After Lin Qi returned to Hong Kong from Europe, Yung Jian came to visit him with two strangers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two men claimed to be researchers from the Xi'an Lishan Research Institute, and they didn't know how to know that the new venture electronics company had developed an 8-bit CPU, whose performance was far ahead of the world, so they visited the door to try to obtain authorization for the production of chips.

"X8 chip is only an 8-bit chip, although the performance is more powerful in similar products, but after all, it is an 8-bit CPU, compared with the current mainstream 16-bit CPU, the performance has lagged behind, and it is designed like this, the performance has been mined to the extreme, there is not much room for improvement. Do you really want such a chip?" Lin Qi said with a pretended surprise.

"Mr. Lin, let's be honest, even if you give us the world's most advanced CPU, with our domestic industrial level, we can't produce it. The young man named Zhao Xuan said, "The X8 chip can be processed with a 5-micron process, and the actual performance is stronger than the chip of the 2~3-micron process, which is the most suitable cheap high-performance chip for our national conditions!"

"The country needs advanced performance, not too many computers that are not lagging behind the world, and also urgently need CPU chips with independent intellectual property rights! Another middle-aged man named Zhang Meng bowed solemnly......

If it weren't for Lin Qi's quick move and pulling him down, this Mr. Zhang might have to kneel and beg on the spot!

"What are you doing! Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, why do you want to do this? My surname is Lin as if he is not patriotic? If it were not for my love for the country, why would I choose to independently develop CPU chips instead of buying ready-made chips on the market? Just like the handheld computer of "China Cube", if you assemble it, you can make money, isn't it fast and economical?" Lin Qi said excitedly, "But I know that you can't buy the core technology with money! Just like the chip 6502, the market will sell it to me, but if I want to buy the best performance chip on the market, or the best supercomputer, then ...... I'm sorry, but I can't buy it even if I have money......! I am Chinese! Even if I am a Hong Kong resident on my ID card now, they will still guard against me!"

"There are also all kinds of advanced production equipment, industrial production equipment for chips with a precision of 1 micron -- I'm sorry! We don't sell them! It's also because we have different skin colors and races from them! The earth-shattering freedom, democracy, and freedom of trade that we shout about may compete with their products once their fundamental interests are really involved. Then, they will soon tear off the mask of hypocrisy and reveal the demonic face with blue fangs!"

"The backwardness of science and technology in modern China is not because we are stupid, nor because we are lazy, or even because of ideology and system. More critically, the various technological blockades of developed countries. ”

"Within the Warsaw Pact countries, they can freely exchange technology, but we are not the Warsaw Pact, so, I'm sorry, the Warsaw Pact countries are already big road goods of technology and equipment, and we can't get it. Between NATO countries, you can freely buy and sell the exchanged technology, sorry, we can't buy it with money, because, we are not NATO countries. The so-called fairness is a double standard, shouting slogans when you need to shout them, and hiding them when you don't need them. All the major camps in the world have blocked us, and the countries we communicate with are all some technologically backward third world countries, and they are very limited in helping us. ”

"Now during the honeymoon between China and the United States, I don't know how long it will last, but the technical blockade on us has been loosened a little, but it still won't sell us the best. As far as civilian products and CPUs are concerned, we can buy the Z80, 8080 and 6502 from the mid-70s. However, the mainstream Motorola 68000 and Intel 8086 and 8088 in the market, as well as the 80286 and other 16-bit chips they are developing, will not be sold to the mainland. ”

"It's the same with selling computers, now dumping backward appleII at us, this kind of garbage stuff, getting domestic sales and tens of thousands of dollars, I feel angry at this price alone. The 6502 chip at the core of appleII, we use it to make a "Chinese Cube" game console that is so cheap that it only costs 100 yuan. Because, we feel that the performance of this thing garbage is only suitable for low-configuration handheld game consoles. In the future, we plan to make more complex home game consoles, and we will only use chips that are more powerful than mainstream microcomputers......"

"Why do we want to make game consoles instead of computers? Don't we know that computers are more promising? Of course we do, but even if we make them with good performance, there is no market, because the more critical compatibility of computers requires a bunch of manufacturers to develop application software for you! At present, the computer market in the world is all following the American buttocks, following the technical standards of the Americans to make computers, but they are just assemblers and porters, and there is no point in it at all. It is not compatible with the technical standards of the United States, and the independent technical standards are not supported by software and hardware manufacturers, and are doomed to failure. Therefore, we can only choose a smaller level of the game console market, which does not require too many software and hardware manufacturers to support the market, as long as we configure the performance well, and there are a bunch of high-quality games, we can open up the situation. As for the game console with such strong performance in the future, whether it is just a game console, or it will be transformed into a microcomputer, then hehe, it depends on the situation......"

After talking about feelings for a few hours, Lin Qi of course authorized the X8 chip to the Lishan Research Institute.

Of course, for every CPU produced by the Lishan Research Institute, it needs to pay a patent fee of 1 yuan to the new venture electronics company.

Such a patent fee is more symbolic than practical.

For the X8 chip to be licensed to the domestic Lishan Research Institute, Yu Youcheng did not object to it after he knew it, but said to Lin Qi: "If the X8 chip is mass-produced in China, the follow-up handheld project, it is recommended to consider replacing the X8 chip!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I think so too!"

For the sake of cost, there is no need to use better hardware configurations. But the CPU is more powerful, and the game is certainly better.

In the future, as an independent gaming platform, there is no need to replace the CPU chip for at least ten years. For the sake of cost performance, the X8 chip is currently the first choice.

After all, its process requirements are lower than those of the 6502 chip, and the current domestic semiconductor industry capacity can piece together a production line for industrial mass production.

Once the domestic mass production is completed, the estimated cost is no problem to be reduced to 10 Hong Kong dollars!
