Chapter 237 Breaking the Cauldron _ Tualatin
Three days later, the news from Toshiba made Wang Anran excited, although Toshiba has not made a clear statement, but all signs show that the cake thrown by Huaxin Technology does make Toshiba excited.
It is foreseeable that Toshiba will have to weigh the pros and cons of such a major decision, and be cautious, and it will be impossible without a few months of verbal swords at the negotiating table.
The smooth progress of the ripper second-generation graphics card project has given Wang Anran a lot of confidence in the complicated situation in the future.
At the same time, Intel, under the leadership of Feliro, fell into a strange circle of anxiety and irritability, the Pentium three processors repeatedly jumped tickets, Intel's confusion about the current solution, coupled with the step-by-step pressure of Huaxin Technology, made Feliro feel like sitting in the crater.
You must know that the most powerful processor now evaluated is the second-generation Athlon-based processor released by Huaxin Technology, which is also based on the 500nm manufacturing process.
Fortunately, the maturity of the 320nm manufacturing process has made Feliro hold his breath and will definitely hit the athlon processor in the market in the future.
"The great Intel, at any time, will never bow down to a Chinese company that has only been established for three or four years. ”
Feliro took a sip of the red wine in his glass, opened the curtains, and in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the whole city was in front of him.
He let out a long sigh!
"What is frustrating is that in the face of Huaxin Technology, INTEL only has the advantage of manufacturing process? Our team, our technology accumulation, and our innovative spirit ......"
A sudden knock on the door disrupted Feliro's thoughts.
"Come in!"
Elizabeth was wearing a short black dress today, but the skirt didn't seem to fit well, and the slits always showed patches of white skin from time to time.
However, Feliro's gaze did not dare to be presumptuous, because behind Elizabeth, followed by Camaro, a person who would only make trouble in Intel, and someone who had to be there, of course, at least Feliro thought so, because American law did not allow him to fire this guy.
"Hi, Bob, I have something to tell you, oh no, maybe you don't want to hear that. ”
Feliro shrugged his shoulders and put down the empty glass in his hand.
"Sam, if you don't want to say it, I'm not going to force you, see? There are so many files on the desktop waiting for me to deal with. ”
Sam waved his hand and said, "Okay, Bob, inside information, AMD is going to launch its latest processor, the k6, have you heard of it? ”
Feliro sneered.
Sam was also bored, shrugged his shoulders, stood up and was about to go out, came to the door and turned around and said, "Bob, you know what? Last night, I spent three hours getting that girl, but what I didn't expect was that she turned out to be a doctor, and what was even more incredible was that she said that K6 would our Pentium two in the garbage, haha, you just take it as a joke, it's kind of funny, isn't it?"
Feliro really wanted to throw the teacup in his hand in the face of the person opposite. But he didn't dare, Intel was in enough trouble, and he didn't want to make the headlines tomorrow, 'Look! Intel's CEO used violence against the union president.' ’
"Idiot, if Intel goes bankrupt, you have to go to the relief center and queue up!"
Feliro stood up, he didn't have time to enjoy the scenery in front of him now, and said directly to Elizabeth: "Tell Bane that I need all the information about AMD k6, right away." Also, tell Ben Bryan that if Ben San doesn't break through, AMD, the hateful thief, will bite us in the ass. ”
It has been a year since it was beaten by Huaxin Technology, and if it is caught up by AMD again, it will undoubtedly be fatal to Intel.
IN FACT, AMD AND INTEL HAVE HAD A LOVE-HATE MIX FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES.
For a while, two good ones were like wearing a pair of pants, you licensed the patent to me, I licensed the patent to you, we are all good brothers, and we will make IBM money together.
But no matter how good a brother is, there are times when he turns his face.
Yes, interests, always interests.
In the era of 80386, Intel suddenly found that the 80386 processor produced by authorized AMD was actually higher than its own products, and IBM, the originator of the compatible machine, was a fool if it was cheap, and of course chose a AMD80386 that was both cheap and had good performance.
A rift between the two families arose.
And why AMD later gave up imitating Intel's CPUs.
The reason is not that AMD doesn't want to, but that although the integration is too high, AMD is embarrassed to find that the cost of copying Intel's processor is even higher than its own research and development.
Therefore, it has no hesitation to go to the road of independent research and development.
Until now...... K6……
Of course, this is not good news for Huaxin Technology!
This means that there are a lot more variables in the bag of AMD.
According to Wang Anran's concept, if he becomes the owner of AMD, he will naturally not use the ready-made American resources.
You know, in 2019, the design of CPUs is going to two different paths, but both are more mature.
First, it is natural that Jim Keller exercised, AMD Ryzen series, modular unit design ideas.
There are many advantages, but the biggest advantage is that the difficulty of research and development is low, the inheritability is high, the cost of research and development is low, and the performance is not weak.
There are also disadvantages, such as high cache and register capacity requirements, external memory controllers, and large memory latency, but these can be compensated for by more advanced manufacturing processes.
Second, of course, it is the overall design idea, which integrates the memory controller inside the CPU, and the bus structure, cache, and computing unit are unified separately.
One of the best is naturally the Core series, which is designed to be more difficult than modular design, and often moves the whole body.
By that time, Huaxin Technology developed the Core series, and AMD, like in its previous life, developed the Ryzen series, which was ......
Of course, AMD doesn't do much more than that.
When the country was founded in 1949, the country swept away the concessions left over from history, why did it leave Hong Kong Island and Macao.
It's not that they don't have this military strength, but that the great man has a far-sighted vision and leaves Hong Kong Island as a window to the West.
And Hong Kong Island has indeed played his role in a historical period, living up to the name of the Oriental Pearl.
For Wang Anran, AMD is a bridgehead to enter the West.
Having an American company at the front can naturally save a lot of trouble.
Even if the United States wants to make a stumbling block for Huaxin Technology, it must first consider the jobs of thousands of people in AMD.
Of course, the time is not yet ripe to buy AMD, or at least Goldman Sachs, for its part, has not yet found the perfect solution.
And Wang Anran, who presided over the development of the "Immortal Bird" project, had no time to think about other things.
This time, it was also a challenge for him.
Tualatin core, Wang Anran has only studied the relevant information, and then added some evaluation data in the AMD data room.
Yes, Wang Anran reviewed the whole process of the project and decided to dismiss it completely.
Develop a brand new architecture, once a legend, Tualatin!
