The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

"I believe what everyone is most looking forward to now is the price of the Deep Blue Starlink satellite receiver. The price of the Deep Blue Starlink satellite receiver in the United States is 499 US dollars, and the sales price of the Deep Blue Starlink satellite receiver outside the United States is 299 US dollars.

40GB流量套餐199美刀，1TB套餐是299美刀，2TB价格是499美刀。

The prices of the remaining accessories are.” Pablo Hodges began to introduce them.

When American netizens saw that the Starlink satellite receiver was sold for US$499 in the United States, they were furious.

“Why is the price outside the United States 299, but in the United States it costs 499?”

"You have imposed a 35% tariff on dark blue. It is not normal for the product to be more expensive. As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. We can't let you sell dark blue at a low price."

"I now buy electronic products in Mexico. The top-end version of Deep Blue MAX4 was only sold for US$1599 in China, but after the tariffs were imposed, the price rose to US$2199. Deep Blue's electronic products are half as expensive in the United States."

"Emmm, why are the prices of data plans the same, but the prices of satellite receivers vary so much?"

"Because traffic is not a physical product, the US government has no control over it, so without tariffs the price is lower."

"America has done what it has done to itself. It can only pay a high price to buy dark blue things."

"Fortunately, the EU did not impose additional tariffs on dark blue. Otherwise, we would have to buy dark blue products at super high prices like Americans do. It's not that we don't want to buy products from our own country, but our own products are too lousy."

Not long after the press conference ended.

Walmart’s official website sold 38 Starlink satellite receivers, of which more than 7 were in the United States.

In the president's office at Walmart headquarters, Doug McMillon couldn't stop grinning as he looked at the sales of Starlink satellite receivers.

"Great, great, that's great." Doug McMillan smiled happily.

The reason why Doug McMillan smiled so happily was that the American Regional Receiving Center was a joint venture between Walmart and Deep Blue, and Walmart could get a share of the communication costs.

Communication costs can bring a steady stream of profits to Walmart. It can be said that the more Walmart sells, the more it earns. How could Doug McMillen not be happy when he can make money without doing anything?

What's more, they are the exclusive agent of DeepBlue Electronics in Europe and the United States.

You should know that Walmart's market value was only 2013 billion US dollars in 4000. Since Walmart became the exclusive general agent of Deep Blue Electronics in Europe and the United States, Walmart's market value has directly increased from 4000 billion US dollars to 7800 billion US dollars.

In two years, Walmart's market value has almost doubled. Now that Deep Blue Aerospace has launched the Starlink satellite network, it is only a matter of time before Walmart's market value exceeds one trillion.

Doug McMillan's salary also nearly tripled after he signed with Deep Blue Group as its agent in Europe and the United States.

At this time, many people were envious after seeing the sales of Starlink satellite receivers.

It's a pity that they can only envy Deep Blue. This thing has a very high technical content and they can't make it just because they want to. In their opinion, the cost of this thing is also very high and it cannot be done without hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Cupertino Fruit Headquarters, California.

CEO's office.

Cook felt an inexplicable sense of worry as he looked at the news on his computer.

"Deep Blue can make the satellite antenna so small, so can mobile phones also receive satellite signals?" Cook muttered to himself.

If Deep Blue really launches a thin and light smartphone that can connect to satellites, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the fruit company. At this moment, Cook can only pray in his heart that Deep Blue cannot come up with such black technology.

In fact, it’s not just Cook who thinks this way. Many semiconductor companies think this way. Deep Blue’s technology is far ahead of them.

Office of the President of Shenlan Industrial Park.

At this moment, Han Chen is experiencing the AR glasses sample sent by Tan Tai Lingling. The carbon fiber glasses weigh only 89 grams, which is only 30 grams heavier than ordinary metal frame glasses. Even if you wear them for a long time, you will not feel tired.

The Microe OLED developed by BOE specifically for Deep Blue Group has a single-eye resolution of 4K, and the combined resolution of two eyes is 8K, and the display effect is no different from that seen by the naked eye.

The host waist bag equipped with a 2 mAh battery weighs only 1.5 kilograms. Wearing it on the waist will not give the user any sense of weight. The 2 mAh battery can provide users with an 8-hour long battery life experience.

