Chapter 229: Challenging Intel

"There's a problem, you don't need to make big changes, just adjust it." Lu Yang touched the glasses, projected the structure diagram on the glasses screen to the computer, and then pointed out the parts that needed to be adjusted.

Looking at the place Lu Yang pointed to, the researchers who gathered around didn't care about being surprised by the pair of smart glasses, but immediately wrote them down and prepared to adjust them for experiments. Many people still have doubts in their hearts, after all, this project is a problem that they have been working on, and so many people have not been able to solve it, Lu Yang solved it after two glances, even if the boss is a technical genius, this is too mysterious.

If anyone is confident in Lu Yang's solution, it is Guo Wei. Since the establishment of Tianxin Chip Laboratory, he has followed Lu Yang, and many people put the credit of Star Core on his head at the beginning, but all the employees of Tianxin Chip Laboratory know that this honor does not belong to Guo Wei and his colleagues, but to Lu Yang. Including the IUX architecture, as well as the manufacturing process of Tianxin chips comparable to the world's top level, these are all established by Lu Yang.

Guo Wei, who knows Lu Yang's ability, has a kind of blind trust in him, and this kind of trust is not even obtained by his teacher.

"After this adjustment, I believe that the compatibility problem can be solved smoothly. However, if we want to truly realize industrial production and commercial promotion, there are still many problems we will face in the future. Guo Wei is very emotional, he knows that no matter how good the technology of Tianxin chips is, it is destined to be a very difficult thing to open the market in the situation of Intel's dominance of the world.

Intel, that is a really powerful opponent, in the history of human computer development, countless companies have left their mark, but there are very few companies that can really be called "great", and Intel is at the top of this list. Forty years ago, it was Intel that opened the curtain on the development of computer processors, and three years later, it introduced the 8080 processor, whose developers confidently asserted that "the 8080 will change the entire history of computers". After that, the advent of the personal computer era intensified the competition in the processor market. In the following three decades, Intel defeated countless competitors and climbed to the top of the world, and today Intel occupies more than 80% of the global personal computer CPU market. In terms of CPU performance, Intel's products dominate the supercomputer market.

If you just look at the market capitalization, I'm afraid you can't really understand the horror of Intel. In fact, Intel's market capitalization is not high, more than 100 billion dollars, but in fact, it contains far more energy than that.

"It's definitely a crazy decision to challenge Intel." Guo Wei had confusion in his eyes, "Boss, can we really succeed?" ”

Lu Yang can understand Guo Wei's awe of Intel.

"Intel is really strong, and to be honest, in my opinion, Intel is more difficult to deal with than Apple." Lu Yang was also very cautious, but as soon as his voice changed, the courage to dare to face everything returned, "However, this does not mean that Intel is invincible." Why are we afraid of it? Because it is strong, it monopolizes nearly 90% of the global market, but that doesn't mean Intel won't be beaten. Lao Guo, think about it, four years ago, Nokia and Motorola were so powerful, but now? The only people who can really win are those who dare to innovate and use them to pioneer and challenge, and it is this role that we play. ”

"Intel and Nokia are not the same." Guo Wei retorted, "Nokia is complacent in the face of new technologies, and Intel will not." In recent years, Intel has been updating its processors faster and faster, especially the Core series they have launched, and the manufacturing process and performance have been continuously improved. Not to mention, they also set most of the CPU standards. ”

Lu Yang knew that what Guo Wei said was the truth, and Intel's R&D and innovation were by no means comparable to Nokia.

"The Core is a very good CPU, however, our Superstar isn't bad either. The latest Core i3 uses a 32nm manufacturing process, which is no different from Superstar. In terms of integration, i3 integrates GPU, but the performance is limited, which is more than superstar. The only thing that worries me is compatibility issues and market acceptance......" Lu Yang is also very sober in his heart.

