Wang Anran decided to integrate two memory controllers in the Northbridge chip to play the routine of the demon board ASRock, as a test of DDR memory to the forefront.

However, before that, it is necessary to determine the type of socket of DDR memory and the storage control chip on the memory module.

The plan of the previous life has been proven by the market to be the best plan, and modification will only add to the problem.

However, after the standard is formulated, how to promote it is a big problem, although there are many members of the DDR memory architecture committee, even IBM has become one of the members.

But the embarrassing thing is that none of the memory manufacturers such as Micron, Samsung, Toshiba, and Fujitsu have joined the committee.

In fact, although Huaxin Technology is the emperor of DDR memory, none of his subordinates listen to him.

Only give up benefits in exchange for support.

Huaxin Technology announced that it has conditionally opened DDR memory technology, as long as it is willing to join the DDR memory architecture committee, Huaxin Technology is willing to license it to use DDR memory technology for free.

As soon as the news came out, the most shocking thing was Intel, and Huaxin Technology finally got involved in the formulation of memory standards, which made Intel anxious.

In fact, since the release of DDR video memory, Intel has demonstrated several memory standards in detail, and now, they have found a key target to promote.

That's Rambus DRAM memory.

Rambus was founded in 1990, and like many high-tech companies in the United States, it was founded by two technicians, Dr. Mick and Dr. Mike.

A month after the company was founded, it released a new process for manufacturing memory, and soon after, it launched Rambus DRAM (RD for short) memory.

Thanks to the excellent workmanship, RD memory has excellent performance and stability, which is supported by Toshiba, NEC, Fujitsu, and even Nintendo uses RD memory for the game consoles it develops.

Compared with DDR memory, RD memory already has a certain mass base.

However, the disadvantages of RD memory are also obvious, the new process adds two metal connection layers to the PN stage of the transistor, which brings dozens of key process improvements, and the consequence is that the cost of RD memory per capacity is significantly increased.

In addition, Rambus has never given up on giving up patent royalties, which makes the cost of RD memory a big obstacle to promotion.

This is the third time that Ferrero has interviewed Rambus CEO Mick.

Elizabeth's face was dripping when she saw Feliro walk out of Rambus.

Knowing the results of this effort, Mr. Feliro was certainly not satisfied.

Sure enough, as soon as he got into the car, Feliro shook his hand and threw the briefcase on the back seat of the car, and said with a fierce expression: "A group of short-sighted clowns, a group of people who only know how to shout patents, patents, and bring dollars, can they be sober, RD memory is even the most perfect memory in the world, if no one uses it, it is no different from garbage." ”

Elizabeth picked up the briefcase as she listened, sorted out the contents and put them in her hand, and said, "Mr. Feliro, or Intel can consider buying Rambus and then kicking these two clowns out, and Intel can help them make the perfect decision." ”

Feliro shook his head and said, "Elizabeth, Intel has no extra money. ”

…………

Embarrassing, don't even give it for free.

Three days after the announcement of Huaxin Technology's opening of DDR memory, no memory manufacturer signed up, which made Wang Anran a little frustrated.

I didn't want to come, I didn't expect to come.

Nintendo decided to use DDR memory and ripper graphics chips on the next generation of PS consoles, but Nintendo's request made Wang Anran secretly shake his head.

"Wang Sang, we ask Huaxin Technology to license the ripper display chip technology to us, and for this, Nintendo is willing to pay the patent licensing fee that satisfies your company. ”

"Mr. Murakami, Huaxin Technology can directly provide display chips, I think it's simpler. ”

Murakami shook his head and said: "Wang Sang, I'm sorry, our engineers' assessment result is that the TSMC foundry process is too backward, and the ripper display chip should have better performance." ”

This is a hard injury, Wang Anran was choked.

At this moment, although the island country has been hurt by the US-Japan semiconductor agreement, its chip manufacturing capacity is still very strong, and even compared with the United States, it is even better.

In the 800nm manufacturing process, Toshiba and NEC have mature processes, and there is naturally no problem in manufacturing better display chips.

But you little devil, Huaxin Technology authorizes you to manufacture, so Huaxin Technology's graphics card technology is not clear in front of you.

In three or five months, with your strong R&D capabilities, you will bypass the patents of Huaxin Technology and redevelop new display chips.

Then he got rid of Huaxin Technology and went it alone, at that time Wang Anran could only watch with his eyes wide open, and scolded MMP at most.

Thinking of this, Wang Anran said with certainty: "Mr. Murakami, there is no convention in your opinion, I think, on your PS game console, Huaxin Technology's current display chip can already meet your needs." ”

"Mr. Wang, isn't Huaxin Technology going to promote DDR memory standards, if you authorize Nintendo to use Huaxin Technology's display chip technology.

In return, Nintendo will lobby the memory manufacturers of the island nation to support your standards, and you should be well aware that the island nation is world-class when it comes to computer storage. ”

Wang Anran naturally knows that just a few years ago, the storage devices produced by the islanders even occupied more than 80% of the market in the United States, and even Intel had no choice but to cut off the storage department with serious losses.

Otherwise, the Americans would not have come up with a "US-Japan semiconductor agreement," imposing 100 percent tariffs on the memory of island countries, and demanding that Japan open its domestic market and foreign products occupy at least 20 percent of the market.

Just when the island country did not come back to its senses, the little brother next to him, the rise of the South Korean semiconductor industry, with ultra-low tariffs, replaced the island country's memory industry in the United States, leaving a market gap.

The island nation's semiconductor industry will be completely slid into the abyss in the coming decades......

So...... Nakamura is completely fooled, and Wang Anran is also very suspicious that a game console builder has the ability to persuade memory companies in island countries to support Huaxin Technology's DDR memory standard.

Thinking of this, Wang Anran shook his head and said, "Mr. Nakamura, I'm sorry, Huaxin Technology will not authorize Nintendo to produce Ripper graphics cards......"

After listening to this, Nakamura shook his head and said: "Wang Sang, I hope you will think about it again, if Nintendo's PS host is equipped with Huaxin Technology's graphics card, it will have a positive significance for the promotion of the ripper graphics card."

And in the market, the ripper graphics card is not the only one, the ATI RD series graphics card has a performance that is not weaker than the ripper graphics card, I think...... We are here to help you. ”
