Super Tycoon

Director Zhang, are you looking for me? Wang Zhengfu, the person in charge of the R\u0026D center here, walked into the office and stood opposite Zhang Yang. And Lisa Su was standing behind Wang Zhengfu, who wanted to leave and stay.

Both of you sit down, I have some questions to ask. First of all, the frequency of this APU can reach 1.8G, and it is still a dual-core architecture, but the frequency of the GPU is only 400M, is it a bit slower?

Zhang Dong, don't look at our low-end graphics card technology, but integrated on this APU, the performance is better than those 500M.

Ordinary PCs hand over some computing tasks to the GPU, but instead can share some computing power and enhance the effect of the graphics card, so as to perform better.

Can this CPU be overclocked? Since we define it as an accelerated processor, the accelerated peak frequency should exceed the theoretical CPU frequency.

Wang Zhengfu was stunned for a while: Sorry, it should be possible in theory, but the specific volume has not yet been released. This is also our follow-up adjustment direction.

Zhang Dong, a person who does not understand technology, can ask this question, which also proves how much this issue is concerned by consumers, and their research and development progress is still too slow. He, the vice president of Chaoweiyingweida Huaxia Branch, The person in charge of the R\u0026D center is a bit incompetent.

It's okay, just determine the direction. I'm just asking to know more about the performance. The performance of the second-level cache looks good, but the performance of the GPU is still weak. It can reach the performance of a mid-range independent display. Then there is a gap compared with high-end ones.”

You know a lot of people don't have high CPU requirements but high GPU requirements? Can we hook up a GPU again with this one?

Lisa Su also looked at Wang Zhengfu, and this was what she wanted to know.

Theoretically, it should be possible, just add an interface. But we didn't think about it before. I was negligent in this direction. I arranged people to do research and development.

Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction: Your support for memory is also good, I think it is already very good. If the performance test is stable and there are no problems, it can be launched to the market.

At this time, many games do not have high CPU requirements, and some computers used to surf the Internet do not have high CPU performance. This APU can reach dual-core 1.8G, so it will not be eliminated within two or three years, but other people’s CPUs can be used in the future. GPU upgrades increase speed, upgrade memory cards and so on. They can only upgrade memory cards, but not GPUs. Wouldn’t they be at a disadvantage?

But at least this architecture is completed, and some subsequent shortcomings,

Find a way to solve it. The large amount of research and development funds invested in the past few years has finally come to fruition.

How much NM technology did you use to produce this? Zhang Yang asked again.

Only 45NM technology can be used. Using 65NM technology will look too big, which is no longer suitable for small products. I know that the current 45NM technology is not mature enough, and the production cost has not yet come down, but the future will be good, right? ?”

And we are still cooperating with Formosa Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to develop 32NM technology, and I heard that Huaxin International will also transform a 45NM production line, which can reduce our production costs.

Although it is said that the smaller the size, the lower the production cost, but it is different when the technology research and development costs and production line transformation costs are included.

This year, Dongzhi will invest in a brand new 45NM production line, and the cost has been announced, as high as 6.5 billion US dollars. The production line of Formosa Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was transformed, and the required funds also reached 3 billion US dollars.

Therefore, if you don’t have money, you really can’t play in the wafer business. This is why Zhiduoxing’s investment in Huaxin International was ridiculed by many semiconductor manufacturers.

Now Huaxin International has developed, and has also participated in the technology research and development of 45NM, and cooperated with Chaowei Eagle Weida, and also cooperated with Formosa Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

And the three parties are also cooperating in the research and development of 32NM technology. Samsung is also involved this time. I heard that IBM and Intel are also cooperating in the research and development of 32NM technology. At present, those two companies also have 45NM technology.

But in fact, compared with the international semiconductor giants, Huaxin International is still in the second-rate, not only backward in technology, but also insufficient in funds.

Fortunately, Huaxin International will be listed this year, and will raise a large sum of money for the construction of a new production line. It is expected that building a brand new production line will not be a big problem.

After all, Huaxin International is on China's side, with a vast market, background, and no shortage of orders, so it is very optimistic.

Zhengfu, you don't have to think about these, just concentrate on making technological breakthroughs. Solve some of the problems we mentioned just now, and complete the APU test as soon as possible, and at the same time find a way to upgrade it.

Just leave the sales to Lisa. Lisa, can you do this job well?

Lisa Su nodded quickly: I promise, I will use the shortest time to get many PC manufacturers to accept our products, but I think this is also applicable to video game consoles, can I contact the other three manufacturers besides Zhiduoxing?

If the support of three manufacturers is missing, the number of orders will definitely be reduced a lot. But in this way, Zhiduoxing also lacks the advantages in hardware, can Zhang Dong agree?

Yes, this is no problem. But I hope that all the latest technological breakthroughs will be the first to notify me. In the next few years, the number of planned purchases of Zhiduoxing Group will definitely be the sum of them, or even more.

Lisa Su thought that Zhang Yang was confident in maintaining a 50% market share in the next generation of game consoles, but she didn't know that Zhang Yang was talking about a tablet computer that was about to be launched.

For at least two years, G3 will not make any upgrades, except for expanding the hard disk capacity, other changes will not be made. For G3MINI, chipsets using new technology can naturally be smaller because of the improvement of semiconductor technology. Previously, Zhiduoxing G3 used 90NM technology, but now it uses 45NM, maybe even 32NM, the size will inevitably be reduced, and the energy consumption will also be reduced.

And G3MINI may not use APU, so in the next two years, Zhiduoxing will use APU for only one product, and that is the tablet computer.

This is a concept that existed in the 1990s, but it has not been successfully implemented. Microsoft also did it a few years ago, and it also hit the street.

In the previous life, it was started by Apple, and other companies joined in, and finally became a contention among a hundred schools of thought. But in this life, Zhi Duoxing will be the leader.

In a place that no one else can think of, making a product that is popular in the market and monopolizing this market will inevitably earn extremely high profits, making Zhiduoxing Group a further step forward and his wealth further.

By the way, everyone has worked hard, Zhengsuke, you make a report, apply for a bonus, and send it to the R\u0026D personnel, and I will sign it. Some people who stopped their vacations before can also make up their vacations. Over at the head office , I’m going to tell everyone the good news.”