The 7nm Luban chip makes the system extremely smooth, and there is no lag when using it. The operation is no different from the previous Vision Pro, and some functions even far exceed the Fruit Vision Pro.

It’s not that Han Chen doesn’t want to use the 5-nanometer Luban chip. The 5-nanometer Luban chip is still under development, and the difficulty of developing 5-nanometer is much higher than that of 7-nanometer.

Han Chen was extremely satisfied with his design.

Just when Han Chen was having a great time, the door light on the table lit up. After Han Chen turned on the door light, Changsun Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and walked in.

"Honey, what are these glasses you are wearing?" Changsun Xiaoxiao asked curiously after closing the door.

Seeing that Han Chen was busy, Chang Sun Xiaoxiao sat opposite Han Chen. Normally, she would sit directly on Han Chen's lap.

"The company has just developed a new product. When did you come back?" Han Chen asked.

Recently, Chang Sun Xiao Xiao has been filming the drama "In the Octagonal Cage" in Tianfu. The protagonist is the cuckold king Wang Baobao, just like in his previous life.

"I just got off the plane and came to your place. Can I play with these glasses?" Chang Sun Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"No problem, but you have to stay calm and don't be scared by this thing." Han Chen said as he took off the AR glasses and host waist bag and placed them on the table.

"I won't do that." Chang Sun Xiaoxiao said proudly.

Then she picked up the AR glasses on the table and put them on, but the scene in front of her shocked her for a long time.

"Honey, this is so amazing, how do you operate this thing?" Changsun Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

"You can turn on the air operation function in the system and operate it directly with your hands, or you can directly use the keyboard on my desk to operate it." Han Chen said.

"This thing is really amazing. Once this product is on the market, I think it will definitely make a global sensation." Chang Sun Xiaoxiao said while experiencing the AR glasses.

"This thing is destined not to sell well. The glasses alone cost more than 4200 yuan, and the host costs about 7000 yuan. The price of a set should be at least 2 yuan." Han Chen said. "This thing is so expensive?" Changsun Xiaoxiao was surprised.

"These glasses are made of carbon fiber. The frame alone costs more than 300 yuan. The two display chips inside are even more expensive. Two display chips cost 3000 yuan. If you want a cheaper price, you have to wait at least another two years." Han Chen said.

"It's really cruel of you to sell this set of things for three times the price, my husband." Changsun Xiaoxiao joked.

"The R&D costs are also very high. The laboratory is burning money every day. All Deep Blue's experimental projects combined cost at least 5 million yuan a day, which means at least 1500 billion yuan a year. If I don't make more money, all this money will be gone." Han Chen said.

"Ah, research and development is so expensive?" Changsun Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

"Isn't this a normal thing?" Han Chen replied.

"Honey, will the company burn down if the fire keeps burning? But don't worry, I will support you in the future." Changsun Xiaoxiao joked.

"The reserve funds in the group's account are enough for the company to burn for 10 years even if the company doesn't make any profit for 10 years," Han Chen said with a smile.

Deep Blue Group's net profit in 2013 was 4924 billion yuan, and in 2014 it reached 6437 billion yuan. There will be no problem for the profit to exceed 8000 billion yuan this year. The profits of the previous two years alone added up to 11361 billion yuan. Now money is just a number to Han Chen.

Even if all this money is gone, Han Chen still has 52 bitcoins in his hands. In the future, the price of Bitcoin will at least rise to more than 6 US dollars.

In the future, these bitcoins will be worth more than 300 billion US dollars. Even if Han Chen donates the entire Deep Blue Group, the 300 billion US dollars will be enough for their family to spend.

Chang Sun Xiaoxiao was surprised by Han Chen's words, and her mouth opened wide enough to fit a big light bulb.

She knew that Han Chen was rich, but she didn't expect that Han Chen was so rich. It would not be an exaggeration to describe Han Chen as rich enough to rival a country.

"Honey, I have decided not to film in the next year." Zhang Sun Xiaoxiao took off her AR glasses and said with a smile.

"So what do you want to do next?" Han Chen asked curiously.

"Of course, it's to give birth to a baby for you." Chang Sun Xiaoxiao said and pulled Han Chen to the lounge.

Changsun Xiaoxiao knew that Yin Ruoyue and Gulina both gave birth to a child for Han Chen, so Changsun Xiaoxiao also wanted to have a child of her own.

