Chapter 124: Cyrix Processor Launch

PS: Heartfelt thanks for the "I'm just a dog" tip!!

Thank you to all the brothers who voted for this book! Thank you so much!!

Please use the recommendation and monthly pass in your hand to get angry with this book!!

Sincerely!!

Under the watchful eyes of more than 100 people in the venue, Fang Peng used this imagination motherboard with Intel's public design as quickly as possible to replace the original Cyrix public design motherboard made by VIA.

In order to be compatible with Intel motherboards, Cyrix's 6X86 processor uses the same Socket7 interface as Intel, so there is no pressure to plug it into Intel's motherboard.

Since it is necessary to show the performance and compare it with Intel's products, it must convince everyone, so Fang Peng did not put the motherboard into the chassis, but simply put it on the table and exposed it directly in front of everyone.

So on the long table used for the display in front of the large conference room, two motherboards with almost identical Intel public design are placed side by side at this moment, and they are both connected to the same monitor, power supply, graphics card, sound card, and hard disk.

As the two computers turned on, Tariq, the president of the Asia Pacific region, called Malmö, the president of the China department, and the two of them carried out the same operation almost at the same time, opening the text jiàn folder, creating a new Wen jiàn, and a series of operations.

Everyone in the venue could see through the monitors that the latest Windows 95 operating system runs smoothly on two computers with Intel and Cyrix processors, respectively, and there seems to be no difference in responsiveness.

Tariq and Malmö then started running a CPU speed test software called Turbo-test.

The first test item chosen by the two was the so-called integer arithmetic performance that Cyrix was focusing on this time, which they were proud of.

After three minutes of operation, the computer with the Intel 100 MHz Pentium processor scored 477.5 points, while the Cyrix's 6X86-100 MHz processor actually reached 491.8! 3% higher than the Intel Pentium 100 MHz processor.

With the two scores displayed on the screens of the two computers, the venue immediately resounded with warm applause, which lasted for a long time!

Cyrix's agents and employees were convinced, nodding their heads and approving.

Of course, this scene made Tariq extremely proud. I feel so happy.

Tariq held the microphone in his hand and smiled at everyone: "The facts are in front of you, and the score proves that this is a great product."

But I know that you may still have doubts about floating-point performance. I can tell you that the floating-point performance of this 6X86 100 MHz processor is equivalent to that of a 60 MHz Pentium! But our price is about the same as that of a 60 MHz Pentium, and it costs only 2,200 yuan in the Chinese market, which is half cheaper than the 4,500 yuan Pentium 100 MHz processor!"

As soon as these words came out, the venue once again burst into warm applause. Everyone understands that this is a powerful tool with a very high cost performance! In an underdeveloped country like China, it has a very strong market competitiveness!

Tariq smiled and nodded to Malmö, and the two ran the test again, this time choosing floating-point performance.

Before the test results came out, Tariq stood in front of the stage with a microphone and talked eloquently to the people in the venue: "The floating-point computing performance of the Pentium 60 MHz processor is about 78% of that of the 100 MHz processor, and after the results come out, we can see if the floating-point computing power of the 6x86 100 MHz processor is equivalent to 78% of the same frequency Pentium processor." ”

Employees of Cyrix China. And the agents who came from various cities were all smiling and looking confidently at the monitors of the two computers on the long table.

Standing on the stage, Tariq continued: "We admit that our floating-point performance is indeed a little lower than that of the Pentium on the same frequency processor, but like I said at the beginning, unless you are a CAD and 3D graphics designer, you simply can't have any demanding requirements for floating-point operations!"

If the Pentium 60 MHz processor can meet your requirements, then the 6X86 100 MHz processor will only do better, because our integer arithmetic performance is even stronger!

On this 6x86 CPU, we use a double seven-stage pipeline for Cyrix. Excellent branch prediction and out-of-order execution, ......"

Before Tariq could say his next sentence, he heard an uproar in the venue!

Hundreds of people's eyes widened, all staring directly at the monitor screen next to him!

Everyone's expressions were incredible. Some of them's expressions changed to contempt and disdain in an instant, and some of them put their fingers to their lips mockingly and whistled. People even started talking loudly from ear to ear!

Startled, Tariq turned around and looked at the two monitors.

When he saw the test scores on the screen, he was stunned. Unable to speak with his mouth open.

I saw that the computer using the Intel Pentium 100 MHz processor had a score of 326.1 on the monitor, and the computer using the Cyrix6X86 processor had a score of 433.5 on the monitor!

Tariq was able to become the president of Cyrix Asia Pacific, and of course he was very shrewd, and his first instinct told him that someone in the Chinese company wanted to cheat on the score, so he changed the software!

Tariq almost burst out crying, and shouted angrily in his heart: "Sons of bitches, bastards, you bastards, stinky rascals, stupid, stupid!!......, stupid

…… No! No, no!! it's not stupid! It's someone who wants to deliberately show my appearance! Otherwise, I'll definitely be notified in advance!"

Thinking of this, Tariq's mood instantly turned from sadness to rage, a pair of blue eyes with deep sunken eye sockets opened round under the brown and yellow eyebrows, and a beard stood up, glaring at the face of Malmö, the president of the Chinese branch, as if he wanted to kill someone.

He was tempted to ask, "Who told you to do that?"

But in the end, he swallowed the question, after all, he couldn't afford to lose that person when he started infighting in front of hundreds of people.

Tariq turned around and faced the people in the venue, and said as calmly and sincerely as possible: "It must be a computer malfunction, please wait a minute, we will investigate immediately." ”

With that, Tariq slammed the microphone into Malmo's arms, who were also stunned.

"Come with me!" he ordered through gritted teeth.

Malmo wasn't stupid either, and like Tariq, he suspected that someone was deliberately trying to trick himself into a big mess in front of his boss.

He can imagine that tomorrow the front-page headlines of the computer industry newspapers may be published with headlines like "Scandal! The US National Semiconductor Corporation Blatantly Falsified!" and his future in the company will be ruined!

Malmo immediately turned his anger at the technical director Fang Peng, and whispered to him: "Fang! I need you to give me an explanation!!!

At this moment, Fang Peng, the beads of sweat on his head fell eagerly, he knew that the crisis in front of him was related to his reputation for the rest of his life, and he would have to bear the infamy of a fraudster for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he rushed to the front of the stage regardless of it, looked at the two computers, and finally found something unusual!

"I found out where the problem was!!

This motherboard is not a public version of Intel!!

This imaginary motherboard has an extra chip next to the Northbridge chip!!

Fu*~*ck!!!

Who did this!!"

Fang Peng's heart seemed to be trampled by thousands of grass and mud horses, and he turned to shout to everyone in the venue: "I'm sorry everyone!

It's a misunderstanding!

This motherboard is not Intel's public design!

We'll switch to an Intel motherboard right away! retest !!" (To be continued.) )
