The Pentium II processor was released on the seventh day after the release of the Athlon™ Pro, once again winning the title of the strongest desktop CPU on the surface.

Athlon Pro's ass has not yet been hot, and he has given up the throne of the world's No. 1, but in any case, he has also been the world's No. 1.

1996 was destined to be a lively year, Wang Anran expected the beginning of Pentium II's hegemony, but he didn't expect the end.

Texas Instruments has once again blinded the eyes of the people who eat melons all over the world.

In just four months in the Athlons camp, Texas Instruments released the first generation processor codenamed "TANTA", which broke several world records as soon as it was born.

"Mr. Wang, I didn't expect it, our Athlon Pro CPU is completely cannon fodder, how long has it been, and the performance is more than twice as far behind the flagship of competitors. ”

Wang Anran shook his head and said: "This is not strange, no matter which progress is made in the design and manufacturing process, it will always bring about a leap forward in performance, and this time it is both." ”

Rebus was deeply worried and said: "Our 500nm manufacturing process of the Athlon II processor is still on the drawing paper, and Texas Instruments has released the TANTA processor so quickly, and it has hit the main frequency of 333MHz, which is incredible."

Mr. Wang, will we attract a wolf? ”

Wang Anran shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the 500 nanometer manufacturing process and the 800 nanometer manufacturing process we use now are fundamentally two different things. ”

Texas Instruments is still using the dividends of the athlon architecture, and if you want to leave Huaxin Technology alone, it is not impossible to fly alone, but it is extremely difficult, as long as it is within the box of the Athlon™ instruction set, it is the victory of Huaxin Technology.

"We also have to work harder, didn't Texas Instruments promise to help us OEM processors for 500nm and 180nm manufacturing processes! ”

"Mr. Wang, according to the information I know, our CPU will be available at least three months later. ”

"According to the original task schedule, this is not a hurry, the demonstration and testing stage must not be rushed, if the problem is brought to the product release, then the loss is great. ”

"Got it, I'll go back and send a department contact letter to inform and emphasize your instructions. ”

Wang Anran nodded and said: "Athlon CPU can be discontinued, for a long time later, Huaxin Technology can only rely on Athlon Pro to support the scene, compared with Intel and Texas Instruments, we have no competitiveness in high-end processors for the time being."

However, the Athlon proCPU can compete with their low-end products, and we can only rely on the cost performance to win. ”

Whether it is Intel's Pentium II or Texas Instruments' Tanta processor, the market price is sky-high, there is no way, the huge R & D expenses, in the end, must be implemented to the people who eat melons to solve.

The foundry is obviously much better, and the R&D expenses of a foundry are borne by multiple foundry companies, which is obviously much lower than Intel's monoclonal antibody.

This is also the reason why AMD and Intel used to play cost-effective.

You know, once upon a time, AMD, like Intel, also had its own chip processing plant.

Wang Anran suddenly thought that it had been a long time since he heard from AMD.

"What's the latest AMD product?"

"The latest is the Pentium 586 processor, which was released a year ago, and its performance is far behind similar products. ”

Wang Anran didn't wrinkle slightly, shouldn't be, Wang Anran knows something about AMD, and the company can't catch up with Intel, but it has a deep heritage.

In fact, AMD has disgraced Intel many times.

THE PROCESSOR FREQUENCY OF 1GHZ IS THE FIRST BREAKTHROUGH OF AMD THUNDERBIRD PROCESSORS.

The 64-bit processor was also pioneered by AMD.

The dual-core processor, which was also enabled by AMD first.

Before the advent of Core, AMD also had a long history.

Such a company that can make Intel's hands scramble is so restrained, Wang Anran definitely doesn't believe it.

Does AMD also want to plug in and is holding back its big move?

"Probably not, Mr. Wang, as far as we know, AMD seems to be still arguing about the new processor, and they still have a lot to study in the multimedia instruction set. ”

"Instruction set?"

Rebus nodded and said, "Yes, in order to avoid the minefield of Huaxin Technology and Intel in this regard." ”

Wang Anran nodded, now it has entered the multimedia era, in this regard, AMD has gone behind, and now 3D now! has also been dismantled, on the basis, AMD has lagged behind its competitors by a large margin.

What makes people sigh is where is the unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

Wang Anran sighed and said to Rebus: "Try to understand, how likely is it for Huaxin Technology to acquire AMD?"

Rebus looked at Wang Anran with a shocked expression.

"Mr. Wang, you want to buy AMD?"

Wang Anran nodded.

Rebus shook his head fiercely.

"Impossible, Mr. Wang, in terms of semiconductors, the West will not give us the opportunity to acquire their mature companies. ”

"That was before, but not necessarily now, by the way, what you just said, to be precise, Europe and the United States oppose our Chinese companies and acquire European and American companies that are more technologically advanced than ours. ”

"Mr. Wang, AMD also has several chip production lines. ”

"Huaxin Technology can ensure that AMD's chip production line will always remain in the United States. ”

"This ......"

"If we don't dare to try, we'll never know if it's okay. ”

"Got it, Mr. Wang. ”
