Chapter 448 32-bit era
Not to mention how the old guys struggled, with a new environment, William White's quality of life was much higher, and both floors were used by him alone, how luxurious it was, there is indeed no need to say more.
"Boss, this is Intel's latest CPU80486. Tom didn't care when he saw the boss sunbathing, after all, they had been with the boss for a long time, and they knew that the boss was actually quite kind.
"Tsk, you're an engineering piece, right? When are you going to release it?"
"It's definitely not going to work this year, it's estimated that earlier next year, their current 386 was choked enough by Motorola, and if there is no new product, it is estimated that it will hit the street. "Tom didn't actually say that if you didn't develop a follow-up CPU, Intel might have to hang up.
"Tom, you're like this, tell the meeting to start, we're going to have the age of 32. ”
The birth of 486 can be regarded as a sign of the first thing, before the computer, the common use of DOS over DOS-based software. With this CPU, Microsoft can be regarded as plugging in the wings to fly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this CPU contains 1.2 million transistors, and while the main architecture has not changed much, it is disappointing, but there is no doubt that it will greatly increase the computing power of personal PCs. William White's words naturally aroused the interest of the participants, the number of transistors in 386 is less than 300,000, and this time the improvement will naturally greatly improve the computing power.
"Haha, I think, if Jobs was here, he would definitely vomit blood, and the CPU suitable for Macintosh appeared, but it's a pity that Apple has gone into decline. ”
In fact, Qiao Dashen is complaining, Nima, don't take such a bully, do you open a toothpaste factory, if this thing comes out earlier.
And damn William White, this guy should have the ability to develop it, and it's just not a good job to run to develop some accelerator card.
Affected by the price of memory and many other factors, the 3D accelerator card project of the White system died and was replaced by the so-called 2.5D.
William White knows very well that your two megabytes of memory can only handle these things, and if you want to use a 3D engine, it is vain to not have eight megabytes.
It's not impossible to force development, but the problem is that your customer base is too small.
"Guys, 2.5D is just an alternative, our memory factory is progressing fast, and this time next year, I promise, we can use our own memory. ”
Of course, his subordinates know this meaning, and if they control the source, they will naturally not let the price of memory get out of control.
"Boss, now it seems that the only bottleneck is the hard drive. ”
William White twitched the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "If you want to say that anti-monopoly is really useful, let's just say that this blue giant should be split into parts, obviously he has mastered the core technology, but he is unwilling to take it out." But don't worry, Seagate seems to have made a breakthrough as well, and I'm looking forward to Andy Grove's expression right now. ”
When the subordinates heard it, they naturally understood that there was a play, so that their office software did not need to consider the capacity all day long.
By the end of the meeting, the White system had significantly sped up. When developing this thing, the most worrying thing is that there is a problem with the direction.
Backwardness is naturally not good, the production is garbage, and too leading is also a floating cloud, just like the second generation of voodoo 3D accelerator card. 16 trillion memory is very enjoyable, more than 500 dollars for the price, you go sell it to the ghost.
Well, Ya's luck is good, it ran into a memory price collapse, if it weren't for that, this company would be completely offline.
Of course, there are also after-effects, and since then, they have become an ordinary company, and there is no longer any ambition to forge ahead. Because shareholders don't like risk.
As for William White, why isn't he afraid?
Hehe, what he's aiming at isn't a personal PC for the time being. Those graphics workstations don't care about hundreds of dollars.
"By the way, Tom, does Intel have a second supplier this time?"
"Boss, they have abandoned the dynamic memory, their own production capacity is still insufficient, it is impossible to cheap AMD, and now they are still negotiating, and there is a possibility of going to court. ”
"Haha, this time, let's see if anyone else says anything about government procurement, this group of bastards, the problems are all habitual, love to buy and buy or not. ”
Using the possible defects in the quality of his own products as an excuse, William White can be regarded as a precedent. What makes some government agencies extremely entangled is, you can't buy it.
In fact, this so-called second supplier has also existed in name only. If you do this with the White system, some people will naturally follow suit.
William White said it very bluntly, I spent so much money to develop something, why should I be cheap other bastards? Not only will I not let others produce it, but I will also set up a bunch of patent barriers.
William White's words are highly recognized by the IT industry, and you politicians sitting in the office know how to use a hammer.
Someone said, you cooperate with the wool and the footbasin, aren't all the eight-bit processors given to the footbasin?
Hehe, you can see clearly, Micron and Lianhua are both processing companies, what is a processing company I don't understand? It is an enterprise without R&D capabilities, I will not cultivate opponents for myself, this is the whole reason.
Well, the reason is so powerful that even those politicians are speechless. Or, they don't dare to say that William White is too poisonous and likes to button people's hats. Isn't the hat that has brought down the game industry in the United States on the head of the Ministry of Justice? How long has it been, and the game industry in the United States is still dead.
In the era of 32-bit, there are changes not only in DSL, but also in video calls. The computing speed is faster, the hard disk space is larger, and the data that needs to be transferred will naturally be larger. William White's wallet, naturally, can also be packed with a lot of benefits.
What William White didn't expect was that the digital mobile communication had not yet come to fruition, but ADSL had already entered the operation process. Obviously, Lao Mei is not going to be reasonable, you bastards, if you don't want to follow up, then it's up to you.
For William White, of course, this is good news. Patents are naturally not sold, 5% shares, no matter how little, don't talk about it, buddy company internal use.
"Filson, will the government fund the research and development of digital mobile communications?
Filson smiled bitterly, the goods in the position are simply lame ducks, such a huge amount of plan, naturally there is no way to approve it, you know, this year's deficit has exceeded 600 billion, he doesn't want to hand over a mess to Bushu.
"Boss, I don't have a chance this year, I have to wait for the new boss to come to power. The deficit of 700 billion yuan can be regarded as a record. ”
"Actually, this group of people is a loser, spending money to advertise the rice car, I don't know how to figure it out, since people like to buy the rice car, just continue to buy it, you give some tax incentives, or some free gasoline, the effect is definitely better. ”
Now you still insist on buying Mi Guo car, you are definitely true love fans, what kind of advertising do you still play, and you have cheapened that group of advertisers in vain.
