��6������ZgMԩDO ��#���8j�D��|$�, Q , the development of the ARM chip was purely an accident. Because, before that, Acorn didn't want to make CPU chips, but only wanted to make cheap computers for educational use. Therefore, they have successively asked Motorola and Intel, the giants of complex instruction sets, to buy chips cheaply.

Just like many turning points in history, they are caused by stimulus. If Motorola or Intel were willing to supply CPU chips to Acorn Computer at a low price, the company would never have the idea of developing its own CPU.

However, those CPU companies categorically rejected the request of Acorn Computer Company, and after being arrogantly rejected by the chip boss, the founder of Acorn Computer Company inevitably had the idea of "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth", and mustered up the courage to make his own CPU chips!

Since then, the toddler of a giant beast in the future chip industry has begun to break out of its eggs.

Because it is an overly complex instruction set, they cannot develop it with their personnel and technical reserves.

It is precisely for this reason that the initial requirement of the chip developed by ARM's R&D team was that the instruction set architecture should be as simple as possible and not too complex.

In addition, the first letter of Acorn Computer Company Ah A, so the ARM architecture chip was born.

For example, the chip used in Pangu Computer is the XRM architecture, because the parent company Xinchuang Electronics Group is the first word...... Phew, is the first word in Hanyu Pinyin starts with X, so XRM appears. A reduced instruction set architecture developed by New Venture Capital Electronics Group.

This requirement, on the contrary, allows ARM's chips to develop in the right direction, streamlining the instruction set and low power consumption. This kind of chip may not be powerful, but the power consumption is extremely low. A chip as complex as X86, no matter what, it is impossible to beat ARM's chip in terms of power consumption.

The development of battery technology for mobile devices is naturally unlikely to reach the rapid development speed of the semiconductor industry. In fact, for more than 100 years, the progress of battery technology has been extremely slow. Therefore, it is impossible to expect the battery to be small and have enough power.

To better enhance battery life, it should be from the screen, chips and other hardware aspects.

In the future, the rise of mobile phones, tablets and other terminals is unstoppable, and it is precisely for this reason that ARM has great potential.

"How much investment will you bring us, will you intervene in the R&D model in the future, will you be able to accept losing all your money?" Instead of thinking that his project was promising, Hoser was worried that there might be no commercial prospects at all.

These three questions were thrown out, Lin Qi's good impression of Horser increased a lot, such a person is the one who really does things, he actually wanted to pull Horser to the new business for a while, but he finally suppressed this idea, after all, after he acquired Acorn, Horser was also his person.

"Hello, let me introduce myself, the new entrepreneur Lin Qi, I don't know if you have heard of it. Lin Qi stretched out his hand, very interested in the future cash cow of this new business.

Hoser reminisced for a while, and finally remembered how huge the gap between the new start-up electronics group and his own small company was.

At the beginning, Acorn only wanted to become a cheap computer company for educational purposes in the UK. The Pangu computer of the new venture electronics group has become the mainstream personal computer in the world, which is not inferior to PC sales.

"Wait, you're the boss of the new business, Lin Qi?" Horser was really taken aback at this moment, the new venture developed the Pangu series of computers, and became famous, and its influence was all over the world.

As long as you are in the industry, you will never be lonely and unfamiliar with not knowing who Lin Qi is.

The computer in Joset's office, part PC, part Pangu.

This is mainly due to the fact that both camps have some unique software, and Pangu and PC are not compatible. Therefore, some offices have to be equipped with computers from different camps.

In general, Joseph prefers Pangu computers, if it is not for some damn software, or if it is not ported to the Pangu platform, he will definitely not match the PC.

Lin Qi smiled and nodded, quite interested in this young man, in fact, Horser was still a lot older than him, plus dark circles and some messy stubble, he was even older.

"I'm not here to invest, I'm interested in your current R&D, I'm here to buy Acorn. Rest assured, although we have our own Pangu computer, we also have XRM chips. But it's not about you joining the Pangu team or the XRM team. Rather, I want you to run independently and continue the previous research and development, well, a copy of the XRM architecture instruction set, if you need it, you can request it. But ARM and XRM are positioned differently, and you're going to move towards lower power consumption. Considering the high-performance platform of Pangu, in fact, Pangu consumes more and more power for the sake of performance. Therefore, we strategically need a team to research low-power chips! In order not to interfere with the direction of Pangu, we need this new team to operate and develop independently. Multiple technical routes develop together to make more technical reserves for the future, which is why I invested in your company. ”

Lin Qi didn't want to say more, and directly threw out the purpose of his coming, and at this time Jose was also waiting, although Acorn company was a hard-working creation, but at this time encountered difficulties, he had to do this, if he had known that it was a new venture, he would definitely visit in person.

All this naturally stems from the good reputation of the new venture, and the products developed never disappoint.

"It's naturally very good to have the help of the new startup group, but I still need to discuss this matter. After saying hello, Horser did not make any mistakes, but quickly left.

After a day of weighing, Lin Qi finally agreed to the acquisition of the new venture, Lin Qi acquired Acorn for 50 million US dollars, and at the same time integrated the R&D team of ARM's architecture processors.

Later, Lin Qi announced a thing that made the entire ARM team crazy, ARM's R&D team will obtain the patent authorization of the XRM processor, and on this basis, develop a lower power consumption and more streamlined processor.

After consultations, Lin Qi and Horser agreed that the future of ARM-based processors is in the direction of mobile terminals. It will be developed differentially from XRM's high-performance direction, and the two will not form a direct competition.

This positioning makes the ARM team a little excited!

XRM is already the world's most commercially successful reduced instruction set chip, which is widely used in Pangu computers, smart TVs, handhelds, arcades, industrial control and other platforms.

AMR, on the other hand, is immature, with a fledgling chip architecture, patent reserves and chip performance, which are not compatible with XRM.

But it is so valued by the industry bosses!

How not to shake the AMR team!

At the beginning, giants such as Motorola and Intel looked down on them, but now, the giant of the new venture group is optimistic about them. Let the team feel, a huge sense of belonging.
