The media jokes are jokes, and industry experts like Tang Huan will not take it seriously - no one can ignore IBM's technical strength in the high-end field, not to mention that this time the blue giant has changed its procrastination style, and the product line layout can be described as thorough.

RS/6000, which uses the Power microprocessor, has launched the PowerServer series and PowerStation series for the server and workstation markets, respectively, and has expanded down to mobile computers and desktop computers, and has a great tendency to counterattack the PC market.

As the most important core component of the computer hardware system, in addition to the conventional design of the current RISC, Power also breaks one of the unique skills of the Zheru holder, that is, register renaming and out-of-order execution technology that are important for the parallel execution of processors.

This limited data flow architecture computing method was successfully introduced into the microprocessor for the first time. Don't look at competitors like MIPS and SPARC, taking advantage of the RISC craze to also mix up, but at key nodes such as these, you can only make a futile expression. But now, IBM's Power is the first to break the monopoly of Zheru holders.

The Power microprocessor, which IBM has high hopes for and is used as a lifesaver, starts at 20MHz. RS/6000 with CPU support between 8MB and 128MB of memory.

In terms of software, RS/6000 is also an "orange suit", with IBM's own operating system AIX and relational database management system DB2 and other products available.

In fact, with only these two platforms, RS/6000 is enough to start a new round of competition with Fangyuan servers and Fangyuan workstations in the enterprise market.

In addition, IBM has also put down its position and joined forces in the industry, trying to find more use for the Power architecture, not to mention, and soon hooked up with Apple.

After getting rid of Steve Jobs, Apple is finally a properly functioning company.

CEO John Scully took the same marketing skills from PepsiCo and made the product line clear.

Jean-Louis Gassi, who took over the MAC department after Steve Jobs, was eventually promoted to head of development. During his tenure, he continued to eliminate low-end products, while raising prices to take the high-end route, which was in line with John Scully's thinking.

To be sure, in the early years of their rule, Apple's performance was remarkable, proving to the outside world that it was right to get rid of Steve Jobs as the founder.

However, computers are not cola after all, and no matter how much marketing is done, in the end, it is still up to technical strength to speak.

In the past two years, sales of Apple products have fallen sharply as a result.

In this way, Jean-Louis Garcy was the first to be questioned and forced to leave this year, and Michael Spindler took over as head of development, and naturally began to rethink Apple's product development, and the first point was the need for a CPU with strong enough performance.

Due to the long-term adoption of Motorola's MC68000 series microprocessors, Apple naturally hoped that the other party would provide a solution.

In the same grade competition of the latest generation of CPUs, Motorola's MC68040 performance exceeds Intel's Intel80486, but heat generation is a problem that cannot be ignored, and the two sides can only be regarded as a tie.

Therefore, Apple hopes to use the industry's unanimously optimistic RISC microprocessor to make its personal computer products worthy of the high-end route, but Motorola's RISC research and development results, MC88000, performed poorly, so that Apple, which was greatly disappointed, had to give up the idea of adoption.

At this time, Power was born, and it was just the right time for Apple to find a solution, and then hit it off with IBM.

According to the cooperation statement between the two parties, IBM will derive a type of CPU suitable for personal computer hardware systems for Apple on the Power architecture.

Tang Huan, who was at the headquarters of the National Science Foundation of the United States, couldn't help frowning after receiving this series of news -- if IBM really seized the opportunity of the rise of the Internet to demand for high-end products such as servers, maybe it would really be able to operate from time to time.

Tang Huan visited the National Science Foundation, and the lobbying effect was not great, because the funding came from Congress, and whether it could be commercialized naturally had to be approved by the other party, and there were many procedures to go through.

In this case, let's put it first, this trip was also a try, Tang Huan was still very patient, so he turned to NSF's upcoming start-up plan with a target of 45mbps.

Gaine, there will be a considerable number of new network nodes involved, which is a very valuable large procurement contract for the square circle server.

Unexpectedly, IBM just announced that it would introduce Power into supercomputers to defeat Japan, which had just won the world's fastest computer crown, and brought RS/6000 to grab orders.

Now the richest man An Sheng is finally angry, is this taking advantage of the fact that I have been away from the mainstream society for a long time, and my subordinates have more than enough to defend and develop enough, and they are bullied?

You know, the number of Internet visits has doubled in less than 7 months, which is why NSF increases its speeds every few years.

While NSF prides itself on being open and inclusive, it's impossible to take a solution that doesn't have an impact the next time.

In other words, if you make an order one upgrade at a time, the greater the inertia of choice caused by technical stickiness in the future, and the probability of winning a new order will also increase.

Based on these reasons, how could Tang Huan tolerate IBM coming to take prey?

The previous order to upgrade the financial system on Wall Street was lost, and the culprit of "Black Monday" was not so easy to carry, but NSF did not have similar avoidance concerns.

When he came to New York, when the media talked about his views on IBM's launch of POWER, as well as the full line of new products such as RS/6000, Tang Huanhao said unceremoniously: "In addition to out-of-order execution, Holder has many other exclusive technologies that make competitors unreachable. ”

"In addition, Zheru has set its sights on the 64-bit architecture, which is the same as the hard indicators such as operating frequency and process, and the performance improvement brought by it is not a small tinkering to catch up."

After smashing the media into an uproar with the future, Tang Huan continued to express his stance on the current situation: "Fangyuan Computer Company will once again compete for the title of the world's fastest computer, and I believe that within two years, it will surpass the 23.2GFLOPS of Japan's NEC's SX-3/44R." ”

The reporters quickly recorded, but they didn't realize that the richest man who talked about it was no longer the chairman of the board of directors of Fangyuan Computer Company, so it seemed a little inappropriate to continue to speak as a spokesperson.

Tang Huan, who felt speechless, hurriedly changed the topic and said: "At this stage, the integrity of the ecosystem on the Fangyuan computer platform can be called the first in the industry. ”

"For the enterprise market of emerging World Wide Web applications, there is Artascope for server operating systems, ebase for databases, ZIS for servers, Polestar for browsers, development tools for the most powerful zerone_c++ _buider, and the latest rapid application development tools for Delphi...... And so on and so forth. What other platform can provide such a perfect complete solution? ”

Mr. The richest man's words, after being spread by the media, were like a stone being thrown into a calm pond, which immediately caused a sensational reaction in the industry, and each company compared it to determine the location of its own products.
