Chapter 201 Please Do What You Say

() Of course Xiao Qi knows that even in 2013, arm and imaginary technology are basically not in the same pot, especially in the cooperation of high-definition technology, basically only Apple is an exception, this is still Apple's own It was the identity of arm shareholders that finally succeeded.

Oh, I forgot to mention the relationship between cpu and gpu,

The cpu is the central processor, which is equivalent to the brain of a computer or mobile phone, and is the core of computing and control.

The gpu is a graphics processor, which controls the various screens of the computer or mobile phone. If the gpu is better, the screen will be smoother and the quality will be clearer. For example, when watching movies and playing games, the screen will be smooth and not stuck. , is an important criterion for testing whether a computer or mobile phone is of high quality.

In a computer or mobile phone, both the zhongyang processor and the graphics processor are indispensable. In comparison, in a large computer, the zhongyang processor plays a greater role, and the requirements for the graphics processor are not too strict. .

But it’s different when you switch to a mobile phone or a tablet computer, because their display screens are much smaller than those of a computer, and all kinds of pictures and image quality will be compressed severely. In this case, if you want to watch a movie 1. To play games, you must have the best graphics processor. Under this top-notch requirement, imagine that the GPU of a technology company can become as important as the CPU.

right.

You read that right, it's just as important, no matter how high the gpu is, it's absolutely impossible to be more important than the cpu.

But it is a very honorable thing to be as important as the brain.

If you want a tablet with such a large screen size, with exquisite pictures and animation effects, you must have the best GPU, because it is not only the patent of the Chinese to pay attention to the appearance. Foreigners are also irresistible to beautiful electronic products.

Really good things have always been recognized by the cultural concepts of the East and the West. For example, iphone and ipad, with their outstanding functions and dazzling appearance, it is difficult to find out who doesn’t like them—as for Samsung, Nokia , Motorola, etc. have also produced smart phones. After comparisons, some people gradually feel that the iphone and ipad are not good enough.

For Carlos' refusal, Xiao Qi was not worried at all.

Since Joe can do it. Xiao Qi has two lifetimes of experience as a human being. It can definitely be done.

"You mean, arm is not willing to load imaginary technology's gpu on your cpu?" Xiao Qi looked at Carlos in surprise, "so arm is such a company with no business ethics? When you fought against inter, didn't you say that you The chips can be used by customers as they please, will you do everything you can to satisfy customers?"

At the beginning, arm was beaten by Inter. If it hadn't been ruthless and completely released its source code for others to use, I am afraid that they would be thrown into the trash can of history just like other companies that were crushed by Inter.

After so many years, the people of arm have long been proud of their decision. I feel that the act of breaking the boat at the beginning could not have been better, otherwise it would not be what it is today.

It is precisely because of this that arm attaches great importance to its own promises, and will never change them unless it is absolutely necessary, so as not to be unable to be a human being after spreading the word.

A few words from Xiao Qi made Carlos speechless, if he dared to say that he was determined not to use the gpu of the imagining technology company, he would have to pack up and leave tomorrow.

But Carlos also knows the group of people in the company. The arrogance and arrogance of Imagination Technology is extremely hated, and I want them to make major structural changes to the gpu of Imagination Technology. I'm afraid it's not easy.

By the way, the gpu of Imagine Technology does not sell technology, only sells finished products, or it can also accept commissions to make finished products, and it will not refuse what customers use.

So in fact the main obstacle. Even in arm, when Apple entrusted Imagination Technology to make GPUs, it was far smoother than persuading arm.

"I calculated it, if according to my conditions..." Xiao Qi handed over the technical specifications he had written, "The authorization fee you charge is about 8 million US dollars. If you can make the microprocessor I want in two months, I can give you 10 million dollars! And I guarantee that the chip will be produced in more than 30 million pieces!"

"hiss……"

Carlos was stimulated by the number Xiao Qi said, and stood up suddenly, "Mr. Xiao wait a moment, I'll report it!"

...

Ten minutes later, in the office on the other side, four important people from the New York branch of arm gathered.

The bald one is Fischer, the deputy general manager of the company, Carlos is sitting next to him, the other standing is the chief technical consultant Passy, ​​and the general manager Rediro is sitting on the boss chair.

Except for Carlos, whose role is slightly lower, the other three people can be called the soul of arm US company, no less than those in Silicon Valley.

The three of Lei Diluo are looking at Xiao Qi's architectural requirements. Most of the staff of arm are technicians and are very professional, so Lei Di Luo and Fisher can also understand Xiao Qi's idea.

Of course, the main character is Passy wearing glasses. He is already leaning over the table, holding a pen, writing and drawing on white paper, frowning from time to time.

"Where did this young man come from? From MIT? Or from Harvard?" Fisher also smiled wryly, and put down the data copy paper in his hand, "The requirements are really demanding, which can be called the most we have seen in recent years." The most rigorous and high-tech microprocessor chip ever."

"That's right." Rediro also nodded, "If he wasn't from Huaguo, I really thought he was a resigned employee within our arm. With such a targeted combination and arrangement, how can we arrange for him without more than ten years of experience in electronic chips?" Is it so appropriate? Look at his requirements for 32-bit imported data, if the main frequency does not reach above 250mips, it will not be driven at all.”

Passy, ​​a technical madman, simply ignored what the two said, and continued with his combination theory conjecture.

Carlos replied ponderingly: "The passport he presented is from China, he is only 18 years old this year, and this is his first time in the United States... But hell, this guy's American English is so proficient, it is almost as good as Americans want Americans...and when he negotiates, his demeanor is very calm, just like a person in his 30s or 40s... All in all, I think he is a strange genius!"

"it is good!!"

Before Rediro could speak, Passy over there slammed the table and cried out suddenly.
