Chapter 208 Overclocking the CPU
"Why would people sell it to you at a low price, it won't take much time to move to other markets, isn't it good to sell it slowly when the time comes?" Jin Yue belongs to the kind of person who suffers losses again and again and does not have a long memory, knowing that there is no cheap to take advantage of when he comes out with Hong Tao, but he is still willing to come out with him. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info had just been forced to buy two sets of swimsuits that she couldn't wear in her opinion in the contemporary mall, and now she heard Hong Tao say that nothing went well, and a basin of cold water splashed violently.
"Keep it and sell it slowly?! Don't worry, they won't dare to keep it for a week. Computer accessories are not like household appliances, put a few months to sell, this thing is updated very quickly, the price of the upstream large wholesalers is changing every day, the following retailers do not dare to press the goods at all. I don't believe you'll come early tomorrow, don't go past half past eight, you won't be able to buy anything here. Because the guide price of large wholesalers has not yet come down, no one dares to ship blindly. In case the price rises, you will lose one if you sell one, and the more you sell, the more you will lose. Let's go, I'm not going to pull you to play with your life today, let's find a small business, come to a one-stop procurement, and strive to set all the equipment, if it's ready, we can open next weekend. "I can save money again, Hong Tao is very happy, the cold water of Jinyue doesn't matter, it will be annoying to explain to others, but it is not annoying to tell her.
Hong Tao is indeed right, the computer accessories market cannot be said to change every day, but it is almost the same, there is no spectrum at all. It often sells more than 600 this week, more than 800 the next week, and it falls to more than 400 every other week. This kind of price change is not all human-operated, nor is it caused by large merchants, but due to the characteristics of computer accessories.
Quite simply, more than 90 percent of the computer accessories and consumables are made in foreign countries, and the state has not imported so much, so more than half of the goods in the retail market are parallel imports, that is, smuggled in.
Smuggling this thing is not good to talk about stability, such as memory sticks such as high-priced, small-sized accessories, packed in suitcases to break through the level, caught three times, as long as you succeed once, you will still make a fortune, the profit is too high. If there are so many boxes of new goods in the village, the price of memory modules can immediately dive. If a ship is detained one day or doesn't come on time, the price in the village will immediately go up the next day.
Today, Hong Tao really talked about it, and he only took Jin Yue to three stores and stopped looking for it, and directly started substantive negotiations with this fat boss with a smile on his face. The scale of this business, called Carriage Returns, is not small or small, which just meets Hong Tao's conditions, and the boss also happens to have the goods that Hong Tao wants most, a thing about the same size as a new mobile phone.
"I only need the CPU of Celeron 266, made in Malaysia, batch number SL2YN, how many you have here I have all-inclusive. After more than a dozen nonsense words, Hong Tao probably touched the bottom of the boss and put forward his needs by name.
"How much do you want! I have a lot of goods in my hand, seven or eight yuan, do you want it?" As soon as he heard Hong Tao's tone, the smile on the face of the boss surnamed Song was a little less, and he looked at Hong Tao and Jin Yue again, and the smile was basically gone.
People who can talk like this are either big customers who really want goods, or they are unscrupulous individual customers who have no face and no skin and plan to play with their lives. Hong Tao and Jin Yue are obviously more like the latter, at this time, Boss Song doesn't want to grind his lips for a long time because of dozens of yuan.
"It's only seven or eight yuan, it's not enough, I want at least fifteen yuan, and twenty yuan can be done." But I don't want to look around for goods, if you have a source, let's continue to talk, there are not so many sources, I'll find someone else. "Don't panic if you have money in your pocket, Hong Tao has a full 100,000 yuan in his schoolbag, and he speaks hard.
"Are you really going to buy twenty yuan? Is it an individual or a unit? Come on, sit down, sit down and say......" Boss Song was a little vague, you don't believe Hong Tao's words, this deal is a bit big for him, and he is reluctant. I believe it, and I don't think Hong Tao is like a person who comes out to purchase from the unit or the government. He is too young to take the turn of this kind of fat difference in the unit that can eat a lot of kickbacks. However, businessmen generally do not fight for money, but if there is any hope, they will do their best to fight for it.
"I use it myself, I don't need an invoice, just issue a receipt. I came with money today, and I can pay the deposit as soon as the goods are full. How about this business? Does Boss Song want to do it?" Seeing that Boss Song began to give up his seat, Hong Tao was even less anxious, first told his general intentions, and then revealed the money in the bag, and then sat down and waited for Boss Song's final answer.
"Have you received a big project?" Boss Song didn't say anything about the goods, and was still inquiring about Hong Tao's details.
"I said that you are really interesting, we will pay you for selling goods, and you didn't say a word about it for a long time, what is the use of just asking, are you an industrial and commercial office or a tax bureau?" Before Hong Tao could answer, Jin Yue was not happy. She felt that this Boss Song was too powerful and had too many problems.
