The ZTE incident and the Sino-US trade friction have once again brought attention to domestic independent chips.
Recently, there have been reports from the media that the domestic independent chip leader - Tianjin Feiteng Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Feiteng) 'put the Cortex A57 product purchased from ARM with the self-controllable label and enter the information security market', causing public concern.
On August 3, Tianjin Feiteng held a press conference in Beijing, reaffirming the intellectual property rights of its own FT-1500A and 2000 series CPUs, and stated that it will continue to invest.
'Our company has never purchased any CPU products including the Cortex A57 from ARM (the famous British chip manufacturer - author's note), and it is even more impossible to put the products that have not been purchased into the market with the so-called tags, 'Publishing, Feiteng Ms. Gu Hong, general manager of the company, said.
'The development of the CPU is divided into two parts. The first one is to choose what standard, that is, the technical route, and then what is the standard for writing the line code. For example, write the paper in English or Chinese. 'Gu Hong said , 'CPU security, the most important thing is that every line of code is safe, because the standards are safe, how to complete the development of the chip based on the architecture system, how to write from the first line to tens of thousands of lines, this is the place to reflect the team's ability . '
Gu Hong revealed that before this, Feiteng tried a lot of architectures. Finally, we chose the world's mainstream technical standards, which is to ensure product compatibility, but also to ensure the use of software vendors and industry development.
'The most important thing for autonomy is to be safe. Now it's safe. The most important thing is that each line of code has to be written by yourself. It doesn't matter what architecture you choose.' Gu Hong said.
Gu Hong revealed that up to now, around the chip-related field, Feiteng has invested a total of 400 million yuan, and shareholders CEC (China Electronics Group) have invested at least 200 million yuan; so far, more than 100 patents have been declared.
However, Gu Hong is also frank, and his investment still has a certain gap compared with Huawei, and will increase investment in the future.
