Bee wanted to find a second supplier, Intel intended to increase performance, and the two parties were interested in Lang's concubine, and soon initialed the agreement of intent.

Then there is nothing to do with Atletico Madrid, although the OEM agreements are all standard contracts, but the specific terms have to wait for the domestic business and legal departments to come over to negotiate and discuss. At that time, the two sides will officially disclose, and maybe there will be a signing ceremony, a media meeting or something.

Intel's production capacity is advanced and expensive, and Beecore Semiconductor will naturally not use it to produce cheap low-end chips for feature machines such as BH432 and Daerduo336, and they take out the BH626 chip that is about to be developed. That is, in addition to the TSMC 10nm version, this high-end chip designed for high-performance tablets and PT gaming consoles will also have an Intel 14nm version. The question of "which one is stronger in process technology?", which has plagued countless technology fans, will also be partially answered with the launch of this chip.

Intel's chip technology has been unique in the world for decades, but now it is facing the embarrassment of being overtaken by Samsung and TSMC. Both of the latter claim to have commercialized the 10nm process, while the former will have to wait a year for 10nm mass production. In the face of this dilemma, Intel's explanation is that "it is all shameless water injection by opponents, and my technology is still leading".

The real situation is that everyone is playing digital injection, and then Intel is betting early and less, not as crazy as Samsung and TSMC, which makes the former feel that they have suffered a loss. If you dissect the three products and look at them under an electron microscope, you will find that none of them has a MOS pipeline width of 16 or 14 nanometers. Samsung's original 14nm process measured 33nm (the improved version is 20nm), TSMC 16nm measured 30nm, Intel 14nm measured 20nm, and the degree of water injection is really the smallest.

The reason for this situation is mainly the pot of marketing propaganda.

At the beginning, in order to publicize the manufacturing process, chip manufacturers specially refined the concept of minimum line width and packaged it as a node index to measure the degree of process advancement. Intel, AMD, Nvidia and other chip manufacturers hyped up this concept, making the process number gradually "IP" and "conceptualized", forming a psychological perception of "the smaller the number, the more powerful" among consumers. Changing the number to a smaller size can make your product not suffer a dumb loss because of the "first impression" when facing competitors.

Of course, the line width number is only one of many indicators, and whether the chip is good or not is also affected by other factors. TSMC 16nm has proven itself on the Apple A9, but I don't know if TSMC 10nm can prove itself again.

After being busy with these things, Atletico Madrid also took a break and ran around to warm Los Angeles to cheer for the offline promotional activities of Bee Games.

After the "Black Friday" promotion, Microsoft XboxOne regained the second place on the console list once occupied by Bee PT, but the Bee Game PT team did not give up admitting defeat and continued their North American roadshow campaign, trying to gradually remove the old impression of PT weak performance, poor and scarce games through face-to-face delivery of games.

In the early days, most PT games were ported from mobile games, and the character modeling and textures were indeed not as delicate and beautiful as those of console games, and they didn't even look as good as the "full-screen gameplay" of the WiiU.

However, with the revamp of the game store and the opening of separate sections for mobile games and individual works, the situation has changed dramatically, at least the graphics of the first-party games and third-party ported masterpieces are amazing enough, and these games are also the focus of the roadshow.

Another focus is on the variety of featured peripherals.

Bee You has always attached importance to non-mainstream peripherals, hoping to find opportunities to overtake in corners. Although this dream has not yet been fully realized, it has also laid a reputation for the rich and distinctive peripherals.

For example, the two "Ice and Fire Vibration Clothes" that appeared in Atletico Madrid's hands at this moment are a strange enough peripherals.

It is a bit like a combination of a jellyfish suit and a facekini, and after wearing it, only the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, fingers and soles of the hands are exposed all over the body.

However, this thing is not designed for divers, and its outer surface is filled with round and square slots, connected to each other by fine circuits, which looks rather sci-fi.

