Chapter 505: Keep Going

Kang Yaoxiang deployed the SLOT1 interface patent authorized to AMD, and after Hu Yiting put down the phone, there was always a shadow cast by Intel in his heart, lingering like a nightmare.

Without him, only blame the toothpaste factory for being too powerful in its previous life, not only relying on the MMX multimedia instruction set and SLOT1 interface to kill the poor Cyrix, but also eradicating all other computer companies with X86 instruction set authorization and ready to move such as IBM, nexgen, IDT, SUN and the like, and in the later competition with agricultural enterprises, except for the slag Ben San and waste Ben Si, did not make any big mistakes, but after the slag incident and waste Ben Si, the toothpaste factory seriously repented, After changing his mind, he finally relied on the buckle to make a strong effort all the way to suppress the rising momentum of agricultural enterprises, and has been occupying the position of the market leader since then.

Hu Yiting knows that in the processor market, only by pulling Intel off the altar, eradicating his monopoly position, and creating a situation of scuffle between the heroes, can Chongguang have an opportunity to take advantage of and have a chance to ascend.

Therefore, Hu Yiting knows that he must not be soft, the toothpaste factory is the strongest opponent that he will continue to face in the next twenty years, and he must not let them ease up, as long as they can weaken the other party, even if it is worth paying a certain price.

For example, in the report of the processor division, it is analyzed that accepting the patent licensing exclusive contract of 10% of the sales price of Cerix and letting it monopolize the SLOT1 interface patent for five years is more cost-effective than licensing a number of patents, because the market is so large, once a number of manufacturers adopt the patent, a price war will be formed, and the income of Chongguang will be reduced in the end.

But Hu Yiting didn't care about the little dollar in front of him, what he wanted was a group of heroes to divide the world and fight to cause Intel's royal power to be shaken.

After careful consideration, Hu Yiting believes that it is time to develop the next generation of multimedia instruction sets to add fuel to the fire of the processor war, and at the same time, it is time to launch the next generation of Chongguang 486, the Pentium Chongguang CPU.

As for the research and development of the Pentium second-level processor to participate in the current CPU war, Hu Yiting is not willing to try for the time being, what he is afraid of is to startle the snake, once Intel, AMD, and Cyrix are alert, and the three American companies work together to suppress it, I am afraid that when the time comes, Chongguang will not say that there is no place to die, at least he will have to be half-killed, after all, China is a country with backward process equipment, once the three strong Americans work together to engage in themselves, I am afraid that even companies that dare to do CPU overseas foundries for Chongguang will not be found, you must know that TSMC 80% The shares are foreign-owned, the largest proportion of which are Americans, and Taiwan Union Power is no better, and it was even rumored that it would be delisted from the Taiwan stock market and listed in the United States instead. As for Samsung Electronics, after the 97 Asian financial crisis, more than half of the shares of the three mourners fell into the hands of American capital, and this year is the end of 96 years, and the day is not far away.

Thinking of the uncertainty of the future, Hu Yiting had a feeling of walking on thin ice and approaching the abyss, so he hurriedly began to write the next step of the research and development plan, until he was about to get off work and finally completed, and notified Ji Yingying to make copies and convey them to various departments, and hold an expanded meeting of the R&D backbone of Chongguang Company early tomorrow morning.

The next day, Hu Yiting sat at the front desk of the newly renovated large conference room that can accommodate at least 500 people on the top floor of Chongguang Company, and began to preside over the first enlarged meeting of Chongguang Company's R&D backbone.

According to the requirements of yesterday's notice, in addition to the personnel of the Chongguang board of directors in Beijing, all the technical backbones of Chongguang in Beijing, including ordinary engineers and even newly recruited R&D personnel, were also required to participate, and the large conference room was almost full.

Located in the expanded East Building, the Chongguang Conference Room is elegantly decorated and can be used to show movies in addition to meetings. The floor is 7 meters high, the ground is low in front of the ground and high in the back, a bit like a movie theater, but it is not so steep, the wall is wrapped with bright yellow solid wood grain wainscoting and sound-absorbing materials, hanging a group of cinema-level audio, the ceiling is embedded with hundreds of spotlights, the soft light is bright like the Milky Way, the ground is covered with a red carpet, the front desk is not raised, and the barrier-free flat structure is adopted, but a layer of brown carpet is added.

Ji Yingying, as the host, stood next to the podium on the left side of the rostrum, and said into the microphone: "Are you all here?"

The full hall of employees laughed, some of them were all talking, some were silent, and some were explaining Ji Yingying's identity to the people next to them, because many employees were in research and development all day long, and they were relatively unfamiliar with colleagues in other departments.

