Chapter 2283: Multimedia instruction set

After the meeting was over, Qin Guan inspected the company again.
Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd., the first priority is still the production of chips, the research and development of the world’s most advanced central processing unit chips, and other auxiliary chips. As for the production of various motherboards, there are already several other manufacturers in Huating. The entire Huating has become an electronic industry base in Han.
"Now, our Hanxin No. 4 chip has begun to enter the initial production stage. This chip uses our latest 0.13 micron process technology with a main frequency of 2GHZ. Moreover, according to your arrangement, this chip, There is also a version that integrates two cores."
Now, for its own chip research and development, it is no longer necessary for Qin Guan to search for data from the data cemetery. Han is the smartest nation in the world. What they lack is just an opportunity. Now, Qin Guan has brought them along. On the right track, they will follow this path with firm steps.
It is not necessary for the chip to continue to develop to a high frequency. You must know that after entering GHZ, except for those programs that require complex calculations that require high frequency, the demand for the CPU is not large, which means , The higher frequency is actually a waste. On the contrary, there are more and more requirements for multi-tasking, which has a demand for multiple CPUs. Our own two core products are very correct. In the future, Not only must there be two cores, but there will also be four or six core products. This development direction is obviously better.
"Well, yes, our software department will also develop some CPU-consuming applications." Qin Guan said: "In addition to industrial computer design, we can also develop more games."
Our computer operating system is quite streamlined. Even in the era of Hanxin-1, it can run the latest version of the system perfectly. However, if we do not develop some hardware-consuming applications, how can the hardware develop?
Qin Guan pointed out a path, and that is the game!
"This, we are already doing it." Ni Gong said to Qin Guan: "You see, this game was made by the team led by Jobs."
With that, he started a computer on the side, double-clicked the icon on the desktop, and suddenly, the game loading interface appeared. When entering the game, a person holding a gun appeared. It seemed that it belonged to It is a shooting game.
Shooting games used to be a well-known type of stand-alone game. In fact, it doesn't make much sense to play with a computer alone. You have to play with others and interact.
Then, the screen finally entered, and a selection interface appeared inside. When you first enter, you can choose your own equipment type, pistol, grenade, rifle, or even just a dagger.
However, looking at the lines above, Qin Guan immediately shook his head: "It seems that the performance of our graphics card is not enough. We need to invest more resources and more manpower in the R&D department of the graphics card. A more advanced display chip, such a picture, is too rough."
The screen is composed of dots, dots form lines, and lines form surfaces. If the performance of the graphics card is insufficient, it will not be able to draw each line finely, and it will not be able to form beautiful graphics. This game is too rough Up!
Hearing what Qin Guan said, Mr. Ni thought for a while, and then said, "Mr. Qin, we have done our best. After all, the computing of our graphics card is already at the same level as the CPU."
The development of graphics cards is not slow, but there is still a big gap in the picture. What is going on? Qin Guan suddenly thought of something: "This is because of the lack of specialized multimedia and 3D instruction sets!"
For a CPU, or the GPU of a graphics card, the executed program is finally compiled into a series of instructions. The instructions are divided into two parts. The front is the instruction and the back is the data. Now with the development of technology, it needs to be executed. There are more and more actions, especially a large number of multimedia-related operations. If there is no special instruction set, it can only use the previous instructions to perform a large number of calculations, and then you can get the desired result. With a dedicated instruction set, efficiency can be greatly improved!
"Yes, Mr. Qin, what you said is too right." Ni Gong also reacted. He is limited to the previous framework, why not build more instruction sets?
In the past, I only used the X86 basic instruction set, which was mainly used to process some basic data operations. With the continuous development of multimedia, more and more instruction sets are needed, especially if the screen has a 3D effect. , Then a special instruction set is needed!
We should have thought of this long ago.
This requires the joint communication between the software and hardware departments, especially the game department. Now, because Jobs and Lisa are in the Eagle Country all the year round, the communication is not smooth. In this way, I did not expect that what I actually need is an instruction set.
We have created some special instruction sets, which can greatly improve the computing efficiency and make the screen more beautiful. At the same time, on the other hand, it can also make the opponent unable to surpass.
Because the instruction set needs to be authorized. At that time, because of the X86 instruction set, we had a lot of battles with Intel, and it was finally resolved. Now, our side is already at the forefront. If we release these instruction sets, our opponents will be even more serious. If you can’t follow, obey your side obediently, and give them authorization. If you don’t obey and don’t authorize, then they will not be able to develop.
This is an advantage of leading the market. It has the complete right to speak, and its own dominates.
The chasers behind will never catch up. When they get the authorization of these instruction sets and start to launch similar products, they have already issued a new instruction set.
"In this way, we can make our pictures more beautiful." Qin Guan said: "For gamers, they prefer realism. In fact, in addition to these games, there are some very simple games that can also make people like them very much. Yes, for example, the simplest way to grow a dish and steal a dish can attract a lot of people. Interactive games also have a big market."
Back then, the stealing was so popular, Qin Guan is still fresh in his memory. He didn't dare to steal things in the real world, and he could indulge himself on the Internet.
In addition to chip manufacturing, Han's greater achievement is the lithography machine. The machinery industry for these chip manufacturing has developed. Its own 0.18 micron lithography machine has been sold at a high price, and its own has also made progress. It's 0.13 microns, and it's marching toward 90 nanometers.
