Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Clarion Call for Attack
At Intel's test lab in California, people are wearing dust-free clothing and testing several microcomputers.
One of the tall and thin men said to his supervisor: "Dr. Cameron, the current test results show that Huaxin Technology's 107 display core does have powerful floating point computing and graphics processing capabilities, but compared to the display core, I am more impressed by the excellent performance of DDR memory." ”
Cameron frowned slightly, and took the report from John Krauss's hand, which was detailed in the test data.
The physique of the GF107 display core used for the test is still good, and it can run stably at a frequency of 146MHZ, and its actual performance is 30% higher than the data of the public version of Huaxin Technology.
In fact, increasing the frequency of public versions is also a way for manufacturers to obtain excess profits.
For example, the packaging price of the GF107's chip plus public circuit diagram is $350, and the suggested retail price of the graphics card is $499.
If there is no brand premium, then the price of the public version, you can't exceed $499, otherwise, most manufacturers don't want to be scolded by the people who eat melons as black-hearted capitalists.
So how to make high profits?
Then it is necessary to screen the chips provided by chip manufacturers, overclock those with good physique, and release this version of the high-frequency graphics card, the performance is significantly ahead of the public version of the graphics card, and the price can naturally be raised.
In addition, it can also be piled up, some of the video memory that is not too valuable compared to the display chip, and the business will dilute the processing power of the display chip when promoting, and use the large video memory graphics card as a selling point, which also confuses a large group of people who eat melons.
Of course, this is just a digression, Intel will not think about how to sell boards, for Intel's chief strategy consultant Cameron, what he has to do now is to accurately assess the impact of this graphics card from the East on Intel's future development.
The testing of DDR memory has caused some trouble for Intel's engineers, who have to build a platform for the DDR memory specification on the PC, because Intel is eager to know how the DDR memory behaves on the PC.
Sometimes, the higher the frequency of memory, the stronger the performance, but the frequency is not high, the performance is certainly not strong, the most intuitive data is how much data can be exchanged and written with the CPU per second.
The experiment is simple, but there are really few companies around the world that can do such things as building platforms.
When it comes to specialized memory controllers, this brushes off nearly 100% of the company.
The results of the test were disheartening to Cameron.
Thanks to the excellent dynamic storage architecture and dual-loop design, the data of DDR memory is nearly twice that of EDO memory at the same frequency, and the performance is doubled after the frequency is increased.
This is an excellent dynamic storage, if it can be used on the Pentium 586 computer, it can bring more than 15% performance improvement to the whole machine, and the whole machine will have no bottleneck in the memory area.
And at the current speed of microcomputer development, at least for five years, the performance of microcomputers will not be affected by memory.
The terrible reality is that after studying the information in his hand for three days, Cameroon wrote a line in the last column of his report.
"Embrace it, or destroy it......"
............
And now Wang Anran, in Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island, rarely lives the life that a rich man should have.
Enjoying life is also the meaning of life.
On the chartered yacht, Wang Anran lay leisurely on the roof, sunbathing.
Xu Chengtao walked up in a bikini and said: "Mr. Wang, other people's yachts are driven to the offshore to enjoy the scenery of the sea, why is our yacht just parked on the dock, is it really good?"
Wang Anran drank orange juice and said with a smile: "Okay, of course it's good." ”
I can tell Xu Chengtao that the real reason is that I can't stand the bumps of the wind and waves the most, in fact, there is such a meaning.
Anyway, on the yacht, it doesn't matter where the yacht stops.
But what is eye-catching today is that Xu Chengtao, who is wearing a bikini, perfectly shows off her S-shaped figure.
This made Wang Anran's hormones soar violently unconsciously.
Slightly hard, show respect!
Then he turned sideways in embarrassment.
Embarrassed.
"Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, by the way, Cheng Tao, please bring my big brother!"
Xu Chengtao shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly the waves rolled and were dazzling.
"Mr. Wang, didn't you say that you didn't want anyone to find you......? Didn't bring any communication tools. ”
Wang Anran said in a daze: "Then, Cheng Tao, can you trouble you and help me get a glass of ice water......
............
Dean Lu made N phone calls, but none of them got through.
"Bastard, this kid is floating, and he won't even answer the teacher's call. ”
Lu Wei hung up the phone angrily and came to the laboratory, this time he brought two master's students and two doctoral students, as for the matter of the closed disciples, he had long forgotten about it.
Situ Xinyan took the experimental data and asked Professor Lu about plasma doping.
"Mr. Lu, the test results of the spectrometer show that the doping of plasma oxide does have extraordinary immersion ability, but because of the accuracy of the equipment, we cannot accurately control the time and continuous effect observation of doping intervention. ”
Lu Wei took the experimental report, took out reading glasses from his arms, and after half an hour, he said: "Plasma doping does have research value, but how to design reasonable experiments under limited experimental conditions is also a science."
Situ Xinyan, you can take this topic as the direction of your three-year graduate school. ”
Situ Xinyan shook his head and said, "Teacher Lu, I feel that this topic is too big for me......
"Young man, what are you afraid of, look back, the EDA software on the computer, which was designed by a student of Qingdao University, and was decided this year, the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, he, like you, is also a graduate student I bring......"
"Teacher Lu, who is he? ”
Feng Jin was admitted to another school, and he was not clear about what had happened in Qing University in the past year.
He Miao said: "His name is Wang Anran, and he is still our senior brother, one year older than me." ”
Lu Wei shook his head, didn't speak again, and walked straight to his experimental table.
Xindao said that his student is not only designing an excellent chip assistance software, but now the limelight has been in the limelight over there.
Compared with foreign media, domestic media are obviously not confident enough.
In foreign media, after competing to report on Huaxin Technology, and then make a positive conclusion.
The mainstream media in China has put Huaxin Technology on the headlines of the news with the pride of the nation.
And Rebus, who was far away in Hefei, put down the newspaper in his hand.
"Mr. Wang, Jiang Yan is ready, and now is about to start blowing the horn of attacking the international market. ”
