twenty-three

Fish bubbling: I'm going to sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow, I can't see tonight's big war new book list war, send a chapter to everyone to cheer up, support!

~~~~~~~~~~

INTEL IN 1969 WAS A SMALL COMPANY AT ALL, ALTHOUGH IT BROUGHT TOGETHER ALMOST ALL THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT GENIUSES IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT THERE WAS NO MAIN PRODUCT, AND THE ONLY SCHEDULED MONEY-MAKING PRODUCT, 4K DYNAMIC MEMORY, HAD NOT YET BEEN DEVELOPED, AND THERE WERE QUALITY PROBLEMS. SO THE GENIUSES HAD TO TAKE ON SOME PRIVATE WORK UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE GENIUS NEIS, THE BIGGEST OF WHICH WAS A CUSTOM SET OF 12 CHIPSETS FOR DESKTOP CALCULATORS COMMISSIONED BY A JAPANESE COMPUTER (NOT A COMPUTER) MANUFACTURER, AND PAID $100,000 IN ADVANCE, WHICH ALLOWED INTEL TO SURVIVE THE DIFFICULTIES.

However, our expert Comrade Hoff thinks that 12 chips are too much, which does not conform to the streamlined aesthetic concept of his talent, so he made a report to do integration.

I haven't studied the psychology of geniuses, maybe the ideas of the masters always coincide, in short, Boss Nuo carefully read the report and shouted that I won my heart, and immediately approved the implementation.

With the support of the leaders, the Hoda people are even more unscrupulous, the train runs fast, all relying on the headband, the leadership is slow, and the soldiers are crooked. We Hoda people like to do it alone, so that no one shares the patent with us. He designed a simple set of hardware instruction sets that could be implemented with a relatively small number of transistors (awesome), but the progress was a bit slow (the first child, dystocia, hehe), and six months later, the product was still only on the drawings.

The American uncle is not in a hurry, but the Japanese do not follow, the Japanese company feels that things are strange, the money has been given, and it has been half a year, why has our goods not been pinched? So I sent an engineer to ask for something from INTEL (the English name is shima, I don't want to translate the Japanese, everyone reads it according to Chinese pinyin).

When so-and-so arrived, he knew that the 100,000 U.S. knives had been tested by Lao Mei, and the original goods were not designed at all, and he was suddenly angry from his heart, and he was born with evil and courage, and he wanted to PK with the Hoda people, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it. So so-and-so claimed: "If you have the goods, you will pay back!"

The Hoda people had no light on their faces, so they played the scoundrel and played the disappearance. In the end, it was Boss Nuo who stepped forward and sent Figkin, who had just been poached from Fairchild's company, to settle the matter.

Fei Boss is not a good type, he is the inventor of the silicon gate circuit, as soon as he took over this matter, he directly played a second pole, and said to the Japanese that either continue to develop programmable integrated circuits with us, or please come back, there is no money.

So-and-so is probably also imagining what the consequences will be if he returns to Japan empty-handed, and we can guess whether it is a caesarean section or a raw film depends on the president's mood at the time.

So the Japanese engineer had to contact the company and try to say good things, and the headquarters finally agreed to continue the project, and so-and-so had to be reduced to free labor for Mr. Fei.

These two young people redesigned the chip together, and after 8 months of continuous 12-16 hours of hard work every day (this is what the early days of the business looked like), they used the new silicon gate circuit process to create the prototype of the chip, but - no work, the mood of the two fell to the bottom, but the problem was quickly found out, just a few simple processing errors, the mood of the two rose sharply, it was really a moment of joy and a time of sorrow, very dramatic. In '71, the first CPU4004 was born.

The 4004 chip is actually specially designed and manufactured for a Japanese computer company, and the 4004 has 46 instructions and is in a 16-pin in-line package. It integrates 2300 transistors, 4-bit word length, separate data memory and program memory, 1K data memory, 4K program memory. THE CLOCK FREQUENCY WAS EXPECTED TO BE 1M AT RUNTIME, AND THE FINAL REALIZATION REACHED 740KHZ AND WAS CAPABLE OF BINARY-ENCODED DECIMAL NUMERIC OPERATIONS.

The only regret can only be the Japanese, their products have been delayed for more than a year, the loss is heavy, although the 4004 delivered, but the Japanese want Neuss to lose money.

Boss Nuo had no choice but to pay $60,000.

But Boss Nuo knows that he has found a priceless treasure, which is CPU technology, and if there is any regret about this technology, it is in cooperation with a Japanese company, which means that the patent is shared with others, which is something that must not be tolerated. Boss Nuo also made the Japanese company lose money, and he generously lost it, but as a condition, he demanded ownership of the design. Although the Japanese computer company has the right to use the new chip in its desktop calculator, the $3,000 desktop calculator has no future, because the handheld calculator is about to be available. A few years later, the Japanese computer company withdrew from the stage of history.

Since then, Intel has dominated the general-purpose CPU market until now.

In 1973, the group led by Figkin swelled in personnel. He and Shima (the Japanese engineer who was poached by Boss Nuo after the 4004 was developed) led a group of nearly 80 people to make significant improvements to the microprocessor based on user feedback.

He and Shima then compared and reviewed various new circuit design options. Hough even re-examined the process approach and helped improve and rationalize the instruction set.

By April 1974, they had developed a product that was ready for release. Called the 8080 chip, this product is another 8-bit microprocessor, but with a better instruction set and 10 times faster than the previous microprocessor 8008 (in fact, this chip is so well designed and functional that it retains its basic structure until today. )。

Cao Changjiu is now looking at this processor, and in order to copy it, the comrades of the Shanghai Metallurgical Institute got a few samples from some source, some of them were taken and planed, and the remaining one did not dare to move.

Accompanying the chip is a user manual that describes the functions of the 8080 in detail, and I have been thinking about the history of my dreams while gnawing on the English manual for a long time.

As early as 1979, Shanghai Component No. 5 Factory and Shanghai Radio No. 14 Factory successfully copied the monolithic 8080 eight-bit microprocessor, West Germany copied this kind of product in October 1980 (SiemensSAB8080A-C), and the Soviet Union in 1986 (EasternBloc8080KP580BM80A). This marks that we are only 5 years behind the development of CPUs in the United States at this time.

However, the manufacturing technology of microprocessors was monopolized by the United States after the 80s, and almost became the core of the information industry. In addition, the wrong development direction of Huaxia's computer industry, coupled with the influence of the development route of science and technology, has made Huaxia almost completely wiped out in the field of chips, and the traditional computer R&D and manufacturing industry no longer exists, and there is no core technology of its own.

The whole 80s is the era of the rise of microcomputers, during which there are countless opportunities, and there are countless large companies that have risen, which has led to the invigoration of the entire industry, but this shareholder wind has not benefited the Chinese people at all, and it seems that there is no international large-scale enterprise.
