Because Huawei's previous high-end Kirin series of chips were basically manufactured by Samsung Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., it is considered a major customer of the other party. Naturally, there will be no delay in the manufacturing, packaging and testing of Tamron chips.

Moreover, this time it is an order of up to 50 million pieces.

So after the wafer factory got the physical layout of the Tamron chip, it immediately started the normal chip manufacturing process.

It is also worth mentioning that due to the powerful functions of Yinglong chip design software, which ensures the maturity and stability of the chip, the number of final trial production tape-outs is not very large.

After testing, it is determined that the integrated circuit design is successful and does not require optimization, and then a large number of production packaging tests are carried out directly.

to this end.

The fab also deliberately coordinated its orders to release more production capacity to produce Tamron chips in order to complete the 50 million chips within the contracted time.

The reason why Ren Yuanwei decided to produce so many Tamron chips in the first batch was not only because he was confident about his own chips, but more importantly, he needed to prepare in advance. After all, once Tamron chips enter the market, they will shake the long-standing position of overseas chip companies. If the guarantee is not complete, you will face the same dilemma as Zhongxing.

After experiencing the development of domestic chip design software, Ren Yuanwei is more confident in the development of high-end lithography machines.

There are companies like Future Technology.

With its leading technology in the field of artificial intelligence.

Maybe three to five years.

It is even possible that domestic lithography machines will develop from producing 28-nanometer chips to 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer chips in two years, completely entering the field of high-end lithography machines.

Therefore, Huawei must ensure a stable supply of its own high-end chips during this period of time.

As time passed, when the Tenglong chips that had completed production, packaging and testing were shipped back by Warwick on a chartered flight, the company's senior management also began to plan a chip launch conference.

As the country's first high-end mobile phone chip developed using domestic chip design software, Tamron is destined to attract the attention of all parties at home and abroad. It represents a very memorable event.

In addition, they will be the second company in the world to release 5G chips.

This alone has killed other domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

Shenzhen.

The Tamron chip launch conference in Warwick's headquarters building.

Although the press conference has not yet begun, the venue is already full of major news media, including reporters from the main station.

It is conceivable that tomorrow this matter will definitely spread on the Internet in various circles at an explosive speed.

This is enough to prove the importance Warwick attaches to this time.

"Lao Peng, it's up to you to host this press conference."

"Don't worry, Director Ren." Peng Xiangqian, who was wearing a light blue suit in the backstage lounge, immediately and confidently assured Ren Yuanwei's explanation: "Soon our Tamron chips will be resounding throughout the industry."

Not long after.

When the press conference officially begins.

I saw Peng Qianqian walking to the stage confidently, and a line of words was displayed on the large rectangular screen behind him.

Tamron 910, the most powerful 5G mobile phone chip, was officially launched.

"Everyone is welcome to attend this conference. This time we at Warwick sincerely launch the Tamron 910, the first 5G high-end mobile phone chip. It is also the first chip designed using domestic EDA."

For the news media present, they are all very aware of Warwick's attention. The launch of its own 5G chip this time will definitely arouse a lot of enthusiasm.

So I basically arrive at the venue early.

Before the press conference even started, I was already thinking about the title and content of the news in my mind.

But to their surprise, they discovered something else.

As a journalist, the most important thing is to be able to keenly capture the key information in a certain paragraph or event.

Domestic EDA software.

Although the chips released by Warwick in the past were among the best in the world, they could only use the design software of the three major overseas companies.

Nowadays, the new chips are actually designed using domestic EDA, which means that the field of chip design software has been domesticated, and the functions seem to be no worse than overseas ones.

This news hot spot is much more interesting than the chip itself.

So when Peng Xiangqian introduced the situation of Tamron chips in detail according to the press conference process, the major media below couldn't help but get excited.

They whispered to each other about the work.

"Try to direct the topic to chip design software later and learn more about the situation."

"This is definitely a front-page headline, and our Beijing News must publish it first."

“The interview has to be done after the press conference.”

"This trip is really worth it."

…

Peng Xiangqian naturally ignored the thoughts of these journalists. Finally, when the one-and-a-half-hour press conference was over, he was completely relieved.

In addition to introducing the powerful capabilities and effects of Tamron chips, this press conference also made it clear that 5G flagship phones equipped with Tamron chips will be launched soon, and you can make an appointment to buy them and experience them first.

It's like throwing a gimmick in advance.

certainly.

Peng Xiangxiang was also besieged by the media for interviews, and all the inquiries pointed to domestic chip design software.

Although Peng Xiangqian was more inclined to talk more about Tamron chips, he couldn't resist the enthusiastic questioning of everyone, so he revealed that the domestic chip design software is called Yinglong EDA, and made it clear that it was not developed by Warwick.

But this information alone made the news media present so excited that they rushed to produce a press release almost the same day after leaving the press conference.

When the news about Tamron chips and domestic chip design software was first released on the official accounts of major platform websites, it soon showed a trend that swept the entire domestic network.

In addition, the main station's financial and other channels also conducted special reports on this, and its popularity quickly increased.

Under relevant articles and videos, you can see netizens talking about this matter everywhere.

But what everyone is most concerned about is who is the development company of this Yinglong EDA?

"It's such a surprise. I didn't expect that we have developed domestic chip design software, and no news has leaked out before."

"The confidentiality work was done very well."

"Who knows which company developed this Yinglong EDA? It's really awesome."

"Judging from the official data provided by Tamron Chip, it should be able to reach the ranks of the world's top chips. This shows that the functions of the design software are not worse than overseas, but the specific situation still has to wait for actual measurement data."

"I originally planned to buy Pingguo, but now I think I can wait for this Tamron chip."

"Anyway, I'm not very optimistic. Overseas chip design software has been developed for so many years. Even if we develop it, it will definitely be incomparable in many functions."

"Is there a possibility that this chip design software was actually developed by Warwick, and he just didn't tell it on purpose?"

…

at the same time.

Xinyue City.

In the office of the president of Future Technology Company.

Xu Lei, who watched the replay of the Warwick press conference the next day, made the decision to officially launch Dragon EDA in response to the heated discussion online.
