"That's it?" Wang Xuehong asked incredulously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"That's because of this." Facing Wang Xuehong's gaze, Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively.

"......" was extremely stunned, so that Wang Xuehong didn't know what to say for a while, and the other party made it clear that because of this reason, what else could he do?

On the contrary, Lin Zheng asked Wang Xuehong with a surprised face: "Mr. Wang, don't tell me that you have not obtained the corresponding authorization. ”

The strength of VIA Electronics has always been reflected in the chipset, they once occupied 50% of the market share in the chipset market, but this does not mean that VIA's own CPU can also occupy half of the CPU market, in fact, VIA's CPU market share has never even exceeded 10%, they can have such a good performance in the chipset market, completely relying on AMD and Intel CPUs to make matching chipsets, If VIA Electronics did not obtain the development authorization of Intel and AMD's latest generation Pentium 4 and K7 CPU chipsets, then VIA Electronics would be miserable, who would buy VIA CPUs for VIA chipsets, not to mention that VIA chipsets are only known for their excellent price/performance ratio, not because of how good their chipsets are.

↙ Wang Xuehong actually understands this truth, but when Lin Zheng said it on the spot, Wang Xuehong still found it difficult to accept: You are a mainland boy, and you don't even have the development ability of CPU and chipset, what are you dragging in front of your mother? What qualifications do you have to look at the old lady?

Speaking of which, the mainland's economy has been inferior to that of the island over the years, which has caused these businessmen on the island to subconsciously develop some bad habits. I always think that the mainland side should be inferior to them and put forward the conditions for themselves. The mainland enterprises were only right because they were ecstatic to accept it, even if they had hit a few nails here in Lin Zheng before. Wang Xuehong is also dead, not to mention that she Wang Xuehong has just obtained a patent lawsuit against Intel.

Not only Wang Xuehong and VIA, but even if you look at the entire island, everyone thinks that VIA and Intel have reached a settlement, and that VIA Electronics has won this "war...... If not, how could the powerful Intel bow to VIA?

However, Wang Xuehong was not completely stimulated by Lin Zheng to lose her mind, and said to Lin Zheng with the anger in her heart: "We are discussing this issue with Intel and AMD......."

"Then I can only say that we may not be able to reach anything substantive this time," Lin Zheng spread his hands, looked at Wang Xuehong with an innocent face, and said, "I remember that I mentioned this in the information I sent to you a year ago?" ”

Did you mention it? Wang Xuehong subconsciously began to recall the content sent by Lianchuang Technology about the communication after the New Year. Immediately, she sadly discovered that the information sent by Lianchuang Technology to VIA Electronics did mention it, but it was placed relatively backward, and it was not marked with emphasis, which is the focus of Lianchuang Technology in the next meeting...... Lianchuang Technology is not stupid, why should I tell you this? Do you want to be prepared? But Wang Xuehong obviously doesn't see it that way, she thinks that she has been cheated by Lianchuang Technology...... So much so that he didn't even care.

But no matter what, the other party finally mentioned it, biting his lip. Wang Xuehong slowly stood up: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back and study it...... I am also waiting for your good news, Mr. Lin. ”

If she doesn't go back, Wang Xuehong estimates that she can be stimulated by Lin Zheng to explode.

"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news." Lin Zheng was still very polite. But this kind of politeness reveals a clear alienation.

That's right, it's alienation. For this, VIA Electronics looks like a bull. But they are just a speculator who does not mix well in Europe and the United States, and wants to make more money in the Chinese market, to some extent. It's like Volkswagen using the money it earned in China to subsidize the European market, but Lin Zheng has never had a good impression of such a master.

……………………………………

With the further outbreak of mobile phone market capacity, in the next few months, Lianchuang Technology's shipments have further increased, but what is more gratifying is that the proportion of shipments of Linux smartphones and JA&VA semi-smartphones is growing, and the shipments of these two mobile phones have accounted for about 8% of Lisheng mobile phones, and are attacking the proportion of 10%.

