Computers only recognize 0s and 1s, which are expressed as the on/off of circuits (voltage definition), and the most basic unit that processes data and logical relationships is the "logic gate".

"and" door, "or" door......

A processor with tens of millions of transistors is made up of these most basic units.

But......

What about data transfer?

Yu Changsheng was under great pressure, and after joining Huaxin Technology for more than a year, the graphics card division handed over such a heavy task to him.

Design a new next-generation graphics interface specification.

To this end, Huaxin Technology has set up three graphics card interface specification teams, and the time given is three months, and after three months, experts will demonstrate and select the best.

In other words, the group led by Yu Changsheng is only one of them.

If your plan is chosen, it will greatly improve your own interests and reputation, and there is no doubt about it.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OUR GOAL IS CLEAR, OUR JOB IS TO PROVIDE STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE GODSON GRAPHICAL INTERFACE PROGRAM AT THE HARDWARE LEVEL, WITH UPGRADEABLE BIT WIDTHS AND DATA TRANSFER CAPABILITIES. ”

"Upgradable?"

Yu Changsheng nodded, if you want the plan to stand out, you definitely need to have your own characteristics.

In Changsheng's view, in order to make progress, we must first follow the footsteps of leaders.

Wang Anran has a sentence that he remembers very clearly.

In the past, the standard was set by others, and we want to play with others, the first thing to do is to understand other people's standards and specifications, such as PCI interface, and then you want to play to the sky with your graphics card, and the transmission protocol and interface specifications have to be according to others.

Now, the DDR memory standard is in front, and the graphics card interface is the first time that Huaxin Technology has wrestled with international giants in the motherboard interface specification.

So......

On the premise of ensuring stability and performance, how to extend the life cycle of interface standards is the most important thing in Changsheng's view.

The key to extending the life cycle is to reserve enough space for future process upgrades and upgrades under the existing interface.

"Increasing the voltage can increase the transmission speed, but the heat generation and power consumption limit the frequency limit, and the lower voltage, the signal-to-noise ratio limits the stable ...... of data transmission."

"I think we don't just consider the definition of voltage, but also the framework definition of the data transmission system, including the bus interface integrated inside the CPU, the data transmission control unit in the south bridge chip, the pin definition of the excuse, the data instruction transmission protocol, and the data acceptance control chip......"

This is all groundbreaking exploration, and in fact, the original PCI interface standard can provide some good references.

"The PCI interface is an interface specification that provides a variety of devices, and in fact, we don't need that much for graphics cards. ”

The more in-depth the study, the more uncertain Yu Changsheng's heart became, and his originally clear thinking would also be affected in various ways.

"Direction, I need direction......"

Wang Anran always pays attention to the progress of Huaxin Technology's scientific research, in fact, most of his daily time is spent in meetings, or reading weekly and monthly reports of various researches.

He is naturally very concerned about the graphics card interface specification, because he knows very well that Intel is currently doing the same thing as Huaxin Technology, that is, the next generation of AGP graphics card interface standards.

When the PCI interface obviously cannot meet the needs of the graphics card, Huaxin Technology can make a necessary attempt for the next-generation graphics card interface.

Of course, competing with Intel, which has dominated the PC industry for decades, Wang Anran naturally puts his posture very high.

The so-called losing skills do not lose the battle, sometimes you have to learn Erha, even in the face of the existence that can't be beaten, you have to overwhelm the opponent in momentum, this is the spirit of the bright sword.

In May, the annual IT Technology Forum was held in Wanbei.

The current Huaxin Technology naturally has no reason to be absent from such an IT event.

Intel's technical operations officer, Rennes, revealed the Pentium triple processor for the first time on stage.

"Based on Intel's world-leading 320nm manufacturing process, the historic breakthrough of 20 million transistor integration, the frequency exceeded 500Mhz, the use of cash netbust core architecture, the processing efficiency at the same frequency is increased by 30% in the Pentium II processor......"

Wren said that he looked in the direction of Huaxin Technology, and raised his neck arrogantly!

This scene naturally fell in the eyes of Rebus, although both of them were surnamed Lei, however, Rebus had to obey.

The mass production of the 320nm manufacturing process, Texas Instruments does not have, and Intel undoubtedly rules the world on it.

You must know that in chips, process and design are the two core competitiveness, and there is no doubt that only Intel has mastered these two core top technologies in the PC field at the same time.

Others, although IBM has advanced chip manufacturing processes, has withdrawn from chip design in the PC industry.

Texas Instruments PC chip design has not yet taken hold.

AMD, on the other hand, has been classified as a second-tier rank.

As a direct competitor, Rennes's speech undoubtedly attracted the most attention from Rebus.

But it's also to be expected.

Intel is still working on CPU and memory in the future, and after spending a lot of time introducing the next generation of Rambus memory performance, Wren concluded with a lot of meaning: "In 1997, Intel will continue to lead the PC industry ......"

Perhaps except for Rebus, who expressed dissatisfaction, the others did not feel any disobedience.

And then Nvidia's Lao Huang came to the stage with a forty-meter-long broadsword.

"Today, I'm bringing NVIDIA's latest GF display chip engineering chip, which is produced using IBM's leading 320nm manufacturing process......"

Rebus's braincase hurts when he listens, this is bullying, they all come up with a 320nm manufacturing process, and only Huaxin Technology is still struggling with the 500nm manufacturing process.

"The gf display chip perfectly supports Microsoft's Dircet 3D 2.0 program interface and OpenGL program interface specifications, which can provide a better experience for graphic designers, and of course, we have a more significant experience in the game......"

It's a lot of pressure!

Rebus shook his head.

Huaxin Technology can't handle the first-generation products now, and Nvidia has begun to release second-generation products.

Even ATI, which was previously unexpected, showcased the next generation of Raidon graphics chips at the forum.

It was the turn of the representative of Huaxin Technology to take the stage, and Rebus straightened his collar.

The media sitting in the first row were very interested, and they wanted to see what kind of experience Huaxin Technology, which created the era of graphics cards, was surpassed by competitors in terms of display chips.

Of course, in terms of CPU, in the face of Intel's challenge, can Huaxin Technology still maintain the first place in performance?

Of course, there are also Intel, Nvidia......

Feliro watched it live on TV, and he was interested, but he didn't take the challenge of Huaxin Technology to a strategic level.

The reason is simple.

No matter how powerful Huaxin Technology is, it is always a giant who walks on one leg.

It's very simple to defeat him, just cut off Huaxin Technology's chip foundry.
