God-level Trader of Rebirth

Song Yiming had long expected that Infinity would launch its own complete machine.

As the number one high-tech private company in China, even the most core chips of the computer are handled, so will it not be able to manufacture accessories such as sound cards, graphics cards, and motherboards?

Even if they can't make it for the time being, there are still a lot of domestic manufacturers to choose from.

But when he clicked on a post and took a look, he almost jumped up in shock!
Because what Infinity launched this time is not a 486 or 586 compatible chip, but a 64-bit processor!
The name of this processor is still the "Tianji No. [-]" that everyone knew before!
In computer processors, this bit refers to the length of data that can be processed by a clock pulse in one machine cycle.

Because the computer was first invented in the West, and the eight-digit binary number used can just represent the commonly used English letters.

Therefore, the representation method of the computer is usually expressed in multiples of eight.

For example, the early 8086 and 8088 microprocessors were all eight-bit machines.

286 chip, it is a sixteen-bit computer.

386, 486, and now the Pentium (586) launched by Intel are all 32-bit machines.

The 64-bit processor computer launched by Infinity Company this time has doubled the performance of Intel's processor!
In fact, the CPU is not something difficult to make, even if you have zero foundation, just buy a few related books, such as: "Computer Principles", "Single-chip Microcomputer Architecture", "Instruction Collection", etc., and read it several times. Make an eight-bit CPU yourself.

It's just that even if it is made, it has no use value.

CPUs with large processes are not difficult, mainly depending on the component spacing on the circuit board.

Because the essence of the CPU is just some simple circuits, but it is the biggest difficulty to integrate them highly.

Song Yiming flipped through the post quickly.

According to the news from Infinity, the Dimensity processor uses 150nm manufacturing technology, which is slightly ahead of Intel's recently released Pentium 4 in terms of manufacturing process.

This means that in a silicon chip of the same size, the Dimensity chip is more integrated than the Pentium 4.

However, through the pictures on the post, Song Yiming discovered that the Dimensity chip seems to be a bit smaller than the Intel chip, and the chip voltage is also slightly lower.

This means their chips are, in a way, more stable.

However, due to the different chip sizes, Dimensity chips can only be used on their special motherboards, and are not interchangeable with Intel chips.

For this reason, Infinity also stated that if the customer has no objection, the motherboard and processor will be bundled for sale.

In terms of performance, both have their own advantages.

While Infinity is compatible with the Intel x86 instruction set, it has also extended its own instruction set to 64 bits.

Moreover, many multimedia processing instructions have been added.

In this way, while continuing to be compatible with the existing 32-bit software, more possibilities are added for subsequent expansion.

Even under the post, there are employees of Infinity Company who revealed that they have made individual design optimizations for the characteristics of the Dimensity 64-bit processor.

If you play games, you will have a very obvious improvement in fluency!
However, Intel's 32-bit processors have always been known for their high quality and high stability, and several generations of products have passed the test of the market.

When processing 32-bit programs, it can achieve a faster speed than the infinite Dimensity processor.

Which of the two is better and which is more suitable, it is really difficult to distinguish clearly for a while.

Ordinary people judge from common sense that Intel is the overlord in the field of personal computers, and has an unparalleled absolute advantage in the personal computer market.

There are a lot of software that supports Intel technology.

Not to mention some supporting hardware manufacturers.

Many of their standards are extended based on Intel's technology.

Although the Dimensity processor launched by Infinity has great advantages in processing 64-bit data, if those software vendors do not support it, its effect will not be outstanding.

Even if the 64-bit processing method is used to speed up the data processing speed, it can at most be tied with Intel.

For example, some industrial software, and even the programming software of CNC machine tools, all use 32-bit processing methods, and their programs are already very stable and mature.

To develop software specifically for them, the risk is simply too great!
The post that Song Yiming saw started a heated discussion on these two processors.

In terms of content, almost all netizens expressed full praise for Infinity's ability to take the lead in launching the 64-bit concept and expanding the instruction set.

It is worthy of being the number one high-tech company in China, and it is always one step ahead in terms of concept and technology.

But for its prospects, there are not many people who are optimistic about it.

Because going from 32-bit to 64-bit is technically not the biggest challenge, if Intel is willing, they can also come up with their own 64-bit processor in a short period of time.

And it can be confirmed that if Intel also launches its own 64-bit processor, it will definitely abandon the 64-bit extended instruction set developed by Infinity.

Do something else yourself.

When these two sides confront each other, it is self-evident which side those international software designers will support.

Many domestic professional media, experts in the computer field, computer enthusiasts, and programmers have expressed their views.

Song Yiming randomly picked the posts of several computer experts and looked at them.

The post expressed his own views on the chip's architecture design, manufacturing process, instruction set, and embedded 2MB cache.

It is agreed that the idea of ​​​​Infinity Company is bold, and the processor itself is extremely successful and excellent, but the future is also bumpy.

Next, he saw an expert's trial review of this processor on the website.

They compared the Dimensity chip provided by Infinity with the Pentium 4 chip, and used professional testing software to obtain a series of data.

Infinity's Dimensity processor is slightly inferior to Intel's chips under 32-bit programs.

Both parties also run a drawing software, because the software itself is 32-bit, and the Dimensity processor is slightly lower than the wind when it comes to multi-layer rendering.

As for stability, the test time is not enough, so it is impossible to compare for the time being.

But in terms of entertainment, especially games, the speed of Infinity's 64-bit optimized version has obviously been greatly improved!
The effect is almost twice as strong as that of Intel!
As for Intel's Pentium 4 chip, this first-generation version cannot run 64-bit programs at all, so there is no comparison between the two.

Song Yiming had already forgotten that he only had 10 minutes left to board the computer, and if he exceeded that, he would have to pay extra.

He greedily looked at one review report after another, carefully comparing the opinions expressed in each comment post.

Supporters of the Infinity Corporation are everywhere here.

The first self-developed chip of the Chinese people is comparable to Intel's latest processor. What a significance!

What is even more exciting is that the domestic semiconductor technology has unknowingly caught up with the international mainstream level!
this means.

In the future, the semiconductor industry will not be in the hands of Western countries.

Of course, there are also quite a few Intel publicity personnel in the posts. The two sides scolded each other in the Qiandu post bar, teased each other, and mocked each other's chips.