Just last night, the British company ARM released the latest Cortex-X1 architecture. According to the information released by ARM, the performance of the new Cortex-X1 exceeds that of the Deep Blue 4 core by 25%.

Cortex-X1是自定义CPU核，解码带宽从4路提升到5路，增加了25%，NEON浮点从2条128b提升到了4条128b，相当于浮点性能翻倍。

缓存方面，Cortex-X1的L1缓存可达64KB，L2缓存1MB，L3缓存可达8MB，是Cortex-A78的两倍。

By using the 4+2+2 design, ARM surpassed Deep Blue Group in the ARM field for the first time.

However, even though ARM's latest Cortex-X1 architecture surpasses Deep Blue Group in performance, the instruction set used in their Cortex-X1 architecture is still the instruction set developed by Deep Blue Group.

Although they surpassed Deep Blue in the research and development of large cores, they only surpassed Deep Blue on the surface. You should know that Deep Blue 4 was released a year ago, and Deep Blue has gone through many iterations in the past year.

April 2015, 7, US time.

Just now AMD released some information about new mobile CPUs on its official website.

According to information disclosed, this CPU uses the Luban architecture and the process uses a 7-nanometer process.

AMD named this chip Tyrannosaurus Rex. This chip adopts a 4+4 architecture, consisting of 4 large cores and 4 small cores. The CPU performance is 4 times that of Deep Blue 1.6. The GPU uses AMD's self-developed GPU, but its performance is slightly weaker than Kong Xuan MB200.

Although Tyrannosaurus is a short instruction set CPU, its performance is no weaker than X86, and its performance is 7 times that of the previous generation Core i1.2.

This news shocked the entire American semiconductor industry, and netizens were also talking about it after seeing this information.

"This AMD actually directly uses the Luban architecture?"

"The performance of Luban architecture is higher than ARM. It is not normal for AMD to use Luban architecture. And you didn't read the introduction on the official website. This CPU is 4 times faster than Deep Blue 1.2. From the current situation, Luban architecture is more powerful. The only disadvantage of Luban architecture is that it only supports Pangu system."

"Pangu OS is better than Widnos, isn't it? Pangu OS is not stuck at all, and it doesn't have a blue screen."

"What the above brother said is right. I also used Pangu system two months ago. Pangu system is much better than Widnos. The most important thing is that Pangu system is completely free. There is no charge for personal use of Pangu system."

"I also use Pangu system. Pangu system has strong anti-virus capabilities. I have never been infected with a virus in all the time I have used it."

"That's because the Pangu system is a closed system. All software must pass Deep Blue certification before it can be put on the shelves. Only after it is confirmed that there are no problems can it be put on the shelves."

"The performance of CPUs has increased exponentially, which is much better than the days of squeezing toothpaste."

"From the data, it can be seen that the short instruction set CPU has surpassed X86 in performance. In addition, the power consumption of the short instruction set CPU is lower than that of X86. I wonder if AMD will abandon the X86 architecture because of this."

"It is only a matter of time before short instruction set CPU replaces X86. However, in the short term, short instruction set CPU cannot surpass X86 because X86 instruction set performance is much stronger than short instruction set. Currently, short instruction set is only temporarily ahead of X86. Deep Blue Group is still developing X86 CPU, so how can short instruction set CPU surpass X86?"

"What the above person said is correct. The short instruction set is limited by the architecture and cannot be compared with X86 in terms of frequency."

"Then why don't I just increase the frequency directly?"

"It's not as simple as you think. X86 can easily increase its frequency to 5Gz, but it is very difficult for the short instruction set to exceed 4Gz. There are many complex issues involved, which cannot be explained in a few words."

"I don't know whether other companies can do it, but I know Deep Blue can definitely do it."

In fact, it is not as simple as the netizen above thinks.

In addition to the architecture, if you want to improve CPU performance, you must also consider the CPU clock frequency. As the frequency increases, the power consumption will also increase. Increased power consumption is likely to cause leakage or other problems.

These problems cannot be solved in a short period of time.

If it were that easy to solve, Deep Blue Group would have already produced CPUs above 4Gz.

Of course, it does not mean that the CPU frequency of a short instruction set cannot reach 4Gz. If you spend some time studying this problem, you can still solve it. In the past, TSMC produced a 4.2Gz ARM CPU. (End of this chapter)
