The sky above Xiangjiang International Airport is covered with dark clouds.

The reason why Gao Yuanyuan and Xu Xin were asked to meet Fang Yihua was because what Lu Fei wanted to see was ten or a hundred times more important than Fang Yihua.

The drizzle fell on the umbrella. Lu Fei was standing on the apron when he saw Su Zifeng coming down from the boarding elevator and immediately went to greet her.

The world's richest man personally picked him up at the airport. Su Zifeng was flattered for a moment and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Lu, you are probably the most expensive airport waiter in history."

"That's right. It's an honor for me to be able to protect a talented person like you from the wind and rain!" Lu Fei said seriously.

Su Zifeng shook her head and laughed, "Mr. Lu, I'll do it myself. No matter what, you are my boss."

"Today is Sunday, not a working day, and there are no subordinates or superiors." Lu Fei raised the corner of his mouth, "Haha, by the way, wasn't it said that Jim Keller is coming too? Why don't you see anyone else?"

"Oh, the research and development of ZEN (Zen) processor encountered some unexpected situations. Jim canceled the trip temporarily. He asked me to apologize to you." Su Zifeng replied.

"It doesn't matter, it's just such a pity."

There was regret in Lu Fei's tone.

Jim Keller is the "Silicon Immortal". In his previous life, he was also a major contributor to Apple's A4 and A5 processors. Now, he is one of the core leaders of Logic's Zulong series and Zen architecture.

"Jim also feels very sorry. He originally wanted to tell you about the situation of CPU, GPU, AI and NPU in person, but now I can only do it for him." Su Zifeng said with a smile.

"There will be opportunities in the future."

Lu Fei opened the car door, "If I don't have to talk to you later, I can be your driver for a while."

"That's the most expensive driver in the world!"

Su Zifeng felt respected and lived up to this respect.

Under her leadership, Logic's chip department cannot be said to be thriving, but at least it is advancing by leaps and bounds.

In terms of baseband chips, the Balong 2000 developed by Huawei HiSilicon has achieved new breakthroughs. It already supports three standards: WCDMA, CDMA and TD-SCDMA. Although the integration problem has not been solved, it is still plug-in like Qualcomm.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we decided to decentralize it to Shenzhou.

When the SOC that integrates CPU, GPU and baseband is completed, logic can be embedded into the flagship series and defeat Qualcomm!

In terms of servers, after absorbing Transmeta's business and team, we can compete with AMD and Intel to reduce the market share of servers. As for mid-to-high-end and cloud servers, we can only wait until the day when the Zen architecture comes out.

"Where's the GPU?"

Lu Fei asked: "How is the cooperation with NVIDIA going?"

Su Zifeng looked serious, "Mr. Lu, this is also the important thing I want to report on this trip. To be honest, the results of the joint research are much worse than we expected. The mobile phone GPU is not ideal!"

“Are Tegra chips bad?”

Lu Fei glanced out the window and saw that the rain was getting heavier.

"The actual performance is really shocking, and there are many problems such as heating, lagging, poor compatibility, poor signal, and so on."

Su Zifeng took out the data report from her bag.

"so serious?"

Lu Fei calmed down and knew that NVIDIA was cheating him, causing Xiaomi to suffer a tragedy comparable to that of the Snapdragon 888, but he really didn’t expect that NVIDIA could cheat him to this extent when making mobile phone GPUs!

Su Zifeng was very speechless. After losing to Intel and AMD, she lost to Iagation, and then she lost to a small GPU department of ATI acquired by AMD. She was ashamed!

Nvidia builds mobile phone GPU, can Huang Renxun do it?

Do you know if you don’t have the ability? Be pragmatic!

First understand the concept of Ma Liang GPU!

“…”

Lu Fei cleared his throat awkwardly: "So, 'Ma Liang' can't be used on the latest iPhone 5 for the time being, right?"

"You may still want to use the first solution and choose Iagation's PowerVRSGX543."

Su Zifeng said seriously: "Mr. Lu, I don't mean to slander. Maybe NVIDIA is not inferior to Intel and AMD on the PC side, but what I want to say is that in the field of mobile phone GPUs, NVIDIA may only be at the level of a third-rate layman."

"What do you think if we acquire ARM?"

Lu Fei looked straight at her.

