The design of these two digital power supplies by Mak Ka Shang is nothing at all from the perspective of future generations, and the later generations of computer power supplies do not have the power-saving function in the no-load mode with low power consumption, which is the basic requirement of computer power supply, and there is no technical problem at all.

But in the seventies, many people didn't pay attention to this small detail, even Ling Shizhe when he was designing the computer power supply, and ignored this small problem, but Mai Jiashang noticed, he not only noticed, but also extended this technology to the enterprise server, which had to be admired, so the meat of digital power supply should be eaten by him.

It can also be seen from here that Mai Jiashang is pragmatic and ambitious at the same time, saying that he is pragmatic, is that he did not blindly pursue high-precision, from the beginning of his computer case, he is very clear about his advantages, what is the technical threshold of the computer case? No, anyone can do it, but others have never thought about making the chassis look good, just simply doing OEM.

But he paid attention, so the case design is a little more beautiful, and it stands out in the fierce market competition, and when everyone reflects, it also begins to design the case beautifully, and when Mak Jia Shang has set his sights on the CPU fan.

Over the past few years, he has not only developed and expanded the enterprise, has its own marketing channels, but also accumulated a certain amount of technical reserves.

Ling Shizhe not only signed a power supply purchase contract with Mai Jiashang, but even promised that if the customer reported a good situation, he would also help Jiashang Electronics to connect the bridge and recommend it to third-party server manufacturers, and also signed a long-term cooperation agreement, that is, Jiashang Electronics developed a special digital power controller for the second generation of 16-bit PC computers.

This made Mai Jiashang very happy, this is the largest order received by Jiashang Electronics since its establishment, not to mention anything else, just the arcade machine. can make Mai Jiashang fat.

Starting with Contra, Ambrera Games has released three to five arcade games every year, all of which are classic arcade games that have become very popular in the global market. Each arcade game sells more than 300,000 units, and based on the release of three to five arcade games a year, Ambrera will sell about one million arcade machines in a year.

If every arcade machine was equipped with his power controller, this alone would make Mak Karen a billionaire in a few years, and of course this billion is in Hong Kong dollars. But this is also quite unavoidable in Hong Kong, in addition to Ling Shizhe, a pervert, how many rich people in Hong Kong can become billionaires in just a few years?

This is not counting the server power supply, although the number of purchases cannot be compared with the number of arcades, but the profit of a single machine is high! In the end, the profit from selling the server power supply alone is not lower than the profit of the arcade power supply.

If the second generation of PCs 16-bit personal computer power controller is successfully developed, the profit will be even greater, considering that in 76 alone, Ambrera sold 1.3 million PCs. And that's not even counting PCs made by authorized third-party vendors.

Although 16-bit PCs will not have such big sales at the beginning, with the intuition of McJiashang who has been rolling in the electronics industry for many years, I believe that 16-bit PCs must be the future development direction, as long as Ambrera does not make mistakes, 16-bit PCs replace 8-bit PCs is a sure thing.

But Ling Shizhe will make two mistakes, he is reborn, and he can see the direction of computer development in the next few decades clearly, and the rise and fall of the extremely famous computer manufacturers in later generations can also be seen clearly.

As early as ten years ago, Ling Shizhe set the future development direction for Ambrera, as long as he went step by step. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a giant in the computer industry, not to mention the future, even now Ambrera is incredible, just 76 years have passed. Ambrera Group's entire global sales have exceeded 50 billion US dollars, and nearly 600 million chips have been bought alone.

ECC server chips, DDR memory chips and solid-state drive chips account for half of all chip sales.

A PC only needs a CPU, a GPU, and a single-sided memory module with a capacity of 16K requires eight chips. A double-sided memory module with a capacity of 32K requires sixteen, and if one or two more memory modules are inserted into a computer, the number of chips needed is more, not counting the chips needed for solid state drives, and a solid state drive needs at least 8 memory chips.

This is only a single-sided solid state drive, if in order to maximize the storage capacity of a single SSD hard disk, on both sides of the PCB board to press the FLASH chip, if the level of the hard disk system designer is high enough, a 3.5-inch SSD hard disk can integrate 20 FLASH chips.

In 76 years, Ambrera sold 1.3 million PCs, each PC is equipped with an SSD hard drive, and the FLASH chips required for 1.3 million hard disks are astronomical, which is not counting the number of FLASH chips purchased by third-party authorized manufacturers.

If it is purchased by an enterprise unit, the demand for FLASH chips is even greater, and the number of hard disks required for a standard database center is often tens of thousands.

This is only the 70s when computers first began to be popularized, and if it is the 21st century, the annual shipment of various memory chips in the world is tens of billions.

