Chapter 634: Pangu 6th Generation (20th Update, Finishing Work)

"Wow!"

The audience below was already crying, and none of them could hold back the surprise in their hearts.

Within a few kilometers of Times Square, there was a crowd of people.

As the opening animation plays, balloons float in the air, and finally freeze above, and the projection lights reflect the words "Double 11" and "New Entrepreneurship" in the air.

"Look, there's an image in the sky!"

Someone was screaming, and everyone looked up, looking at the image projected in the void, and a burst of applause erupted.

"Welcome to all of you, we are honored to be able to gather with you here, the development of the new venture and today's glory, inseparable from everyone here, all the new venture to all the fans who support the new venture, express our sincere gratitude. ”

On the stage in front of the square, the host appeared, and the loud voice appeared just right.

"Time flies, the new business from the wind and rain all the way, from the initial small scale, to today's achievements, to our life has brought great changes, at the same time, we are very happy to see the new business can make their own contribution to the country, such as the advent of 1 micron lithography machine, is extremely exciting news, in the future, the new business will work with everyone here hand in hand, continue to forge ahead, to create a more brilliant tomorrow. ”

In the big screen in the sky, the picture is constantly changing, and the steps of new entrepreneurial development appear in turn, one by one, each time it attracts a large number of applause.

In order to cater to Lin Qi's theme this time, all the new entrepreneurs put a lot of effort into pulling out a huge curtain in the air, and nearly ten projectors worked together to create a sense of time and space change.

The technical content of the scene and the ability to direct and rehearse all test the limits of the team in this era.

However, the on-site director is the great director Tsui Hark, after filming "Once Upon a Time", Tsui Hark temporarily lay dormant and did not make other films, but prepared for the Double 11 scene, although the salary of the on-site director may not be more profitable than "Once Upon a Time", but the influence of the new entrepreneurship department has been enhanced.

Tsui Hark now sees himself as a member of the New Entrepreneurship Department, and naturally values his position and contribution to the Group.

"I can feel firsthand that our technology and innovation have made some changes to the world. Even today, we still don't forget our original intention, and we still remember some bits and pieces of last year, the year before last, three years ago, five years ago, and ten years ago. ”

Lin Qi remembered the brief opening remarks, reviewed the history, and waited for the atmosphere at the scene to be almost incited, and then opened his mouth to announce.

"This year's Double 11, we will still launch a lot of cost-effective products, other classic products, there will also be a lot of promotional activities, of course, as an appetizer for the event, we have to release some new products, this is our tradition.

This year, our protagonist is the Pangu 6th generation computer, based on the Luban 1st generation CPU chip, the Pangu 6th generation is roughly the same as the Pangu 5th generation, however, our Pangu 1st generation, the architecture is more scientific than the previous XRM32, and, added some new features.

In order to make it acceptable to different consumers, we launch products at different price points. Four different versions were released: single-core, dual-core, quad-core, and six-core.

A lot of consumers ask, why don't we launch a single-core version anymore?

This is mainly because, although the increase in the core frequency affects performance, our current operating system platform pays more and more attention to multi-threaded performance, so at least dual-core is required to give full play to the advantages of the Pangu system. In the case of a single core, if many tasks are operated at the same time, the system may freeze or even have bugs. Multi-threaded technology is something we can enjoy in advance, and the performance of the chip in the future should have been a year later, and our dual-core can be enjoyed by users in advance. Quad-core, which allows users to experience the performance of chips under Moore's Law rules after 2 years, as for the 6-core version, it can allow users to have more threads, and will get a better performance experience when some multi-threaded tasks.

We know that minicomputers, mainframes, supercomputers, and servers often use a large number of CPUs, that is, multi-threading technology is widely used to pile up performance.

It is for this reason that we believe that the trend of ordinary personal computers is also multi-threaded.

Considering the power consumption, heat dissipation, and cost, it is impossible for us to stack up the number of CPUs indefinitely, but with more physical cores, it can really improve some experience, and it is worth the money for users who are not bad for money. If you care about cost performance, you can use the attitude, and the dual core is still enough!"

As soon as the news released by the sixth generation of Pangu appeared, it detonated the crowd all of a sudden, especially the fans of computer hobbies, and they made a burst of whistles, they generally pursued high performance, and they didn't care about the price.

"Mr. Lin, announce the price, we can't wait. A lot of people chanted.

Lin Qi smiled and said, "There are three versions of Pangu 6, the dual-core version costs $998, the four-core version costs $1,298, and the six-core version costs $1,598. ”

Mr. Lin...... It's not the same as saying yes, why is it so expensive?"

"Oh my God, I feel that the 6th generation of Pangu is basically the same as the 5th generation of Pangu, right? Why is it so expensive?"

"That's it, that's it, Mr. Lin, you have no conscience! Now every generation is going to increase the price, and the Moore's Law is getting cheaper and cheaper?"

"It can't be said that Moore's Law is getting cheaper and cheaper, which means that the performance is getting cheaper and cheaper. Now if you go to the bottom of the 4th generation, it will definitely be much cheaper than at the beginning. ”

A large number of users in the audience protested, thinking that this thing should not be so expensive!

After all, the CPU architecture of the Pangu 5 may not be as advanced as that of the Pangu 6, but the process is 0.8 microns. The process of the Luban 1st generation CPU of Pangu 6th generation is 1 micron, so the actual performance of the two is not easy to say.

"No, you think it's expensive?" Lin Qi quickly announced, "Pangu 6 generation computer has several features, which were not available in previous generations, first, we have added video functions and gifted users expensive digital cameras, after these cameras are plugged into the USB port, they can shoot the picture in front of the camera, with the voice function, they can realize remote video conferencing and video chat." ”

"Second, the water cooling of our radiator is not only more efficient in heat dissipation, so that the CPU, graphics card and other hardware can exert more powerful new energy, but also the water cooling is quieter and has no sound. You can even add some light to the water block cooling system to make it even cooler at night......"

After Lin Qi's demonstration, the users present were quiet.

If there is no selling point at all, it must be expensive.

But the reason for Lin Qi's price increase is that the video function has been added, and the heat dissipation has been replaced with water cooling.

You must know that the heat dissipation in this era has not yet reached the level of attention paid by users. Many users have not noticed that heat dissipation affects hardware performance.

In the early days, Apple suffered a big loss, for example, Jobs was a fool, not to mention water cooling, even the fan heat dissipation was noisy. Therefore, Apple said at the beginning that there is no heat dissipation, no heat dissipation, no heat dissipation......

This kind of stupid approach was naturally slapped in the face by the market and science and technology later.

Innovation is fine, but don't put your preferences above the laws of physics.

Lin Qi has a lot of respect for physics, such as ...... The Luban 1st generation CPU is actually at most the same grade as the version produced by the 0.8 micron production line of XRM32, and the heat dissipation is higher, and in some cases, it may not be as good as the XRM32 chip produced by AMD.

But...... The solution is also simple and crude...... If the heat is too high, the frequency will be reduced, then ...... If air cooling doesn't work, let's water cooling! Improving heat dissipation is equivalent to increasing the upper limit of CPU performance.
