Chapter 173: The Processor Architecture Controversy!!

For the Shenzhen hotel project, Li Zetian handed it over to his father-in-law Yu Jingshan to be responsible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He himself was mainly responsible for the construction of the Ant Factory.

Flamingo consoles will be developed in less than a few months, and with the power of the flamingo consoles and the classicism of the games, there is no doubt that they will be popular all over the world, and at that time, it will be necessary to have a strong production capacity of factories that can continuously produce game consoles, game controllers, game cartridges, ray guns, keyboards, and so on.

The Ant Factory currently has 200,000 square meters, which is a large area that Flamingo may not need so many places. Li Zetian plans to divide Ant Factory into multiple regions, with Flamingo in one region, Sun Computer Systems in one region, Galaxy Network in one region, and Netflix in one region...... Obviously, in the future, the area of the 200,000-square-meter ant factory is not enough, and the factory needs to be expanded!

At present, many of the developed products are about to succeed, and the construction of the ant factory is imminent.

There's a lot more to be done, including building a plant, buying equipment, recruiting and training employees, and so on.

Of course, Li Zetian will not do everything, the regimental company is so big, it is enough to transfer some employees to take charge of the ant factory.

On March 7, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States.

At this moment, Michael Jackson's album has set off a national craze, with phenomenal sales, from the release of the album on March 1 to now, in just one week, the "Thriller" album has sold 2.05 million copies, shocking major record labels.

Almost all major entertainment newspapers in the United States have reported on Michael Jackson.

Hollywood Daily: "'Thriller' is Violet Records' first album for Michael Jackson, and as soon as it came out, it immediately swept other record albums in the United States and topped the charts!"

Los Angeles Daily News: "Violet Records is a great success, Michael Jackson's new album 'Thriller' is a huge success!"

CNN: "The three most popular songs in Thriller were written by Chronos Li, which shows that Chronos Li's musical talent is unparalleled. It is said that he also wrote 10 songs on his wife's album, and those 10 songs are on the same level as the three songs on the "Thriller" album? If so, it would be terrifying!"

“……”

During this time, the Netflix rental and sales stores scattered throughout the United States were always overcrowded, and the turnover increased significantly. Although many people are here to buy Michael Jackson's new album, they are all here, why don't they buy or rent some tapes to watch back?

Popular products can bring users into the store, thus prompting the store's business to become popular. Whether it's a brick-and-mortar store or an online store, the principle is the same.

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu got off the plane, because they went to Violet Records first, Li Xueyu was excited when she saw the two of them, "Mr. and Mrs. Li, "Thriller" is so popular, Violet Records is an instant hit!"

"What's exciting, it's nothing!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "When Michael Jackson's MV is completed, then it's hot! Jackson is filming the MV now, right?"

"Yes. Li Xueyu nodded.

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

Li Zetian and a group of people went to the MV studio, at this moment, Jackson was filming "Billie Jean", I saw him singing and dancing on the stage, and the magical dance steps made Li Zetian's blood surge, and even his body involuntarily moved with the rhythm.

I'll go, on who is the best at dancing, and the wall doesn't support only Jackson!!

Li Zetian was surprised, the live version is ten times stronger than watching it from TV!

Everyone present was shocked.

After the shooting of the MV was completed, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

At this time, Jackson found that Li Zetian and others were coming, and immediately came over to say hello.

Li Zetian nodded and praised: "The dancing is very good, Jackson! After the MV of this song is filmed, it will be sent to MTV TV station for broadcasting! Try to expose it on MTV, the more well-known you are, the more records will be sold!"

With Jackson's MV, the MTV network will be accelerated!

"Hmm. Jackson nodded.

"Alright, you guys go on, I won't bother. ”

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu smiled and said goodbye to them at this time.

When he got home, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zetian made a cup of coffee, sat on a chair on the balcony and blew the wind, resting while reading the latest magazines. At this time, he noticed an article: "In early January 1980, two scholars, Patterson and Ditzel, published a seminal paper entitled "Overview of Reduced Instruction Set Computers", which comprehensively proposed the design idea of reduced instruction set. Subsequently, a graduate student at the University of Berkeley designed the first RISC-I processor based on this theory, which is much simpler than the already popular CISC processor, and the design effort is much lower, but its overall functional performance is comparable to that of the CISC processor. Since then, the direction of processor design has been developed in these two general directions, one is the CISC complex instruction set processor, and the other is the RISC reduced instruction set processor!"

Seeing this, Li Zetian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the past, the most famous CISC complex instruction set processor company was Intel Corporation, and the most famous RISC Compact Instruction Set processor company was ARM Corporation. The x86 processor represented by Intel occupies more than 90% of the PC market, and RISC products represented by ARM also occupy more than 90% of the mobile market.

Compared with CISC, RISC has shown a powerful charm in high-performance computers, which has attracted users and the industry! For example, the graphics workstations of SGI Silicon Map in the past generation were based on MIPS and were extremely fast, IBM's Power series was the first choice for supercomputers, and DEC Alpha architecture processors were all representative works of RISC.

Sun Computer Systems also developed a graphics workstation, and RISC processors were the best choice!!

Intel's x86 architecture is based on CISC, which has many problems in itself, and its efficiency and development direction are problematic, and its performance has not been able to catch up with the RISC processors at the top, so the Intel company in the previous life has not been able to reach the most fertile server and supercomputer market for a long time. However, after studying RISC diligently, Intel began to boldly introduce RISC design ideas into CISC-based x86, adding some additional "translation layers". The CPU is still x86 on the outside, but the internal operation is more similar to the streamlined RISC, so the CPU performance has been greatly improved, and the process of counterattack has been completed. Subsequently, x86 began to shine in the server market, and even began to occupy the vast majority of the market share, achieving the myth of CISC defeating RISC. However, in the mobile computing market, Intel has not been able to replicate such a myth. The high-performance market is not very sensitive to power consumption, performance is the most important metric, and Intel can threaten its opponents and win with its strong R&D capabilities. But the mobile computing market is extremely sensitive to power consumption, and Intel has tried several times to get into it without success. ARM is everywhere in this field, from mobile phones to tablets, ARM has repeatedly succeeded with its ultra-high performance-per-watt......

At this time, Li Zetian threw the magazine on the table, then stood up, walked into the room quickly, and picked up the phone......

PS: I'm a little tired today, this chapter is 2500 words, although there are only 4 chapters today, but there are 12000 words. I still owe one chapter, and I'll make it up tomorrow. Anyway, there are already 1053 votes for the monthly ticket, and 1200 has to add another one, so let's vote crazy! In addition, don't stop the recommended votes, don't stop!!