Tens of billions of shipments per year? It's too exaggerated, isn't it? Not at all, look at the 2014 Chinese computer sales data you will know whether there is an exaggeration, in 2014 alone, China alone sold 120 million desktops, laptops sold 160 million units, smartphones sold more than 300 million units, think about how many people China has, this is still the sales data of a country in China, what is the number of global computer sales, and how many memory chips are needed? Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to ship tens of billions of memory chips every year.

After the contract was signed, seeing the excitement on Mai Jia's face that couldn't be hidden, Ling Shizhe took the opportunity to say, "Boss Mai, are you interested in making a graphics card?" ”

"Graphics card? This seems to be technically demanding, right? Mak Jiashang said a little uncertainly.

Ling Shizhe laughed when he heard this: "Although the graphics card has high requirements for technology, it is by no means what you think. We've developed a technology specifically for 16-bit PCs called discrete graphics, and we're looking for partners right now, and we're going to release all of them in the future, so we're going to focus on providing GPUs and graphics solutions to graphics card manufacturers.

At present, we have reached a cooperation with ASUS in Taiwan on discrete graphics cards, and Gigabyte in Taiwan/Bay has really talked to us, we are currently lacking a Hong Kong company to cooperate with us, and I don't know if Boss Mai is interested in discrete graphics cards. ”

"Can I take a look first?" Mak Jiashang thought for two minutes and then said.

"Yes. Please follow me. Ling Shizhe raised his hand and asked outside the door and took the lead in leaving the room.

When I came to the graphics department, the staff had already prepared, a Western-style oval conference table. A row of Apple PCs, each with their monitors lit up.

Mai Jiashang looked over one by one seriously, followed by his secretary and assistant, Ling Shizhe looked at the slender figure on the back of Mai Jiashang's secretary, and quietly shook his head. secretly said in his heart, Mai Jiashang found this secretary is really coquettish, but I didn't expect him to be so good.

This column is all Ambrera's latest 16-bit PC, the first screen shows the fighting game "Famous General" developed by Ambrera Games, a company's game technician is playing hard, the picture that should be relatively dull is very smooth at the moment, the toy-controlled mummy swordsman just appeared when the flickering picture, without the slightest delay, under his operation to move quickly on the map.

The mummies he controls defeat wave after wave of enemies. All kinds of fighting grands are very cool.

Mark. Saini stepped forward and said to the technician, "It's like a guest showing the graphics card's display performance." ”

"Yes." After the technical answer, the mummy swordsman performed more hard, especially the beautiful "sticky" skill, which appeared to be smooth under the interpretation of the technician.

Agile sliding runs, circular runs, jumping on the spot attack, knee bending jump attack, spinning knife wheel, somersault, fish leap stabbing and hand-to-hand combat are all vividly demonstrated under the mastery of the technicians.

In order to show the guests various stunts, this technician ignored the enemy, and as a result, he was beaten by the enemy and died.

"I'm very sorry. I was so nervous just now! The technician quickly apologized.

"No, that's okay! Even though you were killed, you performed very well and I saw what I wanted to see. Mak Jiashang nodded with satisfaction.

Mak motioned for the technician to get out of the way. I sat in front of the computer and operated it myself.

The graphics are very well done, the processing and calculations are excellent, and the sequence of action and explosions is very clear. The card does take over all the graphics processing, and the CPU only needs to concentrate on data processing, and the two work together very smoothly.

Such a clear division of labor. Only when the technical connection of the mutual division of labor is done in advance can it be perfectly realized.

It seems that Ambrera was ready to develop a graphics processor when developing a 16-bit PC computer, leaving soft switches on the processor in advance. As soon as the graphics card installer runs, the processor recognizes the model of the graphics card and smoothly separates the main graphics data and transmits it to the graphics processor for calculations, which is indeed a lot better than the previous 8-bit computer.

Playing games on the computer, Mai Jiashang never thought of it before, Ambrera Company is far-sighted!

"Another game!" Ling Shizhe instructed.

Games developed by their own company are naturally unique in terms of hardware calls. If you want to test the real level of the graphics card, it is best to change the game developed by a neutral company to see how effective the graphics card can be.

It's a pity that the neutral game developers at this time have not fully grown up in game production technology, and the 16-bit PC has not yet been released, and there is no neutral game developer to develop 16-bit games for the 16-bit PC, so Ling Shizhe can only show Mak Ka-shang the games developed by his company.

"Great game." Mak Ka Shang paused, "Will the game be released at the same time as the computer?" ”

Ling Shizhe said: "No, we will only release this game on the arcade. Two other games are available on PC - Age of Exploration and Cooking Piggy. ”

…… Mai Jiashang was stunned, Ling Shizhe smiled, pointed at the computer table, and said, "Look at this?" ”

A gadget that looked like a mouse, with a long wire attached to the computer case in the front, and Mak Ka Shang picked up this little thing, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure out what it was for.

Seeing that he was confused, Ling Shizhe explained with a smile: "This device is called a mouse. (To be continued.) )