"Oh yo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not that I'm too talkative, it's that the goods you want are too special. This batch of CPUs is specially used for overclocking, and the price is slightly more expensive than the regular batch, which is basically for personal use. If you two want to be twenty yuan, I think it must be used in the unit, so it is not suitable, so it is better to choose the ordinary batch. Don't read the magazines, if you don't overclock, you won't spend this money in vain. ”
Jin Yueyi was not happy, and Boss Song couldn't take care of chatting slowly, and directly expressed his concerns. It is cost-effective for the sake of Hong Tao, for the sake of Hong Tao, afraid that Hong Tao does not know how to pretend to understand, and after reading a few computer articles, he will come to the market to pretend to be an expert. Of course, if Hong Tao didn't want so many goods, he wouldn't have more of this mouth. But now it's different, once something goes wrong with the bulk purchase, Hong Tao will definitely get it back, and then he will have to return and exchange the goods, and he will have to bear the price loss in the middle of these days, which is not cost-effective.
"Look, Boss Song is a good person, especially for the sake of customers! Just a few words to you, I will make this deal with you. Don't worry about overclocking, I bought it back for overclocking, what do I use it for the time being, hehe......" Hong Tao understood Boss Song's careful thinking, but in any case, he didn't hold back and hurt himself, even if he was an honest businessman, he could be partially trusted.
Celeron 266 is a very classic processor in the late nineties, which was launched by Inter in ninety-eight in order to compete with AMD's K6 series CPUs and seize the low-end market of home computers.
The reason why it is said to be classic is mainly because its origin is relatively noble. At that time, Inter did not have too many Celeron CPUs in the market, and was afraid that AMD would take the opportunity to grab its own market share, so it simply removed some high-level CPUs from the L2 cache and turned the frequency reduction into low-end products. Large companies are ruthless, and they would rather suffer losses in interests than let their opponents take advantage.
But in this way, individual users like Hong Tao who are keen to build their own computers are blessed. The performance advantages of this Celeron 266 sold with reduced frequency were quickly tested by people with intentions, and then it is no longer a secret that it will be passed on to ten, ten, and hundred.
What is the advantage of this CPU?
The higher the CPU frequency, the faster the computing speed, which is not set arbitrarily, but strictly regulated according to the number of chips and processing technology. Take Celeron 266 as an example, its main frequency is 66 megahertz, and the doubling frequency is quadruple, and the multiplication of the two is basically equal to 266 megahertz, which is the source of the name 266. If it's a Celeron 333, it's a frequency of 66 megahertz, and a doubling frequency of five, multiplying the two.
Generally speaking, when the CPU leaves the factory, the main frequency and frequency doubling will be locked by technical means, so that users can adjust it at will, which is mainly to protect the safety of the CPU. If the frequency is outside the safe range, the CPU will heat up a lot when it is in use, and it will burn out directly.
But in the Celeron 266 CPU, part of it is directly downclocked with the Pentium second-generation CPU, and the actual frequency of its internal chip is much higher than that of the 266. And it was modified later, probably in a hurry or due to cost considerations, and it was not locked. Therefore, through the software, you can adjust its main frequency and multiplier level, so that it runs at a higher frequency, and the performance will naturally improve a lot.
For example, it's like if you bought a Xiali, but it turned out to be changed by BMW, and nothing was changed in it, so you deducted a Xiali shell, and the manufacturer just reduced the power of the engine in the on-board control system, trying to impersonate Xiali. As long as you can crack the on-board control system and change the engine parameters back, then you will restore the performance of BMW.
This is what makes Hong Tao the happiest, if it is not delayed for more than two months because of the house, this kind of CPU has not been sold in China, then it will be a real loss. Two months ago, at the price of the Celeron 266, I could only buy the CPU of the Pentium Generation 166, and the performance was almost doubled. If you don't say that the computer accessories market is changing rapidly, it can't be calculated in years, but only in weeks at most.
Of course, to say that, if you really want to overclock successfully and can use it normally for a long time, not every computer enthusiast can do it, CPU frequency change is only one of them, if you want it to work safely and steadily, you have to match a power supply circuit design to pass, support a variety of main frequency and frequency doubling motherboard, but also in the switching power supply, heat dissipation system efforts, otherwise the CPU pedigree is noble and useless. It's also like a car, the light engine is useless, you don't have a complete set of gearboxes, suspension systems and chassis loads, and it's still at the level of Xiali.
Hong Tao thinks that his technology is passing, as for the problem of the motherboard, it depends on this Boss Song. Buying a CPU is just a bait, Hong Tao wants to use this bait to lure him to follow him step by step, and then let him become his regular supplier. In the future, the accessories that can be purchased from him should be bought from him as much as possible, so that it is more convenient to repair or replace.
