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

Chapter 543: How to Use the NPU, Learning from Huang

Seeing Shen Fei deep in thought, Li Jiahui walked up to him with a mysterious expression and whispered:

"Those parameters are just the basics; the most important thing is that it supports one-sided image recognition and semantic understanding..."

Furthermore, we've implemented specialized AI adaptations, keeping latency down to the millimeter level, which can easily handle high-frequency fluctuations in daily use.

Unless one suddenly becomes interested, one will not immediately pick up the report, scan the rows of measured data, and examine it carefully for a while.

NPU (Neural Processing Unit)

In my previous life, I observed that the concept of AI wouldn't be widely discussed in the industry for another two years, and Apple's A-series products were only just beginning...

So it was mostly just empty promises, a way to scam investors out of their money; it was like feeling your way across a river by touching the stones.

But actually, that road wasn't wrong.

Because in just a few years, unilateral pressure will become a core competitive advantage for smartphones, smart wearables, and the entire Internet of Things ecosystem.

By developing a mature NPU ahead of schedule, we are essentially gaining a significant head start in the next generation of chip development.

At the same time, it has once again gained a voice in the industry ahead of schedule.

"What's the yield rate like?"

"Currently, the product yield is stable at over 92%, and we are currently using our 14nm production line."

If higher performance is required, 10nm can also be used…

Li Jiahui is quite confident in his design. Sister Li, this project really angered everyone last time, and this time everyone is holding back their energy.

"Well... right now it's just a standalone NPU chip. Should we try using it in AI computing servers?"

"No need." Shen Fei shook his head directly, as he still had a short-term plan for the NPU.

"Currently, it's directly integrated into the Taishan 9 series flagship SoC. As for the AI ​​computing server, we'll set up a project for you later."

"Boss, the 930 has already been finalized. If we make urgent modifications now... wouldn't that be a bit too hasty?"

After all, in our project plan, the NPU 2.0 will only be added to the Taishan 940.

Hearing Li Jiahui say this, Shen Fei realized he had misunderstood...

"The plan can be changed."

"However, I didn't ask you to install this directly on the Taishan 930, as that would affect our subsequent planning."

So what I mean is...

The next product will be added as an add-on first, then integrated... Should we proceed step by step?

Upon hearing his boss's perfect plan to fleece the people, Li Jiahui gave him a thumbs up.

But he also knew that once the news about the gate machine was released, the industry would begin a new round of reshuffling.

TSMC and SanSang certainly won't sit idly by; they'll be able to move on to the 14nm node.

The battleground for high-end chips will open up further; we can't wait any longer.

"Mr. Shen, I understand."

It's a pity we can't use the second generation of Guangyun, but don't worry, we will continue to work hard.

We'll tweak the CPU and GPU of the 930 again, and integrate this NPU as well. It should take about three months.

If possible, the Transsion S6 would be useful.

However, Shen Fei shook his head: "S6 is unnecessary... S6 can be solved with an external cheat solution."

Li Jiahui was confused again, after all, he also looked down on Shen Fei's plan.

But it's fine if they don't understand. As long as they do these technologies well, that's fine. It's up to them how to use Lu Weibin and Chen Hai's methods.

Moreover, he believed that his boss wouldn't do anything foolish!

"Okay, I'll go back and adjust the project schedule right away."

In fact, Li Jiahui was completely clean, but at this moment Shen Fei nodded, reached into the drawer of his desk, and took out a plan that had been prepared in advance.

"This is the future iteration roadmap for NPU. Take it back with you; I believe it will be helpful to your project."

Li Jiahui became excited instantly, after all, he hadn't received guidance from President Shen for a long time, and now it had finally come.

He excitedly opened the document, glanced at it briefly, and immediately felt a surge of excitement. He quickly hid it in his pocket, as if afraid someone would snatch it away.

"Inside our Transsion Building, Professor Li, are you worried about someone stealing your things?"

Li Jiahui shook his head instantly, then nodded.

"I'm not afraid of others taking it from me, I'm afraid of others taking sides and saying, 'Boss, you can rest assured that you're guiding us but not them...'"

After saying this, Li Jiahui and Shen Fei both laughed at the same time.

Li Jiahui was secretly delighted, after all, this contained the technical specifications for the second and third generations.

For example, the second-generation computing power is tripled, supporting the operation of large models with hundreds of billions of parameters on the edge.

The third generation goes a step further, integrating multimodal sensing capabilities and reducing power consumption by another 40%.

Each of his technological approaches could have shocked the entire industry, but now all of these things belong to him... to him.

"By the way, boss... I've noticed you've been quite busy lately. When was this finished?"

Li Jiahui was already feeling quite excited; he had already figured out how to develop these two technological routes.

So he understood that his boss wanted him, like Leather Jacket Huang, to keep the technology hidden for several generations, so that if others got it, they could immediately snipe it.

"I already had an idea, but I didn't want to give it to you, after all... the last project was too perfunctory."

"Boss, I admit that this was indeed due to my mismanagement."

As our numbers have grown, some of our staff have indeed become arrogant. I suggest we take action on a large scale.

Shen Fei nodded; an internal cleanup was indeed necessary.

After all, some people don't even know their own surname anymore.

After seeing that the approval had been granted, Li Jiahui took out the proposal again, his eyes practically sparkling with excitement, his delight impossible to hide.

After all, for technical talents like them, nothing is more attractive than this technical path.

"Mr. Shen, you're amazing!"

Seeing Li Jiahui acting like a child, Chen Fei nodded in satisfaction.

Not only did he spend a lot of money to redeem an NPU upgrade plan from the system.

This damn system has been upgraded again, and it's introduced a brand new feature.

The US offers a technology upgrade feature, allowing users to purchase subsequent routes at a 1% discount, provided they meet the required criteria…

Trying it out now, it's really good.

At that time, we can explore all sorts of projects, from controlled nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductivity to space-based carriers, on a small scale.

After all, a man's future lies in the stars and the sea.

Meanwhile, Li Jiahui was studying his own plan, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

"Boss, we can solve it by next year... but don't worry, I'll do what Lao Huang did: keep all the technology hidden in the lab and push the limits of our resourcefulness!"

"Don't hang out with Lao Huang too much, he's corrupting you, Professor Li."

Although Shen Fei laughed and scolded him, he still nodded:

"This project is top secret. We'll screen the team later and get the technology implemented as soon as possible."

Remember the core parameters of the NPU, and keep them strictly confidential. No one except the core personnel involved should be informed.
