Liu Nian is actually the same as Ni Guangnan, although he is nominally in charge of the game department, but in fact, his tentacles extend all over the entire research center, but he is not in charge of other departments, but other departments begging him to solve the problem.

Since entering the research center, with the teaching of senior bigwigs like Ni Guangnan and Dean Zhang, and the world's most advanced experimental equipment, Liu Nian's talent has been fully developed.

In history, Liu Nian, who was decadent because of his father's death, and finally died in a brawl, was penniless, and did not even have a tombstone no longer existed, and was replaced by Liu Nian, a super genius in the research institute, and a super genius who knew everything.

Not only the R&D work of the game department, but also many thorny problems in other departments, when they really can't think of a solution, they will find Liu Nian and ask him to help solve them, so Liu Nian's tentacles have reached into various departments.

Although Liu Nian is the youngest in the entire research institute, he is recognized as the most capable, and some people even feel that if it weren't for the terrifying age and qualifications of Ni Guangnan and other old people, the director of the entire research center would be the most suitable to give Liu Nian this pervert.

Of course, Liu Nian's current research focus is still on the game department, and the research and development task of Boss Jia's first game console was handed over to Liu Nian.

Because he received a call from Nintendo, Boss Jia, who felt that time was a little short, found Liu Nian again and wanted to see how the research and development progress of the new generation of game consoles was.

As a result, what made Boss Jia helpless was that when he entered the game department, he found that Liu Nian was not researching a game console, but fiddling with a four-wheel drive vehicle.

If it were an ordinary person, Boss Jia would have scolded people directly, but this was his precious son Liu Nian, Boss Jia could only sigh helplessly, and then asked with a smile, "What new functions have you developed in this Yuan Shi Tianzun?" ”

"I'm going to add four propellers to him, so that he can fly when passing through terrain such as water, so that the resistance of the water can be completely ignored, and a lot of waterproof accessories can be reduced!" Liu Nian said.

"Isn't this a drone...... Boss Jia muttered, is he going to start developing drones in advance?

"Okay, I'm here to ask, how far has our game console been developed!" Boss Jia finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"It depends on how far you want to go!" Liu Nian shook his shoulder.

"So to what extent?" Boss Jia asked.

"Let's put it this way, if you want a PS-level game console, then it's almost right now, I can give you the complete design drawings in three days, and it is estimated that it will be mass-produced in three months!" Liu Nian smashed his mouth and said, listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that the PS-level game console has been developed.

"It's really fake!" Boss Jia was overjoyed!

"Half-truths!" Liu Nian rolled his eyes and said, "It's true that I can give you design drawings, but at least 73 parts in it need to be imported from abroad because of patents and production technology, so the production cost of this game console will exceed PS by about 100 US dollars!" ”

"Uh......" Boss Jia shook his head, PS's 299 is indeed a very BUG price, if it can't be lower or the same price as PS, otherwise a host with the same performance as PS will not be able to beat PS.

"But you should already have a way to deal with it, right?" Seeing the smile on Liu Nian's face, Boss Jia suddenly reacted, Liu Nian, this guy, still has something hidden!

"There's a way, I just don't know if you support me!" Liu Nian smiled, and then said, "The reason why the cost of our game consoles cannot be reduced is because the patents related to the game theme of this generation have been applied for by Sony and Nintendo, and we are one step slower, and it is really difficult to break through the blockade of patents." ”

"But what if it's a next-generation console!" Liu Nian laughed, and then continued, "According to my plan, the next generation of game consoles, the CPU should have at least 300mb of computing power, 16KB of temporary memory RAM, 8KB data cache, 16KB instruction cache, etc., this is the configuration of the most powerful Intel CPU, which requires a 180nm process chip to be manufactured!" ”

"Then there is the GPU of the host, that is, the graphics card, which can have the first computing power than the CPU, but it also has 150m computing power. However, the video memory needs 4mb, in addition to the 64-bit pixel structure, the shading ability of 2.4G pixels per second, the polygon filling ability of 75m per second, and the anti-aliasing, fogging, multi-channel texture mapping, ......etc.

"Wait!" Boss Jia rubbed his head, and then said, "You don't need to report data to me, I haven't studied graphics cards, can you tell me in a simpler way?" ”

"Okay!" Liu Nian shook his shoulders and said, "To put it simply, it is to support 480P high-precision 3D image quality, 720P high-precision 2D image quality, and 1080P highest image quality!" At the same time, it can run smoothly in the 3D game under the screen. ”

"Yes!" Boss Jia exclaimed, if this is the performance of the next generation of game consoles, it can indeed be said to completely crush PS.

The question is, how long does it take to get such a bullish game console to come up!

According to this configuration, personal home computers will probably have to wait until around 2005

"It's not as difficult as you think!" It seems to see the worry in Boss Jia's heart, Liu Nian explained, "Now we are making every effort to tackle the research and development of 120nm lithography machine, because you are willing to spend money, so the progress is quite good, according to the teacher's words, at the latest before the millennium, I will give you the 120nm lithography machine to be wholeed, and when the time comes, the production of some 180nm chips is not the same as playing, although the gap from the international leading 70nm lithography machine is still quite large, but it is not too terrifying." ”

"And as far as I know, now the 70nm lithography machine has encountered a huge bottleneck in the world, and it seems that there is no way to break through this data, and it will take twenty or thirty years to get stuck, so that we can catch up."

"And the entire research center is becoming more and more mature in the design of chips, anyway, before the millennium, it will not be a problem to get qualified chips for you!"

"As for the GPU, that is, the problem of the graphics card, then it's easier to do, godfather, you are really a genius, acquired Nvidia, there is too strong in the technology of the graphics card, for Nvidia, the next generation of game independent graphics cards, it should be able to achieve this data, and when the time comes, you let them come out with a dedicated version of the whole console, proper."

"Get the two most important components,Then the other research and development is not a problem,It is estimated that now whether it is Sony or Nintendo,Are still immersed in the first generation of 3D consoles,Their second-generation 2D console has not yet been developed and approved,It is when we overtake in corners,As long as we hold enough second-generation host research and development patents in our hands,Then I don't think there are companies that can use patent cards to master us!" Liu Nian said quickly.

"You little guy can do it!" Boss Jia scratched Liu Nian's head, "I see a company for you, you can also run it well!" ”

"I don't believe it, I'm not as cunning as your godfather, if you run a company, sooner or later you will be deceived to death!" Liu Nian said quite self-awarely.
