Chapter 472 [Kunpeng 0611 Press Conference]

According to the layout of the "Kunpeng Plan", the underwater data center will not start construction until 2015, with an investment budget of 4.1 billion yuan, which is the last of the four underwater data center construction plans in the first phase.

One is the problem of demand, the country's western region is open, but the population and demand are actually very limited, on the one hand, the postponement of construction is to wait for the economy of the western region to be further developed, and the demand is further improved before providing the corresponding cloud service support.

On the other hand, the coastal areas are now developing extremely rapidly, and the demand is also rising rapidly, so it is natural to give priority to construction.

The change of the order is also an optimization means to save investment costs, after all, this is a very large investment, built in advance when furnishings?

From the perspective of investment and construction costs, it is more expensive to build a large submarine data center than on land, and the life expectancy is only about 5 years.

But this is only one aspect, first of all, the current budget cost is high, to a large extent, the ploughshare for the server this part accounts for a large proportion, the technology is not the most advanced, and the cost is expensive.

However, this also shows that the high cost now does not mean that it will be in the future, the future submarine data center has a great cost saving space, especially the saving of energy consumption costs, the high electricity consumption of the data center is scary, and the "Kunpeng Plan" to build the biggest vision of the submarine data center is to use natural renewable energy to form a cycle, and a data center can save more than one billion yuan in electricity costs alone in five years.

It also saves land costs, and at the same time, it can also provide customers with better cloud computing solutions, so as to obtain higher international competitiveness.

Whether this transaction is a profit or a loss, the large group has naturally been strictly demonstrated, and no one will do a loss-making transaction.

Luo Sheng has never been a person who does short-term layout.

……

In the last three days, there were no moths on the Qinghai Lake expedition team, everything went very smoothly, and the people from the Geological Bureau visited again, hoping to share a piece of data, but they were decisively rejected by the leader of the expedition team.

He really does not have the right to decide, this is a precious data obtained by the company's budget of nearly 30 million, and he has the right to refuse.

Although the other party expressed regret, but did not make a stumbling block, because can not afford this consequence, the local is very important, Bluestar Technology to invest in high-tech industries on a large scale here, which is warmly welcomed.

scare away such a large technology group, and your lungs will blow up.

……

Time flies, the world officially entered 2012, this year seems more special than previous years, all kinds of apocalyptic theories are rampant, I have to say that in 2009, the Hollywood disaster film "2012" contributed a lot.

However, after the New Year's Day, Bluestar Technology + Cote d'Azur held an annual grand annual meeting carnival, and other companies have also successively held their own annual meeting activities.

However, it has not attracted much attention from the joint annual meeting of Bluestar Technology + Cote d'Azur, and has been praised by domestic netizens as the most international annual meeting.

Today, this powerful corporate culture is no longer limited to the company, it has long been radiated outside the company, and melon-eating netizens across the country and even the world will be strong onlookers, which is the focus of heated discussions for a period of time.

……

On January 10, 2012, the attention of the semiconductor industry focused on the new product launch event held by Lens Semiconductor today.

The tech community and the media are in the spotlight.

At the press conference, Luo Sheng was in the column, sitting in the chief position, and his appearance was naturally the focus of attention of the audience, which was his second appearance in the public eye during the new year's annual meeting.

However, today's protagonist is not Luo Sheng, he also came here as a guest.

Sitting next to him were Huawei executives and a global vice president of Arm, and there were about 1,800 people at the press conference.

The Silicon Valley technology community also attaches great importance to the press conference of Lens Semiconductor.

"First of all, I would like to announce the first good news, Lens Semiconductor has signed a perpetual licensing partnership with Arm for the ARM-v8 architecture, which is the first milestone." Xu Zhijun, who presided over the press conference on the stage, said in high spirits.

The cooperation agreement with Arm was very smooth and efficient, and two months ago, in November 2011, Arm released some technical details of the latest generation of processor architecture, ARM-v8, which is Arm's first processor architecture to support 64-bit instruction sets.

It is inseparable from the FinFET process technology mastered by Lens Semiconductor that the order can be signed so quickly, and it is precisely because of the mastery of this key core technology that it has today's bargaining power and negotiation power.

"Our multi-year, multi-node collaboration with ARM will continue to deliver advanced and high-quality technologies to enable market-leading SoC applications in mobile, server and enterprise infrastructure applications, fostering innovation in the semiconductor design industry."

Luo Sheng was a quiet audience with great interest, looking at Xu Zhijun with a sincere face on the stage, and his heart was also happy.

Some people, on the surface, have a misunderstanding of working with Arm, but behind the scenes, they are already working on their own instruction set.

Immediately afterward, Lao Xu got straight to the point: "Today we will release the second-generation server chip 'Kunpeng 0611', the implementation of this Arm-based processor paves the way for us to take full advantage of the optimized performance and power efficiency of 45nm FinFET process technology, and the joint efforts of ARM and Xiongxin OPI design ecosystem partners are a testament to our strong commitment to providing industry-leading technology to our customers' designs." ”

With Xu Zhijun's in-depth introduction of "Kunpeng 0611", industry insiders were very surprised, although it is not the first-class level in the industry, but it has been compared with the advanced technology gap of IBM and other old server manufacturers, and it has been shortened to two generations or even a generation and a half in such a short period of time.

In 2004, it was planned to enter this field, and 2006 was a turning point.

At that time, only Luo Sheng would buy this kind of rotten and expensive product.

But until now, Huawei's server department has only been gone for seven years.

And what about IBM, which is known as the "blue giant"? Founded in 1911, it is the world's largest information technology and business solutions company, with 310,000 employees worldwide and operations in more than 160 countries and territories.

The growth rate of this "student" surprised IBM, and if it continued like this, it might have to teach the apprentices and starve the master to death.

At the end of the press conference, Xu Zhijun announced the last big news: "I am very happy and honored to announce that the server based on the Kunpeng 0611 processor has ushered in the first and most important customer partner, Bluestar Technology Group. ”

The audience at the scene looked sideways, and a large number of media shots also focused on Luo Sheng who attended the meeting at this time.

Xu Zhijun, who presided over the press conference on the stage, said with a bright smile: "Without the full support of Bluestar Technology, our server business would not be where it is today, and we will continue to support it as always, and we cherish such partners very much." The second-generation server chip is named 'Kunpeng', and many people must have thought of Bluestar Technology's 'Kunpeng Project' submarine data center project. ”

"That's right, our second-generation servers will be used in subsea data centers to provide our technology solutions for Bluestar Technology Group's cloud computing service strategy."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the industry present were moved.

What the?

Is it to provide technical solutions for Bluestar Technology's "Kunpeng Plan"?

International businessmen were shocked when they heard the news clearly from Xu Zhijun's mouth, and they soon couldn't calm down.

Bluestar Technology's submarine data center has put commercial plans on the agenda?

Shet!

Luo Sheng was interviewed by the media last year and swore that he had no idea of commercial use, this liar was really a smoke bomb to the outside world!

In fact, few peers will trust Luo Sheng's remarks in the interview too much, at most half of them, and at the same time, they also think that it is impossible for Bluestar Technology to enter the commercial stage so quickly.

However, the goose tells everyone that the R&D output efficiency of Bluestar Technology is so terrifying.
