Chapter 780: Tablet can be developed

"Zhang Dong, are you looking for me?" Wang Zhengfu, the head of the R&D center here, walked into the office and stood opposite Zhang Yang. And Lisa Su was standing behind Wang Zhengfu, with some meaning of wanting to leave and staying.
"You two sit down, I have some questions to ask. First of all, this APU frequency can reach 1.8G, or dual-core architecture, but the GPU frequency is only 400M, is it slower?"
"Zhang Dong, don't look at our low-end graphics card technology, but when integrated into this APU, its performance is better than those of 500M."
Ordinary PCs hand over some computational tasks to the GPU, but on the contrary, they can share the computational power and strengthen the graphics card's effect, resulting in better performance.
"Can this CPU be overclocked? Since we define it as an acceleration processor, then the peak acceleration frequency should exceed the theoretical CPU frequency."
Wang Zhengfu stayed for a while: "Sorry, in theory, it should be possible, but the specific volume has not yet been listed. This is also our subsequent adjustment direction."
Anyone who doesn’t know technology can raise this question, and it proves how much this issue is concerned by consumers. Their research and development progress is still too slow. He is the vice president of Super Eagle Eagle Weida China Branch. The person in charge of the R&D center is a bit incompetent.
"It's okay, just determine the direction. I just ask, so I have a better understanding of the performance. The performance of the second-level cache looks good, but the performance of the GPU is still weak, which can achieve mid-range performance. Then there is a gap compared to high-end ones."
"You know that many people do not have high requirements for CPUs, but do they have high requirements for GPUs? Can we connect a GPU again?"
Lisa Su also looked at Wang Zhengfu, which was also a question she wanted to know.
"In theory, it should be okay, just add an interface. But we haven't considered it before. I was negligent in this direction. I arranged for someone to do research and development."
Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Your support for memory is also good, I think it is already very good. If the performance test is stable, there is no problem, you can push it to the market."
At this time, many games do not have high CPU requirements, and some computers used for Internet access have low CPU performance. This APU can reach dual-core 1.8G, so it will not be eliminated in two or three years, but others’ CPUs can be passed later. GPU upgrade upgrade speed, upgrade the memory card or something, they can only upgrade the memory card, can not upgrade the GPU, would it fall into the disadvantage?
But at least this architecture is completed, and some of the subsequent shortcomings can be solved by some way. The large amount of R&D funds invested in these years has finally fallen.
"How much NM technology are you using?" Zhang Yang asked again.
"Only 45NM technology can be used. If you use 65NM, it will be very large and no longer suitable for small products. I know that 45NM technology is not mature enough and the production cost has not come down, but will it be good in the future, right? ?"
"And we have not cooperated with Treasure Island to develop 32NM technology, and I heard that Huaxin International will also transform a 45NM production line, which can reduce our production costs."
Although the smaller the size, the lower the production cost, but it is not the same as the cost of technological research and development and the cost of transformation of the production line.
This year Dongzhi is going to invest in a brand new 45NM production line, the cost of which has been announced to the outside world, reaching as high as $6.5 billion. The production line of Treasure Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was transformed, and the required capital has reached 3 billion US dollars.
Therefore, it is said that there is no money, and it is really impossible to turn to wafer companies. This is also the reason why Zhiduoxing's investment in Huaxin International was ridiculed by many semiconductor manufacturers. They think that Zhiduoxing's money is not enough and the technology is not good.
Now Huaxin International has developed, and has also participated in the 45NM technology research and development. It has cooperated with Chaowei Eagle Weida and has cooperated with Treasure Island.
And the three parties are also cooperating in the research and development of 32NM technology. Samsung is also involved in this time. I heard that IBM and Intel are also cooperating in the development of 32NM technology. Those two companies also have 45NM technology.
However, compared with international semiconductor giants, Huaxin International is still second-rate, not only technically backward, but also underfunded.
Fortunately, Huaxin International is going to be listed this year. It will raise a large amount of funds for the construction of a new production line. It is expected that the construction of a brand-new production line will not be a problem.
After all, Huaxin International has a vast market in China, with a background, and no shortage of orders. It is very optimistic.
"Zhengfu, you don't have to think about these, concentrate on making technical breakthroughs. We will solve some of the problems we just mentioned and complete them as soon as possible, and complete the APU test as soon as possible, and find ways to upgrade it."
"You can hand over Lisa to Lisa. Lisa, can you do this job right?"
Lisa Su nodded quickly: "I promise, I will allow many PC manufacturers to accept our products in the shortest time, but I think this is also applicable to TV game consoles. Can I contact the other three manufacturers except Zhiduoxing? "
If there is less support from three vendors, the number of orders will definitely be reduced a lot. But in this way, Zhiduoxing lacked the advantages in hardware. Can Zhang Dong agree?
"Yes, this is no problem. But I hope that all the latest technological breakthroughs will be the first to inform me. The Zhiduoxing Group will definitely purchase the total number of them in the next few years, and even more."
Lisa Su believes that Zhang Yang is confident that he will maintain a 50% market share on the next-generation game consoles, but does not know that Zhang Yang is talking about a tablet computer that is about to be launched.
For at least two years, G3 will not do any upgrades, except to expand the hard drive capacity, the other will not change. When G3MINI, the chipset with the new technology will naturally be smaller because of the improvement of semiconductor technology. Previously, Zhiduoxing G3 used 90NM technology, but now it uses 45NM. It may even be ~EbookFREE.me~ The volume will be reduced and the energy consumption will be reduced.
And G3MINI will not necessarily use APU, so in the next two years, Zhiduoxing will use APU products, that is, tablet computers.
This was a concept that existed in the 1990s, but it has not been successful. Microsoft has done it a few years ago, and it is also on the street.
The previous life was done by Apple, and other companies joined it, which eventually became a controversy. But in this life, Zhiduoxing will be the leader.
In a place that no one else can think of, making a product that is welcomed by the market, monopolizing this market, will inevitably be able to obtain extremely high profits, which will make Zhiduoxing Group go further and make his net worth go further.
"By the way, everybody is working hard, Zhengsuke, you make a report, apply for a bonus, send it to the R&D staff, and I will sign it. Some people who have stopped the vacation before can also make up the leave, the head office side , Let me tell you this good news."
