Chapter 449: The 32-Bit Era

Not to mention how entangled the old guys are, but in a new environment, William White's quality of life has improved a lot. It is really needless to say how extravagant it is to use both floors for him alone.

"Boss, this is Intel's latest CPU80486." Tom didn't care when he saw the boss sunbathing. After all, they have been with the boss for a long time, and they know that the boss is actually quite kind.

"Tsk, are you an engineering piece? When are you going to release it?"

"This year is definitely not going to work. It is estimated that early next year, their current 386 is beaten by Motorola. If there is no new product, it is estimated that it will hit the street." Tom didn't actually say, if you don't develop a follow-up CPU, Intel Maybe hang up.

"Tom, if you are like this, inform the meeting that we are about to usher in the 32-bit era."

The birth of 486 can be regarded as a landmark event. Before that, DOS and DOS-based software were widely used in computers. With this CPU, Microsoft can be regarded as flying wings.

"Everyone, this CPU contains 1.2 million transistors. Although the main structure has not changed much, it is disappointing, but there is no doubt that it will greatly improve the computing power of personal PCs." William White's words naturally aroused To attract the interest of the participants, the 386 has less than 300,000 transistors. This upgrade will naturally greatly increase the computing power.

"Haha, I think, if Jobs was here, he would definitely vomit blood. A CPU suitable for the Macintosh appeared. It's just a pity that Apple has already gone into decline."

In fact, God Qiao is making complaints about it. Damn, don’t bring such a bully. Are you a toothpaste factory? If only this thing came out sooner.

And damn William White, this guy should be capable of research and development, but he really went to develop some accelerator card, which is simply not doing his job properly.

Affected by the price of memory and many factors, White Systems' 3D accelerator card project was aborted and replaced by the so-called 2.5D.

William White is very clear that your two megabytes of memory can only handle these things. If you want to use a 3D engine, not having eight megabytes is vain.

It's not impossible to force development, but the problem is that your customer base is too small.

"Everyone, 2.5D is just an alternative product. Our memory factory is progressing very fast. By this time next year, I promise, we can use our own memory."

Of course, the subordinates know this meaning, and if they control the source, they will naturally prevent the price of memory from getting out of control.

"Boss, it seems that the only bottleneck is the hard disk."

The corners of William White's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, "If anti-monopoly is really useful, let's say this blue giant, it should be broken down into parts. He obviously mastered the core technology, but he just didn't want to take it out. However, you don't have to worry, Seagate seems to have made a breakthrough, and now I am looking forward to Andy Grove's expression."

When the subordinates heard it, they naturally understood that there was something to be done. In this way, their office software did not need to consider the capacity all day long.

After the meeting, the White system significantly accelerated the progress. When developing this thing, the biggest worry is the problem of direction.

Of course it won’t work if it falls behind, it’s rubbish if it’s produced, and it’s nothing if it’s too advanced, just like the second-generation voodoo 3D accelerator card. 16 megabytes of memory is very enjoyable, the price is more than 500 US dollars, you can sell it to ghosts.

Well, luck is good, the price of memory crashes, if not, this company will be completely offline.

Of course, there are sequelae. Since then, they have become an ordinary company, and they have never forged ahead. Because shareholders don't like risk.

As for why William White is not afraid?

Hehe, what he is aiming at is not a personal PC yet. Those graphics workstations don't care about a few hundred dollars more.

"By the way, Tom, does Intel have a second supplier this time?"

"Boss, they have abandoned dynamic memory, and their own production capacity is still insufficient, so it is impossible to make AMD cheaper. They are still negotiating, and there is a possibility of going to court."

"Haha, this time, let's see if anyone still talks about government procurement. These bastards are all habitual. If you like to buy, buy or not, get out."

Using the possible flaws in the quality of his products as an excuse, William White is also a pioneer. What makes some government agencies extremely entangled is that you can't do it if you don't buy it.

In fact, this so-called second supplier has already existed in name only. If your White system does this, there will naturally be others to follow suit.

What William White said is very straightforward, why should I spend so much money to develop something cheaper than other bastards? Not only will I not let others produce it, but I will also set up a bunch of patent barriers. .

William White's remarks are highly recognized by the IT industry, and your group of politicians sitting in the office know a hammer.

Someone said, you cooperated with Mao and the foot basin, didn't all the eight-bit processors be given to the foot basin?

Hehe, you can see clearly, both Micron and Lianhua are processing companies, so you don’t understand what a processing company is? It is a company without research and development capabilities, I will not train competitors for myself, this is the whole reason.

Well, this reason is very strong, so strong that those politicians are speechless. Or, they dare not say that William White is too venomous and likes to label people. Isn't the Ministry of Justice responsible for bringing down the game industry in the United States? How long has it been, and the American game industry is still dead.

Entering the 32-bit era, PCs are not the only things that have changed. ADSL will not be boring and can only make video calls. The computing speed is faster, the hard disk space is larger, and the data to be transmitted is naturally larger. William White's wallet can naturally contain a lot of benefits.

What William White didn't expect was that the digital mobile communication hadn't come to fruition yet, but ADSL had already entered the operation process. Obviously, Lao Mei is not going to be reasonable, you bastards, if you don't want to follow up, then it's up to you.

For William White, this is naturally good news. Patents are naturally not for sale, 5% of the shares, don't talk about it if it is less, buddies use it internally in the company.

"Felson, will the government fund the research and development of digital mobile communications? Have they reached an agreement?"

Felson smiled wryly. The guy in the position is a lame duck. Naturally, there is no way to approve such a huge plan. You know, the deficit this year has already exceeded 600 billion. He doesn't want to hand over a mess to Bushu.

"Boss, there is no chance this year. We have to wait for the new boss to come to power. A deficit of 700 billion is a record."

"Actually, this group of people are prodigal sons. I don't know why they spend money to advertise American cars. Since people like to buy American cars, just keep buying them. You can give some tax breaks, or some free gasoline. It's definitely better."

Those who still insist on buying American cars now are definitely true fans. Why do you still advertise, and those advertisers are cheap for nothing.
