Chapter 112 16-bit Plan

Now that the strategy for using tape is out, the action has to begin immediately.

Sanders immediately went to Phillips to negotiate. After all, they now have the best tape technology available.

ON XBOX, CATHERINE USED CASSETTE, BUT SHE KEPT THE CASSETTE SO THAT THE XBOX WAS BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE WITH OVERLORD GAMES. At the same time, Catherine did not completely abandon the cassette, and new cassette technology was still released.

But this cartridge, Catherine is aimed at those game enthusiasts. The cassette version of the game, also known as the "Deluxe Edition".

ALSO, KATHERINE ALSO LAUNCHED A COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF THE XBOX CONSOLE, WHICH RETAILS FOR $499 AND IS AVAILABLE IN LIMITED EDITIONS.

Catherine also had the company prepare various versions of the XBOX console, such as the Mario version, the Tank Wars version, and the Contra version.

However, these models will be bundled with the game - with the collector's cartridge version, of course.

In the United States, there are not a few people who like to collect.

Xiaobawang now has a lot of hardcores, and Catherine believes that once the new console is released, the most basic sales will be no problem.

-- The 60 million sales in history are not deceptive.

But to be honest, XBOX is really not what Catherine wants.

And the CPU of the Z80 is really hard to get Catherine to care about.

Even if XBOX has a performance that can be said to surpass FC, it is an 8-bit system after all.

-- Most importantly, the 8-bit system is used to access the Internet and to enable online battles...... It hurts!

TCP/IPV6 PLANS, AT LEAST IN CATHERINE'S TECHNOLOGY, WOULD REQUIRE A 16-BIT SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE INTERNET. Of course, a network card is a must.

ATT already has a modem, but it's not quite suitable for XBOX.

SFC is the perfect 16-bit system in Catherine's mind, and she is also moving towards SFC many times.

After the appearance of the Z80, Catherine decisively asked Intel to start researching a new generation of CPUs. The new plan, the 16-bit CPU plan.

Of course, it is not impossible to sell a 16-bit XBOX now, after 4 Z80 combinations, and then through guò to write a program, it can indeed achieve the effect of a 16-bit processor. But Catherine didn't think multi-core programs were that easy to develop.

IBM didn't get a multi-core power until the 21st century, not because of the technical difficulties of multi-core CPUs, but because IBM believes that the vast majority of programs cannot support multi-core CPUs well.

And because the program development under the multi-core CPU is much more difficult than the single-core CPU.

What's more, the Z80 uses the NMOS process, which is not impossible to make, but I am afraid that the vulnerability will never be patched, so it is better to develop a new CPU.

Catherine is aiming for the Z8000. The Z8000 is historically an evolution of the Z80 and is also a 16-bit CPU.

Of course, now XBOX and Microsoft II, Catherine is unlikely to give up.

The transformation of various achievements in the R&D stage into products can recover R&D costs in stages, although with Pentagon subsidies, but you can earn a point, that is a point!

For those players, Catherine also holds a belief:

If you can let them use FC first, you won't let them use PS, and when they become addicted to playing games, they will naturally spend money to upgrade.

Of course, FC became XBOX, and PS may also be launched by Catherine herself in the future......

While Catherine was brewing XBOX, in the television industry, three companies sat down.

They are BCA Corporation, General Electric Company, and Westinghouse Electric.

GameTV was born,Before them,Quickly occupy the color TV market。

Especially the trendy look, and the delicate "Tetris".

A set of combination punches down, the TV market of other companies, is squeezed quite strictly.

And in the 50s, they were ready to enter the Japanese market, but they encountered very strong obstacles, so that they chose to license the Japanese factory.

In 1962, BCA first further transferred color TV technology to Japan.

But who knows, at this time, Japanese companies began to change the rudder and comprehensively crack down on those American companies that have transferred technology to Japan!

Companies in the television manufacturing industry, led by BCA, have been hit hard. In this modern story of the Zhongshan wolf, Mr. Nan Guo is undoubtedly BCA.

Faced with a dilemma market, the three companies are infinitely entangled.

Catherine's company is not listed, and the ontology may not be as good as these three companies, and it is difficult to get financial reports, but there is the entire ARK Group behind it.

Together, Japanese companies formed an illegal but unstoppable production cartel. ,

A cartel is an organization of a series of independent enterprises that produce similar products, producers acting collectively with the aim of increasing the price of such products and controlling their production. Cartels are illegal under U.S. antitrust laws.

However, the laws of the United States did not govern Japan, and Japanese goods frantically poured into the United States, and Detroit, the television industry, and so on, were all hit by the destruction of the United States.

Now, the three companies are wondering which side of the alliance is more beneficial to them.

They are in deep worry.

Although they are so entangled, Catherine, one of the sources that makes them entangled, is very comfortable.

As soon as she returned to her home, Catherine found a letter. But Elsa was gone.

When she opened the letter, Catherine realized that it was sent by Ida and them, and she actually let herself go to the villa?

"June 1st?"

There's something strange about Catherine.

If something happens, why don't they just sue themselves?

There's something strange about Catherine.

Because she was so busy, Catherine had completely forgotten about her birthday.

But since they're so mysterious, Catherine can't let them down, and with Elsa in the signature, God knows what they want to do.

In less than two days, it was June 1.

Catherine got to her villa in a car.

Then Catherine found her companions waiting at the door.

"Hey, what the hell are you trying to do?" Catherine got out of the car.

"Welcome, Kate."

They smiled mysteriously at Catherine.

"Kate, are you looking forward to this birthday present?"

Just as Ida said this, Catherine reacted - it turned out that she had a birthday.

"We're going to surprise you." Lisa smiled.

"Really?"

Catherine was really impressed.

At this time, Lisa suddenly took out an eye patch.

"This?"

There was something strange about her.

"Since it's a secret, it's naturally impossible for you to see it so soon~"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Catherine shrugged.
