Chapter 356 Black Technology, Dawning X86-S Instruction Set
After all, on the surface, the processor frequency that has the greatest impact on the performance of the CPU processor is not much different from the other, and the processor frequency of both sides is in the 3Ghz range.
As for overclocking, Sugon seems to have a slight edge, automatically overclocking up to 3.8Ghz as needed.
But the problem is that the Pentium 4 also has a high-end CPU processor called Pentium 4 670, and the frequency of the processor is directly 3.8Ghz!
In this case, the Dawning Ryzen processor, which has to rely on overclocking to reach 3.8Ghz, does not seem to be superior.
Of course, the specific which one is strong and which one is weak, this must not only look at the frequency, other parameters are also quite important.
Among them, the sincerity of Ryzen processors of Sugon Technology in the first-level cache, second-level cache, and third-level cache is also quite content.
Because in the current market Intel is related to . D's CPU processors are quite stingy with L1 cache, L2 cache, and L3 cache considering the cost factor.
For example, the L1 cache of the Pentium 4 processor is usually only 32 KB, while the Dawning Ryzen processor directly gives 2×64 KB.
So the actual L1 cache is 4 times the size of the Pentium 4 processor!
Because 2×64 means that there are two L1 caches of 64KB, which takes into account that the Ryzen processor is a dual-core processor.
This also means that each processor core has a L1 cache of 64KB, which can be said to be quite sincere.
Of course, in addition to this, the second level of caching is also full of sincerity.
The current Pentium 4 processor's L2 cache is usually only 1MB or 2MB, and the Dawning Ryzen processor gives a maximum of 6MB.
It can be said that the size of the L2 cache is more than three times that of the L2 cache of the Pentium 4 processor.
As for the L3 cache after that, needless to say, the sincerity of the Dawning Ryzen processor is also quite full, generally more than three times that of other processors!
As for the first-level cache, second-level cache, and third-level cache, what is the use of the increase in the number of caches, the larger the processor cache, the more it will enhance whether it is software, playing games, or even other aspects.
Especially for video rendering or 3D mapping, the large cache can play a role in turning decay into magic.
Past. Company D faced the menacing 12th Gen Core processors and 13th Gen Core processors.
In order to maintain their market position, they directly made a version of the Ryzen 5800X3D processor with a large cache of up to 100MB, and the final result was naturally a miracle.
Compared with the ordinary Ryzen 5800X processor, the Ryzen 5800X3D processor with a 100MB ultra-large cache version directly increases the performance by 15%!
This 15% performance increase can be said to be at the level of the new generation of toothpaste, which shows how significant the large cache is for the CPU processor.
Therefore, the large cache is a considerable improvement for the processor, which also shows the sincerity of the Dawning Ryzen processor!
Of course, the people on the scene are more concerned about the size of the main frequency and the number of cores that have significantly improved the performance of the game, so they also directly skipped the cache.
And when they saw something else, they also showed stunned expressions.
For example, what synchronous multi-threading technology, what Dawning virtualization technology, what Dawning X86-S instruction set, etc., all made them confused.
It can be said that there are many professional terms in this Dawning Ryzen processor, and people are confused, and they don't know how effective it actually is in the current market just by a name.
In this regard, Lin Chen naturally would not let people continue to be stunned, only to see Lin Chen slowly speak in the midst of people's stunnedness:
"First of all, the first thing to introduce is the Sugon X86-S instruction set, which is an efficient instruction set developed by us based on the X86-64-bit instruction set.
The main changes are the removal of support for 16-bit and 32-bit modes and a significant reduction in the X86 instruction set.
It reduces the complexity and overhead of instruction execution, optimizes the hardware mechanism, and abandons many historical burdens......
This Sugon X86-S instruction set can greatly improve the performance and power consumption of the processor while maintaining X86 compatibility! ”
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the people at the scene continued to look stunned.
However, if there are knowledgeable traversers from 2023 here, they can't help but let out a terrifying sound.
Because Lin Chen's Dawn X86-S instruction set is clearly the X86-S instruction set that Intel is working on in the previous life in 2023!
In the previous life, why did Intel make an instruction set called X86-S?
In fact, the reason is that the entry of ARM processors into the computer industry has put tremendous pressure on Intel, forcing Intel to reform!
If Intel does not reform and reverse the current situation that the energy efficiency ratio of the same process technology and the same number of transistors is far less than that of the AMR platform processor, then the X86 computer platform will be eliminated by the AMR computer platform in the future!
In this case, even if there is a software and hardware ecosystem accumulated for decades as a hard backend, what can be done if the processor performance is not as good as others.
Because in the future, with more and more games and software on the AMR computer platform, the market share of the X86 computer platform will inevitably shrink, and finally what awaits the Intel X86 processor is the way to extinction!
In this case, a call to improve the bloated X86 instruction set and improve the overall performance of the X86 instruction set was born.
Of course, considering the lessons of Intel's self-confident launch of the new Itanium processor many years ago, the result was a fiasco in sales due to incompatibility with the X86 instruction set.
In 2023, after lengthy internal discussions, Intel finally launched the X86-S instruction set development plan.
The X86-S instruction set will directly abandon the historical burden of the past, reduce the complexity and overhead of instruction execution, and optimize the hardware mechanism.
It also abandons the 16-bit and 32-bit modes and directly develops a more efficient X86-S instruction set based on the 64-bit mode.
The disadvantage of this is that it is no longer possible to install a 32-bit system, but it does not affect the use at all.
Because there is no 64-bit system on the market now, the market share of 32-bit systems is not high, and abandoning the 32-bit mode will not affect anything.
There is no need to worry about 32-bit software and games, as there are many ways to achieve support for 32-bit software and games.
So the birth of the X86-S instruction set is actually Intel's Jedi counterattack, an existence on which they have high hopes.
In this case, Lin Chen actually copied the results of Intel in his previous life in 2023, presumably Intel in his previous life would definitely be angry if he knew this.
However, in the previous life, Intel was so angry that he jumped to his feet and didn't know, but when the current president of Intel, Paul Oudening, heard that the X86-S instruction set was a pure 64-bit X86 instruction set, he faintly felt bad in his heart.
Paul Oudening really doesn't understand technology, and he must be stunned to develop CPUs, but this doesn't mean that Paul Oudening doesn't know a little about CPU processors.
