Chapter 201: The Divine Worker Generation
The core of the middle layer may also encounter the problem of heat accumulation, but now there are only nine cores, and the heat dissipation must be fine, and if it is increased to 18 cores in the future, it is the time to worry about this problem.
Intel's 13th generation CPU even uses 24 cores and 32 threads, which is already at the "monster" level, except for some users who just need it, ordinary people... Not to mention the 13th generation CPU, the 10th generation CPU is very sufficient.
But electronic products must be bought new not old, if there is a need to replace the machine, you can change to a new CPU, if not, then you can directly use it until scrapped, but the difficulty is a bit high.
Chen Zifan still remembers that he once had a computer at home, and he didn't use Core, because Cores belong to "high-end goods".
The division from low to high is:
Celeron β Pentium β Core.
Don't say anything i3γi5Bad,Actually, it's really not bad.,It's the desktop computer equipped with the Pentium series CPU.,It took ten years to still handle some daily work.,But don't think about playing games or something.γ
When I first bought it, I played the game card.
I couldn't even load the hottest Crossfire line of the year, and I finally got in and couldn't play.
As the first notebook dedicated CPU of Stardust Technology, it is naturally impossible to come up and take a "parallel import", although it has not been tested, but when converted to a mobile phone CPU... I don't know how many times it is 3 times the long river.
More than 10 times is a conservative estimate.
Not a level player at all.
After briefly comparing the technology of [Stardust Technology], and after confirming that there was no problem, Chen Zifan said:
"Follow the existing template first, and adjust it as soon as there is any problem in the packaging test!"
It's really listening to what you say, if you listen to what you say, Chen Zifan really can't find anything wrong, but the few engineers who came over this time are more excited than one another, and they immediately went to work after getting affirmation.
Seeing this, the person in charge came over and said:
"Chen Dong, at present, the production pressure of Changhe 4 series chips is not large, and there is no problem to ensure the supply of Stardust 4 series products, plus the production of special CPUs for notebooks, we still have energy!"
Chen Zifan: ???
"Is the production line enough?"
"It's more than enough! Haihua Circuit has taken over 90% of our production capacity, at present, Changhe 3, Changhe 3+ and other chips have been the same as the Tiangong generation, all produced by Haihua Circuit foundry, we have a lot of vacancy, is it possible to invest in new technologies?
For example, discrete GPUs...
It doesn't have to be used on a laptop next year, we can develop it first, and when we need it in the future, maybe we can catch our competitors off guard? We've wanted to do this for a long time!"
Chen Zifan did not answer, but asked:
"What did Mr. Zhao tell you?"
The person in charge directly admitted:
"Hey..."
Chen Zifan is not a pedantic person, but the words of the general director of Changhe chip engineering suddenly reminded him that Stardust Technology has a lot of technical reserves, but they are all piled up elsewhere.
Especially traditional electronic accessories such as screens, batteries, and speakers, the technical level can even be comparable to 2018 in the original history, but in terms of chips, they do not have much technical reserves, although the technology in [Stardust Technology] is already very advanced.
But very little has been put into practice.
It stands to reason that when the peripheral configuration and operating system have exceeded the standard, we should not continue to vigorously develop chips, right? Why is it so slow?
Theoretically, this is the case, but at the beginning, Chen Zifan's purpose was to popularize smartphones, in order not to cause a disconnect between the top and bottom, so he did not invest heavily in chips, but now it has passed the initial popularization stage.
Officials have been vigorously promoting mobile payment, Haicheng, Shacheng, Shancheng and other cities have entered the pilot stage in advance, and two brands of low-priced smartphones have also been supported
In the future, Haihua chips have gradually replaced MediaTek's chips.
So what else do you need to worry about?
Don't you directly put the technical reserves up?
After thinking about this, Chen Zifan replied: "I will arrange it in the next month, there is no need to worry about the GPU for the time being, and after the preliminary work is ready, it will be prepared immediately."
The so-called independent GPU refers to the independent graphics card, but the GPU is divided into many kinds, and in addition to the GPU, there are some other chips, such as ISP, NPU, in his memory, oppo and vivo have engaged in similar self-developed chips, all of which belong to the "image chip".
After it is delegated to sub-brands, it is often advertised as "independent display chips" in publicity, such as iQOO and Real
Some also use RGB fans, but this has caused another problem, the thickness, size, and weight of gaming phones are a bit unsuitable for daily use.
Compared with some conventional mobile phones, even if their stacking materials are sufficient, they are not as fierce as chip upgrades, so why don't consumers choose conventional mobile phones that are more suitable for daily use and can take into account gaming at the same time?
So it's normal for gaming phones to be cool.
But! If you have a graphics card dedicated to mobile phones, and it is replaced every three years like a game book, the chip is no longer a bottleneck that affects the game... Does that mean that Stardust Technology can make a professional gaming phone? And successfully open a new category?
A real gaming phone, it should be-
"Dong Chen? Chen Dong? This is all the information of the Changhe chip project now, you can notify me at any time if you arrange it, to be honest, we also want to use our own graphics card produced by Stardust Technology..."
"I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Chen Zifan nodded, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately returned to the Stardust Technology headquarters to start planning the next development matters.
If you want to enter the graphics card market, it is naturally impossible to use only the PC products of Stardust Technology, and it must be available to everyone.
There is also a future mine tide that is also annoying.
As for whether you can get on indos, this is not a question of whether you can do it, but whether you want to, in Chen Zifan's eyes, indos has long been full of holes, as long as he wants to, the graphics card of Stardust Technology can be forcibly connected to the chassis, are you afraid that it can't be used?
