Where is the godson innovation? What's the point?

See GODSON contract MIPS, wrote a "Godson contracted MIPS independent property rights CPU nuclear strategy failure", did not expect to be Sina pushed to a significant problem, in fact, old Yao only want to use the GODSON contract MIPS to explain the national decade to push independent intellectual property rights CPU nuclear strategy error, as for godson old Yao think the country invested heavily and not wrong, See the Internet so-called experts, reporters to godson blindly accused, old Yao poured some ideas do not spit unhappy.

One, godson has no infringement?

In law although Godson until recently acquired MIPS authorization, godson and no infringement, early godson main development MIPS32 architecture CPU, due to the previous years MIPS and other foreign companies to the Chinese market, many patents in the country did not declare, Therefore, the patent on the MIPS32 instruction set in mainland China and many countries in Latin America and Africa does not have the effect, Godson's products as long as the export, there will be no infringement, and then the godson development MIPS64 architecture CPU is indirectly from the St authorized, so there is no infringement problem, It should be said that godson in intellectual property treatment is not bad.

Second, why has the godson been authorized until now?

One might ask, since the use of a family's instruction set, why godson started not to sign the authorization of MIPS, the person holding this problem may not understand the MIPS, the instructions set of authorization also do not understand, as the informed, old Yao once and MIPS China Region President Cai Qingsheng is also familiar with, to Hu Weiwu also understand, In fact, the calculation and MIPS in a few years ago has begun to discuss licensing issues, for this MIPS global president has personally visited the calculation, but the MIPS proposed the licensing costs as high as 5 million U.S. dollars, compared with arm more than 10 times times higher than the, godson should be authorized a few years ago? Obviously not, as for the specific cost of the authorization, old Yao not clear.

Is there any innovation in godson?

Ask this question itself is to CPU does not understand, doubt godson innovation is obviously also to IC knowledge idiot, Godson uses only MIPS instruction set, all the architectural design is self-development, just like Intel and AMD use X86 instruction set, you can say AMD never innovation? We all know that mobile device arm is dominant, but the arm is authorized by the full CPU core, the arm can be modified to the core of the global only Intel, even Intel is authorized ARM architecture, not just the instruction set, you can say Intel's arm CPU no innovation, Obviously not.

Iv. what is wrong with the national CPU strategy?

From the Ark, the Chinese core, the national core to ..., these years the country has been vigorously promoting independent intellectual property of the CPU core, these so-called independent property rights, only godson used the industry is also a popular instruction set, even so, the industrialization of the road has been very difficult, the other several even the instruction set are independent intellectual property of the CPU is no chance of survival , in fact, not to mention the so-called experts, microelectronics courses in a few years students can make a set of their own set of instructions through open source code, useful?

What is the meaning of godson?

Some people say that since Godson's industrialization is very difficult, since the godson is not likely to replace Intel to become the mainstream of the PC CPU, godson also has no meaning of survival, this is more absurd, although the old Yao to Guojie to the national security as a result of the emphasis on the value of the godson, national security is really part of the reason for the godson, Godson should not be positioned to replace Intel, but also replaced, but with godson, we can develop their own servers, routers, and even military products, you can say that these products for the security of the country is not valuable, the existence of godson is not worth it? The total will not MIPS in the instruction set also added the so-called back door bar.

Godson's other value in the embedded field, and spend a huge amount of money to buy arm core, but not in the domestic promotion is not tort and free MIPS32 compatible core, after all, in the field of embedded mobile, MIPS have their own unique, in the field of digital television, MIPS market share even more than arm, Unfortunately, Godson has been emphasizing on the PC CPU in the past few years to contend with Intel, the loss of a huge embedded market.

Godson exists Another value is the cultivation of talent, no doubt compared to Europe and the United States, in the cutting-edge integrated circuit design of the local microelectronics is very far away, not to mention as a research and development agencies, even if the commercial operation of companies, generally involved in High-tech products companies have to set up research and development centers in the United Although godson in the industrialization is not very smooth, at least for the country to cultivate a lot of high-tech fields of talent.

Six, godson wrong where?

It says a lot about the value of godson, old Yao also talk about the mistakes of godson these years, first godson should not be in the PC CPU field put too much energy, should focus on the server and embedded resources in the field, godson can not in the PC domain and Intel contend, Intel even if occasionally say flattering words also just out of courtesy, This includes even netbooks, in essence, the netbook is still a computer, Linux computers can never be popular in China, because Linux programs are not popular, ease of use is far more difficult than windows; another big mistake of godson is the lack of software investment, in fact, the key to the processor's competition is not in hardware design, But software to the CPU support, no software stability support, and then advanced CPU can only be garbage, this is also a lot of international manufacturers software and hardware staff ratio of up to 2:1 or even higher reasons, leaving a strong software team and management, Godson no future.

Godson in the embedded field of mistakes from the rise of Beijing June is visible, in the past few years, even with Dr. Hu Weiwu's classmate Daiju also based on MIPS instruction set in the embedded field to make a huge breakthrough, shipping CPU has more than tens of millions of million, can be seen MIPS is not no market, but Godson's concern points out the problem.

Vii. about Hu Wu

To godson old Yao have their own ideas, also with Hu through many times, although many problems are rare, but Hu Weiwu old Yao has been very respectful, reason without it, at least Hu Weiwu is a very dedicated, clean scientists, and some will only be fooled by the so-called experts, Hu Weiwu The value of the country much greater, The state needs not only integrated circuit entrepreneurs such as Swiss core micro-CEO Reed, but also scientists like Hu Weiwu. (author, Lao Yao)

PostScript: A lot of friends message old Yao should not so for the godson defense, even a friend speculated that the old Yao was under some pressure, but it is not, on an article old Yao just pointed out that MIPS signed the core of independent intellectual property rights CPU nuclear strategy failure, and no otherwise godson in the independent intellectual property contribution, unfortunately by some reporters solution , the country needs godson such national team to do some of the strategic areas of research, even if godson has such a problem, whether or not the whole industry recognized.
