Chapter 283 32-bit Processor! ! !

Nintendo's kneeling caused a sensation in the industry, completely established the overlordship of the Flamingo Company, and at the same time deterred other people with unruly intentions.

Sega originally planned to enter the game console market, but seeing the situation, they immediately backed off.

Just kidding, it doesn't want to be a second Nintendo.

Looking around the world, no company can challenge Flamingo Company, and it can even be said that they dare not challenge!
And the price of the challenge is a dead end!
Third-party game developers are all obedient and willing to be exploited!

The Flamingo-2 game console swept the game console market, and players had no choice but to buy it.

The global gaming community can't help but tremble!
The brilliance of the Flamingo Company is more eye-catching and shocking than the previous Nintendo. When it comes to games, people think of a word that is "Flamingo"!
At this moment, Li Zetian came to Flamingo Company to formulate the company's development strategy with Nolan Bushnell and other company executives.

On January 1985, 1, Intel released the first-generation 1-bit processor Intel32, which integrated 80386 transistors, one hundred times more than the 27 chip, and could process 5 million instructions per second.It is also the first processor with "multitasking" function. The so-called "multitasking" means that it can process instructions of multiple programs at the same time, which has an important impact on the development of Microsoft's operating system.The 4004-bit microprocessor has powerful and unparalleled computing power, and the application of personal computers has expanded to many fields, such as commercial office and computing, engineering design and computing, data centers, and personal entertainment. The 500 made 32-bit CPUs the standard in the PC industry.

With the popularity of 32-bit personal computers, PC personal entertainment will soon rise. If Flamingo can seize the opportunity, it will soon be able to dominate the PC game market.

In the 20s, Electronic Arts (EA) focused almost entirely on the distribution of PC games, from which it grew and became a large game company with a market value of more than 80 billion US dollars.

However, Li Zetian will not give up this opportunity to the other party, especially Trip Hawkins, the founder of EA and an employee who left Apple.What the hell, if he is defeated by the opponent, Li Zetian's face will be dull.

meeting room.

Li Zetian said in a deep voice: "Intel has released a 32-bit processor, and Flamingo can also start to develop the third-generation game console, and strive to stay ahead of other companies in technology, leaving others behind! If the 16-bit game console is sold to the Flamingo Company, then the Flamingo Company can come up with a 32-bit game console to crush it, just as the 16-bit second-generation Flamingo game console crushed Nintendo’s 8-bit FC games machine."

Everyone nodded frequently and agreed.

"In addition, the Flamingo Company will also start to aggressively enter the PC game market. Its importance is no less than that of TV games. I believe that PC games will shine very brightly in the future!"

Compared with TV games, Li Zetian is more fond of PC games, such as "Red Alert", "Star Wars", "Warcraft", "CS", "Cross Fire", "DNF", "DOTA", "League of Legends" Waiting for games, are very fun.

The point is, the PC game show operation is very fulfilling. Before Li Zetian crossed over, he was considered a master of "League of Legends". He also participated in the local League of Legends competition. .Li Zetian believes that if he becomes a professional LOL player, he will definitely become a top player and lead the Chinese team to win the world championship.However, his ambition is not here, but imagining to learn from Bill Gates and become a billionaire by writing software.

In the conference room, Li Zetian began to instill the key points of PC game development, and classified them into: real-time strategy games, fighting games, third-person perspective shooting games, role-playing games, action games, racing games, etc.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and exclaimed that Li Zetian was born a master of game design.

Li Zetian continued at this time: "The key factor for the quality of a game lies in the game engine. It can even be said that the game engine is the root of a game! With the improvement of game graphics, 3D game graphics have become the future development trend. Not only It is only used for TV games, and it will also be widely used in PC games. Therefore, 3D engine technology will be the top priority of Flamingo, and Flamingo must invest huge sums of money and manpower to develop 3D engine technology!!!”

"Yes!!!" Seeing Li Zetian's serious attitude, everyone quickly nodded in response, thinking that they must devote all their energy to developing the 3D game engine.Once the game engine is developed, it is much easier to develop the game.In fact, games are developed on the basis of game engines, and the same game engine can develop different games.

For game developers, as we all know, the game engine is fundamental, it is like an engine that controls the operation of the game.

Simply put, game = engine + resources.

"Game engine" includes the following systems: rendering engine ("renderer", including two-dimensional image engine and three-dimensional image engine), physics engine, collision detection system, sound effect, script engine, computer animation, artificial intelligence, network engine and scene management and more.

"Game resources" include images, sounds, animations and other parts.

This is why Li Zetian values ​​the game engine so much.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. With a good game engine, you are not afraid that you will not be able to develop a good game! !
After the chat, Li Zetian left.

Afterwards, he went to Intel to learn more about the Intel 80386 chip and the company.

With the rise of personal computers, the microprocessor market is booming, and Intel is also facing many competitors. Zilog and Motorola are serious competitors to Intel with their own chip offerings.At the same time, Big Blue IBM is secretly researching its own CPU-286, and AMD has also begun to get involved in the field of CPU manufacturing.

How can Intel defend its market position?The only way is to introduce a more advanced processor, so the 32-bit Intel80386 came into being!

"Intel didn't authorize AMD to produce Intel's 8086 chips and 80286 chips. How did it develop? Humph, now AMD has even started to get involved in the CPU manufacturing field, clearly trying to drive Intel from our seat! In the conference room, an executive said angrily, "However, fortunately, we have developed a more powerful Intel80386 chip. This time, I think we must not license the technology to AMD again! And we have The reason why the technology is licensed to AMD is because of the mandatory requirements of IBM, but now, IBM is a fart!!!”

After speaking, he looked at Li Zetian.