But that's not his ultimate goal.
His ultimate goal is to pave the way for his PC products with the help of Stardust laptops, CPUs, and discrete GPUs, even if PC products account for a very low proportion of his future plans, he will go all out to do it.
As far as he knows, Nvidia's flagship graphics card launched in March next year is GTX480, and it launched GTX580 half a year later.
Instead, he was forced by AMD to have no choice.
AMD's HD5000 series is almost the same as GTX480 is a five-five situation, Nvidia wants to win is also a slight advantage, and GTX480's power consumption is too high, the heat is serious, the overall reputation is too poor, they can't help it, and they will release a new flagship in half a year.
However, what really made Nvidia get rid of AMD was not the GTX580 that reduced power consumption compared to GTX480, but in 2012, GTX680, using 28nm process technology and Kepler architecture, the core frequency exceeded 1GHz for the first time, and the power consumption was also reduced.
The follow-up GTX690 is also called a "nuclear bomb", so you can imagine how fierce Nvidia was that year.
Chen Zifan wants to enter the graphics card market, then it is impossible to follow the rhythm of competitors, Nvidia and AMD are still preparing for next year's war, it is better to take advantage of their inattention and forcibly overtake in corners.
With the existing conditions of the Changhe chip project, the 28nm process production line and the [synthesis and creation] of [Stardust Technology] can completely produce graphics cards that are not inferior to GTX680, and may even surpass GTX690 and reach a new level.
Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of architecture, the graphics card architecture after [synthesis and creation] can definitely rub the Kepler architecture on the ground, and it is no problem to beat the Maxwell architecture, which directly doubles the energy consumption.
And with the Stardust notebook...
What else is there to worry about?
The route to enter the PC market is clear all of a sudden: Stardust notebook (thin and light notebook) β desktop graphics cardβ mobile graphics cardβ Stardust notebook (thin and light notebook + low-performance graphics card) β Stardust all-round notebook (gaming, workbook + high-performance graphics card).
The so-called low-performance graphics card is not really low-performance, but relatively low-performance, and Chen Zifan will divide it into several versions, which are somewhat similar to NVIDIA's RTX3050, 3060, 3070, etc.
Low performance is equivalent to 3050, and the high-performance start will definitely be at 3060 and above, of course, this is just an example, the level at this stage is definitely not possible to touch the porcelain 30 series graphics card, and the porcelain 7 series is about the same.
Further up, there must still be a gap.
Chen Zifan is self-aware of this, but the graphics card is just one of the accessories, and the products of Stardust Technology are better than the balance, and it is difficult to find the point that can be sprayed from price to configuration and use experience.
The product concept has always been his "how much money you can buy for as much as you spend", expensive on the bright side, good on the bright side, knowing that it is so expensive, really so that consumers can close their eyes and enter casually.
In addition to the graphics card, Stardust Technology's attainments in flash memory are also very profound, which few people can notice, and the vast majority of consumers will focus on the places they can see, such as workmanship, screen, battery life, smooth Stardust OS, etc.~
But why is Stardust OS smooth?
The underlying logic of the system itself has reached the ultimate level under the existing conditions, followed by the flash memory of Stardust Technology, which is smooth and unlikely, and whatever you open is almost a state of opening in seconds.
And other brands of models may not be able to do this, the simplest, open a camera, without Stardust Technology flash memory, occasionally stuck during the opening process, but use it without this trouble at all.
This will create a gap in the user experience.
And that's just on your phone.
If it is placed on the computer, Stardust Technology will have a greater advantage in flash memory, not to mention anything else, at least the smoothness of the PC version of Stardust OS is absolutely fine, and the security is even more problematic, and there is no need to be like indos in this year, and you have to have antivirus software when you boot up.
Dare not install anti-virus software?
Aren't you afraid of viruses riding your face?
Chen Zifan, who was full of firepower, worked in a straight line, and it took only two days to make a plan for the development of the next PC product and technical reserves, and then handed it over to several senior executives for detailed processing and specific arrangements for work.
The whole process took less than half a month, and the efficiency of technology companies around the world was also at the level of the first gear, and the first CPU of the Stardust notebook and the subsequent GPU finally had their own code name, and finally named "Shengong Generation".
Not only that, but even the laptop is named after "Shengong", named Stardust-Shengong, Stardust-Shengong does not refer to a certain laptop, but the title of a series, and it will be further subdivided into a certain model of the Stardust-Shengong series in the future.
Wang Jinli never thought that the plan he suggested to Chen Zifan at that time would be the first to be used on a laptop, and the laptop still has a relatively low status in Chen Zifan's development plan...
However, the tablet is not high.
When the mobile phone becomes more and more powerful, and more and more things can be done, whether it is a tablet or a laptop, it will eventually make way for the mobile phone.
In the future, if there are stronger and more convenient products, including mobile phones, they will have to make concessions.
At present, it seems that this product may be AR glasses, and it may also be more advanced~
As soon as the Shengong plan came out, the Changhe chip engineering technical reserve also began, and Chen Zifan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing to prepare was much simpler, and he continued to do the market
Research, prepare the product.
The era of mobile payment is coming, and he also wants to experience the difference between the current mobile payment and the mobile payment in his memory.
Stardust Technology Headquarters has Zhao Wuxian and many high-level executives, and the subsidiary has newly appointed middle-level cadres for overall management, not to mention employees. Look at those overtime freaks and study freaks~
