Chapter 0519: Flash memory has been developed
Tang Huanwan refused the Hong Kong government and the British honours plan, and the other party naturally felt very embarrassed, and while expressing his understanding of the super-billionaire's concerns, he begged him not to make the matter public, or at least after a while, to disclose it.
As a representative, he immediately agreed to it one by one.
Compared with the indifference to the Sir titles attached to the GBE and KBE of the British Empire, Tang Huan attaches great importance to his doctorate and the doctorate of philosophy he brings.
The Institute of ElectricalalandElectronics Engineers, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE, has approved Tang Huan's recommendation to be elected as an IEEE Fellow.
For these academic achievements, in the past five years, Tang Huan has not worked hard ordinarily, using fragmented time to come up with at least one heavyweight paper in the IT field every month, and his professional status has been upgraded to the level of a master.
Aunt Tang Yun praised this and bluntly said that this was Tang Huan's best example in front of the child.
Seeing that everyone was so recognized and happy, Tang Huan held a small private banquet to celebrate, and spent it with the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1983.
As for the scene of "Protecting Flowers" in the United States, with the convenience of the second San Francisco Music Festival, it got a very perfect shooting effect, and when the crew completed the filming of the Golden Gate Bridge in early November, it was announced that it was completed, which made Tang Huan, who had been strangled for more than half a year, breathe a sigh of relief.
I have to say that Tang Huan can be so comfortable "not doing business". It is inseparable from the strength of his subordinates.
Although the three generations of Fangyuan personal computers had an accident with a quality gate. But after a full recycling. Except for a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars on the books, Fangyuan Computer Company has not been affected in other aspects, especially when the three generations of Fangyuan personal computers that have ruled out the problem are put back on the battlefield, the market reaction is unexpectedly enthusiastic.
It is through the test of this crisis that Fangyuan Computer Company has proved its maturity to the outside world, and the fate of the three generations of Fangyuan personal computers will not die tragically early like Apple's AppleIII.
IBM, which most wanted to see jokes, was of course disappointed. In order to boost the morale of their own camp, the news will be released immediately that the new generation of personal computers IBM-PC/AT will be released at COMDEX this fall, and it is completely like they are going to fight to the end with the three generations of Fangyuan personal computers.
Tang Huan didn't care about this, and the soldiers came to block the water and come to Tutun, but what made him speechless was that Apple's MAC project had not yet been delivered.
Everyone is fighting to be the first, why are you Jobs so old and slow down? Methodical shouldn't be like this, the level of project management is really not flattering.
Tang Huan, who was secretly complaining, casually found an opportunity. Asked Macura about it, only to have the other party shrug helplessly. "After seeing the previous competition in the field of graphical user interface systems, Steve's obsessive-compulsive attack on perfection became even more severe, and he immediately postponed the plan to release MAC in the summer for half a year."
"Apple has brought in John. How can a CEO like Scully manage so freely. Tang Huan frowned when he heard this.
"It's all right, John. After Scully took office, Apple's operations were much more orderly, but there was still no one to control Steve. ”
Getting rid of the trivial, relaxed Makula looks like John. Scully was very satisfied, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with the other party's persuasion and agreeing to halve his million-dollar annual salary.
"Mike, you have to understand one thing, the speed of personal computer hardware configuration upgrading can not be ignored, in the research and development of the project, if the progress is delayed again and again, even if the idea is good, it will not be able to withstand the competition from this absolute performance gap." Tang Huan kindly reminded.
"You're right." Makula nodded thoughtfully, "MAC should be released early next year, and if it is delayed, I believe even Steve will have to be exhausted." After all, the company's financial pillar, the Apple II, which is considered to be old, is about to release a new generation of models, the Apple IIGS, and the MAC, a rising star, can no longer be without practical performance. ”
Tang Huan stopped at the point, and when he saw that the other party listened, he didn't talk too much, he still had a lot of things to deal with.
You must know that in addition to commercial advancement, technological breakthroughs cannot be stopped.
Under the guidance of Tang Huan, Zheru R&D Center has been maintaining efficient operation and has developed FlashMemory
To be precise, flash memory is a special variant of EEPROM - Electronic Erase Rewritable Read-only Memory, which is currently the most popular memory product.
As early as 1978, George Perlegos of Intel Corporation changed to a thin gate oxide layer on the basis of EPROM technology, so that without ultraviolet light, the chip could electrically erase its own bits, and then developed the model number 2816 16KBEEPROM.
However, at that time, Intel was not fully aware of the commercial prospects and value of EEPROM.
When the distracted Perlegos brothers, Gordon Campbell - Gordon. After Campbell and others left Intel, Tang Huan, who had long been interested in this technology, became one of the important investors in the company SeeqTechnology founded by these people.
For this reason, Intel was greatly annoyed and started a lawsuit with SeeqTechnology, but the establishment of this company was not related to Gordon, one of the founders of Intel. Moore also had some unclear relationships, coupled with the vigorous mediation of Tang Huan and other shareholders, which ended in friendly mediation.
The R&D center of Zheru has launched flash memory including NOR type and NAND type on the basis of EEPROM, which is a natural fit, and the only question is how to mass-produce it in the factory with a mature process. As for the use, just like EEPROM, Tang Huan has already thought about it.
However, it is not the original SSD that is deeply rooted in time and space, Gayin flash memory and EEPROM are very different in terms of access methods, the latter is carried out in bytes, and the former is carried out in larger "block" units, and the resulting "garbage collection mechanism" algorithm operation requires the performance of the main controller, in the case of large-capacity solid-state drives, it is a severe test for the current semiconductor level.
Compared with EEPROM, flash memory first has obvious cost advantages, and Tang Huan has too many areas to make it go up, such as the font library of printers, which will have more flexible support methods. (To be continued.) )