Ji Yingying smiled and said softly: "It should have arrived, and if you don't come, you won't wait, today Chongguang held the first R&D backbone enlarged meeting, and the topic is mainly for Chongguang's next R&D task to arrange, and now we have Mr. Hu to speak."

Hundreds of people immediately quieted down, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were aimed at Hu Yiting.

Hu Yiting naturally did not have stage fright in front of his employees, he sat behind the temporary lectern in the center with his hands crossed, and propped his elbows on the table to start his speech in front of the microphone.

Hu Yiting got straight to the point: "I won't be verbose, today is to arrange the task, the first one, Chongguang is now starting to work on the research and development of a new generation of processors, the research and development code name "Unity-3DNo!", the Chinese code name "Zhongzhi", the will of Zhongzhi! The performance requirements are more than Intel Pentium processors, that is, more than the level of Cyrix6X86, this project is responsible for the processor division, and the core research and development work is directly led by me. ”

As he spoke, he operated the desktop computer and used the projector to display the relevant text on the big screen behind him.

The employees in the hall nodded slightly when they heard this, and everyone had long been looking forward to it, hoping that the company could go further after the Chongguang 486 processor and develop the Pentium processor, and now it is true, but I just think this name is a little strange, but who is the boss? Single-handedly made the big bull of Chongguang 486, a legend who is so talented that he can't look at it directly, he says what he calls it.

The employees of the processor division are holding their breath in the audience, a little nervous, and even a little apprehensive, they have just understood the design of Chongguang 486 not long ago, and have carried out pre-research for the next generation of products, and now they have felt completely sure, and the Chongguang Youying Overlord multimedia instruction set is implanted into it. As for the computing core of the new generation of processors, they don't think it's a big problem, Hu Yiting's previous design of the X86 processing core has opened a door for everyone, and there are so many new IP designs and computing structures, which make them feel that as long as they are slightly improved, they will not lag behind compared with Intel's latest P6 computing core.

Hu Yiting looked at everyone and smiled kindly, the reason why he was so named is because the processor of Chongguang comes from the Beijing Volkscaria Unity86-3 in the previous life, because the built-in instruction set of the product is not Intel's MMX, but AMD's more powerful first-generation multimedia instruction set for MMX3DNo!, so there is such a Chinese and English codename, which is to commemorate the Beizhong series processor and AMD's 3DNo that were stillborn because of their own appearance in this time and space! Instruction set, as the saying goes, people die and leave their names, Hu Yiting feels that he has an obligation to keep these two names in order to pay tribute to the R&D engineers who have worked hard for this.

"The second R&D task, Chongguang will start to develop sound card chips according to the AC97 standard. ”

There was a commotion in the audience, and the Chongguang Microelectronics multimedia project team began to take the lead in applauding, and Wu Shihuan was even more excited.

Before the multimedia project team in Hu Yiting's deployment, basically around the VCD, DVD, repeater, MP3 these four projects around, after eating Hu Yiting's design, the chip and PCB public version design to improve, but suffering from Hu Yiting's design is too perfect, the more they understand it, the more they feel that there is no need to improve, can only expand the product type on its basis, to meet the needs of different customers.

They are 100% convinced of Hu Yiting's technique, and they feel that the boss is a peerless genius, and he is the kind of existence like a sword immortal on the top of Huashan Mountain.

Wu Shihuan thought that the new project was not a day or two, and he proposed the development of the AC97 standard sound card chip.

Because the early ISA sound card due to the low degree of integration, a large number of components were scattered on the sound card, and later with the development of technology and process level, a single-chip sound card appeared, and only one chip can complete all the functions of the sound card, but because the digital part and the analog part of the sound card are integrated together, it is difficult to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on the analog part, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the ISA sound card is not ideal. So in June this year, Intel, Creative Labs, Analog Device, NS and Yamaha, five major companies, jointly proposed a new idea of chip-level PC audio source structure, that is, the AC97 standard, the full name of Audio Codec97.

After getting the standard, Wu Shihuan took the multimedia project team to carefully study and found that this is not the best technology of Chongguang! Hu Yiting has three different processing schemes for audio in VCD, DVD and MP3 chip design, and if you take it out and make a slight modification and supplement, it is a sound card chip that is the best!

So today, Hu Yiting arranged this project, Wu Shihuan was so excited, he felt that this project was nine out of ten.

Hu Yiting looked sideways at Wu Shihuan in the audience, smiled at him, and then continued: "Finally, the third project, I announce that Chongguang has started the research and development of a new generation of multimedia instruction sets, codenamed 3Dno! and SSE. ”

After speaking, he looked at the employees who were in turmoil in the audience and smiled: "Yes, these are two different sets of instructions. ”
