After the game, everyone was ready to eat turkey.

"The news that has just arrived, the new chip tape-out has been successful. "When it was time for the turkey feast, Mori Xia received the news from the mud, and he immediately conveyed the news to Chika.

"Looks like next year's machine should be fine, right?" said Chika.

"The architecture doesn't change, we go the iterative route. ”

If you have to say, the host on Senxia's side is more similar to the iterative mode of future Mac computers and fruit mobile phones, rather than the host.

However, GS can indeed have a system now, which can be used as a computer.

"Now it's all about cost. "I hope they can continue to keep costs down." The new machine still uses glue multi-core, but the design of this generation is more complicated, and I asked them to be careful when developing it. ”

The so-called glue multi-core is not just a good thing to stick the die on the circuit board.

This kind of multi-core requires circuit design, and the more dies there are, the more complex the circuit, the larger the board, and the higher the cost.

The overall chip yield and the cost of glue are a correlated product.

The higher the chip integration, the lower the yield, the higher the chip cost, but the circuit design can be relatively simplified, so that the cost decreases; the more glue multi-core, the higher the yield, the lower the chip cost, but the circuit design is more and more complex, so the circuit cost will rise.

There is a measure of this. It is also for this reason that in the new chip, each die is not a single core, but a dual core, and the entire quad-core CPU is composed of two dual-core dies.

Theoretically, this mode can even be done with octa-core, but there is no point in doing that, it will only increase power consumption, increase the difficulty of design, and also have to replace the new IO chip, and things will become very complicated.

Senxia continued: "Look at their current tests, if the new chip is okay, the prototype can start to be made. ”

If you're lucky, you'll be able to get a new machine next year, but if you're unlucky, you'll have to postpone it for a year.

Senxia is ready here.,If a new machine comes out.,This is the protagonist of next year.,And the handheld will only release the news.,And launch in 04.,But if the new machine can't come out.,The news of the handheld will be released next year.,And the new GSII will be postponed to 04.。

Of course,It's also possible that the two sides have a difficult birth.,That's okay.,Senxia took the opportunity to launch the same somatosensory handle as the somatosensory system.,It's just that there's no game to brew yet.。

"By the way, the architecture of our handheld seems to be called arm? Why do we use this?"

Just when it came to the CPU, Qianjia thought of the CPU on the handheld side. Senxia's handheld is directly using the recent ARM architecture.

"Well, this platform is more mobile-friendly. And I couldn't find a better one. But it's just to license the design, and the interior is still our own design. ”

A completely independent design is naturally the best.

But that also means high costs.

Not only the cost of their own products, but also the cost of new self-developed technologies for third parties is also very high.

Sony, which is on the other side of the world, has suffered. When they were in PS3, the development of game consoles was so difficult that many third-party manufacturers were daunted.

Later, Sony was forced to develop a number of games with excellent graphics himself, hinting to third parties that "this is the performance of our game consoles, let's develop them quickly".

But the problem is that Sony's PS3 memory is very urgent, so that many third parties are stopped by this mere 256MB memory capacity when developing.

Because of this, Senxia pays great attention to the simplicity and portability of development when developing, and in terms of memory and video memory capacity, it is relatively open, although it will increase some costs here, but Senxia thinks it is worth it.

"Handheld computers are always excessive machines, and after two generations at most, they will inevitably be replaced by smartphones, and we will follow this path in the future. Senxia said.

"Then what won't be replaced?" asked Qianjia casually.

"Hmm...... Arcade?"

The arcade machine is very huge, although the home machine can also be simulated, but the real somatosensory arcade machine, there is really not much that can be replaced in the future.

"Actually, I'm quite interested in arcades. Qianjia said as she turned her head to look at the other side.

Mori Xia followed Qianjia's gaze and saw Shion who was surrounded by other people.

Shiyin's operation just now was quite good, and everyone was surprised.

"Well, indeed. Senxia nodded, "If you have an arcade machine at home, that's good." ”

Well, it would be nice to be able to see Hatsune Miku dancing every day at home.

"It would be great if everyone could have a dedicated gaming room. ”

To be honest, the game experience of that kind of large arcade machine is really good, and the arcade machine is old and not dead, and it is not because the players are old and young, but there are objective reasons.

It's just that relatively speaking, this game experience doesn't allow many players to go to the arcade.

Relatively speaking, Internet cafes in many places are developing well......

Senxia's support for Internet cafes is more than that of arcades.

For example, in a large eastern country, Senxia has carried out in-depth cooperation with Internet cafes. In many certified Internet cafes, as long as players log in here, the game will open the exclusive skin of the Internet café, and all characters will be open.

Because of this, many players go to a certified "Hero Trail Internet Café" to play, because this is how they can have the best gaming experience.

Not only that, Senxia also has cooperation with Internet cafes, and the point card recharge cashback is one.

At a time when the current online payment method is not perfect, many games use point cards to recharge, and Senxia cooperates with Internet cafes to give them cashback from selling point cards.

Not to mention, this is really good, and many Internet cafes use various means to encourage players to buy point cards. According to the data of Senxia, after the cooperation, the sales of "Sword Art Online" in a large eastern country directly increased by more than 150%, which is a very terrifying data.

"But after more than ten years, I'm afraid the arcade machine won't work. "I've seen this year's WCG, and there are two fewer arcade projects than last year." ”

WCG's projects cover a wide range of aspects, but there are trade-offs.

In the current era of the majestic development of games, only arcade games are in a state of shrinkage, in fact, in the arcade project, it is almost a mud bombardment, and few other places can compete with it.