Guo Wei nodded: "Super Star Project, I have communicated with the teacher." He previously led the research and development of CPUs at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. According to my teacher's understanding, if we can really solve the compatibility problem, there should be no need to worry about domestic marketing, and the state will have corresponding support. It also depends on the performance of our products, whether they can replace Intel. In addition, the teacher also specifically suggested that I develop supercomputer processors, because at present, domestic supercomputers use American CPUs. If we can make a breakthrough in this area, it will be a good opportunity for the country and for us. ”

"You decide this matter, the group will fully support you, how much money is needed, you apply with Su Yan, and I will make it clear to her." Lu Yang agreed with Guo Wei's views and expressed unconditional support.

"In terms of time, I can relax you a little, but Lao Guo, the first CPU of Tianxin chip must have world-leading performance and cannot be lost to Intel. You just need to do a good job in research and development, and I will let Su Yan be responsible for the promotion of chips. Anyway, you can't smash the signboard of Tianxin Group! Lu Yang's tone was a lot harsher.

Guo Wei nodded solemnly: "Boss, don't worry, I will take care of it." ”

Coming out of the chip lab, Lu Yang had a feeling of amazement, looking at the sky of Shencheng, he felt that the changes in the world were so magical. Lu Yang is very familiar with Shencheng, and here he has spent the most confused three years. At that time, he walked into this strange city from his hometown thousands of miles away, and he didn't know where the future was. And by the time he left the city, he had a clear direction in mind.

The unsuccessful college entrance examination candidates...... Down-and-out wage earners...... Work hard to become a manager...... Get an adventure and go south to start a business...... Billionaire ...... Tech Genius...... The richest man in China......

Lu Yang thought about the experience of the past 8 years, and suddenly felt like a dream.

"All of this should be true, right?" Lu Yang walked on the side of the road in a low-key manner, not far behind him, a black Audi followed unhurriedly, about five meters beside him, and four bodyguards walked synchronously with him.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Lu Yang felt a little hot, so he found a restaurant and walked in. It was 3 p.m., and there was only one elderly woman cleaning in the restaurant, and no one else. Seeing Lu Yang coming in, the other party hurriedly greeted him.

Lu Yang found a place by the window and ordered two things casually.

"Here...... It's so familiar, it's come here! Lu Yang looked outside, and the memories of many scenes revived in his mind. Lu Yang suddenly remembered that he had been to this place many times before.

"In five years, a lot ......has changed here," Lu Yang has determined, this is the place he used to come to when he was working in Shencheng. When he was doing sales at the beginning, for the sake of performance, Lu Yang was often too busy to eat, and finally bought something to eat at a steamed bun shop opposite the restaurant. From here, about ten minutes to the east, is the company where he worked.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang suddenly became interested, and he wanted to go back and see how the company was doing.

The scale of the company where Lu Yang worked was not large, including the boss, there were about 100 people, including more than 80 salespeople. In Shencheng, such a company is really inconspicuous. Since Lu Yang entered this company, almost every day, he could see people coming and leaving. With this desire to make money? Hope, Lu Yang persevered here, and has been the team leader, that is, the middle-level manager, and there are more than a dozen salesmen under him. Later, the company wanted to promote a supervisor to become the regional manager, Lu Yang was still a little excited, but finally learned that this position was simply prepared by the boss for his son who came back from abroad, which made Lu Yang disappointed.

Lu Yang asked Li Zirui to buy him a hat, then put on a pair of sunglasses and walked towards the company's location.

This company is engaged in food trading, and the owner is a native of Shencheng, who is very shrewd. In terms of ability, this person is still very strong, in just two years, a company that has just been established with less than ten people has developed into a well-known enterprise in the industry, which is relatively remarkable.

Lu Yang himself is not a person who can get along with his boss, and he and the boss did not appreciate him, nor did he express his dislike. The reason why Lu Yang was able to become a supervisor at the beginning relied on his enthusiasm that was not afraid of hardship. Because of this, when Lu Yang resigned, the company's boss did not do much to retain him.

Lu Yang walked into the office building, looked through the glass door, and looked at the office where he used to work......

More than a dozen men and women in formal attire rushed in and out, each with a document bag in his hand. The man who looked like the director was talking to his men, waving his hands as he spoke. The phone rang non-stop in the office, and several salesmen shouted into the phone.

"Who are you? What's the matter? Lu Yang recalled the scene when he worked here, but was interrupted by a voice.