Su Zifeng couldn't help being surprised, "Mr. Lu, do you want to use the ARM architecture for your own use?"

"It's just an idea. The operation is very difficult and has many difficulties, no less than buying back the Vaghlian aircraft carrier."

Lu Fei smiled and nodded.

"It's really difficult."

Su Zifeng has many concerns, not to mention whether the European Union and the United States will approve the acquisition. Although ARM and Android have mutual success, they value the company's independence. Apple also wanted to acquire it not long ago, but until now, there seems to be no progress.

"People still have to have dreams. How will you know if you don't try?" Lu Fei waved his hand, "Of course dreams are dreams, but we must also be prepared for failed acquisitions. That is self-research."

"Mr. Lu, I came here for self-study this time."

"Do you have any opinions or needs?"

"Although the mobile phone GPU we developed with Nvidia was not a success, the team has been trained and has basically mastered the ability of self-research. The biggest problem at present is the size of the team."

Su Zifeng hopes to recruit more troops.

"how do you want to do it?"

Lu Fei nodded. He wanted to not only master the graphics card and reap the dividends of the mining boom, but also develop mobile GPUs to catch up with the first echelons such as Intel and Iagation. Logic's team must not only have elite soldiers and strong generals, but also

The more the merrier.

"I have two plans for the time being."

Su Zifeng suggested that PC graphics cards can continue to be jointly developed with NVIDIA, but the Ma Liang GPU for mobile phones must be developed independently.

If we don’t have enough manpower, we need to buy more people to make up for it.

The first target is Iagation, the world's fourth largest manufacturer whose main business is GPU, with a valuation of 300 million pounds.

"What about the second one?" Lu Fei asked.

"It's the mobile GPU team originally owned by ATI, and AMD is planning to sell it out," Su Zifeng said.

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised.

It’s not that I haven’t competed with AMD about ATI before, but AMD spent huge sums of money to take it away, even taking on huge debts.

Now, facing huge debts, AMD has no choice but to package its entire business unit, including the Iageon series.

"Now we have contacts with Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Infineon." Su Zifeng said, "We are also involved."

"Qualcomm!?"

Lu Fei squinted his eyes. Could it be that Qualcomm's proud Adreno GPU is from the ATI team?

If this is true, it is equivalent to cutting off Qualcomm!

As soon as I thought about this, I was suddenly interested: "How much is the price?"

"According to AMD's current disclosure, one company has raised US$65 million. I speculate that it is likely to be Qualcomm."

Su Zifeng cast an inquiring look.

"Okay, even Qualcomm, which usually digs Soso, has taken action, so it's even less likely for me to let Qualcomm get it!"

Lu Fei slapped his thigh, "But we can't come forward directly in the name of logic. That will arouse Qualcomm's vigilance and suspicion. Let's let a third-party patent operating company fight for this team for us. I'll leave this matter to you."

Take responsibility."

"Mr. Lu is still thoughtful!"

Su Zifeng's eyes showed admiration.

Rumble, spring thunder sounded outside the car.

The rain became heavier, and a layer of white rain and mist splashed on the streets and outside the hotel, like a misty white gauze.

Raindrops like soybeans hit the window.

Wang Ben stood guard at the door of the room and saw that Lu Fei and Su Zifeng had already received orders from Microsoft and Sony from Zen architecture microprocessors to game console chip business.

"Dong dong dong~"

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.

Wang Ben opened the door, took the cart from the waiter who delivered the food, and noticed the graceful woman in the corridor out of the corner of his eye.

"I am Xu Zishan from TVB."

She came closer and said, "Master Xizhiyun asked me to come."

"wait."

Wang Ben asked his bodyguard to go in and deliver the food. He stood in front of the woman and looked her up and down. Although he didn't know her, he knew her from TVB. From the looks of it, she was probably a TVB artist.

"Chen Zhiyun, the general manager of TVB."

Xu Zishan thought he didn't know Chen Zhiyun and emphasized again.

"Do you have an appointment?"

Wang Ben closed the door and wouldn't let her get even half a step closer.

"Master Zhiyun only asked me to come and didn't tell me if I had an appointment? How about you go in and ask Mr. Lu?"

Xu Zishan smiled and said: "I'll wait here."

“…”
