Meanwhile, He Boting, who had secured the license for the Orange Z1 instruction set architecture, rushed back to Shencheng City overnight. He planned to conduct a comprehensive validation of its power efficiency, performance, and level of integration.

For many years, the feeling of being held in a chokehold by ARM was not a pleasant one.