As the name suggests, it has a heat, cold and vibration simulation function, and is actually a wearable version of the third-generation Pisces handle.

In fact, the purpose of creating this dress is also to promote the "cold and heat engine" of the three generations of Pisces. As long as the temperature control module and vibration module are tucked into the corresponding slots, and then the battery belt is tied around the waist and connected to the game, this clothing can make players experience the wonderful feeling of hot and cold vibrations all over the body.

"Is anyone interested? This outfit is especially suitable for FPS, action fighting, and fantasy games, and with VR and somatosensory controls, it can take your gaming experience up several notches," Atletico Madrid, holding the outfit in his hand, recommended it vigorously.

Then, he added, "By the way, although they have a decent elasticity, I would recommend a guy of the same height and size as me." As for this women's version, if your figure is as hot as Kim Kardashian, I'm afraid you won't be able to fit it. ”

These two sentences successfully livened up the atmosphere, and soon a boy and girl who thought they were in good shape stood up and raised their hands.

Atletico Madrid's eyes swept away, and he instantly got the body shape data of these people, selected the most suitable body type, handed them two clothes, and then sent someone to the backstage to change clothes.

With the Rocky Mountains in the back and the Pacific Ocean to the east, Los Angeles is shielded from the cold currents inland, and warm currents are brought in by the former, creating a warm Mediterranean climate. Although the days are getting shorter in December, the temperature here is not too low, and many people go out wearing autumn clothes.

It didn't take long for the two players to return to the stage, dressed in sci-fi-inspired tights, with a Dream Walker headset on their heads, and a somatosensory controller in their hands, a plastic knife for the boy and a wand for the girl.

Atletico smiled and raised his hand to point at the two, "It seems that you have already chosen the game you want to experience, so I'll hand over the stage to you." ”

"Wait!" the girl raised her wand, "Atletico Madrid, I'm going to challenge you!"

"And me! let's challenge you together!" the boy was not far behind, and opened his mouth to join in.

Obviously, someone's long-term domination of the game leaderboard and the suppression of ordinary players has caused public outrage, and this is the rhythm of attacking it en masse.

Reaching out and touching his nose, Atletico Madrid called up the list of escape techniques in his heart, and was thinking about what excuse to use to leave, when he saw Zhu Lingling appear at the entrance of the stage, holding a mobile phone in his hand and signaling to him.

Without hesitation at the moment, he decisively offered "Lei Dun - there is a call to find me", ran directly to Zhu Lingling, took the phone and ran to the backstage.

It's not that he deliberately lied and deliberately ran away, this call is indeed more important.

As soon as the phone was connected, Atletico Madrid didn't wait for the other party to speak, and then preemptively asked: "What's wrong?

This number belongs to the Lagos branch of Bee Trading Nigeria, which is separated by the American continent and the Atlantic Ocean, with a time difference of 9 hours. It's noon in Los Angeles, but it's night over there, and the other party calls him during off-duty hours, so naturally he won't report late and talk about family life.

"Ahh ”

"Seriously?"

"It's not too serious, someone was carrying out a holy bullet attack in Lagos, and the two of them were on the periphery of the crowd at the time, and they only suffered some minor injuries, but the psychological impact was still quite large. ”

Atletico frowned, thanks to the almighty internet, he already knew what was going on over there.

After organizing the language, he said: "As long as the person is okay, whether it is staying there for treatment, or flying back to China to see a doctor and recuperate for psychological intervention, the group will not let it go." Also, you should pay attention to it, carefully check whether there are any other security vulnerabilities, and cooperate with the arrangements of the Consulate General. It's bad enough now, I don't want to hear about anyone getting hurt or having an accident!"

The opposite side was naturally busy agreeing to come down, patting his chest to ensure that the task was completed.

"Well, well, don't let your guard down, report any new situation in time, that's all. ”

Hanging up the phone and stuffing it into his trouser pocket, Atletico Madrid did not leave in a hurry, leaning against the pillar in a silent daze.

