Chapter 162 Using New Materials
Kaiweisi Hotel, a luxurious large box, a large dining table for 12 people in four chapters, Zhou Xing greeted his subordinates with a smile on his face, and they brought their eldest female companions to the table.
By now, the engineers finally understood that they had fallen into a very big "pit". The chairman of the board, Zhou Xing, was a technical genius who "eat people without spitting out bones", a workaholic, and under his hands Working will definitely drain every ounce of mental and physical energy from your body.
For an easier job?
The engineers thought about it for a while, and then gave up quickly. First, they could no longer find a better unit than Xingyao International Welfare. Second, working under Mr. Zhou, a technically talented person, they could not learn Less new knowledge, better skills, and third, when they are young, it is time to suffer, and they should not choose ease.
After much deliberation, they have to grit their teeth and continue to work on this job. So, if they don't take the opportunity to get back to their original status, when will they wait.
The engineers vented all their grievances on the exquisite delicacies on the dinner table, eating and drinking with their stomachs open as if they were going to overwhelm Zhou Xing, and at the same time, they did not hesitate to call on their family members to act together.
Zhou Xing smiled happily and joined the army of grabbing food.
If you want to use someone, you must first move your heart.
It's just a banquet, Zhou Xing is not short of this money.
The task period is only two years, and the time is tight. The most important thing at present is to catch up with the development progress of AI chips.
Zhou Xing has a thorough understanding of software knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence. Now, he plans to conduct research on artificial intelligence hardware and develop an AI chip, which is suitable for smart phones, smart robots, smart homes, etc., combined with smart software The system allows electronic products to have the 'smart' ability of 'fake' artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is the hottest field of science and technology today. In September last year, chip giant Intel announced the development of a dedicated chip for artificial intelligence technology. Google said it would independently develop a new chip to support artificial intelligence. IBM is designing a chip based on brain structure TNH, Apple, Microsoft, ..., technology giants are all designing new AI chips and developing artificial intelligence.
The major technology giants are actively deploying the field of artificial intelligence. If they release the AI chip before these giants, and cooperate with other publicity plans at that time, they should be able to meet the requirements of the task.
Zhou Xing was thinking about the plan in his mind while eating delicious food.
After the banquet, Zhou Xing left the hotel first after instructing the administrative secretary to take care of the aftermath.
Back in the Bauhinia Rose Garden, Zhou Xing immediately entered the virtual laboratory as soon as he returned to his room.
The empty virtual laboratory, chip tester, signal tester, learning power analyzer, ..., all kinds of electronic equipment, densely packed.
Zhou Xiaozhi frowned, floating in mid-air, staring at the several instruments operating below, monitoring the all-round test data of the AI chip.
"Boss, you're here!" Seeing Zhou Xing appear, Zhou Xiaozhi floated in front of him with a happy smile on his face.
"Well, how's the test result?" Zhou Xing asked impatiently.
"Boss, the computing power of the AI chip has met your requirements, but the power consumption and heat dissipation are not enough." Zhou Xiaozhi's face collapsed, and he looked at Zhou Xing with some unhappiness.
"Hmm! What's the situation with energy consumption and heat dissipation?" Zhou Xing went dark for a moment, and sighed predictably.
"Energy consumption is still 35% short of your requirements, heat dissipation is far from meeting your requirements, and the speed of chip operating temperature rises by 47%-65%." Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xinghui.
Integrating 300 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip can certainly improve the overall computing performance of the chip and greatly reduce energy consumption. However, after a large number of transistors are powered on for computing, the problem of heat dissipation is an unsolvable problem.
In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore once proposed a famous Moore's Law: the number of components that can be integrated on a semiconductor chip will double every 12 months.
Over the years, the chip industry has basically developed according to Moore's Law, and the performance of chips can be doubled every 18 months.
Today, the famous Moore's Law is about to hit the ceiling. When the lithography machine for processing chips reaches the level of 5 nanometers, the atomic barrier of silicon-based chips is an unbreakable hurdle.
"Xiaozhi, let's give up silicon-based materials and use new materials for research and development." Zhou Xing gave Zhou Xiaozhi an order.
"Well, Boss, Xiaozhi recommends using: graphene." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in understanding, and recommended to Zhou Xing: "Compared with silicon-based materials, graphene has extremely high interceptor speed and electron migration speed. The main frequency of chips made of ene can reach 300GHz, the heat dissipation and energy consumption are more than 67% lower than that of silicon-based chips, and the operating speed is estimated to be more than a million times that of silicon-based chips.”
Graphene chips?
Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled wryly. He had thought about this direction, but the mass production of graphene is a big problem. Graphene is a single-layer two-dimensional carbon atomic structure, and the current national production is only a few hundred grams per year. , Yes, the unit is grams, even if you have money, you can't buy enough, let alone popularize it.
Do you want to develop the mass production process of graphene casually?
Zhou Xing frowned, feeling very distressed. Materials are often a huge limitation in the development and application of new technologies. Once one problem is solved, a new one will emerge.
"Xiaozhi, do you have any other recommendations for new materials?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi tentatively.
"Boss, if graphene doesn't work, Xiaozhi recommends using molybdenite material to make chips. The single-layer molybdenum material has better semiconductor characteristics than silicon materials. It is only 0.65 nanometers thick and consumes 10 times less power than traditional silicon transistors in a steady state. It is more suitable for manufacturing smaller semiconductor chips than graphene." Zhou Xiaozhi recommended to Zhou Xing.
"Molybdenite?" Zhou Xing frowned. He was very unfamiliar with this mineral and had no knowledge of it.
"Yes, boss, shall we start the experiment?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing eagerly with a small face.
Under Zhou Xing's unintentional training, Zhou Xiaozhi became very interested in various experiments, especially the research and exploration of new things.
"No hurry, wait a minute, I'm going to read a book to learn about this kind of material." Zhou Xing patted Zhou Xiaozhi's small head and comforted him.
"Oh! Boss, when will you come back!" Zhou Xiaozhi pouted and asked unhappily.
"Five or six hours. I'll do it as soon as possible. You can study it first. Wait a minute. We will know more about it." Once learning, Zhou Xing couldn't give a definite time, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Okay! Just compare." Zhou Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.
"Well, then I'm leaving!" Zhou Xing smiled slightly, and said goodbye to Zhou Xiaozhi. Before he finished speaking, his figure hurriedly came and went and disappeared in the laboratory.
