Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

Chapter 1949 Pentium's BUG
What Wan Feng remembered was that when the Pentium processor was released, it was actually released with a bug.

A few days before the launch of the Pentium generation, Intel programmers found that some deviations occurred in the division operation of the Pentium chip during testing. According to their own statement, this problem may only appear in 90 billion division operations. 1 error.

Intel executives believed that very few people would be affected by this calculation error, and decided to launch the Pentium chip as originally planned.

Thought Intel could fix this before people found out.

In the last life, it was a New York bank and a multimedia development company that first discovered this loophole, and miscalculation occurred when using a computer equipped with a Pentium microprocessor.

Then, an American laboratory in Long Island, New York, also discovered a miscalculation when calculating the effect of subatomic collisions.

This incident was exposed.

It is said that when this problem broke out, Intel's valuation fell by [-]%.

The time was February [-], almost two years after the release of the Pentium processor.

The flaw stemmed from the Pentium chip's built-in floating-point unit, and Intel thought it could fix the problem before people discovered it, but it didn't until the problem was exposed.

Not only the Pentium, but also the following Kurui and other chips have always had this problem, and it has not been solved.

After the problem broke out, Intel's excuse was that only one error occurred in 90 billion calculations, and it would take 7000 years to convert it to a personal computer, so it would not delay use.

IBM ran out at this time to slap the face. An expert from the company believed that the error rate of the Pentium microprocessor was much higher than what Intel itself said.For each user, an error occurs on average every 24 days.

It really doesn't have much impact on ordinary people, even if a mistake occurs once a day, it doesn't have much consequence, but it is a big problem for some high-tech enterprises and units.

If the Pentium computer used for the missiles of the United States also makes mistakes, the missiles may fly somewhere.

But Intel ordered a recall of these chips.

This led Intel to announce the recall of the affected CPUs. The cost of Intel's recall was as high as 4.75 million yuan. Including inflation, Intel lost [-] million yuan.

After these chips were taken back, some of the defective CPUs were officially made into keychains.

Wan Feng thinks that this is a gimmick that can be used. Although it is impossible to make Intel suffer from a setback, it is possible to add obstacles to it and affect its reputation. This is what Wan Feng is happy to see.

But he doesn't want Intel to die right away. If it really dies, then AMD will live. It is also a US company.

It is better to let them compete with each other, and other companies hide behind and develop secretly.

Although exposing this problem now that the recall of Intel will not cause as much cost as in the previous life, the reputation of the Pentium that has been exposed now has a huge impact, even if it is not fatal, it is enough for it to drink a pot.

After all, this is a chip that has just been released. Just when everyone began to accept the advanced nature of this chip, it suddenly revealed that it was defective. Who would buy it?
Of course, it was exaggerated when it was reported. Obviously, the eye of a needle should be said to be as big as the mouth of a bowl.

Go to court?Just tell me if your chip is faulty, right?
have it?What else do you say?Even if you sue me for exaggerating, it can't prove that you are not wrong.

In this way, the situation of preparing to dominate the country after galloping out in the previous life will be greatly delayed, even if it is delayed for a year, it is still a victory.

"Cheng Gong! Check the Pentium chip carefully. There must be something wrong with it. The main reason is the division. When the Minister Wu Chuan came to chat with me two days ago, he said that he saw an internal reference. There was an article on it. Experts from the United States said that the Pentium chip has a loophole in the division, and there will be a calculation error after a certain number of calculations, you can verify it."

Wan Feng couldn't explain how he knew about this loophole, so he had no choice but to pull Wu Chuan out and take the blame.

Cheng Gong's eyes lit up.

"Is there such a thing?"

"I'll give you a month to find out this loophole, and let me know when it's confirmed."

"Okay! I'll take someone to do the calculation myself right away."

For a moment, Cheng Gong seemed to have a motor installed on his body, stepping on a hot wheel, he passed Wan Feng in a swift motion, and rushed out the door like the wind, leaving behind someone who was still circling on the chair with a dazed expression.

A few days later, Chen Wenxin came back from Beijing and handed over the formal agreement to Wan Feng.

"Okay, I'm exhausted from being urged to and fro by you."

Wan Feng put the agreement in the safe.

"Don't complain, I'll give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."

Chen Wenxin immediately recovered his spirits: "How big is the red envelope?"

"You women can't make a difference? When you mention money, your ears fly off your legs."

"Who will lose energy when they hear about money? Tell me! How big are the red envelopes?"

"How about five hundred?"

"Bah! How old did I think it was, sending off the children!"

"Haha! Don't worry! You are guaranteed to be satisfied. Our company's salary standard is not too high, because it has to take care of all aspects, but the boss is never stingy with bonuses. As long as you do the job, you will laugh out loud." Bonuses for snot bubbles."

"It's what you said, I'll remember it, and if you send me a red envelope that doesn't satisfy me, I'll..."

"What are you doing?"

"I'll give your son an ugly nickname, son of a bitch!"

Wan Feng laughed, what's the use?He doesn't care if it's a dog or a tortoise.

"Then I'm leaving, go home and have a look, and then I have to go to Shanghai."

Chen Wenxin left gracefully.

Chen Wenxin's plan was to go home and see her mother, and then set off for Shang Hai's office, but her plan might be that the abacus had dropped and she hadn't calculated it well.

Because the next day, a few blond foreigners came from the Nanwan Group.

When Wan Feng learned that the other party was Ailixin's visitor, he frowned.

Ailixin is a company affiliated to Ruidian, and Wan Feng doesn't like the country Ruidian.

It stands to reason that Ruidian and Huaguo are separated by tens of thousands of miles, so they are completely irrelevant, and no one can reach the other.

But this country continued to add chaos to Huaguo many years later, and Wan Feng really couldn't figure out how the brain circuits of these foreigners were formed.

Is the pig large intestine a grade?

Wan Feng was not in the mood to talk to these people, since these foreigners had nothing good to do when they came, so he called Chen Wenxin and asked Chen Wenxin to talk to them.

He didn't have time to go home and make Luan Feng happy when he had time to argue with these foreigners.
