Chapter 537 Frontal Conflict? (Above)

Intel's press conference was held as scheduled, there was no problem, there were not many people sitting in the living room, Yang Yiwei, Xia Xuelan, and Xiaoxi, even Lulu was not there, Lulu went to the company, Xu Zhennan had already driven Madagascar back to China, but now it should also be paying attention to this press conference.

Skip the nonsense or anything, when Paul came out to announce the important information, Yang Yiwei, who was sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, also sat up straight, although Yang Yiwei believed in Xiaoxi, but he also had to pay attention to the enemy strategically.

"Hello journalists, the main purpose of this press conference is related to the major strategic development of intel in the future, intel will launch a new architecture of CPU in the next three years, and will release two new CPUs after this press conference." With Paul's breathless voice, the whole room immediately became manic, and all the reporters began to have their eyes lit up.

I muttered to myself in my heart, here! Here it comes! Sure enough, it was known that the news of intel this time must be aimed at the acquisition of AMD by Starfall Group, and the major media also made speculations before the press conference, but I didn't expect it to be the case now, the previous intel's CPUs were all single, or they were updated with more advanced CPUs on the previously released series. For example, I5, I7 series, the previous I5 was 32 nm, and then the 22 nm technology appeared, and the 22 nm new products were updated, and the performance and so on have been improved.

And now Paul is talking about two new CPUs, which means that it is not the I7 and I5 series CPUs that Intel occupies the mainstream of the market. However, according to Paul's words, the new CPU that appeared this time should be the engineering prototype of the I9 that was exposed before, and it is estimated that it will be officially released now. As for the other new CPU. That's not clear.

"I believe that all journalist friends,And the audience who watched the live broadcast are already looking forward to these two CPUs of intel,I won't sell it here,First of all, it's the first one,That is, the core I9 series with an engineering model that came out a long time ago,6 cores and 12 threads of super CPU,This CPU we use the latest 22nm technology,And its performance has been greatly improved compared with the previous engineering model, FOR THE FIRST TIME, ITS MAIN FREQUENCY HAS REACHED SUPERMAN'S 4.2GHZ, WHICH WILL BE AN EPOCH-MAKING SUPER CPU." Paul's words are full of tension. As soon as his words fell, there was a commotion and exclamation from the press gallery below, accompanied by applause.

Since you come to the press conferences of these tech companies, the reporters who come here are professional reporters in this area, just like the reporters who cover sports are all reporters in the sports section. These reporters are naturally no strangers to CPUs, etc., and the previous I9 has appeared as an engineering model. There have also been certain amounts of data. Although intel did not say the specific time of listing at that time, it is undoubtedly sniping at AMD when it comes out at this time.

And these reporters have been in this circle for more than a day or two, before intel released the CPU so slowly, it was afraid that AMD would snipe into bankruptcy, then intel would be a tragedy. What's more, AMD is not competitive, intel naturally does not need to launch all its strength, and old products can make money, which is the best choice. How expensive a new product is! Do you think 22nm technology is so popular? Doesn't it cost money to renovate the production line and so on?

And now with the Star Pendant Group as the backing, it is too difficult for AMD to go bankrupt, and Intel naturally has no scruples, anyway, even if he has all the market share at once, it is estimated that the US antitrust investigation will not be able to split Intel, Intel is naturally fearless.

Of course, what these reporters don't know is that this is only one of the reasons, and the second reason is that intel was forced to strike first, because in the process of negotiating with the Starfall Group, the Starfall Group demonstrated their CPU performance to them. Intel naturally knows how powerful the technology of the Dao Xingshen Group is, so they will come up with these two new products, and they will come up with them before AMD's press conference.

Although intel doesn't know what AMD's press conference is going to release now, anyway, just like Konishi predicted, at least two levels of CPU in intel's hands are regarded as technical reserves, and the CPU performance that can be achieved by the laboratory has already far exceeded the market.

Looking at Paul's words on TV, Yang Yiwei smiled slightly, maybe intel didn't know what was going on with the so-called new architecture of the Daodao Xingshen Group, but they immediately proposed their own new architecture CPU, whether it was a patent or something, Yang Yiwei actually didn't care, because it was very simple, the increase in CPU performance in his hand did not depend on the architecture or increasing the number of transistors.

