"Ke Zaiqi is here?"

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, as the holder of the X86 instruction set and a staunch ally of Microsoft, Intel CEO Ke Zaiqi came over at this time, and the meaning behind it was really worth playing.

Yang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Xiaobai, invite him in!" ”

"Oh, okay!"

Soon, Bai Hua led the smiling Ke Zaiqi into the living room.

Yang Lin stepped forward, shook hands with Ke Zaiqi with a smile and said, "Mr. Ke Zaiqi, welcome!" ”

Ke Zaiqi smiled: "Mr. Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting!" ”

Yang Lin smiled and said: "Mr. Ke Zaiqi is here, it's too late for me to welcome, how can I say that I am presumptuous!" Come, please take a seat! ”

The two sat down on the couch.

Bai Hua brewed two cups of coffee each, and then sat down beside Yang Lin to act as a translator for the two.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Ke Zaiqi, I don't know what happened to your visit this time?" ”

Ke Zaiqi said: "Mr. Yang, I came here today, I have a question I want to ask you. ”

Yang Lin took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Ke Zaiqi, please speak." ”

Ke Zaiqi said: "I would like to ask, is Matrix Digital interested in cooperating with Intel, and the two sides will each invest one billion dollars to establish a joint venture company to cooperate in the development of a new generation of PC processors under the Mix architecture?" ”

"Establishment of a joint venture company to develop PC processors?"

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, and couldn't help frowning slightly, he never thought that Ke Zaiqi would actually have such an idea.

Currently in the field of smartphones. Matrix Semiconductor and Matrix Electronics are cooperating to launch corresponding system and processor solutions according to the requirements of major mobile phone manufacturers. A PC processor with the Mix instruction set architecture is also in development.

In addition, Yang Lin also plans to develop a new generation of personal computer operating system on the MatrixOS operating system.

However, Yang Lin also knows that in the next two to three years. Matrix Digital is hard for Wintel Alliance.

The reason is very simple, first, there is a huge gap in the software application ecosystem.

Especially in the field of audio-visual games, even if Matrix Digital launches a PC operating system in a short period of time, it cannot support as many software applications as Microsoft's Windows.

Just look at Apple's MacOS, which was the first successful graphics operating system in the commercial field, and even Microsoft's Windows 95 has many traces of imitating MacOS.

But Apple's insistence on installing MacOS only in its own products led to Microsoft's rapid rise in the early days of discovery in the PC industry. After Microsoft has established a complete software ecosystem, Apple's MacOS will no longer have the possibility of competing with Microsoft.

Of course, the situation faced by Matrix Digital is different now, after all, with a big killer like artificial intelligence, coupled with Matrix Language and Mix instruction set chips, Matrix Digital has the basis to replace the Windows operating system.

As for the second reason, it has to do with Intel.

For decades, Intel has built up strong technology in the processor field, with product lines spanning servers, PCs, and supercomputers. Whether it is process, microstructure design or compiler, it has accumulated a deep foundation in the fields of process, microstructure design and compiler.

What's more, just two years ago, Intel injected $4.1 billion into ASML in the Netherlands, taking a 15 percent stake in ASML.

ASML is one of the world's largest manufacturers of semiconductor equipment. Providing lithography machines and related services to the world's most complex integrated circuit manufacturers, the TWINSCAN series is currently the world's highest precision and highest production efficiency. The most widely used high-end lithography machine. At present, the vast majority of semiconductor manufacturers in the world purchase TWINSCAN models from ASML. For example, Intel, Samsung. Hynix, TSMC, SMIC, etc.

As the subject of the Wassenaar embargo, it is difficult for China to obtain high-precision lithography machines.

Because of this, Matrix Digital's Mix architecture has its own advantages in the field of artificial intelligence, but it is difficult to compete with Intel in terms of technology, and there is a big gap with Intel in parameters such as CPU running speed such as floating point computing.

Therefore, matrix digital can only compete with Intel for the PC market at most, and in the server and supercomputer market, it is still Intel's world.

It is precisely because of this that Ke Zaiqi tries to avoid Intel's losses in the PC market in the future by cooperating with Matrix Semiconductor.

It is undeniable that Ke Zaiqi is very accurate on this issue, if Matrix Semiconductor can get technical support from Intel, then there is no doubt that it will achieve a greater advantage in the PC market, but the price paid is 50% of the profit, which is really difficult to choose.

Yang Lin pondered for a moment, looked at Ke Zaiqi and said with a smile: "Mr. Ke Zaiqi, you should know the sensitivity of processor technology, and the joint venture with Matrix Digital, I'm afraid the U.S. Congress won't be able to pass that hurdle?" ”

Ke Zaiqi said: "Mr. Yang, please rest assured, at this time and that time, the current situation above the gang of bigwigs can also see clearly, so let's do it, the US Congress will take care of it, the important thing now is that you and the attitude of the Chinese government." ”

Yang Lin's eyes drooped, he picked up the coffee and took a sip, then put down the coffee and said: "I am willing to discuss cooperation with Intel, but I still need to test the attitude above!" ”

Ke Zaiqi suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Very good, Mr. Yang, since this is the case, then let's take care of the government first, and then talk about it, what do you think?" ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "What Mr. Ke Zaiqi said is exactly what I want!" ”

Ke Zaiqi laughed, took out a business card from his arms and said, "Mr. Yang, this is my personal phone number, if there is any news, please hope to contact at any time!" ”

Yang Lin took Ke Zaiqi's business card and told the other party his personal contact information.

Ke Zaiqi smiled: "Mr. Yang, since this is the case, then let's do this today, I won't bother, goodbye!" ”

"Goodbye!"

Sending Ke Zaiqi away, Yang Lin returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, Bai Hua obediently came up and gently helped him rub his temples.

"Mr. Yang, are we really ready to cooperate with Intel?"

Yang Lin closed his eyes, while enjoying Bai Hua's massage, he shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, there are too many uncertainties, let's take one step at a time!" ”

"Hmm!"

Bai Hua didn't ask any more questions, and concentrated on massaging Yang Lin. (To be continued......)
