Obviously, Tang Huan is creating a topic to attract attention to his supercomputer.

At a media briefing with a relaxed atmosphere, after Tang Huan introduced the plan with ambition, the host deliberately gave the first opportunity to ask a question to a beautiful female reporter from CNN, who took good care of her relatives. The suspicion of thick media.

However, it was difficult for the female reporter to give Tang Huan a hand, and immediately asked: "I believe that a supercomputer with a computing power of 10gflps is very powerful, but is the investment advice analyzed by the machine credible?"

"I understand what you mean." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "It is undeniable that the protagonist of this project is the mathematical model of financial analysis. Even if the computing power of the Fangyuan supercomputer reaches 1000gflps, it is only a supporting role in auxiliary calculation. We will Use the most advanced and comprehensive analysis methods possible to make the calculation results more credible."

"Then excuse me, Tang, would you believe it?" the female reporter asked.

"Of course I believe." Tang Huan showed his attitude without hesitation, "You know, this is science."

"In that case, will you invest based on the results of this analysis at that time? What amount of funds will you use?" The female reporter's "trick" the richest man's drama caused various media in the audience to snicker.

Amidst the noise, Tang Huan replied with a slight embarrassment: "You are right. If the result of this analysis just stays on paper and does not take action, then it will be completely reduced to a commercial advertisement. Personally, Willing to invest a sum of money to verify the results of this plan. As for the amount of funds..."

Having said this, Tang Huan held up a finger vaguely and shook it.

Seeing that the female reporter was about to make things difficult again, the host quickly said: "The next opportunity to ask questions...Give it to a professional media friend in the i field."

The second reporter’s question is indeed a lot more serious. "The Taiji-ii of the Fangyuan supercomputer reached 5.2gflps the year before. The latest Fangyuan supercomputer. It must break through 10gflps in computing performance. The doubled increase is not unreasonable. Great. May I ask, what is the key to supporting this leap?"

"Supercomputer is a comprehensive system. Any shortcoming in any link will lower the overall performance." Tang Huan explained as a computer expert.

"Of course, it still follows the general computer science laws, and the key component in the first place is pu."

"This new system uses the third-generation version of the Japanese s microprocessor hler, manufactured by the world's leading 1 micron process, and its highest clock frequency is expected to exceed 100hz. In addition, hler-3 is still instructing Many aspects such as collection, cache, electrical, etc. have been optimized, and the performance has improved significantly."

"It is no exaggeration to say that hler-3 is currently the world's most powerful microprocessor, which in turn provides ample computing power for the new generation of Fangyuan supercomputers."

"As for the more detailed specifications of hler-3, if you are interested, you can learn about it through the forthcoming technical white paper."

"The point I need to point out here is that, as the so-called Vientiane update, hler-3 has a brand new performance, its license system, and the programming language compilers such as frran,,, chapter, and operations that run on it. The copyright mechanism of Vientiane will undergo certain changes."

"Take a specific example, we all know that the hler product line is divided into four major series, namely, hler-l for embedded devices, hler- for workstations, hler- for servers, according to different application fields. h. hler-s for supercomputers."

"Now, we intend to establish a more open license system for hler, and first try in a brand-new application field, that is, electronic game consoles."

"Ea may become the first beneficiary. Its next-generation home TV game console, the third-generation Cassidy game console, is a customized version of hler, which will definitely bring players a refreshing experience. Moreover, it will not let everyone wait. It’s been too long."

Reporters from all walks of life didn't expect Tang Huan to come out to blow the air this time, shaking so much heavyweight news. Immediately someone could not bear to rush to ask: "Tang, do you mean that ea's new generation of home video game consoles has entered the countdown to release? The performance of hler-3 is so powerful, and the three generations of Xiaobawang game consoles are specific What kind of specification will it be?"

"For further details about the three generations of Xiaobawang game consoles, please forgive me for not being able to comment here." Tang Huan put on the appearance of accidentally failing to say something just now, "I can only say that after the PC enters the 32-bit era, its performance It is so powerful that it has very pleasing game effects. As a hardware platform dedicated to running video games, the pu of the second-generation Cassidy game console is also a 16-bit customized microprocessor of the Motorola 68000 series, even supporting true color It’s all troublesome, and it’s time to make changes."

...

What is an industry leader? That's just a fart. Many people will come over and smell it to see if it's garlic or onion. It's best to use this to analyze what perfect soup the owner has recently used.

After the media briefing, what the public talked about most was that Tang Huan was embarrassed by a beautiful reporter who was "taught". Every day in the United States, there are celebrities of all kinds who respond to embarrassing situations with American self-deprecation, but everyone obviously prefers to see how the richest man performs.

Nowadays, a gaming company has opened the market specifically, betting on what Tang Huan's outstretched finger means. US$10,000, US$100,000, US$1 million, or higher?

In the street interviews conducted by CNN, more than two-thirds of the people believed that the richest man could not be too stingy in order to demonstrate the power of the Fangyuan supercomputer. That finger should represent $1 million. meaning.

As a veteran Tang Huanhei, the "New York Post", who is unwilling to be lonely, gloats and said: "We think that finger means 100 million U.S. dollars."

Ordinary people have fun in various ways from the richest man, while professional observers have analyzed a large number of important i industry trends from Tang Huan's speech at the media briefing.

