. Regarding the pseudo-artificial intelligence Abertiel, Shi Lei knew a secret. That secret is the secret that Shi Lei found after studying and communicating with Abertier and invading and fighting for a year.

Maybe in the future, Shi Lei can use that secret

At more than nine o'clock in the evening, Shi Lei's mobile phone on the computer desk rang, and the caller ID was actually Li Jianguo's phone, which made Shi Lei very surprised.

Because in this life, Shi Lei has no friends of Li Jianguo!

Although he didn't know who called from Lu Dao, Shi Lei still pressed the connect button and asked in English: "This is Shi Lei, who are you?" ”

When the other party heard Shi Lei's pure English, he seemed to be a little stunned, and then said in English: "Hello, is it Mr. Shi Lei from Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd.?" ”

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Shi Lei didn't understand how the other party knew about his phone number, although his phone number was not particularly confidential, it shouldn't be that people in Li Jianguo also knew about his phone number, right?

"Hello Mr. Shi, I'm Tom, Senior Vice President of AMD. Crussy. We AMD hope to carry out mutually beneficial cooperation with Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd., I wonder if Mr. Shi Lei has any intention of cooperation? "His name is Tom. The man in Cruxi, speaking bluntly in English.

Shi Lei hesitated slightly, AMD is one of the largest CPU manufacturers and sellers in the world, and the other is Intel. More than 99 percent of the world's personal computers and server CPUs are used in one of these two groups.

It can be said that AMD and Intel are the overlords of the computer world!

Why would a super-large company like AMD suddenly find Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. and offer to cooperate?

Shi Lei was thinking about AMD's purpose in his mind, and at the same time responded: "Hello, Tom. Mr. Crusey. How do you plan to cooperate with Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd., AMD? ”

AMD's capital is huge, and there is no detailed statistics on how many assets it has, but Shi Lei remembered one thing. In 2006, AMD acquired ATI, a well-known graphics card manufacturer, with an acquisition capital of $5.4 billion.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed in Shi Lei's heart, could it be about ATI?

On the phone, Tom. Cruxi replied to Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, I'm afraid you also know the way." We at AMD, acquired ATI last year, making ATI a wholly owned subsidiary of AMD. ”

'Sure enough, it's for ATI's business! Shi Lei had a secret chip in his heart, but he didn't open his mouth and continued to wait for Tom. Crucy spoke.

"Mr. Shi. Regarding ATI's market share in Xia Guo, it has been surpassed by nVIDIA. We at AMD attach great importance to the market in the summer country. Therefore, we want to expand ATI's market share in the summer country. Therefore. We are going to start a series of cooperation programs with you Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd.! ”

Shi Lei coughed, "Mr. Tom, how can we cooperate?" ”

"Mr. Shi, your dream entertainment company will be held on April 30 this year. Launching an epoch-making online game called "The World of the Brave"? And the closed test is going on April 30th, right? "Tom. Crucey asked.

"That's right! Mr. Tom is very well informed, but the first time the beta is closed, we don't plan to test it in the country! Shi Lei said deliberately unceremoniously. But he knew Tom. Cruci is not here.

"Mr. Shi, you misunderstood, we at AMD don't want to get the agency rights in the Lijian region. We hope that your company can give us some invitation codes for closed beta, so that we can sell high-end ATI graphics cards with them. "Tom. Crucy explained.

Shi Lei understood Tom. Cruthy means that he wants to use "The Brave World" to drive the sales of ATI's high-end graphics cards. However, the sales volume of ATI high-end graphics cards in Xia Guo is a terrifying number every day, and "The Brave World" simply can't provide so many test places!

At the beginning of the first chapter of "The World of the Brave", Shi Lei planned to test for two months, and issued a total of 350,000 to 500,000 test accounts.

The so-called 80 million investment, in fact, most of it is used to buy game servers, after all, only the first chapter is developed, how much can it cost?

If you cooperate with AMD and give away the invitation code for the closed beta of "The World of the Brave" in ATI's high-end graphics card, then only 350,000 invitation codes are definitely not enough!

Although it is sold with ATI high-end graphics cards to help enhance the reputation of "The Brave World", the fame of "The Brave World" in the Xia Kingdom is unprecedentedly huge, and there is no need for other external forces to promote it.

"Mr. Tom, I wonder what you AMD can give us Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd." Shi Lei asked rhetorically.

The most basic condition for the so-called cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win results!

