Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 430 Lenovo Chips Achieve Breakthrough

This resulted in a large amount of their investment in the semiconductor industry being tied up.

Only then did they realize who had placed that short order some time ago.

Kapibala!

It's probably another one of Huang Tianya's alternate accounts. We need to find a way to solve this problem; we can't let Huang Tianya take this money so easily.

Then another piece of news stole the spotlight on the UK's trending topics that afternoon.

Lenovo's official Weibo account posted a long article at 2 PM:

#Lenovo Chip Technology's First Self-Developed Chip: Lenovo Chip K1 Successfully Taped Out! Another New Star in Domestic Chips#

The article included a close-up photo of a wafer, which specifically emphasized that it used a 22nm process, with the wafers densely packed together and gleaming with a metallic luster under the light.

Of course, there is also a picture of the packaged product below, with the words "Lenovo K1" printed on the surface.

At the same time, in order to capture more attention and help alleviate public pressure on the other side,

Following the official announcement, Yang Yuanqing also posted a Weibo message immediately:

"Today I'm excited to announce some good news: our self-developed processor, the Lenovo K1, has successfully completed tape-out. This is a mid-range processor."

Although it is a mid-range processor, its performance is among the international mainstream.

The path to chip manufacturing is not as simple as people imagine.

It took us two years and an investment of over 30 billion yuan to develop just one mid-range processor.

But I can proudly say that we have our own chips, and they are independently developed based on the ARM architecture.

This chip will first be used in Motorola's flagship models.

Looking back on the past two years of chip manufacturing, when Liu Jun first proposed the idea of ​​creating a star, I wanted to kick him to death.

At that time, I had a fixed impression in my mind that it was better to just buy a good solution than to make your own chip.

For example, Qualcomm and Transsion are both high-quality suppliers. Taking Transsion as an example, we have a lot of cooperation...

But Liu Jun's words almost made me fire him. He said, "President Liu, even you subconsciously think this way, so are we really a failure?"

Is what netizens are saying true?

Since that's the case, we should at least fight for pride, even if it's just for the steamed buns. We're not just a comprador factory; we also have our own core technologies. Otherwise, how could we have achieved our current status by simply assembling products?

Later, I realized he was right. In this new era, we should also take control of public opinion and not let those smear campaigns target us forever.

So I gritted my teeth and officially approved the 10 billion last year. Although this amount of money put a lot of pressure on the company, we still let them take the plunge, and fortunately they lived up to expectations...

Lei Jun immediately reposted Liu Yuanqing's Weibo post.

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu, on achieving such a breakthrough so quickly. It seems your company's research capabilities are indeed very strong."

Rice has also established a semiconductor lab; we can exchange ideas later.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Lei!" Liu Yuanqing quickly replied with another Weibo post.

With the two praising each other's posts, this Weibo post immediately became a trending topic.

#Lenovo K1 officially enters mass production#

#Domestic manufacturers congratulate each other#

"Holy crap, Lenovo actually made it? Didn't they say the chip team had been disbanded?"

"That's fake news spread by a competitor, just to distract us!"

"Is it possible that Lenovo deliberately released false information? After all, developing its own chips would definitely infringe on the interests of some manufacturers, and they would do so in order to sell chips... those who know, know."

"Upstairs, which one are you talking about?"

"I can't say, otherwise they will definitely sue us for malicious comments and say we defamed them."

By the way, just a heads-up, Lenovo uses TSMC's manufacturing process, not that far ahead technology from a certain company. They're probably furious right now, aren't they?

"Hey upstairs, are you trying to stir up trouble here? Let's see when this chip can catch up with the transmitted audio!"

"Stop arguing!"

The fact that they can develop their own technology is good news. Lenovo has finally made a move after acquiring Motorola, which is a positive development.

"The domestic chip industry is becoming increasingly vibrant."

At the same time, Digital Chat Station also reposted Lenovo's Weibo post, but unlike Lei Jun's lengthy post, Digital Chat Station only posted two words: Congratulations.

"Why did the boss only post those two words?! It's a domestically produced chip, after all!"

"Zhan-ge, why does that 'Congratulations' outfit sound so sarcastic?"

"Upstairs, you and your wife haven't had sex for over a year, and she gave birth to a big, healthy boy. Do you think he's yours?"

"Exactly! Forget about slandering Lenovo, don't you think the timing is too coincidental? Transsion just officially announced the start of production of its new 14nm production line, and then Lenovo released its self-developed chip!"

"Don't spread conspiracy theories, you fans are just jealous of our chips."

After careful analysis, Lazy Sheep's assistant finally found a similarity in the chip's design.

"If it's inconvenient for Zhan-ge to say, I will say it: this K1 is too fake."

First of all, it was established last year and hadn't even filled all its positions. This year, it successfully developed its own chips. This speed is impossible in the chip industry.

There isn't enough time for sheet metal fabrication, which is why the three-stage process is used.

Furthermore, judging from the layout of this chip, it should be an early version of the Snapdragon 615. Qualcomm abandoned it halfway through development because they found that the power consumption could not be controlled.

It seems they've sold it... This isn't self-developed, it's OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)."

"Damn, if that's really the case, then Lenovo hasn't changed, and neither has Qualcomm."

"Qualcomm's scrapped project is now being developed domestically, and this is considered a breakthrough for domestic technology?"

"The research and development supposedly took two years, but the actual timeframe didn't even exceed one year?"

"The New Year's Day upstairs has already passed, how come it's not two years? [doge emoji]"

"I won't listen, I won't listen! You're slandering LX! You're questioning whether that title can only be used by a certain manufacturer!"

"The people upstairs are behaving like they've lost their wages."

The comments section was very awkward; neither Digital Chat Station nor Lenovo's official Weibo account responded.

Shen Fei also saw the Weibo post, but he didn't reply. After all, the truth is the truth, and the falsehood is the falsehood.

However, he still called Yuan Guoqing and Li Jiahui to analyze the matter.

To be honest, Lenovo's breakthrough in self-developed chips also gave Li Jiahui a big shock. After all, if there were such promising talents at home and abroad, they would have already poached them.

result……

"Mr. Chen, the netizens' guesses are correct."

This chip has parameters that are completely consistent with the early engineering samples of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 in our database.

It has an eight-core A53 processor with a clock speed of 1.5GHz, and the GPU is an Adreno 405. Even the register addresses haven't been changed.

The only difference is that the manufacturing process has changed from 28nm to 22nm.
