When it comes to chips, the first thing that comes to most people's minds is the CPU processor.

As the brother of the CPU, the graphics card GPU is often overlooked.

It is estimated that because the GPU does the work, the CPU can also do it, so except for gamers, they don't pay much attention to the performance of the GPU.

Especially when I see that the price of the graphics card is more expensive than the CPU, I don't even install the independent graphics card.

But when you have higher and higher requirements for the computing power of the image processor, the importance of the GPU is reflected.

In addition to gaming, GPUs play a pivotal role in fields such as imaging, artificial intelligence, and even aerospace.

In terms of division of labor and composition, the CPU is like the designer and overseer of a house, while the GPU is the worker who does the coolies.

Designers and laborers have one thing in common - they are both human beings, they both have hands, feet and brains, but they are different in what they are good at.

Because the GPU is mainly composed of ALU transistor units, the high degree of repetition makes it less difficult to design and manufacture than the CPU.

But the reality is that graphics cards are more expensive than CPUs.

Today, the world's major graphics card manufacturer, Ingweida, has a market capitalization of $800 billion, four times that of Intel......

It's magical.

Mainly because Weida is too lucky,

Under the two super outlets of virtual currency and artificial intelligence, Invida has been praised to the sky.

As for why don't those big manufacturers that can make CPUs make GPUs?

Just like car companies that make fuel vehicles can't suddenly build new energy vehicles, CPU manufacturers such as Intel also need time to react, but when they react, Invida has already sat on half of the country.

Intel is still like this, not to mention domestic chip manufacturing, and the current graphics card is basically an assembly foundry.

Now these two outlets are still the same, in public and private, Kangchi also wants to make some achievements in this area.

From a longer-term perspective, Kangchi will definitely enter the manufacturing field of cameras, mobile phones, computers, etc., and these are inseparable from chip manufacturing.

So his current goal is to first create a graphics card that is the easiest for him to build, and then use general experience to upgrade this prototype, the level is almost improved, and then through process analysis, get the technology of the entire industry chain.

By constantly consulting materials and papers at home and abroad, Kangchi soon found the relevant information of the 2D accelerator card.

The blueprints were not too complicated for this kind of outdated thing, and after a few hours of careful consideration, he had a half-understanding of the principle in it.

However, the driver's algorithm has given Kangchi a headache.

[To determine which of the two pixels is closer to the path, you need to test the difference between the two pixel offsets:

Dlower-Dupper=2m（Xk+1）-2Yk+2b-1

……]

Looking at the papers like books in the sky, Kangchi felt like a primary school student,

Even if he finds a working algorithm, he probably doesn't know it......

"Forget it, when the graphics card is built, just find someone to write a driver."

Professional things have to be handed over to professional people.

Next, it's time to think about how to actually build a graphics card.

Kangchi checked the information again, and after understanding the chip manufacturing process, his head was bigger.

It's too hard......

From the manufacture of monocrystalline silicon wafers, to lithography, corrosion, and packaging, there is no simple link in between!

Where can I find the equipment that can make chips?

Kang Chi pondered and meditated, and suddenly remembered that when he was in college in his last life, there was a school-enterprise cooperation project, and those cooperative enterprises could borrow the school laboratory.

So with the attitude of giving it a try, Kangchi sent an email to the Institute of Microelectronics of Suzhou University, which is close to Dongyang and is very professional in semiconductors, to see if he can get a little help.

-----------------

On the morning of the next day, after simple preparations by Kangchi and Fang Qiming, Daqin Optics' lens production line began trial operation.

After Kangchi's training, Fang Qiming quickly learned to control these three large machines.

The division of labor and cooperation between the two of them, Fang Qiming made parts and testing, and Kangchi was responsible for assembly, and the efficiency was very good.

But the problem soon arose,

The capacity of these three machines is 40 shots per hour,

However, the speed of Kangchi assembly can only barely reach 10, which is completely unable to keep up with the speed of the machine.

And Fang Qiming, who is only responsible for passing materials, has a lot of time to spare, and seeing that Kangchi is busy, he can't help but propose:

"Brother Kang, why don't you teach me how to assemble? Two people assemble it together, and after getting acquainted with it, they will be able to keep up with the speed of the machine. ”

Kangchi stopped what he was doing and pondered for a moment.

He first silently calculated an account in his heart,

Based on 8 hours of work per day, this production line can produce 320 lenses, which is 7040 for 22 days per month.

If these shots can be sold, there will be about 600,000 turnover.

In terms of cost, miscellaneous items such as raw materials, rent, water and electricity, and courier fees account for about 50%.

The free store policy may have little impact in the early stage, but in the middle and later stages, it may be a big burden.

After the recycled lens is transferred to the general experience, some materials can be put into the machine for reuse, which can save a certain cost, but there are also materials that cannot be recycled.

Therefore, it is estimated that 10% of the money will be allocated to subsidize the free replacement activity.

So the remaining 40% of the profit, about 240,000, is the funds he can use, such as recruiting people.

If you calculate it this way, it is quite generous.

Of course, the premise is that the goods made can be sold.

It's just that Kangchi is very confident in this!

Will such a high-quality and inexpensive product not sell?

After settling the accounts, Kang Chi said to Fang Qiming: "We can recruit people to do this kind of highly repetitive work, and you only need to be responsible for managing the factory and store in the future." ”

It's finally time to recruit troops!

Fang Qiming was immediately excited after hearing this,

This also means that he is going to be promoted!

Here, Kangchi said that he would do it, and directly opened his mobile phone to contact HR on the recruitment website, and put forward his own needs.

"A worker who is responsible for transporting materials, our materials will not be very heavy, and the monthly salary is 6K;"

"Four technicians who assemble products, the requirements are not too high, they can repair digital products such as mobile phones, and the monthly salary can be given to 8K,"

"Finally, I want a person who is responsible for product quality inspection and delivery, with a monthly salary of 8K, we are 9 to 5, with two weekends and social security, no room and board."

The HR here was shocked after hearing about the demand and treatment.

"With such a high salary, do you still have weekends and social security?"

"Well, is there a problem?"

"No, it's just a little surprised, you should know that most factories in Dongyang don't buy social security for employees, let alone think about weekends......"

"Well, don't worry about this, we will do what we say and sign the contract! Oh yes, we're a tech company, and we have to sign an additional non-disclosure agreement. ”

"Understood!"

Due to the good salary and benefits, the HR of the website quickly found a large number of suitable candidates and arranged an interview for Kangchi the next day.

After a round of interviews, Kangchi directly finalized the candidates, and then trained to take up the post.

In less than a week, the entire product line can be produced at full capacity without Kangchi.

At the same time, Daqin Optics' treasure digging store, the product details page of the second-generation lens has also quietly changed.

The first is the cancellation of the purchase limit, and the second is the update of the new product introduction, which reads with a banner poster:

[The second-generation product is completely renewed, the texture is improved, and the price remains the same!] ]
