Henry smiled wryly, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and changed into clothes.

"People will be cranky when they are free, but it is better to find something to do......"

Last time, Henry asked Qualcomm to come to the UK to buy the ARM chip design department of Acorn Computer Company, although Acorn Computer attached great importance to the department, but in the face of Qualcomm's offer of five million pounds, it instantly agreed.

Now the mainstream is CISC complex instruction set processors, especially Intel's chips are the best-selling!

ARM is based on RISC reduced instruction set, the chip processor designed is a niche in the current market, and few companies use it!

However, Acorn Computer Company's development of RISC was also a reluctant move.

In 1984, Acorn intended to use Motorola's 16-bit chip, but found it too slow and expensive. "A £500 machine can't use a £100 CPU!" they turned to Intel for design information for the 80286 chip, but they were refused, so they were forced to develop their own.

Subsequently, the RISC reduced instruction set was designed, and the RISC-based processor has relatively simple instructions, so the power consumption is small, the price is cheap, and it is especially suitable for mobile devices. But the computer side is hiccuping, and those who are suppressed by the CISC can't raise their heads. Therefore, Acorn Computer Company is at most well-known in the United Kingdom, and is a second-rate company in the world.

Acorn Computer Company was originally expected to be reorganized in November this year to establish ARM! Apple has previously contacted Acorn Computer Company and will invest 1.5 million pounds in ARM when it officially reorganizes and establishes ARM, and chip manufacturer VLSI will also invest 250,000 pounds, while Acorn itself will invest 1.5 million pounds in intellectual property rights and some engineers!

But now Qualcomm has cut off the beard and invested 5 million pounds, which is 1.75 million pounds higher than the valuation of the upcoming ARM company.

CISC looms over the land, and the future of ARM is uncertain.

Faced with the temptation of five million pounds, Acorn Computer Company agreed without much thought!

Acorn Computer develops computers in its job, and the main reason for developing the RISC reduced instruction set computer is that there is no money. If he has money, he won't use Intel's chips? Most of the world's computer manufacturers are using Intel's chips, so it naturally makes sense, and it must be Intel's chips that are good, so they will use them. Acorn Computer is a poor company, so it will be careful to develop its own RISC reduced instruction set computer. However, the performance is far worse than the CISC, and it is simply impossible to compete with the computers that use the CISC chip processor!

As a result, Acorn Computer Company's performance declined, and even later, it simply gave up developing computers and concentrated on the development of ARM companies. But if Acorn Computer can get a huge sum of money, they will be able to develop a computer based on the CISC processor. Computers are very hot at the moment, and Acorn Computer will definitely not give up developing computers and keep ARM.

This is a very simple multiple-choice question.

So, Acorn Computer finally decided to sell the ARM chip design division to Qualcomm.

Qualcomm bought the ARM chip design department and immediately established ARM Inc., which is temporarily located near the University of Cambridge in London, and will only be a branch in the future, and the headquarters will be moved to Silicon Valley in the United States. When Henry came to ARM, it happened that people from Apple were there. Acorn Computer sold ARM to Qualcomm, and Apple's partnership with Acorn Computer moved to Qualcomm.

Apple needed chip design support from ARM for its Newton, the world's first handheld computer (PDA), which is still in the development stage. Apple has high hopes and great ambitions, and wants to change the entire personal computer market through Newton's "change of dynasty" and break Apple's current predicament.

As far as Henry knows, Apple has hired strong foreign aid in order to develop Newton, and its electronic design and manufacturing are all in charge of Sharp in Japan!

After the development of Newton, it has features such as touch screen, infrared, handwriting input (and even cursive writing). IF IT EVOLVES AGAIN, IT WILL BECOME AN IPAD...... In fact, this Newton is the prototype of the IPAD!

However, Newton did not sell well at all, and Apple quickly stopped the production of the product in desperation. But after more than three years of hard work, Apple has lost a lot of money, and it is almost on the verge of bankruptcy!

When Henry passed by Apple's people, he smiled unconsciously, and said in his heart, don't be nervous, brothers, don't worry, ARM will definitely cooperate with you, hehe......

If you don't cooperate, how can you pit Apple?

Newton is a big hole!!

Henry came to the office of the CEO of ARM, and the current CEO of ARM was George Moore, the former head of the ARM department of Acorn Computer Company, and Henry met him for the first time. I saw that he was tall and thin, with short hair, a high nose bridge, sunken eyes, and a somewhat ugly face.

Henry sat down and listened to his debriefing on ARM. ARM has more than 30 employees, including only 12 chip design engineers, but each chip design engineer is a top talent in chip design, especially good at RISC chip architecture design!

At present, ARM's chip design in RISC, it ranks second, and no one dares to rank first!

In terms of RISC chip design, ARM is the world's most authoritative company!

In addition, ARM has many basic patents of RISC, and others who want to develop chip processors based on RISC must be authorized by ARM!

Patents have made Qualcomm, and patents will also make ARM!!

The most important reason why Henry emphasized the need to acquire ARM is that he likes ARM's patents!

After listening to George Moore's report, Henry nodded, and said: "At present, although the RISC chip market is sluggish, RISC chips are efficient, fast responding, and low power consumption, I think RISC will have more development prospects than CISC, especially in mobile devices, such as mobile phones, RISC is far better than CISC." Although RISC is now widely used in the field of computers, CISC is a lot of complex instructions to win by quantity. Our RISC, on the other hand, is a reduced instruction, and the number is small, and it cannot compare with CISC for a while. However, the more CISC develops, the more bloated it becomes, the higher the cost will be, and RISC will become more powerful after optimization and improvement, but the cost will be much lower than CISC!"

Henry paused and said: "In the future, the chip processor will be the world of RISC and the world of ARM, which I am very sure !!."

George Moore was stunned, although he was the CEO of ARM and had full confidence in ARM, he did not dare to conclude that ARM would definitely become a chip hegemon in the future......

Now, Intel has gradually become a giant in the industry, as if it is an unattainable mountain in front of ARM! To say that ARM can beat Intel, George Moore has no confidence at all......

Who can cut through the fog that obscures the future and see through decades at a glance? Henry is the only one in the world!!

Smartphones, smart watches and countless other smart terminal products, basically will use the ARM architecture chip design, in the embedded field, ARM is the king!! and other intelligent era is coming, ARM punches Intel, kicks AMD, awesome no, no......

Henry saw that George Moore did not quite believe his words, nor did he explain. If he really believed, Henry would have to wonder if he had also traveled back from the future......