And rely on the new material! The existing CPU materials are mainly silicon, as well as some chemicals, but since the earliest invention of the transistor, the number of transistors in the first chip reached 4004, which was in 1970, and by 2005, this number has exceeded 1 billion, but is it really unlimited? No way! 100 nanometers, 80 nanometers, when breaking through to the nanometer level, the smaller the number, the higher the difficulty of the technique.

Reducing from 42 nanometers to 32 nanometers, ten times less difficult than reducing 32 nanometers to 22 nanometers, or even higher, there is always a limit to technology. Although there are units smaller than nanometers, such as picometers, femtometers, etc., but those units are even smaller than the diameter of atoms, transistors smaller than atoms? It's not impossible, but what about smaller?

There is a limit to this, and the way to break through this limit is actually very simple, just like the transistor replaced the electron tube in the first place, and a new semiconductor material can be invented. I don't know if there is Yang Yiwei in Xiaoxi, but Yang Yiwei is not similar to the epoch-making thing like a transistor replacing an electron tube. It's just a new transistor made of a new semiconductor material.

The new transistor is about 100 percent more powerful than the original. In other words, with the same number of transistors per unit volume, the performance is 100 percent higher. In other words, the same CPU with the same quad-core architecture uses this new transistor. That's twice as high as the original.

It is equivalent to that you originally had an I7 CPU, but with this new transistor, it becomes two I7 CPUs, and this performance improvement is undoubtedly huge! And the architecture of this new material is not quite the same as the previous one, using an architecture similar to a honeycomb, unlike the previous one, which is laid layer by layer, and after adopting this new architecture, its performance will be improved again by about 80% of the previous one.

It's not just 18 percent. This means that your original performance is 2, and if you use the new material, it will become 4. With the new structure, instead of 1.8 times on the basis of 2, it is 80% higher than on the basis of 4, which is equivalent to more than 3 times that of the first place.

If this is taken out, it will not be against the genius that there is a ghost, and the basis of use does not need to directly use the 22nm technique at one time. At the beginning, even a technology of about 100 nanometers can be equivalent to the same volume of CPU as the current 22 nanometer technology. So Yang Yiwei is not afraid of Intel at all, and this new material has another benefit. That's the temperature! The special material makes it impossible to use a fan even under full performance calculations, and the temperature is about 30°.

“…… Of course, I think people are more concerned about the price. In order to give back to the majority of users. Intel's new CPU will be available for $299 in the US! Paul directly announced its latest price. As soon as this price came out, all reporters were once again exclaimed, the price of a super CPU with 6 cores and 12 threads was only $299? This price is exactly the same as the price of the previous I73770K release, which means that the new CPU is on the market, and the previous I7 and other CPUs will be greatly reduced!

"The second CPU is a new series of CPUs developed by the R&D department of Intel, and the CPU performance of this series is not more powerful than the previously announced I9. It improves the technical process while optimizing the processing power of graphics images, which means that it integrates a graphics card like other CPUs, it does not have an integrated display chip. It only strengthens the enhancement of the graphics card display chip, because we found that many players who can afford to buy high-end CPUs do not lack graphics cards, and they have to install discrete graphics cards, so this CPU application was born. Paul quickly introduced the second CPU.

"It can improve the performance of the graphics card in your case by about 50 percent, in other words, your graphics card may not be enough to play a game, or it may be difficult to play a game, but with this CPU, your graphics card can easily meet the performance required for this game. And its price is not expensive, it is the same price as the I5 CPU of our company's series, it will cost $119! Paul quickly said a price that made the scene boil again.

The price of I5 is definitely not so low, but now Paul said that the price is the same as that of I5, so sure enough, the price of the previous I5 and I7 will all be reduced, and the price reduction will be calculated according to the current calculation, at least more than 30 percent! That's all there was to Intel's press conference.

The reporters at the scene were very lively, all kinds of questions were bombarding Paul, and Yang Yiwei had turned off the TV directly, "Why did you turn it off?" Xia Xuelan glanced at Yang Yiwei a little strangely and asked. Yang Yiwei smiled at Xia Xuelan and said, "There's nothing to see, I'll finish reading the main content." ”

Hearing this, Xia Xuelan smiled, and then said to Xiaoxi next to her: "Xiaoxi is still powerful, and I directly guessed Intel's next move, and now it seems that Xiaoxi's two predictions are right." ”

Xiaoxi immediately stuck out his tongue, and quickly grimaced: "That's, don't look at who I am." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
