Chapter 420: Star computing first generation machine launched!

Luo Jia's idea immediately aroused everyone's strong interest. One of the reasons why two types of memory chips coexist in today's computers is speed, the hard disk is slow, and the memory is fast, so the hard disk data needs to be loaded into the memory in advance. Then a direct connection is established from the memory to the CPU.
The price problem is like the relationship between Lamborghini and big trucks. Although Lamborghini is fast, it is expensive, but big trucks are slow, but the price is low. Everyone likes large hard disks. After all, the larger the hard disk, the more it can be loaded. Games and mini movies.
A 100TB ultra-fast hard drive can be technically done, but who wants to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a hard drive? There is so much money, and what little movies do I watch? I have already practiced with the ladies and sisters on the spot.
In short, the reasons are various. The end result is that there are two distinct memory chips inside the computer, causing unnecessary trouble.
After thinking for a while, Enron said: "If we do, we must not only strengthen the speed, but also increase fault tolerance and addressing capabilities, increase the cache interval, and establish new rules for direct storage and CPU connection. In short, if we really If it is done, it will make sense. "
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
The members of the brainstorming group expressed their opinions, and the head of the semiconductor design department, Fang Yuan, said, "I also agreed to start the development of the next generation of memory chips. After all, we all know that the future computer will be highly integrated. At the same time, The calculation unit, logic unit, storage unit, graphics unit, etc. are all placed inside a chip to achieve simplicity and power. The ultimate goal of this computing field. "
"The only problem is that the higher the integration, the more difficult it is to develop. I don't know if I can keep up with the autumn offensive."
The semiconductor technology of Xingchen Technology is very advanced. The first-generation technology has reached the amazing 0.1 nanometer. The lower process means that the finished chip is very small, and the power consumption and heat generation are very low.
As long as more work is done on the design, it is possible to store the memory, CPU, graphics card, etc. in a chip smaller than the size of a fingernail. This process is called super integration.
Imagine that in the future, high-performance desktops will be plugged into small mobile phones, and using mobile phones to run top 3A masterpieces, it will be a great deal.
However, the long-term vision is a reality, but the reality is very troublesome. Before that, Xingchen Technology did a fully integrated CPU that integrated memory, flash memory, and graphics cards. However, the performance of that product was relatively low, the yield was low, and the cost was high. High.
The reason for this trouble is very simple, because the technical difficulty caused by the CPU plus storage is one plus one equal to three, plus the graphics card, it is equal to six. The more integrated functions, the design difficulty will be geometric Multiple growth.
Luo Jia thought for a moment and Shen said: "Don't wait. The autumn offensive starts on time. The new generation of storage will be the focus of research and development. It will be handed over to the semiconductor center for technical research. The autumn offensive cannot catch up. Spring offensive. "
"In short, the semiconductor industry, we have to decide!"
...
Luo Jia's strategy of establishing a large-scale supply chain and partner groups finally received a return from September 1st, one week before the start of school. Products using the Star series CPU were officially launched.
At one time, several new product launch conferences were launched simultaneously on the ground of Huaxia. Luo Jiawan rejected Huawei's invitation to head to Xiaomi Group's headquarters in Beijing to build momentum for General Lei's propaganda.
The reason why Luo Jia did this was not because he had a bad relationship with Huawei. On the contrary, it was because the relationship was too good. Even if Luo Jia did not attend, Huawei fully understood it.
This huge product line is Huawei's strongest combat force, so Luo Jia hopes to help Mr. Lei, who is in trouble at the moment.
The press conference went very smoothly. Mr. Lei chose the location in the Forbidden City. He was gimmicky and eye-catching. In addition, Luo Jia, a special guest of heavy weight, took a 30-minute impromptu speech, which attracted countless lights throughout the country. Whether it's audience interaction or the number of people watching live broadcasts, it has reached a record high.
At this press conference, Xiaomi launched four notebook products based on the Star CPU in one breath, aimed at freshmen who are about to start school.
Freshmen and parents across the country are already looking forward to a whole summer vacation, waiting for computers with domestic CPUs to be listed on the market, and then buying and buying.
"Youth version sells for 2,999 yuan!"
"The standard version is priced at 3,999 yuan!"
Mr. Lei was thrilled and announced the price of the new generation of Xiaomi notebooks in his very poor Mandarin. Unsurprisingly, the price was quite low. The products listed during the same period were Huawei, Razer, Tongfang, Ziguang, Hisense, Shenzhou, etc. Wait, among them, the prices of Xiaomi and Shenzhou both hit below three thousand, and the most expensive one is Huawei, which starts at as high as five thousand five hundred yuan, and the hanging is the deputy factory glory mark.
In the final analysis, Lei always does business, not charity. The 2,999-yuan notebook also sends a bunch of messy things, which looks affordable. In fact, the quality is really average. The idea of ​​a penny for a dollar.
But on the other hand, for less than three thousand yuan, you can have a computer with a Star CPU installed, which greatly reduces the threshold for consumers to buy, and it is by no means a bad thing.
In all fairness, there is no problem with Xiaomi's low price strategy, and the company is absolutely united to fight tough battles. What Luo Jia is really worried about is Mr. Lei.
At that time, Xiaomi's mobile phone in India was in full swing and suppressed the Samsung Group stiffly. On one occasion, Lei always went to India for a business trip. The plane landed at 3 am, and there were talks with India at 10 am. The time was very urgent.
According to the logic of normal managers, you should immediately find a hotel to stay, let everyone take time to sleep for two hours, bathe and change clothes for breakfast, in the fullest spirit, to welcome business negotiations after a few hours.
However, Mr. Lei always took everyone to the KFC at the airport and said that it was not worth opening the house for these hours. Everyone had something to eat at KFC. When they were tired, they lay down on the table for a while, and then went to the venue at dawn.
Therefore, for those who can become big entrepreneurs, IQ is definitely superior, and the ultimate achievement can only be determined by one person.
"A computer with a domestic CPU, I buy it!"
"Xingchen Technology is awesome! In my lifetime, I finally used domestic CPU!"
"It's still the Star system installed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I heard that professionals use this, much more powerful than Windows."
The barrage refreshed, and on all major shopping platforms, computer products with Star CPUs were snapped up in just a few minutes. The major supply chain companies and assembly factories opened their horsepower 24 hours a day. It still cannot satisfy everyone's crazy buying enthusiasm.
"I said, except for the Star CPU in the new computer, who owns the memory?"
"I heard that Samsung and Hynix use memory, and Micron and Toshiba use hard drives."
"What the hell, isn't this still an import?"
"Don't worry, we have to eat bite-by-bit. Xingchen Technology has only been engaged in semiconductors for a few days, and it has continuously solved the major problems of lithography machines and CPUs. Besides, the bridge chip is also made in China, and the communication chip is from Huawei Hisilicon. , The localization rate of this system is already great! "
"On the contrary, semiconductors are not a joke. North America is strong. You can let North America build a computer by themselves, and they can't make it! Many things need to be imported from abroad!"
Perhaps it is too hopeful to have a completely independent semiconductor industry. For the first generation of star-architecture computers, a large number of imported chips are still used, and netizens are still anxious.
But it is certainly not the Chinese users who are most anxious to get angry. With the large-scale listing of the first generation of star computing in the last week of August, the other side of the Pacific Ocean was completely shaken.
