Chapter 71: CPU
In the home console market, there is no future for closing your own home console and prohibiting third parties from joining, as the example of the previous life has well illustrated this.
Although Wu Ming can also rely on the memories of his previous life to develop classic games, he can even let Xingchen Entertainment alone compete with all other game companies in the market.
But if he does this, Wu Ming will probably have to be tied to game development, and he will have no time to do anything else.
So there is no need to do this at all.
After other game companies discover the market prospect of Xingchen Entertainment's home console, they will naturally come to flatter. Why keep them out and let them go to the opposing camp!
The reason for supporting the game industry in Hong Kong is also to allow the Chinese game industry to keep up with the game industry in the United States and island countries.
Otherwise, even if Xingchen Entertainment can dominate the game market by then, it will not represent the level of the entire Chinese game industry. Those foreigners will only laugh at the fact that other Chinese people don't know how to develop games at all, except for Xingchen Entertainment.
Wu Ming said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "So I want Xiangjiang to also have a lot of game companies, so I don't have to rely completely on those game companies in the United States and island countries." At that time, even if those foreign companies betray us, at least we still have a group of little brothers like Xiangjiang who can replace them.
And even if they are suppressed, other foreign game companies will still enter the Xiangjiang market in the future, and it is better to be generous and refreshing. ”
Hearing Wu Ming say so much, Huo Jianning already fully understood, and very much agreed with his thoughts.
Huo Jianning praised: "It's still Xiao Ming's thoughtfulness, I didn't think about this layer at all, and I only stared at that little profit." ”
Wu Ming said modestly: "It's just that Uncle Jianning has been in the game industry for a short time, so you will be blind." With your intelligence and intelligence, Uncle Jianning, when you have been immersed in this industry for a long time, you will naturally see farther than me. ”
Huo Jianning also smiled, without refutation, he was still very confident in his ability. When the home host is developed, he will naturally think of attracting a third party.
Huo Jianning's expression became more serious again, and said: "But we can't let them go completely, otherwise others will think that we Xingchen Entertainment are easy to bully." ”
Wu Ming's eyes also showed sharp eyes, and he sneered: "Our support is naturally not without a price. They want to learn the art of game development from us, so they either give us a stake in it or they give us a lot of money for training. It won't teach them in vain. ”
……
The next day, Aihua Electronics Factory.
In the laboratory, a middle-aged man was having a heated discussion with five or six people.
Wu Ming walked in, saw this scene, and smiled.
"Old man Yu, I'm back. ”
Hearing Wu Ming's exchange, everyone immediately stopped arguing and welcomed Wu Ming's arrival.
The middle-aged man scolded with a smile: "Okay, you little ghost, you have been away from Xiangjiang for more than 40 days, and you finally know that you are back." ”
Wu Ming smiled: "Isn't it because I'm busy, so I didn't come back until the day before yesterday." Yesterday I went to the Order of the Phoenix and Star Entertainment to inspect it, and I am in a hurry to come to you today. ”
As they spoke, the two walked out of the lab and headed for the office.
Wu Ming once looked for teachers to learn the programming language in order to adapt to this era, and at first he studied it from a university teacher. It's just that the universities in Xiangjiang don't pay attention to science and engineering, let alone high-tech computers. So the teachers there are generally not very high-level.
It just so happened that Wu Ming accidentally saw a news on TV that Yu Youcheng, a technology giant in the electronics industry in the United States, had come to Xiangjiang to set up a computer training center.
Yu Youcheng was very famous in the IT industry in later generations, and he was the vice president of the famous Intel Corporation. Together with Intel Corporation, it has experienced the glorious era after 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, etc. He is the most capable, reused, and trusted of the Chinese scientists at Intel.
Wu Ming saw that such a big cow actually came to Xiangjiang, so he was naturally surprised, and hurriedly ran there to sign up for study. At first, Yu Youcheng was shocked that Wu Ming had come to learn computers at such a young age, and later after discovering Wu Ming's talent, he was even more shocked. directly regarded Wu Ming as a closed disciple and taught him everything.
Now in order to develop his own CPU, Wu Ming naturally invited this representative of the Chinese in the CPU industry out of the mountain.
Wu Ming lay comfortably on the sofa, turned his head to look at Yu Youcheng, and asked, "Old man Yu, how is our ARM8 chip researched, why hasn't it been researched for so long?"
Yu Youcheng listened to Wu Ming's words, immediately blew his beard and glared, and scolded: "You stinky little ghost, do you think that the development of CPUs is a master, not to mention that we are still developing CPUs with reduced instruction sets, and there is no object on the market for us to learn from, how can it be fast." ”
Because Yu Youcheng and Wu Ming are both relatively straightforward people, this pair of teachers and students have never been big or small in private.
Anyone with a little computer knowledge should know that CPUs are divided into two systems: CISC (Complex Instruction Set) and RISC (Reduced Instruction Set).
The advantage of CISC is that it is simple to control, but the utilization rate of various parts of the computer is not high, and the execution speed is slow. The advantages of RISC are that the format is uniform, there are fewer types, and the addressing methods are less than complex instruction sets. Of course, the processing speed is much improved.
However, because the RISC chip was developed relatively late, when the development of personal computers was in full swing, it was still in theory, so it was seized by the CISC camp.
In addition, when the RISC chip was developed, the CISC chip had already surrounded a large number of hardware and software vendors. RISC doesn't even have a compatible operating system and software, so naturally no one will choose RISC chips.
So in the end, the CISC camp occupied the entire general-purpose PC market, and the RISC camp could only specialize in the high-performance market and occupied the mid-to-high-end server market.
However, later, Intel in the CISC camp began to gradually introduce RISC design ideas into x86. With the huge profits from the PC market, Intel began to ramp up the performance of x86 processors like crazy. Compared with the RISC processors at the time, the performance was not inferior or even slightly superior.
In the end, Intel completed the process of counterattack, and x86 shined in the server market, and even began to occupy the vast majority of the market share, achieving the myth of CISC defeating RISC.
Until the advent of the new century, the advent of tablets and smartphones gave the RISC camp the opportunity to fight back again. With its ultra-high performance-per-watt ratio, it has been repeatedly successful, occupying more than 90% of the mobile computing market.
Intel has no choice but to stay in the shrinking PC market. Several attempts to enter the mobile computing market have also failed to succeed because the mobile computing market is extremely sensitive to power consumption.
