Chapter 332: The Earlier You Drive, The Sooner You Enjoy

As the staff unpacked the box on the spot, the true face of the Pangu second-generation host was revealed.

Compared with the Pangu generation console, its chassis is larger and more stable. The first release was available in black and white.

Of course, the biggest advantage of the case is that it is very easy to open, there is no need for a screwdriver at all, and the user even needs to find the unpacking button, and the case bezel on the left and right sides will pop up, exposing the inside of the machine in front of the user.

The integration of chassis, motherboard, and power supply also saves DIY users a lot of installation effort. The chassis is flanked by a large number of cables and slots, leaving plenty of room for upgrades.

This design of pressing a button, the entire chassis opens on both sides, and completely exposes the motherboard and structure inside to the audience's eyes, which makes many people feel unaware.

It is also very easy to close the case, and it is also possible to close the case with one click. The switch is not electric, but an ingenious mechanical design.

This kind of easy-to-maintain feature is, in fact, also a requirement of Lin Qi. The PC of later generations dismantled the machine and was tired and half dead. The dirty and tiring experience made Lin Qi feel speechless.

It is precisely for this reason that Lin Qi put forward higher requirements for the easy disassembly and maintenance of the Pangu host. In fact, this requirement is not difficult to do, but in the history of PC development, it was not for novice users in the early days, and many masters were happy to assemble it, and if it was easy to assemble, it would fall off. Therefore, manufacturers do not have the incentive to simplify maintenance and assembly. Moreover, there are a bunch of hardware manufacturers in the PC camp, and no one can set a new label that the whole world agrees on, so no one is not self-sufficient, this kind of thing.

All the technical patents and design rights of the Pangu host are completely controlled by Xinchuang Electronics, so you can design how you want to design.

It is precisely for this reason that its design is very user-friendly and closer to the experience of ordinary users.

"Pangu 2nd generation host, as a 32-bit host. Its performance is undoubtedly a huge improvement over the previous generation of consoles, and it is easy to upgrade, which will gradually increase its performance to unimaginable levels. About ten years ago, the so-called supercomputer appeared in the world, and the standard for the world's most advanced supercomputer at that time was 100 million floating-point operations, and today, 100 million floating-point operations is not too far behind. The world's most powerful supercomputer is about 1 billion floating-point operations. And even a machine with 100 million floating-point operations is still considered a high-end configuration, and the cheapest is more than $5 million to afford...... However, I need to tell you that a machine with 100 million floating-point operations will soon not be an advanced supercomputer. Within a few years, the Pangu II host can perform more than 50 million floating-point operations by replacing CPU, memory and other hardware. And high-end personal computers may even be able to do 100 million floating-point operations in a few years...... Some people may be short-sighted to think that the configuration of individual users does not need to go to that bottom. So, I'm telling you now, you're wrong! In the future, 100 million floating-point arithmetic operations on the computer of individual users is very normal data, and if this data cannot be reached, many software may not be able to use it...... Therefore, the original intention of our design is that Pangu II users can replace the hardware independently in the future, and pile up the hardware performance of the machine in the small chassis to the level of close to 100 million floating-point operations! You can upgrade to a supercomputer at home, this is Pangu II!"

Many users present suddenly burst into fierce applause!

In fact, the Pangu second-generation host can now reach more than 10 million floating-point operations, which is already very powerful, and some small computers with tens of thousands of dollars may not be able to keep up with the PK performance of the Pangu second-generation computer!

In the future, with the increase in single-core frequencies and the stacking of a few more chips, it should be possible to raise the future version of the Pangu II console to a level where the performance is comparable to that of the 100 million floating-point mainframes that are about to be expelled from the supercomputer category.

Just thinking about it, ten years ago, it was definitely a weapon of the country, and the supercomputer-level performance symbolized by the technology of the major countries, soon the users of the Pangu platform only need to spend a few thousand dollars to buy it, which is naturally very exciting!

Worthwhile!

