Three days later, Silicon Valley Xinghai completed the wholly-owned acquisition of the original Cyrix for $150 million in cash. Cyrix, a company founded less than four years ago, has officially become history, and its patent and trademark rights have been completely transferred to Silicon Valley.

Since Xinghai is not listed, or even publicly funded, the capital market can only express its views through the shares of Texas Instruments, which are associated with Xinghai.

Wall Street has been cautious about Xinghai's acquisition of Cyrix.

......

"Mr. Claude, Xinghai's commitment to Cyrix's independence does not mean that I will watch you go astray. ”

Su Yuanshan and Claude were walking in the garden of the villa, and when they came to a peach tree, he stopped and said seriously: "I will give you two months so that you can complete the current project, that is to say, the current core CPU can only go to 50Mz at most." ”

"In two months, I will have the CPU team of Yuanxin connect with you. ”

Claude's eyes were always shining, and he said in a deep voice, "What is the code name of the new core?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I originally wanted to call it Tualtin...... But it's better to think about it. Su Yuanshan looked at the location of Intel in the distance, and smiled: "Why don't you name it after the main god of Norse mythology, how about Thor?"

"Thor is good. Claude smiled with a complicated expression, he looked at Su Yuanshan deeply, and said in a deep voice: "But are you really sure that the 0.5 micron process can support the architecture you proposed before?"

"Sure. ”

"That's good. Claude nodded and let out a long sigh.

He admits that technology aside, Su Yuanshan is indeed worthy of his nickname of wonder boy in terms of foresight and insight.

Su Yuanshan was able to think of adding dozens of pipeline instructions on the basis of X86 to form a new instruction set - this instruction set was named MMX by Su Yuanshan.

Multi Media eXtension – Meaning Multimedia Enhancement Command.

At present, due to the computing power of the CPU, it is almost impossible to complete multimedia video decoding on its own. In order to play MPEG1 video files on a computer, you must insert a separate decoder card.

- Coincidentally, the main chip of this decoding card is also from Yuanxin.

But once there is this MMX instruction set, coupled with the vision of the "Thor" core that was casually reported just now, then all the decoder cards on the market will be wiped out in an instant.

64-bit bus, up to 500MB/s bandwidth, 0.5μm process, starting at 150Mz...... Such a CPU, once it is born, I am afraid that even Intel will tremble.

"But the current instruction set lacks the technology to implement it, and there is no way to optimize it. And it is not yet known if Microsoft is willing to support it. IF MICROSOFT'S NEW GENERATION OF WINDOWS CAN SUPPORT IT, MMX CAN BE LEANER AND MORE EFFICIENT. If you don't support it, then you can only become bloated......" Su Yuanshan said and sighed: "I talked to Mr. Gates, they seem to have a very unusual relationship with Intel, and before we have an absolute advantage over Intel, their priority ally must be Intel." ”

Claude also sighed: "After all, the X86 patent is in the hands of Intel, especially the 338 patent, which is too rogue." ”

Su Yuanshan said happily: "So you thought of using Texas Instruments to have authorization to circumvent?"

"yes...... I don't know if we can reconcile at all. Claude looked at Su Yuanshan, but he was a little embarrassed.

After all, this is the pot he threw out, and now as a Xinghai executive, he should not be worried.

"Don't worry, we have a strong team of lawyers, and Texas Instruments is also helping us, and the probability of settlement is very high. ”

Su Yuanshan said in his heart, it's not very big, it's inevitable!

After continuing to stay in Silicon Valley for two days, Su Yuanshan and Xi Xiaoding rushed to the airport with light clothes.

This time, it was replaced by Xi Xiaoding driving, Tang Wenjie sitting in the co-pilot, and Su Yuanshan and Yang Yiwen sitting in the back.

Su Yuanshan wanted to talk to Yang Yiwen about something.

"Sister-in-law, three things. Su Yuanshan held the passenger seat, sat up straight, and the whole person became serious.

"Well, you say. Yang Yiwen knew that once Su Yuanshan didn't joke, he must have something serious.

Su Yuanshan stared at Yang Yiwen's big shining eyes, and said softly: "Here in Xinghai, among the board of directors and executives, there is a gradient of my trust. You should understand ......"

Yang Yiwen blinked quickly and nodded with a smile: "I understand, in fact, everyone in the sea of stars is not stupid, and they all know that I am the Qincha you left behind." And Carly ...... Through my observations, she is a standard professional manager and can still be trusted. ”

"Well, but it's better to be on the safe side. So the first thing is that you have to help me keep an eye on the sea of stars. You are the general manager of the company's legal department, and you are also a director, and you have enough power to restrain some phenomena that we do not want to see. ”

Yang Yiwen nodded lightly: "Understood, and then what?"

"Then it's about paying more attention to the attitude of the government here and developing a sense of secrecy. ”

At this time, Tang Wenjie turned around and smiled: "Xiaoshan, you are talking like you are doing underground work......

"Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, my sister-in-law's identity is still a bit special, don't trouble people when the time comes. ”

Yang Yiwen just smiled and continued to nod: "What else?"

"If you continue to be familiar with the law here, you must become a legal expert here - as long as we have the money to fight lawsuits, the law here must be just. Oh no, to add a rhetoric, procedurally fair. ”

Su Yuanshan said, thinking of the Simpson murder of his wife that had not yet happened.

Under the almost conclusive evidence, Simpson's strong team of lawyers actually relied on the reason of "flaws in the evidence" to directly force the court to acquit him.

At that time, this case not only caused an uproar in the West, but also caused deep thinking in China.

Of course, although the court acquitted Simpson of killing his wife, it does not mean that the judges let him go. After being sentenced to tens of millions of civil compensation, he was directly punished for 33 years in a robbery case a few years later. It fully demonstrates the legal system with the characteristics of the Star Flag State.

And these are all things that Yang Yiwen needs to understand and know.

"Well, this one is a certainty. Yang Yiwen smiled and nodded: "It's gone, right?"

"No, I'm waiting for you to come back in the country, you get married, and I'll give you a villa. ”

Tang Wenjie suddenly shouted: "Damn, where is the villa?"

"When the time comes, it may be the Shanghai market. ”

Su Yuanshan smiled and lay down in his seat relaxedly.

There are now 500 million yuan in cash lying quietly in the account of offshore Xinghai, which cannot be used to build a wafer factory, but there is no problem with building a science and technology park.

Shanghai, the city with the greatest support for the semiconductor industry, is also the most international. It's the perfect place for the next science and technology park.
