry, our internal chips will be available soon. If they break our agreement, they will be in big trouble.”

Lu Yan said calmly.

As long as the internal chips of Hongqi are available, they will not be manipulated by others. Instead, they can easily manipulate others.

“So… the two chip companies unilaterally broke the contract and didn’t even pay the full penalty. You go find some of the best lawyers to file a breach of contract lawsuit for us, Hongqi, and sue them first.”

“After this is over, our company will set up a separate 27th Legal Department to be responsible for such matters.”

Lu Yan can’t spare his time for the time being, but he can ask his subordinates to find something for the two companies.

The total account can be settled later, and some interest can be collected first. As for the unilateral breach of the contract in the last quarter, it will definitely win as long as it goes to court.

In China, almost no company dares to do this.

Even Hua Wei was not so tough at the beginning.

Because once a lawsuit is filed, it is equivalent to completely tearing the face with the chip manufacturers.

Those mobile phone manufacturers in the past, even if they were bullied by Qualcomm, could only swallow their anger and suffer losses.

Because in the end they still have to rely on others and rely on the latest chips.

Otherwise, once the cooperation is severed, even mobile phones and tablets cannot be manufactured.

The current Hongqi is not afraid of this consequence at all

…………

【Hongqi simultaneously filed commercial lawsuits against two chip giants, accusing Qualcomm and Nvidia of unilateral breach of contract. This news was even more explosive than the”Tengxun sued Lao Gan Ma” incident!

Shocking!!

The outside world was still guessing how Hongqi was doing in the past half month.

Whether there was a way to solve the dilemma.

But now, everyone was stunned by the move!

Everyone was a little stunned!!

“Damn, the red flag is moving!!”

“Oh my god… Hongqi actually sued both chip giants! This is too bold and too tough!!”

“Mr. Lu is awesome! A real man is tough!!”

“After a careful look, I found that because of the sanctions imposed by the United States, Qualcomm and Nvidia not only unilaterally terminated the contract, but also did not give Hongqi the last batch of chips in the order from last quarter. They also only unilaterally compensated Hongqi with a small amount of money, which was not even one twentieth of the penalty for breach of contract. This is really too much!!”

“Oh my god, wouldn’t this offend both Qualcomm and Nvidia at once?”

“If the sanctions are lifted later, it will be difficult to re-establish cooperation. Hongqi is a bit impulsive.”

……

Hot search here.

There are many people discussing.

Some people immediately thought of the consequences of offending Qualcomm and Nvidia.

Those mobile phone manufacturers who offended Qualcomm before had a miserable time. It is said that they took a lot of money and begged for mercy to regain the cooperation relationship.

Some netizens could not stand the comments.

“It’s numb, you are all spineless. People have already sanctioned you, but they just broke the contract and didn’t treat you as human beings. Yet you are still afraid of this and that. If it were me, I would say you should punish them hard!”

“That’s not what I meant. I’ve done it and I’m relieved. What’s next? Hongqi still has no chips. I’m afraid that they will stop production soon. It will be really miserable then.”

“Look at what you said? You can have chips without doing anything? Chinese people should have the backbone of Hongqi”

“Idiot, I think you are as stupid as Hongqi, a brainless thing!”

“Fuck you, you’re a piece of shit……”

……

For a while, the comment section was noisy again.

Whenever it comes to such a large-scale public opinion, the comment section is very chaotic.

There are also many manufacturers watching the fun.

Many cooperating manufacturers are worried about Hongqi.

And those hostile and competitive car companies are now happy to see it.

Tesla headquarters.

Back to the Chinese headquarters, Musk’s mood is completely different from before.

It can be said that it is wonderful.

Because he has seen that Hongqi, a company, is about to decline in the automobile market.

“Haha, this guy is really courting his own death. Even if he wins the lawsuit, he will offend Qualcomm and Nvidia.……”

Seeing this news,

Musk was completely delighted.

He thought that Hongqi must be in chaos now.

Because of the lack of chips, they fell into panic and infighting, so they did such irrational behavior.

This is a great opportunity for them, Tesla, to return to the top of new energy vehicles.

Thinking of this, a smile of determination appeared on his face.

“Notice that this press conference must be well promoted and all the media that should be invited should be invited.��…”

Musk called his assistant.

Normally, he would only hold such a grand press conference at Tesla’s headquarters in Texas, but now, he seems to be treating China as the main battlefield.

All this is forced by Hongqi.

…………

Hongqi headquarters.

Lu Yan didn’t realize that so many people were still thinking about him.

After more than half a month of emergency research and development, top academicians and experts from the Longke Institute joined the camp.

In the current closed chip laboratory.

The number of people has expanded to several times more than before.

A group of academicians and experts in white coats and gray hair.

The faces that were originally calm were full of excitement and nervousness.

After this period of day and night research and development and improvement.

The core intelligent driving chip dedicated to Hongqi has finally come to the ground.

The accuracy has reached a true 1 nanometer.

It has more than 80 billion transistors…

In the EUV engraving machine production chain, a newly designed chip is undergoing light source etching and chemical plating…

Soon. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

A small and brand new chip with Hongqi’s internal code engraved on the surface appeared in front of everyone.

