In the face of endless controversy among netizens, many netizens left messages and inquiries on Sugon Technology’s official website.
Sugon Technology finally responded to this matter on January 13, 2004.
On the official website of Sugon Technology and the official website of its subsidiary rice mobile phone, it was officially announced whether Sugon Technology is developing the next generation instruction set architecture.
In Sugon Technology's official answer, it directly and frankly admitted that Sugon Technology is indeed developing the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture.
Moreover, this research and development project was initiated shortly after the development of the Phoenix S1 instruction set was completed. As of now, the research and development time has been several months.
But it is a pity that Sugon Technology admitted in the article that Sugon Technology is indeed developing the Sugon S2 instruction set architecture.
However, it did not indicate when the Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture will be implemented, nor when a mobile phone processor based on the Phoenix S2 instruction set will be launched.
However, by reading this article, people now know who is the person in charge of the research and development of the instruction set architecture of the Sugon S2 mobile phone.
As for who is the person in charge of R&D, there is no doubt that it is Academician Ni Guangnan who previously worked with Lin Chen to develop the Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture.
In response to this, netizens felt excited and at the same time their uneasy hearts finally calmed down.
Although I don’t know when the Sugon S2 mobile phone instruction set will be implemented, and I don’t know when the mobile phone processor based on the Sugon S2 mobile phone instruction set architecture will be born, it will be fine as long as Sugon Technology is developing it.
However, while netizens breathed a sigh of relief, journalists around the world also added their own opinions and wrote news articles with different opinions.
So it didn’t take long for news about the Sugon S2 mobile phone instruction set to appear in major technology newspapers or Internet media around the world.
Regarding this related news, because the authors have different sources and different positions, the content of the articles they write is naturally different.
Among them, overseas articles are reporting these things.
This article mainly discusses which one is better, Sugon Technology's Phoenix S2 instruction set architecture and ARM v7 instruction set architecture, and discusses who will be the next winner in the future.
Among them, the conclusions of overseas media articles are almost all that the final winner is the ARMv7 instruction set architecture of Company M.
As for domestic news articles, they almost report the fact that the Phoenix S2 instruction set is being developed from an exciting perspective.
Of course, they also discussed how powerful the future Phoenix S2 instruction set will be, what new technologies will be used, how powerful the mobile phone processor will be, etc.
These articles are almost optimistic about whether the Phoenix S2 instruction set can continue to maintain global performance leadership.
After all, Sugon Technology has defeated Texas Instruments' mobile phone processors twice before and successfully won the title of the most powerful mobile phone processor twice.
Now according to this development trend, Sugon Technology has a high probability of continuing to win, so domestic media articles are optimistic about the Phoenix S2 instruction set.
But under such circumstances, other companies obviously do not want Sugon Technology and .M Company to be too arrogant and complacent.
First of all, Texas Instruments officially held a press conference on January 15, 2004 to announce their long-term plan to develop a new processor.
The name of this mobile phone processor is OMAP2710, which is an upgraded product of OMAP1710 and OMAP1750.
Among them, according to the news released by Texas Instruments, this mobile phone processor core is called OMAP2710.
It is a mobile phone processor developed based on the ARM1136J-S core which was just released at the end of last year.
This ARM1136J-S core will be manufactured using a 90nm process technology. Compared with the previous ARM926 core, this ARM1136J-S core has many new technologies and new designs. The processor frequency can easily reach 330MHz~500MHz!
Therefore, the performance of the ARM1136J-S core completely beats the previous ARM926 core, and also beats the Phoenix S2 mobile phone processor, which is the most powerful mobile phone processor in the world!
In this regard, as Texas Instruments released relevant news about the OMAP2710 mobile phone processor, Texas Instruments' stock price soared instantly, increasing by 12% in less than one day.
This growth directly eliminated the negative impact of previous adverse public opinion and sluggish stock prices caused by the unfavorable competition of Texas Instruments mobile phone processors, and it also surged a few points compared to before.
In this regard, while global media are reporting news related to Texas Instruments OMAP2710 mobile phone processor, the emotions of domestic netizens have fallen from heaven to the abyss.
After all, according to relevant news, the ARM1136J-S core performance released by M Company at the end of last year is indeed very strong.
At this time, Texas Instruments is using the ARM1136J-S core as the basis to develop mobile phone processors. With the powerful theoretical performance of the ARM1136J-S core, it can really beat the world's most powerful Phoenix S2 mobile phone processor!
Therefore, domestic netizens found that the situation of domestic mobile phone processors in the future is really not good.
However, there is not just one piece of bad news, and the Motorola Company of the United States seems unwilling to be lonely.
Galvin, the president of Motorola, was answering a reporter's question in an interview.
It has been publicly stated that Motorola is developing a more powerful Motorola mobile phone processor, and this mobile phone processor also uses the ARM1136J-S core!
In addition, when Galvin answered reporters' questions, he confidently declared that Motorola's mobile phone processor is definitely the best in the world.
Of course, no one knows now how the specific results were obtained and compared with each other.
But this does not prevent the news that Motorola is also developing a super mobile phone processor from spreading wildly in technology newspapers and media around the world.
In this case, other mobile phone processor design companies are not far behind.
For example, Cai Mingjie, the head of Lianfake, announced in a reporter interview that Lianfake has initiated a project to develop a new high-end mobile phone processor.
And the core of this high-end mobile phone processor also uses the ARM1136J-S core!
Seeing this, when the news was reprinted on the domestic Internet, many netizens who saw the news felt chills in their hearts, feeling that Sugon Technology's hope for future success was getting increasingly slim.
After all, the ARM1136J-S core is too powerful. They don’t understand much about the ARM1136J-S core technology, but they understand the frequency of the ARM1136J-S core.
The frequency of mobile phone processors can reach 330MHz~350MHz. This range is too high. The performance improvement brought by such a powerful frequency can definitely beat the Phoenix S1 mobile phone processor.
In this case, they are not very optimistic about the current Phoenix S1 mobile phone processor.
However, whether they are optimistic about Sugon Technology or not, Sugon Technology will not stop development because of outside opinions.
Just when the world's major mobile phone chip design companies announced that they would develop new mobile phone processors, and netizens were worried, the top management of Xia Ke Academy in Beijing finally made a decision after more than ten days of deliberations.
