9 November 1994.

There are two days left until Singles' Day.

Pangu Computer Co., Ltd., the largest subsidiary of Xinchuang Electronics Group, officially held the Pangu 9th generation computer press conference.

In order to celebrate the birth of the ninth generation of Pangu Computer, the global launch event was held simultaneously in nine cities: Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, New York, London, Paris, New Delhi and Cape Town.

Of course, the press conference at the Hong Kong headquarters was the largest.

"Pangu 9th generation, the processor architecture is upgraded to Luban 3rd generation, last year's Luban 2nd generation chip power consumption is more conservative, the default frequency is only 100Hz, so that many consumers, their own risk to CPU overclocking to tap the potential, the world's highest overclocking record, is to use Luban 2 generation chip overclocking to a single-core maximum 196Hz, multi-core operation up to a maximum frequency of 175Hz, of course, the risk of overclocking is also extremely high, we do not advocate excessive overclocking by ordinary consumers, not only easy to damage the chip, even if successful overclocking, it will still reduce the service life。 The CPU of the Pangu 9th generation is directly increased to 200 Hz, and the maximum power will reach 130 watts, which is a great test of the heat dissipation of the processor. Of course, our Pangu 9th generation, like the previous generations, comes with a water-cooled circulating cooling system, even if it runs at full power, it will be very stable. Due to a series of complex debugging in the factory state, the 200Hz multi-core performance is the best. If you overclock, the stability of the system and the stability of multi-core performance will be reduced. Of course, 200Hz is close to the performance limit, and the risk of overclocking is much higher than that of the Luban 2nd generation.

The Luban 3rd generation architecture belongs to the reduced instruction set, which is naturally more efficient than the complex instruction set, and in the case of similar frequency and process, in an ideal state, it can even be more than twice the efficiency of the complex instruction set. Of course, this is only an ideal state, in fact, under the same frequency of the Luban 3rd generation, the performance is more than 50 than the Pentium architecture, that is to say, the 200Hz Luban 3rd generation architecture CPU, the performance can be comparable to the 300Hz Pentium architecture chip.

In addition, with the cooperation of the Pangu operating system, the multi-core CPU scheduling can play a higher efficiency. It's not like PCs, Microsoft's operating systems and chips from Intel and other manufacturers, although they are compatible, but it is difficult to give full play to the strongest performance potential......

It is conservatively estimated that our Luban 3rd generation chip should be more than 300 years ahead of the Pentium chip on the market!"

At the press conference, Gao Tian introduced the new characteristics of Pangu 9 with high spirits.

"In addition to the CPU, the Pangu 9th generation motherboard has four memory slots, but in order to reduce the cost of consumers, and reserve room for upgrades. At the beginning, the Pangu 9th generation memory module was inserted with two 32B memory, and the memory capacity was the same as that of the Pangu 8th generation, with 64B memory by default. However, since the memory capacity of a single root is 32B, users can upgrade the memory capacity to 128B according to their future needs. As you know, with the development of computer applications, unless you stay where you are and only use older versions of software, the performance of the computer, for example, the running memory will never be enough......"

"The price of memory is relatively expensive, and the hard disk is relatively cheap compared to the memory, so sometimes, users will use software to simulate the hard disk into virtual memory to temporarily solve the problem of insufficient memory, software needs too much memory, and bursts memory.

However, virtual memory is much slower than real memory. So...... Pangu 9th generation, motherboard chipset, has added a new black technology, which can be used to create high-speed virtual memory through software scheduling of solid state drives, mechanical hard disks and memory. With this technology, users can theoretically increase the virtual memory to 3G, and the speed can reach half of the physical memory...... The only defect may affect the security of the hard disk data, but the user limits the high-speed virtual memory to a certain partition of the hard disk, and saves other important data in other hard disk partitions, so even if the bug is encountered, it will only affect the hard disk partition data where the high-speed virtual memory is located, and will not affect other partition data. ”

In an instant, there was an exclamation at the scene!

After all, not to mention 3G memory capacity, even if it is 1G memory capacity, it is not a high-end configuration that personal computer users can access at present.

Some hardware-demanding applications can only run on high-performance mainframes or supercomputers.

And now the world's most advanced mainframe computer is a new powerhouse, and even the later generations of such entry-level personal computers as the i38100 processor.

It is conceivable that today's personal computers are only barely used, and the hardware performance is limited, resulting in personal computers that have not really been able to replace some expensive special computers.

And now, this technological innovation of Pangu 9 can temporarily change the memory bottleneck. Some of the software that cannot be run on personal computers due to lack of memory is gradually being ported to personal computers.

Although, using software algorithms to get out of the virtual memory, can not really achieve the performance of physical memory. However, even if it is barely used, the application scope of Pangu computers can be further expanded.

"Pangu 9th generation, the graphics card is enhanced compared with the previous generation, using a 32B capacity of the magic painting 4th generation high-performance graphics card, compared with the previous generation, not only the doubling of the memory capacity, but also the architecture has been improved to a certain extent, so the overall performance of the graphics card is more than 2 times higher than that of the Pangu 8th generation computer.

The Magic Painting 4 generation graphics card provides a variety of modes for users to choose from. A drawing mode, users of graphics jobs, using this mode, will improve the efficiency and accuracy of drawing, can replace some professional graphics cards.

The second mode is the audio and video mode, which provides the best audio and video experience.

The third mode is the text mode, which makes it clearer and smoother to process text and browse the web.

The fourth mode is the game mode, which maximizes the performance of the graphics card, allowing players to get a smoother and better visual gaming experience......"

"In terms of SSDs, the capacity of Pangu 9 has been expanded to 500B, the default system disk is 250B, and there are 250B partitions for users to allocate and use. The mechanical hard disk has been directly increased to an unprecedented 10GB, which can be called a capacity monster. ”

As various astonishing data broke out, the scene resounded with bursts of cheers.

Although the process used in Pangu 9 is the same as that of Pangu 8, there is no doubt that the potential of the process is much stronger than that of the previous generation. As a result, the comprehensive performance of the same process is more than doubled, which is much faster than Moore's law.

Of course, the pricing of Pangu 9 has increased compared to Pangu 8.

The price in Hong Kong is HK$9,800 per unit. The reference price in the Chinese mainland market is 9380 yuan. In North America, the reference price is $1,598. The reference price for the Japanese market is 148,000 yen......

Although the price increase is relatively fierce, but now for the configuration and performance improvement, the listing price of the Pangu 9th generation should be regarded as very sincere and conscientious.

Therefore, throughout the press conference, there have been countless fans and media, ready to move, wanting to take advantage of the scene and buy one first.

On November 9, 70,000 orders have been locked in advance at press conferences around the world. Basically, the media reporters and fans who participated in the press conference were basically not empty unless they were particularly poorly paid. Even if you don't use it yourself, you should still be able to make a small profit if you sell it at a higher price.

After all, in the early stage of the new machine, the production capacity is generally relatively limited.

In addition, the performance of the new machine has been greatly improved, but the retail price has risen limitedly, so it is foreseeable that a few months before the launch, the black market business of Pangu 9 must be very good.
