Chapter 556: A Different Ending

Almost at the same time as the shadow was finalized, the Sino-European trade war finally ended, and after the draft of the third-generation nuclear power plant standard was basically completed, the two sides lifted the original strong trade sanctions, but after a long trade war, many things are impossible to return to the past.

Nearly one-third of China's domestic textile companies have closed down and gone bankrupt, fortunately, most of these bankrupt companies have risen against the trend in the war, and domestic demand-based brand textile manufacturers have been merged with the support of the government, and a large number of low-end textile production capacity has been merged and digested, and has begun to move towards mid-end branding.

The automotive industry is one and the other, Oriental Qiyang has achieved extraordinary development in more than half a year, and its Opel China's Weida series sales exceeded 100,000 units, and Ou Ou Jia high-end cars have sold more than 30,000 units This amazing level, of course, after this amazing record, Oriental Qiyang's strong military background makes Opel series models become the first choice brand of civilian vehicles in the military, and the old Li family is working hard to make Opel enter the list of government procurement, becoming a new choice for official cars, There is still a lot of room for expansion of the Opel series in the official car market.

At this point, it can be said that Opel China has completely rewritten the pattern of China's high-end automobile market, and the Opel brand has been successfully built into a new luxury brand, which has begun to stand side by side with BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, so that the high-end cars in China's auto market have appeared in a new situation of the top four.

As for the toy industry, it has achieved Phoenix Nirvana on SAL's new Ark intelligent platform, and successfully transformed to the high-end intelligent toy industry, and now the newly customized Ark II platform, although the performance and function are weaker than Ark 1, but the whole platform is smaller in size, lower power consumption, and the cost is reduced to 20 US dollars, this price also includes SAL's profits, so that the intelligent toy industry chain led by SAL has completely entered a virtuous cycle stage. Relying on this platform to develop a variety of new toys are priced at more than 100 US dollars, through the ark platform to strictly control the production of major toy manufacturers, to ensure that there will be no serious oversupply resulting in vicious competition, so that domestic toy manufacturers began to enter a happy period of high profits.

The mechanical and electrical industry also took the opportunity to cooperate with Xincheng Special Steel and Shenda Machine Tool Group, and successfully occupied the market gap left by the European Union Germany, France and other manufacturers, these market gaps are high-end products with higher profits, and the domestic mechanical and electrical industry can develop and manufacture corresponding products to meet, indicating that the manufacturing level of the entire industry has made great progress.

It can be said that in this Sino-EU trade war, although China's losses are not light, it is much better than that of the EU, and related industries have even achieved a new nirvana in pain, taking the most important step in industrial upgrading.

The European Union is much more miserable, frustrated by the loss of the Chinese market, the luxury industry, the automotive industry major manufacturers have lowered their profit expectations, and the mechanical and electrical industry some manufacturers that are deeply dependent on the Chinese market even issued a loss warning, under the heavy operating pressure, even with the heavy pressure of the trade union, many manufacturers affected by the Sino-European trade war have opened layoff or salary reduction plans, so to tide over the difficulties.

Because the end of the Sino-European trade war did not usher in the expected sales blowout, the traditional market of their own company seems to have disappeared, and to reopen the Chinese market is equivalent to returning to the pioneering period many years ago. It was only by this time that the Europeans suddenly understood that China had changed a lot before they knew it.

Even some products that were originally on the embargoed list, such as precision machining machine tools, are now being sold in private, and the Chinese who would have cried and begged to buy them are not interested at all, and they will say to Europeans, hey, this kind of thing of yours is outdated in our place, and the machine tool with stronger functions and performance than your machine tool, Shenda machine tool is more than one-fifth cheaper, how much and how much.

The first general-purpose result developed by Williams based on UltraSparc-T2 came out, which is not a new version of the CPU in Williams' grand plan blueprint, but an intermediate result of Duke's design based on Duke's urgent need to transform the Destroyer drone, Williams has prioritized the improvement of UltraSparc-T2 for multi-channel SMP support, so that the new UltraSparc-T2 can support 32-channel servers.

This new architecture was originally thought about by Williams for many years, and now the technology in this area is very mature, Williams borrowed some existing mature technologies on the basis of his own thinking, so he was able to complete the design quickly.

Duke named the refurbished UltraSparc-T2 G1, the new CPU is produced using TSMC's 20nm process technology, under this advanced manufacturing process, the G1's low power consumption and small form factor are better than the original UltraSparc-T2, with a core size of only 300 square millimeters, while the frequency can reach 1.5GHz, and the power consumption is only 65W, which is much better than the original UltraSparc-T2.

After the successful mass production of G1, using Kerry's strong technical accumulation in minicomputer and mainframe architecture design, he quickly designed a 32-channel minicomputer based on G1, with a G1 processor card in each node in a 4U chassis, and 8 processors and 16 DDR3 memory DIMM slots on each card.

After running Kerry's re-customized and optimized Nuwa system, the new minicomputer has basically the same performance as the commercial 8-socket minicomputer with the latest model of CPU, and can completely replace the expensive minicomputer system in the original design, and the cost and power consumption are much lower than the original system.

If used on the ground, Duke could at most turn the minicomputer into a large server cluster of 64 G1 server nodes with a total of 2,048 G1 cores, which in Kerry's simulation performance is close to that of some lower-end supercomputer systems.

This somewhat surprising result made Duke look at Williams again, and with this thing, SAL can now use G1 minicomputers to form server clusters of various sizes to cope with internal high-performance computing.

Not only that, Duke also found that this seemingly outdated CPU, because of its low power consumption and small area, is also very suitable for use in many embedded systems, especially for advanced CNC machine tools, drones, tanks, etc., compared with the original application of gemini series chips, the performance has made great progress.

Williams transformed this decade-old CPU, regained a new life in the case of Duke's special processing, its broad market space, so that Cai Siqiang, a business-sensitive genius, is greatly impressed, and now SAL consumes hundreds of millions of mobile chips every year, and now begins to develop general-purpose CPUs, although it is now mainly used in high-performance servers, with limited uses, but many places under SAL will also use this high-performance CPU in the future, such as advanced electromechanical, smart cars, and future communication routers, a variety of intelligent weapon systems, these will open up new markets for SAL's CPUs one after another.

According to this development trend, it may not be a bad idea to acquire a CPU foundry company and build an integrated industrial chain in the chip industry.