Many users think of machines that used to cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but now also cost $5 million to buy. In the future, they will only need a few thousand dollars to get their hands on it, and this comparison makes them feel extremely excited!

"Our host is easy to maintain and upgrade the replacement of hardware, even if the user does not understand the technology at all, according to the manual, choose the right compatible hardware, can also complete the hardware replacement independently. The integration of the chassis, motherboard and power supply is the most complex project to assemble a machine, so we asked the user to do it. These hardware are very valuable, basically the performance is difficult to be eliminated, unless the future technology development, socket and interface standards have changed, otherwise, these things are not necessary to upgrade. The motherboard integrates network cards, sound cards and other chipsets, and other chips, we only install an XRM32 processor and a 128MB hard disk in the factory state, and two 128KB memory groups to form a 256KB memory capacity, the graphics card is a single 128KB independent graphics card, and the latest technology CD-ROM optical drive. We have reserved a large number of interfaces and hardware mounting sockets, so that users can upgrade their own hosts as needed. Lin Qi said, "This host is not only more powerful than a 16-bit host, but also has a huge room for upgrade and growth." So, for many users, it's a great value. In addition, our Pangu II is backward compatible with more than 95% of the first-generation application software, so users don't need to worry too much about compatibility issues after hardware upgrades. For example, gamers, the game disc on the first-generation Pangu console you purchased can run smoothly on the second-generation console perfectly, and there is absolutely no situation where the game on the old platform you purchased before is scrapped after changing the platform. In addition, our new console comes with a 128MB HDD, and the operating system only takes up 25MB of space, leaving a lot of space for users to install the application software they need. For office users, they can directly keep the office software and the files and data icons that need to be processed on the computer. You don't need to use floppy disks, CDs, etc., to handle most of your daily office tasks. It is worth mentioning that the second-generation Pangu host is compatible with more industry software and hardware. You can use it to write manuscripts and work with charts in the office, or you can use it in the cashier of a shopping mall...... As you know, the previous generation of Pangu although our hardware performance is much more powerful than that of PC. However, many specialized software and hardware do not support our platform. But after this generation, as far as printers are concerned, most of the new printers currently support our Pangu system!"

"Now, our Pangu camp has more than 30 million users, and it is the second largest microcomputer system in the world after PC. We are still developing, so in the future, our Pangu console will gradually become a general-purpose computer that is accepted by more and more people, not just an entertainment tool!"

As Lin Qi continued to introduce the performance of Pangu II, many users present became more and more interested in it.

Originally, the biggest problem with the Pangu generation was not performance, but compatibility. Previously, the Pangu generation was cheap and beautiful, and the experience was completely explosive and more expensive PCs. But it still did not impress the determination of many large companies to purchase, because even if those large companies decided to use computers for office, they preferred IBM's PCs to Pangu, which they considered "game consoles".

This kind of misunderstanding can not be reversed overnight, and it can only grit its teeth and continue to consolidate the game console market, and constantly try to cooperate with more software and hardware manufacturers, so that more software and hardware can be compatible with the Pangu system. For example, the vast majority of printers on the market are compatible with PCs, but less than one-tenth are compatible with the Pangu console.

Of course, with the development of time, after more and more users of the Pangu platform, the number of supported software and hardware will naturally increase day by day.

From a high-performance game console to a universal production and entertainment tool, this is the most important strategic goal of the Pangu II console.

"What's the price?" asked many users with great concern.

Lin Qi smiled and said: "The price you care about the most, you can clearly tell everyone —— 698 dollars!"

As the price was revealed, many users at the scene burst into cheers.

Although, $698 is $300 higher than $398 of the previous generation Pangu console. But in fact, its performance improvement is definitely worth the price. At the same time, buying the Pangu generation host now is equivalent to defecting to the national army in 49 years, which has no future at all.

The purchase of Pangu II for $698 is equivalent to investing in the future! This platform will definitely get stronger and stronger in the future! The sooner you get on the car, the sooner you can enjoy it......
