But what do you do next?

According to the plan, it should be to march towards the electronics industry, and Catherine has even organized a group of skilled workers to tackle key problems, just to study one of the most important things - CPU.

However, there is no progress on this plan for the time being. Although Catherine knew the structure of the CPU, it was difficult to realize the process of miniaturizing it. Luckily, Catherine knew a lot about it.

CPU is not difficult to say, although it is in this era.

Of course, if you have to say something "craft" or something, it must be incomparable.

But the simplest CPU, if you want to make zuò, is not so difficult.

You know, in the future, there will be many American computer enthusiasts who have made their own CPUs, although they are very rough, but they are very good to use.

The hardest part is miniaturization.

Once this issue is resolved, Catherine's GameTV will be able to launch a separate console version.

Catherine ordered a batch of miniature transistors from Fairchild, and then gave them to the mechanics to study and assemble, and finally got the first CPU she wanted, and by this time, it was already mid-November.

It's an extremely rough CPU made up of 2250 transistors, but from the outside, it feels good.

Without a doubt, this is the world's first micro CPU.

This CPU is capable of processing 4-bit numbers jù, performing 60,000 operations per second, clocked at 0.74MHz, and running at 108KHz.

――In fact, this CPU is almost identical to the number jù of the first CPU in history. The only difference is probably what it looks like.

In fact, this CPU is the size of two playing cards lying flat.

I have to say that Moore's Law really makes some sense - of course, Moore himself is still in Fairchild and has not put forward this concept.

In the original time and space, Catherine cared very much about the beauty of appearance, and after coming to this world, Catherine felt more and more that she seemed to have become a perfectionist.

CPUs can also be cool and popular.

Although Catherine wants to say this, the CPU wants to be fashionable...... Hehe.

She just tried to make this CPU look more sci-fi and beautiful, which is a must.

Because her own company plan was taken away by Bruce, Catherine concocted another company plan on the other side.

And the name of this company is Intel.

In fact, Intel and Apple are complementary.

Catherine eventually wants to separate the game features of GameTV, and Intel happens to be able to bring enough support to its future Apple.

With a CPU, it means that the market is completely unfolding on its own.

At least to Catherine, IBM seemed to be much easier to deal with than the arms bosses.

By the way, Catherine undertook a restructuring of her company.

The Ark Group, the core of Catherine's company, also bought a small bank that was about to fail.

-- At this time, small banks were struggling to operate, and it was a time when the US banking industry was turning around.

Because of the deposit of the Antitrust Act, a competitor company is not allowed to acquire such a company, and such a bank can only end up failing. And after learning that Catherine was going to buy it, the original shareholders almost half sold and half gave away, so they got rid of the bank.

After all the business was disposed of, Catherine's corporate core was completed.

When Catherine deals with such things, she often likes to prepare everything first, so that things will fall into place, and there is no need to do any reorganization, grouping, etc., which can save a lot of time.

Under the umbrella of the Ark Group, there are several wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Intel, a recent company, focuses on semiconductors -- to be more precise, all kinds of equipment for computers.

And then there's Apple. Catherine positions Apple as entertainment and fashion. The company's main business is television, gaming equipment, and computers. GameTV was Apple's first product.

Then there's Blizzard Entertainment, the toy company that was originally the Hogwarts Wizardry Factory - and now a division of the Magic Chess series. But now, Catherine is positioning it as a gaming company. Not only will it be a tabletop type of game, but it will also develop video games in the future. Catherine even handed over the arcade of GameTV to this company. ,

Catherine's name may not have any technical content, but this kind of name also shows Catherine's expectations for her company.

The company's total assets are now about nearly 10 million. The vast majority of the profits are provided by the Hogwarts Wizarding Factories under Blizzard Entertainment. But these profits are basically at the top, and it is impossible to bring more wealth to Catherine, so it is necessary to start from other aspects.

The patent for the micro CPU belongs to Catherine, and with this, the appearance of the personal computer, that is, a few months ago.

Although it is said to be a patent for micro CPUs, it actually has 48 patents. Just like the patent for integrated circuits.

Although it is collectively referred to as integrated circuits, Catherine has a total of 75 patents in this area, but they all belong to the type of integrated circuits, and it is these patents that block the patent road of Texas Instruments and Fairchild.

To this end, Catherine has increased her investment in Intel, hoping to catch up with the Seattle World Expo in April next year.

Unlike other industries, in the electronics industry, Catherine does not value monopolies, because monopolies in this area can only cut off the blooming state of the electronics industry, or even delay the emergence of personal computers.

And when it comes to computers, monopolization and closure are simply a wrong approach.

Apple in the 80s, it was because of its closed standards that it led their company to decline, and knowing that Jobs returned to Apple, it saved Apple's decline and defeat.

So, what Catherine is thinking about is to set a standard, a computer standard!

With the standard, any company can only do what it says it makes, and that's what Catherine wants.

There is a good saying, third-rate companies do products, second-rate companies do brands, and first-rate companies do standards.

Catherine just wanted to make Intel a first-class company.
