Chapter 181: Starry Sky Computer Compatible Machine

Since IBM chose to use open technical information to set industry standards in previous lives, this life is no exception.

In the previous life, Apple, which had a closed platform, was defeated by IBM, which had an open platform, within a few years, which has fully demonstrated that there is no future for closed platforms in the field of personal computers.

If Wu Ming doesn't want the Star Computer to fall into the same fate as Apple Computer, he is bound to make the technical standards public and win over other businesses to stand in the camp of the Star Computer standard.

Of course, with the weapon of Hanka, Star Computer has become popular in the mainland, Xiangjiang and Wanwan. In the future, Star Computer can become the personal computer overlord of Huaxia.

It's just that now it's not 20 years later, and the size of the Chinese personal computer market in this era is so small, even if it becomes a hegemon, it won't make much money, and it is estimated that it is not as much money as a second-rate computer company in the United States.

Wu Ming didn't want to wait until more than ten years later, and now he had to fight with those computer companies in the United States.

Therefore, two months ago, when Wu Ming found out that IBM was about to launch IBM-PC to enter the field of personal computers, he had already asked Mark Hurd to disclose the technical standards of the first generation of Star Computer.

Anyway, Wu Ming didn't think about how much money the first-generation Star Computer could make, and when IBM had not yet launched the IBM-PC and made a big move to disclose the technical standards, he would first win over the companies that might fall to IBM in the future.

Some companies that have been hesitant in the personal computer market really couldn't resist the temptation, and bit the bait thrown out by the star computer, and became the star computer compatible machine merchants.

After all, building a brand new PC from scratch is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. And the outlook is uncertain, so many companies have been in a wait-and-see mode.

And now there are people who have made their technical standards public, which makes some hesitant companies ecstatic, so that they can easily enter the personal computer market! I am afraid that these guys are still laughing at the boss of Star Computer as a fool!

Naturally, they didn't know that in more than half a year, IBM would make its technical standards public. Now they have eaten the bait sprinkled by Wu Ming, and have begun to produce the Star Computer compatible machine and sell it to the outside world. By the time IBM made its technical standards public, they had been in production for more than half a year.

When the time comes, they will either go all the way to the dark and continue on the road of the Starry Sky Computer Compatible Machine, or they will lose a lot of money to change the door wall and join the PC Compatible Machine camp.

However, according to Wu Ming's estimates, at least half of these guys will go all the way to the dark. In the eyes of these guys, the strength of Star Computer is weak, and the open technical standards can only be kneaded at will and anti-customer-oriented.

And if you join the PC compatible machine camp, with the strong strength of IBM, you can take them at will. The most important thing is that such a large amount of money is not something that everyone has the courage to give up.

Wu Ming is naturally sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai behind the scenes, and he is happy to get those guys to work hard with IBM to promote the Star Computer standard.

However, Wu Ming also understands that with IBM's strong strength, it won't take long to defeat those guys. In order not to let yourself get away with it, you must develop the second-generation star computer as soon as possible. At that time, with the powerful performance of the second-generation Star Computer, not to mention beating IBM-PC, it will at least be able to occupy a certain share in the United States.

It's just that the 16-bit CPU has not been developed, which makes the development of the second-generation Star Computer slow, which makes Wu Ming very anxious. Now that ARM16 has been developed, Wu Ming can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Wu Ming had a bright smile on his face, looked at Yu Youcheng, and said, "I've worked hard for a while, and then I'm going to trouble the teacher to carefully check the ARM16 chip and fix some vulnerabilities." ”

"No problem," Yu Youcheng looked at Wu Ming with a smile, "The ARM16 chip can be put into production in a month at most." ”

Wu Ming nodded and said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, I will hold a celebration banquet for you, teacher, and then let you take a paid vacation for a month." ”

Yu Youcheng groaned and asked, "I also heard recently that IBM has launched a personal computer, IBM-PC. And the second-generation Star Computer has not yet been developed, do you have a plan to deal with it?"

Wu Ming has been urging him to develop a 16-bit CPU, and Yu Youcheng certainly understands that it is to develop the second-generation star computer as soon as possible. Now that the ARM16 chip has just been completed, it will take a long time for the second-generation Star Computer to be developed. He wondered how he was going to deal with IBM during this time.

Speaking of IBM, Wu Ming also became serious and serious, and said: "You also know IBM's position in the computer field, and it is really a big enemy. However, IBM is not without enemies, and Apple Computer, the current leader in the personal computer market, is bound to refuse to obediently cede its hegemony, and there will definitely be a dragon and tiger battle between them. And I was ready a while ago. ”

Immediately, Wu Ming told Yu Youcheng about the causes and consequences of the Starry Sky Computer compatible machine.

After listening to it, Yu Youcheng was stunned, and then said with a smile: "You are a little slippery head, you really have a lot of ghost ideas, and you actually asked an American company to give you a front station." ”

"There's no way, IBM is too strong, and if you don't win over some allies, it's really insecure!" Wu Ming sneered.

Yu Youcheng shook his head and said with a smile: "What kind of ally is this, it's the pawn you pushed out." ”

"It's all of their own volition!" Wu Ming said with a grin.

"But be careful, don't let them turn against you. Yu Youcheng advised.

"Well, got it!" Wu Ming nodded.

"There is also the second-generation starry sky computer to be developed as soon as possible," Yu Youcheng pondered for a while, and then said, "Although the performance of the first-generation starry sky computer is good, it is the top among the eight-bit computers, and it only costs 600 US dollars, and the cost performance is also very high." But the IBM-PC is a 16-bit computer after all, and its performance is much stronger than that of the first generation of Star Computer. If you don't hurry, when IBM-PC sweeps other companies, it will be difficult for you to open up the situation. ”

Wu Ming restrained his smile, in fact, there was still a lot of pressure in his heart. Although IBM's status has declined since the new century, and it is no longer conspicuous among many large American enterprises, IBM is really a behemoth in this era, and its influence in the computer field is unparalleled.

Don't look at how nice he says, Apple computers and Star Computer compatible machines can delay IBM's progress. In fact, he understands that after IBM publishes its technical standards, it will be invincible in two years at most.

However, fighting with the sky is endless! Fighting with the earth, it is endless! Fighting with people is even more fun!

Wu Ming will not be intimidated by IBM???