First of all, hler-3, which has begun to emerge, has made the sun shine more and more, and has the potential to indicate the future development direction of microprocessors.

There is even news that even is manufacturers such as Motorola and Intel have secretly formulated Japanese R&D plans as alternatives on the product line.

Venture capital is even more intriguing and favors startup companies related to Japan.

According to market research, in addition to the successfully launched hler, ips, spar, pa-ris and other Japanese s microprocessors, there are also large and small numbers including ib, e, Motorola, Intel, and Apollo computers. Ten companies are developing their own microprocessors.

It is completely foreseeable that in the next few years, a battle of life and death will erupt in the field of microprocessors. The outcome will not only determine which s microprocessors will survive, but may also affect the trend of is microprocessors.

In addition to the Japanese war, the three generations of Xiaobawang game consoles in ea's legend finally revealed the tip of the iceberg in Tang Huan's careless "gaffe".

Although Tang Huan only mentioned it in a few words, the expert eyes have already determined the three generations of Xiaobawang game consoles from the customized hler-3, true color, and several key points that will not let players wait too long. The outline of it will be a 32-bit host that supports true color, and it is expected to be presented to the public as soon as this year.

In ea's game release notice, the mysterious "32" appears in the names of new versions of works such as "Flight Simulator", "nbalie", "fifa", and "Monopoly", which seems to have confirmed this.

If all this is true, then the fully recovered North American video game market is very likely to usher in a new game console war. After all, currently disadvantaged manufacturers such as Nintendo, Sega, and NE cannot give up the favorable opportunity of market rules changes in order to pull ea from the throne of the overlord. Maybe, there will be new companies joining this battle group.

These analysis results have to pass more or less a period of time before they can be verified whether they are correct or not. But there is an analysis result that has immediately demonstrated its influence.

One characteristic of the three generations of Xiaobawang game consoles that are ready to be released is that they support the true color of the milk elr like the four generations of Fangyuan personal computers.

The specific meaning of this concept is: the three channels describing pixels, such as rgb red, green and blue, are each represented by one byte; if the alpha channel representing the degree of transparency is enabled, there will be a fourth byte.

According to the resolutions usually supported by video games from 256x224 to 640x480, the minimum number of bytes required for a screen image is 24x256x224÷8÷1024=168kb.

Under this circumstance, it is very likely that the main memory of the three generations of Xiaobawang game consoles will reach 2b, and the video memory will reach 1b, plus audio memory, input buffer, operating system firmware, etc., and the whole host will not require memory Inferior to a personal computer.

In other words, once the third-generation Cassidy game console is put into commercial mass production, it will consume a lot of memory chips.

If this situation were placed a year ago, nothing can be seen. But now is the time when the personal computer market is raging, and there is also a huge demand for memory chips.

In particular, the imbalance between supply and demand in the US market has led to a substantial increase in the price of global dynamic random access memory. If the three generations of Xiaobawang game consoles come to join in the fun, it can only be described as adding fuel to the fire.

When this interpretation of Tang Huan's speech was released to the public, the market reacted exactly like this, and the price of global dynamic random access memory rose by 5%.

Don't doubt that the US semiconductor industry is so persuaded that it doesn't even have the dominant price.

At this stage, among the top ten semiconductor manufacturers in the world, Japan occupies five places, and the first place is ne.

However, major American manufacturers such as Motorola, Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, Intel, and a. After the impact of the dumping of Japanese counterparts, their main business has long since dared to hang on a tree of dynamic random access memory.

As for manufacturers such as Micron that specialize in dynamic random access memory, their current status is not enough, and their influence is naturally very limited.

More importantly, at the 256kb dynamic random access memory chip, the US semiconductor industry has been completely surpassed by its Japanese counterparts, and it is still passively catching up until now.

In a nutshell, Japanese semiconductor manufacturers are in full control of the global supply of dynamic random access memory, and they can swipe their swords how they want to harvest. The average buyer can only stretch his neck and be slaughtered.

The price of dynamic random access memory has risen again, and most of the personal computer manufacturers immediately kneel down, and the industry is full of sorrows.

This is the difficult stage of the price war for personal computer hardware ~www.readwn.com~ The participants who have paid huge resources before are not willing to give up the results they have already achieved, so they gritted their teeth and carried it on, hoping for others to be the first. Can't stand it and crash down.

Looking at the documents, John Chambers found that many of the competitor’s products that were compiled by his subordinates appeared to be out of stock. He couldn’t help grinning, and muttered in his heart: “The boss’s trick is too cruel, small companies, especially most ib-p compatible machine manufacturers almost all have to die at this threshold. Nowadays, only big players like Fangyuan, ib, and Compaq have the strength to play the game. The better place lies in this round of dynamic random access memory. Even if the price rises sharply, even if you say it is artificially promoted, you will definitely not be accepted. It is really killing invisible."

The CEO of Fangyuan Computer Company was using a stroke to delete the names of those manufacturers sentenced to death. A supervisor came to report: "HP wants to turn over a batch of dynamic random access memory chips from us."

"It won't be enough." John Chambers frowned suspiciously. "We only use the memory sticks for Fangyuan personal computers. We don't have enough dynamic random access memory chips. Also, let this news go out."

After the other party took the order, John Chambers shook his head and muttered to himself: "This personal computer standards war is probably about to end. If it goes on, I will be frightened." To be continued.)
