Since 1994, when China was connected to the international Internet, China's Internet development has entered a peak period.

Up to 1996, there were more than 200,000 people in the country who had access to the Internet, but more than ninety percent of these 200,000 people were personnel from major universities and research institutions.

And in civilian use, it falters.

In 1995, Zhang Shuxin established the country's first Internet service provider, Inseaway, to provide basic content and email services.

This has been the case for two years.

It was not until June 1997 that Ding Lei founded Sohu.com, and by the following year, the Internet had a blowout development, and Sohu, Tencent, and Sina were established one after another......

How could Huaxin Technology miss this wave of the Internet, in fact, Wang Anran had already prepared.

First of all, on the hardware, the processors of the planned 180-nanometer manufacturing process, are precisely intended for high-performance servers.

Different from desktop processors, the instruction set of server processors adopts a reduced instruction structure that is biased towards data processing, and is optimized on the I/O interface to meet the application requirements of high bandwidth and high redundancy error correction.

In Huaxin Technology's schedule, DDR second-generation memory with ECC error correction function is put on the agenda, and the design of 333m DDR2 memory can meet the bus data exchange requirements of the same bandwidth, and the dual-channel design can even meet the bus bandwidth of 666MHz, leaving room for future performance improvement.

"Mr. Wang, isn't it a bit radical, we have not fully explored the potential of DDR memory, and now we are developing DDR2 memory, in addition to the huge development cost, after simulation, the DDR2 generation memory with the same bandwidth is about 13% lower than the performance of DDR memory. ”

"What about capacity, what about core frequency, and what about data throughput?"

DDR2 and DDR memory, DDR2 theoretically has twice the bandwidth of DDR when processing data twice as much at one time and with the same core frequency.

In other words, DDR2 400 and DDR200 core frequencies are the same. The core frequency of the DDR2 200 is only half that of DDR.

A significant benefit of this is that with the same bandwidth and manufacturing process, DDR2 memory has a lower core frequency, requires lower voltage, and consumes less power.

"Professor Liu, DDR2 generation memory is specially used in minicomputer servers, high-end graphics cards will also be used, and in the future it will be used in PCs, we also want to set up a banner to guide the direction for the future!

So, it's worth it now. ”

You must know that the Rambus memory standard from Intel is raging on high-end PC models, and Huaxin Technology's DDR memory occupies half of the low-end PC and graphics card business with open technical standards and low prices.

Wang Anran was still very satisfied with this situation a year ago, and under the encirclement and interception of the old giant intel, DDR seems to have its own base.

And now, of course, it's time to attack.

Wang Anran's confidence lies in the success of the tape-out of the second-generation Athlon.

The first batch of 180 tape-outs, packaged in FBGA, was successfully transported by air to Yanjing Airport.

Xiao Kang, the leader of the test team, is in a very good mood, the first batch of ten chips are being tested, and the highest has been up to 533Mhz, which has caught up with similar products of intel and Texas Instruments.

This is just the beginning, the frequency of the tape-out test is only one of the most basic tests, from which you can easily judge the physique of the chip.

The next set of tests is key......