“Test the chip integrity, power consumption, and actual computing power……”

Lu Yan spoke.

The total area of this chip is not large, but the number of transistors is several times more than the Nvidia chips that Hongqi purchased before.

In addition, it is produced with 1 nanometer precision for the first time, and the design and floating-point computing power have been improved even more. In theory, it should surpass the chips on the market.

Next, it depends on the verification of power consumption and actual computing power performance.

At present, in-vehicle intelligent driving chips are essentially a kind of”AI computing chip.”

The computing power of 1TOPS refers to the chip’s AI computing capabilities, which means that the processor can perform one trillion operations per second and execute (10^12) operations.

Nvidia’s top-level chips used to require four chips to achieve an ai computing power of 1000tops.

In total, a single chip of the same volume has only 256tops of computing power.[]

A developer nodded.

The chip was mounted on an external test base and a dedicated heat sink was applied.

Soon, a string of codes lit up on the screen, indicating that the first activation was running normally.

The developer continued to input the test program, turning on the full power consumption of the chip, and letting it run AI calculations at full capacity, and then the computing power was scored through background evaluation. In just a blink of an eye, lines of code flew across the screen!

The speed was so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye.

This meant that the chip’s computing speed had reached its limit!!

The evaluation results came out!

The developer said in shock:

“The power consumption of a single chip is 400w…the AI computing power reaches 2000TOPS!!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole closed laboratory was filled with gasps!!

“”Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Although everyone had expected it, they were still shocked by the power of the 1-nanometer chip!

The computing power of the 1-nanometer intelligent driving chip is eight times higher than that of the 7-nanometer Nvidia chip!

It has formed a dimensionality reduction attack!

You know, in the field of AI computing, no one will complain about the computing power.

The higher the computing power, the faster the background neural network can distinguish pixels for the tasks performed. For some large pixel files, there is no need to unpack and compress them, which brings countless conveniences…

This means that if Hongqi’s models are equipped with this new AI chip, the future upper limit and actual L3 autonomous driving performance will be better, with more possibilities!!

“Such high computing power?”

Lu Yan was also slightly surprised.

In this way, wouldn’t one chip be stronger than the previous four?

The computing power has doubled.

The key is that after owning the wafer factory and the lithography machine, the cost of producing chips for Hongqi is also low.

Before, Nvidia and Qualcomm sold a chip to Hongqi for six or seven hundred US dollars.

If the price of the board is added, it will be even more expensive.

But they can’t not buy it.

The technology and related systems are all provided by them.

The neck is strangled.

It’s different now.

Lu Yan made a rough estimate in his heart.

If it is calculated based on the production of 10,000 chips in one go.

The cost of a single chip can be spread to about one hundred yuan.

It is said that the cost of producing a 4-meter chip internally by TSMC is as high as two hundred yuan.

Calculated in this way,

Hongqi is afraid that it has become the world’s lowest cost and most accurate chip foundry.

“Mr. Lu, look at the naming of this chip.……”

Over here.

An old man from the Longke Institute spoke.

His eyes were shining with excitement!!

Once this chip comes out, China’s decades-long history of chip sanctions and being strangled will probably come to an end.

Lu Yan nodded and said with some emotion:

“In my opinion, let’s call it Hongqi S1 chip……”

We won’t use a name like Loongson.

Lu Yan thought about it and decided to stick with this simpler name.

First, it follows the name of their car company.

Second, the name”Hongqi” also has a different meaning.

“Good! Hongqi S1……！！”

“This is a good name!!”

The developers present, as well as the gray-haired academicians, looked at each other.

They repeated the name twice.

Their eyes were all shining!!

Lu Yan continued:

“We have low costs. I think we can install two Hongqi S1 chips in new Hongqi cars. By then, the power consumption will be within a controllable range, and the computing power will be multiplied several times.……”

The power consumption of four NVIDIA orin chips before has reached 1000W, while the power consumption of their two”Hongqi S1″ chips is only 800W, and the overall heat dissipation pressure is lower.

Not only that.

The computing power has quadrupled!!

A full 4000tops computing power!!!

It’s scary to tell people about it!!

“In addition, I don’t think the car computer chip needs to be developed separately. With such abundant computing power, the Hongqi S1 can be directly called for calculation, so that the internal communication of the system can achieve zero delay.……”

On the car side, the”car operation display chip” and the”AI smart driving computing chip” were originally separate.

They are responsible for the car operation display and the operation of the background smart driving system respectively.

Hongqi’s previous car chip used Qualcomm 8155, and the smart driving chip was purchased from NVIDIA.

But this”Hongqi S1″ chip was designed at the beginning.

This is why it also inherits multi-core CPU and GPU units internally, and also has a dedicated internal large cache, which can perform conventional CPU and GPU work even if it is moved to tablets and mobile phones.

So now Hongqi does not need to develop a separate car chip at all.

Just call the computing power of”Hongqi S1″ as a whole.

Now Lu Yan has decided to produce a batch of”Hongqi S1″ chips as inventory.

It just so happens that their internal chip inventory of Hongqi has been consumed.

It’s time to update the inventory..
