0299. Different CPU architecture
"Whew!"
Lin Chao let out a long breath.
In the end, Huaxia is a humane society, and unless there is a considerable conflict of interest, we must take care of a little affection.
This time, in the name of the Beacon Museum, he presented two imitations, and everyone was happy.
"Two high imitations are not cheap!"
Ah Jiu was a little indignant.
This miser has a mysterious attachment to every point.
Like Lin Chao's loser behavior of giving gifts, she is especially unpleasant.
"Ah Jiu, give the money!"
The cold Lin Chao stretched out his hand.
Ah Jiu flicked the bangs on his forehead a few times with his hand, and asked blankly:
"What kind of money!"
"The money you have to buy clothes! Let me see, yo, it's already cost my brother 800 points, according to nine out of thirteen, donkey rolling, at least 1200 points. Ah Jiu, don't run! ”
Seeing Ah Jiu covering his ears and running away, Lin Chao laughed.
Just tease her if it's okay, it's a really good day.
"Sleepy!"
Lin Chao stretched.
One of the biggest side effects of staying awake with drugs is religiosity.
Once the effect of the drug has passed, the drowsiness will be doubled, and it can even cause people to suddenly fall into a deep sleep.
He didn't dare to slack off, drank another bottle of potion, and reinvigorated his spirits.
"Curator, come and take a look at the lab."
At this time, Zhao Hammer, who had not appeared for a long time, sent a message.
A smile immediately appeared on Lin Chao's face.
"It's done!"
The basement converted laboratory is not as luxurious as imagined.
In addition to the clutter of devices, there are chunks of display screens, and there are a lot of instructions beating these days.
"Curator!"
Zhao Hammer's beard and raza look like a homeless man.
It seems that they are not allowed to work overtime, and these rabbits don't pay attention to it.
"How many days have you not rested? The health index is near the red line, do you really want to be recycled? ”
Lin Chao wanted to hit him a few times, but in the end he was reluctant to do it, so he could only scare with wide eyes.
Zhao Hammer took out a bottle of potion and drank it, and the index finally looked a little better.
"Let's get down to business first, the development of the virtual soldier system 1.0 has been completed."
The Virtual Soldier System, a weakened version of the Warehouse Training System, consists of a sensing platform combined with VR glasses.
Although it looks simple on the outside, the technology used is very high-end.
Not only can it simulate various environments, but it can also reflect the load, gun recoil and so on.
"At the moment, only the subjects of urban special operations have been developed, and the rest will be gradually improved in a year. The Air Force and vehicle systems also have a rough plan, which can be manufactured by the end of the year. ”
Lin Chao waved his hand.
"Don't take that big steps, perfect it first. Zhao Hammer, is there room for improvement in the system? Or make something simpler and cheaper? ”
Zhao Hammer immediately said:
"There are four kinds of plans, full simulation level, for strategic level special forces, the cost is about 4 million yuan, which can perfectly simulate various environments, diving and airborne.
The second is the one in front of us, which belongs to the semi-analog level, for tactical level special forces or special police, the price is about 2 million, and it can train urban operations, field operations, and so on.
The third type is aimed at ordinary soldiers, with a price of about 100,000 yuan, which meets the needs of weight-bearing marching and ordinary operations, and has a significant effect on reducing training costs.
The fourth, the home entertainment type, is between 2,000 and 100,000, and the corresponding games have been developed by the technical department and should be available next year. ”
Lin Chao pondered for a while.
"The third type does not need to be developed, the second type is perfected first, and the fourth type is perfected. If it is put into production, how much can it be produced by the middle of next year? ”
Zhao Hammer took out a piece of paper.
"This is subject to the chip of the processor, and the home entertainment type can be produced with Bluestar's technology, and the architecture is different from the current Intel and AMD products, which can completely avoid patent ......."
Before he could finish speaking, his collar was grabbed.
Before he could understand what was going on, he heard Lin Chao shouting:
"Pig brain, there is such a good thing, only tell Lao Tzu now, do you know what this delay is? Money, untold money. ”
If you ask what is the most profitable business of Blue Star, most people must think of arms.
It is true that the amount of arms transactions is not low, but after deducting research and development expenses, the production costs of weapons, the investment of processing plants, and the training of technical personnel, the profits will be seriously diluted.
In fact, the production of CPUs, i.e. central processing units, is much more profitable than the arms trade.
CPUs are mainly made up of silica, a substance that is so widespread in the gravel that some people lament that "they make money from sand." ”
This is, of course, a joke, sand and wafers are different things, and the cost is even more incomparable.
With the progress of the times, the use of computers is becoming more and more extensive, and the demand for CPUs is also increasing.
In the first quarter of 2015 alone, Intel's revenue was $14.8 billion, and its profit reached $3 billion.
And the profit of the arms giant Lockheed Martin is less than 900 million yuan.
Since the 90s, the number of computers in Huaxia has increased exponentially.
However, the import of CPUs has been repeatedly stuck, and the reason is also very strange, to prevent it from being used for military purposes.
On April 9 this year, Citi's Ministry of Commerce also banned Inter from exporting Xeon CPUs to Huaxia.
In order to get rid of the weak position, Huaxia's own development and manufacturing of CPUs has also been repeatedly put on the table.
It's just that after more than ten years of development, the achievements are really not enough to communicate with outsiders, and there are even fake scandals.
Zhao Hammer laughed a few times.
"Curator, you only need a 14nm production line to make this CPU."
Lin Chao was stunned.
The core equipment for the production of CPUs is the lithography machine, and the most popular process is the 193nm immersion lithography technology, which can be applied to the 10nm process.
The next generation of EUV is already emerging, and it can achieve a 7nm process.
Although at the moment, its technology is not mature and cannot meet the standards of mass production, it is believed that it will be properly solved in the near future.
"Rabbit cub, the price of a lithography machine is more than 100 million euros!"
At present, lithography machines are mainly produced by the Dutch company ASML.
However, it cannot be exported to Huaxia, even if Lin Chao spends more money.
"How many nanometers of CPU can Zhao Shen's lithography machine produce?"
As the process evolves, transistors become smaller and smaller.
If a finer process is adopted, the distance between the transistors can be further reduced.
In the same area, more collective tubes can be integrated to improve the performance of the chip.
Zhao Hammer groaned slightly and said:
"1 nanometer is no problem, extracting monocrystalline silicon, cutting wafers, these can be outsourced, key processes such as ion implantation, etc., can be solved in the laboratory. Don't count on the output, up to 2 a day. ”
Lin Chao knew that Zhao Hammer was not exaggerating.
Intel's production plants all have a dust-free workshop, which is even the size of several football fields.
Such a scale of production may not be able to meet the market supply.
Zhao Shen's big laboratory can be used by a bird.
"Write me a report, we can get money for such a big thing. Idiot, not now! If you dare to come to the lab in 5 days, I will break your legs directly. ”