If it benefits unilaterally, it is called an unequal treaty, not cooperation. If AMD wants to get the invitation code for the closed beta of "The World of the Brave", then they should pay at least the same amount of benefits to be able to impress Shi Lei.

"Mr. Shi, as far as we understand from AMD, your company doesn't have a server for the Brave World, right? At AMD, we can sell you a server with excellent performance at cost price. "Tom. Crucy made one condition.

High-performance servers are not just about buying them. Although the basic hardware is indeed bought if you want to, including supercomputers, it is just a cluster server formed by a lot of CPUs gathered together, but it is not simply a supercomputer that can be formed by simply gathering CPUs together.

Whether it's a high-performance server or a supercomputer, in addition to expensive hardware, you need a corresponding operating system. High-performance servers and supercomputer systems are the stuff of secrets!

In addition to the external commercial server operating system, other supercomputer systems are basically closed systems in order to increase the safety factor.

AMD thought that Shi Lei did not have a high-performance server to use as a server for "The Brave World", but they underestimated Shi Lei too much!

If they half-sold and half-gave Shi Lei a supercomputer, Shi Lei might agree to their conditions, but they were only willing to sell a high-performance server to Shi Lei at cost price. This is a bit underestimated!

Shi Lei responded without moving: "What kind of high-performance servers do you plan to sell to me?" ”

"Supercomputer!" Tom. Cruthy said in an impassioned tone, "A supercomputer with a computing performance of at least 10 TFLop/s!" ”

Shi Lei's heart moved, although according to the design of "The World of the Brave", more graphics computing processing pressure is located on the client's computer hardware, but Shi Lei has a grand plan, that is, to gather all players in one server.

To achieve this, it is essential to use a supercomputer as a server! Otherwise, you want to concentrate hundreds of thousands of players in one server. It's a fantasy.

But buying a supercomputer is not an easy task. In particular, the computing speed of 10TFLop/s, this kind of supercomputer with computing performance reaching the top 100, and even ranking more than 50, is not something you can buy if you want to!

"Mr. Tom. Do you AMD provide a supporting supercomputer system? Shi Lei asked additionally. If they don't provide a supercomputer system. Although Shi Lei can also write it. But Shi Lei doesn't have time!

Shi Lei has a lot of things to do recently!

Speech system, pupil tracking system, lip recognition system, virtual map construction, metal exoskeleton system, and even NPC intelligence system based on GMM model. In the end, Shi Lei has to solve it.

In addition, there is one more thing that Shi Lei needs to deal with

With so many things, where does Shi Lei have time. To write the operating system of a supercomputer?

The operating system of a supercomputer is not as simple as Server 1 and can be completed in a short period of time. If Shi Lei wants to complete the operating system of the supercomputer independently, it will not take two or three months, it is a dream!

"We at AMD can provide the operating system of the supercomputer, but you need to pay for the use of the operating system separately." Tom. Crucy responded.

The way foreigners talk is more direct, what they need and what they can give, then say it directly, there is no Xia people who like to play dumb riddles.

"Mr. Tom, how much are you AMD going to sell us with a supercomputer plus an operating system?" Shi Lei wants to hear the price first, if the price is not expensive, Shi Lei really wants to buy a supercomputer, even if the computing speed of this supercomputer is only 10TFLop/s, but having his own supercomputer will be able to realize Shi Lei's fantasy, so that all players in "The Brave World" will gather on one server to play.

Tom. Crussy hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Shi, the total price is a bit expensive!" The price of a supercomputer requires 200 million Xia Guoyuan, and the operating system requires a licensing fee of 10 million Xia Guoyuan. ”

Shi Lei directly retorted: "Mr. Tom, you AMD company has no sincerity in cooperation at all!" ”

"Mr. Shi, we at AMD have a very sincere cooperation mentality." Tom. Cruxi hurriedly spoke: "The price of a supercomputer is indeed so expensive. You can consult the relevant situation of the industry, although in our country, the price will be reduced a lot, but your country will charge high tariffs, which is not something we can control. ”

Shi Lei was a little helpless!

Xia's tariffs on electronic products, in 07 years, were scary!

"Mr. Tom, even because of tariffs, you AMD don't have the slightest sincerity in cooperating. You not only want our dream entertainment Co., Ltd.'s invitation code for the closed beta, but also want to sell your products to us. Such a cooperation plan belongs to your AMD unilateral benefit, right? What benefits have we gained from Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd.? Shi Lei asked with a tough tone.