"The arcade can only be seen domestic. Sega doesn't have a home console, so it will definitely concentrate on arcade and software, and the scope of our cooperation can be expanded. Arcade machines don't have to be in arcade halls, they can also be in other places, such as our dancing arcades, which are placed in shopping malls and other places, which are very beneficial for our promotion. ”

The arcade machine is very conspicuous.

Especially large arcade machines.

Therefore, in Senxia's view, the arcade machine is a machine that can be used as a treasure to promote his own ideas.

Think about it, if you can see Hatsune Miku dancing as soon as you enter the shopping mall, wouldn't this role be easy to penetrate into people's hearts?

The answer is yes.

This kind of high sense of presence is that Mori Xia has not given up the arcade, which seems to be an outdated product.

"It's rare for parents to take their children to the arcade, but they do take their children shopping. And if a child sees an arcade machine in a shopping mall and wants to play a little more, parents will not necessarily refuse. Mori Xia said about his experience.

"Makes sense. ”

Qianjia nodded.

Parents don't take their children to arcades, but shopping malls are different.

Moreover, Hatsune Miku's game is very active and does not have any unhealthy places, so it is easy for the child's parents to accept.

Of course, if you want to say that there are two arcade machines for "Road to Survival" here, then the parents must be far away with their children. It's a blessing that they don't come looking for trouble.

"If I had children, I probably wouldn't reject them. Qianjia pondered.

"Kid. Senxia pondered, "It seems good to have a caring daughter or something." ”

"......" However, as soon as Sen Xia finished speaking, he found that Qianjia was looking at herself with a kind of garbage look.

Mori Xia was stunned.

Am I saying something wrong?

"Wait a minute, Senpai. Senxia realized, "Do you think I'm that kind of person, how could I do it to my daughter!"

"Yui is cute, isn't it? ”

Qianjia's words made Mori Xia pause, but he immediately reacted, Qianjia was talking about an AI found by the protagonist Kirito in "Sword Art Online", and this AI became Kirito and Asuna's "daughter".

"Wait a minute, this is designed by Kawahara Li!" Mori Xia said quickly.

“...... Dome is my sister, but when she is self-willed, I feel as if she has become my daughter...... Well, I don't remember very well, but I remember that in "The Sky of Edge", there seems to be a similar line. Qianjia actually thought of "The Void of Fate".

Well...... Qianjia didn't completely recite the original sentence, but it did have words with similar meanings.

"It's different, it's just a description, it's just a description!" Sen Xia said angrily.

"Oh, I see, don't you like me, papa......"

In a cold voice, saying the word "papa", Senxia felt almost suffocated.

Not...... Lethality...... It's so strong......

This contrast is even stronger than that of my sister.

Yes...... I can't do it!ah, I'm dead!

Ah, I exploded on the spot!

Senxia faltered.

And Qianjia continued to live forward at this time.

As if to avoid being heard, she approached, leaning close to Senxia.

The soft tone whispered in Sen Xia's ear: "Dad, I like you the most." ”

"Hmm......"

shaken......

Completely shaken ......!

The word that is more lethal than Ernie sauce makes Senxia feel almost suffocated.

Then, Senxia noticed that Qianjia took a step back and looked at Senxia with a more inferior gaze than before.

"Sen Xia-kun, gentleman or something, we are all the same. But this hobby of yours, I can't look at it directly. ”

"It's not like that!"

Mori Xia gritted her teeth.

Qianjia deliberately said this here because everyone was around, relying on Senxia not to speak and discuss loudly.

He's meowing, and I'll let you know what a real "daddy" is tonight!

Sen Xia decided that in the dead of night, he wanted to let his senior sister understand what to call or something, but she must not scream indiscriminately!

Alas, who called me such an upright person huh......

Senxia sighed in his heart.

"Mori Xia-kun, senior, come and eat fire**!" Erika and Alice were setting up the table, and when it was almost ready, she came over.

"Oh, chicken, chicken!" Senxia nodded hurriedly.

At this time, it should be rushed.

I can't let my senior sister tease me anymore!

"Hoo ......"

Just as Senxia was eating chicken, Wolf also contacted his connections.

The WCG is about to begin.

Wolf looked at the market, or rather, briefly looked up some of WCG's sponsor profiles on the Internet, and found it to be quite convenient.

He found that the largest beverage manufacturer on WCG is Coca-Cola.

In the game of Hero's Trajectory, there are limited scout guards in the shape of Coca-Cola, and Coca-Cola has to appear in every game.

In addition, there are not many other FMCG products.

The advertising of FMCG products is sometimes very exclusive, and this product, people who don't know how to enter it casually, will definitely die.

"But there are no energy drinks...... Moreover, Coca-Cola is not divided into ......"

Wolf pondered.

Coca-Cola's naming fee was given. But Coca-Cola didn't launch an original product promotion in the competition.

This is not necessary for Coca-Cola.

Because Coca-Cola is too large, there is definitely no demand in this regard, they are pursuing exposure, and the so-called sharing, even if there is, it is not possible to say it explicitly, it will only reduce their style.

But if it's a smaller manufacturer, using a brand of energy drinks and then selling them to players, this should be the best.

Functional drinks are actually still drinks, but with some additives such as taurine added to them, they are called "functional drinks". But in fact, this product is just as harmful as ordinary drinks......

But that's what Wolf wants.

For players, if they buy a drink for themselves with a special feature and can also support their favorite team, why not buy a little for themselves?

"Mail ...... It's written. Wolf wrote the email and prepared to send it to the Order of the Phoenix.

But he thought about it and gave up again.

"Let's go for myself. "He's going to go straight to them......

......

Senxia is a meal of preparing for education, and it is a serious education (serious face) in the literal sense.

Actually, I think 520 should be a real festival for single dogs......

Two-in-one meow meow ~
