Chapter 203 (1/2)
And in fact, no one has ever used the GPU of imagination technology on the CPU of arm, because the microprocessor chip of arm is very expensive, and the GPU of imagination technology is even more expensive. When the two are added together, it is very uneconomic in cost.
But when they met such a stubborn person as Xiao Qi, they didn't feel a little big for a moment.
”That's it.” Xiao Qi took out his homework in recent days, ”the sgx312 of imagination technology is good. I don't have to say about this technical index, right? Please ask Mr. Percy to help do it, and then give it to the design masters of your company. ”
”There's no problem with the GPU index of imagination technology, but...” Percy scratched his head, looked at Fisher and rediro, and paused.
”I think so!”
When everyone was silent, Fisher nodded heavily, ”as Mr. Shaw said, who is not for sale? As long as things don't happen under our noses, what Mr. Xiao does is his business! Our arm's philosophy has always been to try our best to meet the needs of customers, which should not be changed. ”
Rediro nodded.
Although the technicians of the company are very stubborn, as long as they are so circuitous, I believe their resistance will not be too strong.
You know, this is a business involving 70 million US dollars. Who doesn't want to make more money?
Thinking of this, rediro hurriedly went out again and made a phone call.
Half an hour later, when he came back again, a smile had appeared on his face.
Sure enough, the headquarters of arm company has agreed to the improvement scheme of the chip, including reserved GPU connection and so on.
After the opinions were unified, the discussion among several people was also relaxed.
After two hours of negotiation, the price negotiation was fixed on the improved finished chips, and a high patent license fee of US $12 million was charged at one time. If Xiaoqi produces chips himself, he still needs to pay US $1 patent fee to arm for each chip, and the number of chips produced should not be less than 30 million.
Until he got the contract, Xiao Qi fell a big stone in his heart.
The brain of tablet computer has been solved, that is a very perfect start!
After talking about business, it was six o'clock in the afternoon and the lights in New York City were bright again.
Originally, redillo and them were going to invite Xiao Qi to dinner and wish the cooperation a success, but Xiao Qi received a call from Taylor and naturally preferred to have dinner with Meier.
The advance $5 million has been paid to the account of arm's New York branch in the United States. Arm's Cambridge headquarters has got the data in hand. A working group will be specially set up in the next two days to optimize the requirements put forward by Xiao Qi and create a CPU chip specifically for Xiao Qi. It is expected that the improvement will be successful in up to one month.
When he came out, Xiao Qi also called Mario and asked him to go to the headquarters of the patent office in Munich, Germany, and then go to the UK to obtain the patent license for the GPU graphics processor sgx312 of imagination technology company.
Imagine that the technology company is similar to arm. It also belongs to open architecture technology. As long as you pay, it's easy to say anything.