The surroundings were very quiet, and from time to time there were wisps of applause and laughter floating to his ears. Obviously, no one knows, and even if they do, they don't care, that a horrific terrorist attack has just taken place in distant Africa.

In fact, if it weren't for the injuries of a bee employee in the attack, Atletico would have been hanging on their own for the same thing.

In an attack in Lagos, the largest city in West Africa, two female attackers burst into a crowd at a night market and blew themselves up, killing more than 30 people and injuring more than 40 others. The dead and wounded were mainly local blacks, and the bee employee was the only foreign casualty. He and his colleagues went to see the legendary water slums, but disaster fell from the sky, and he was frightened by shrapnel and broke his head.

Of course, the benefits are not without benefits, at least Atletico Madrid is very sure that this classmate will definitely be on the simulcast at night, the attack that killed more than 30 people, and the injuries of Chinese people, will inevitably be simulcast, but I don't know if it's a special topic or an alert.

Shaking his head slightly, Atletico muttered, "Hey, I want to make a big news!"

The largest country in Africa is South Africa, and the second largest country is Nigeria, located near the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. Thanks to Africa's leading oil exports and Africa's largest population, Nigeria has a relatively developed economy and entertainment culture, and Nyllywood's movies are exported to all of Africa and are world-famous. Nigeria is naturally favored by many foreign companies as its first stop in Africa, including domestic mobile phone companies, including bees.

Bee took a different path and established a partnership with a Hollywood studio, and quickly opened up the market for its low-end smartphones and feature phones by acquiring the rights to popular films and providing users with paid on-demand services at very low prices.

However, Nigeria also has a lot of problems, the country's economy is heavily dependent on oil exports, and when oil prices are high, they will be in a state of "Dutch disease". As the international oil price has been maintained at $60 per barrel for a long time, Russia, Venezuela, Nigeria and other "oil companies disguised as states" have been affected, international income has decreased, the national currency has depreciated, unemployment has risen, and social contradictions have rapidly intensified.

As a North African country, Nigeria is also part of the YSL cultural circle, and half of the people have MSL, which has always been plagued by terrorist activities. The attack in Lagos is in the same vein as the Middle Eastern jihadists, and is likely to have come from Boko Haram, an "influencer" terrorist group in the north of the country.

The name of this organization is BokoHaram, Boko means Western-style school system in the local Hausa language, and Haram is the antonym of Halal, so the translation into Chinese should be "Western-style schools are not halal". It may be that the original translator did not understand this popular language in West Africa, or felt that the slogan was too awkward, so he translated it into its current form according to the method of transliteration and English translation, and the later translators have also used it to the present.

In the 60s of the twentieth century, Africa set off a trend of independence and statehood, and four countries were established around Lake Chad: Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria, and then the fourth largest lake in Africa fell into the "tragedy of the commons" as a matter of course. Although neighboring countries have set up river basin committees to try to protect them, but with limited funding and few results, only 3,000 square kilometers of water surface remain, only one-tenth of what it was 50 years ago, a large number of lake bottoms are exposed, fishery resources have collapsed, and agriculture and animal husbandry have become unified, resulting in the displacement of nearly three million people and becoming ecological refugees.

Boko Haram is an extremist group active in the area, which seems to blame the crisis in Lake Chad on Western-style education in neighboring countries, attacking schools and even mosques, killing or kidnapping teachers and students, and causing great international repercussions. Ironically, despite its anti-intellectual and anti-educational propaganda, the group is adept at using online media such as Youtube to make a name for itself, much better than its predecessors who only sent videotapes to Al Jazeera. Nigerian officials have organized many crackdowns, claiming to have killed their ringleader several times, only to be slapped in the face by the latest video in the blink of an eye, which has made the latter more and more famous on the Internet and an alternative "Internet celebrity".