With the entire Chinese market almost monopolized by the Linux smartphone operating system, Microsoft's days are sad, although they have released the latest windowsmobile2003forpocketpc (referred to as windowsmobile2003) smartphone operating system, but the market reaction is terrible, not only because of the bad user experience of windowsmobile2003, All the more so because of the high licensing price: the lowest of the four editions is $69.

In the face of the high licensing price of Windows Mobile2003, all mobile phone manufacturers who are interested in making efforts in the field of smart phones are complaining, in this case, not only in the Chinese market, even the traditional chassis of Microsoft's mobile operating system: in Europe, the market share of Lianchuang Technology's Linux smartphone operating system is also increasing, and with the support of ICQ stores and WPS, Bill Gates is going to cry.

In the face of a good situation, Lin Zheng's mood was even more excited when he heard the news that the first alpha architecture processor tape-out for mobile phones was officially offline.

Looking at the embedded central processing unit in front of him, which was about the size of a fingernail with two index fingers, Lin Zheng seemed to be looking at his most beloved child: "Have you tested it?" How's it doing? ”

This alpha architecture embedded processor is the focus of Lin Zheng's attention, any bit of progress must be reported to Lin Zheng, for the progress and performance of this embedded processor Lin Zheng knows everything about it, see despite this, Lin Zheng is still excited as if he only saw this processor on the first day.

"After the test, except for the high energy consumption, everything meets our requirements," Academician Chen Zuoning's face was filled with excitement: "However, the Linux system development team has made targeted optimizations for energy consumption, although the battery life is shorter than the ARM architecture, but the difference is not much, only 2 hours." ”

Speaking of this, Academician Chen Zuoning seemed to be a little apologetic, and said to Lin Zheng embarrassedly: "The focus of our next work is to optimize energy consumption, and strive to launch a processor with the same energy consumption level as ARM within half a year, so that compared with ARM, Alpha has a great competitive advantage." ”

Lin Zheng nodded frequently when he listened.

Academician Chen Zuoning said these are also very easy to understand, compared with the ARM architecture processor, the ALPHA architecture was designed for the use of the server at the beginning of the design, energy consumption is obviously not the focus of the ALPHA architecture, in such a short period of time, the ALPHA architecture project team can make this processor from the server to the mobile phone, and also optimize the performance to such an extent, it is indeed not easy.

"Don't worry, take your time," Lin Zheng said casually and comfortingly, and then asked: "So, it will be on the market in almost 4 months?" ”

"As long as there are no major problems with alpha, four months will definitely be fine." Academician Chen Zuoning said with confidence.

Lin Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

These four months are not Lin Zheng's casual nonsense, but the card method schedule for smartphones with alpha processors as the core that was formulated before, the processor has been produced, and the next time is the time for scale testing to ensure that as many bugs as possible are tested. Of course, no one can guarantee that the system is bug-free, otherwise why would any operating system have different versions and continue to be developed? In addition to optimizing the original subsystem and adding new features, another important reason is to fix the bugs in the original system.

"And what about our alpha processors for the next generation of supercomputers?" Seeing this alpha processor, Lin Zheng couldn't help but start to draft: "Can you speed up a little?" ”

As a mobile phone, it obviously doesn't need such a powerful function at the server level, this embedded processor with alpha architecture applied to mobile phones, is simplified and simplified on the basis of the original alpha architecture, but based on the alpha architecture newly developed, the processor used for the latest trillion-level supercomputer is much more difficult to develop than the embedded processor used in mobile phones, Lin Zheng is not satisfied with only doing a supercomputer at the level of hundreds of billions of times, In this era, trillions of times are king.

"I was about to report this problem to you," Academician Chen Zuoning's eyes flashed with cunning: "Our project team is not manpowered, boss, you should hurry up and recruit some more people, I don't want to die young." ”

"You have been waiting for me here for a long time," Lin Zheng laughed when he heard it, but he didn't look angry, the alpha architecture project team is developing so rapidly, Lin Zheng is actually happy to see it, he waved his hand unceremoniously: "Okay, you draw up a plan and send it to me." ”

"That's good," the boss was happy, Chen Zuoning couldn't be more satisfied, such a good company, she was not happy to always invest money from her boss, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, I heard that the state is ready to invest a sum of money to support an enterprise like ours, have you heard?"
