Chapter 1016: What if Intel's Dual-Core Processor Can't Be Pushed Out?
To talk about the development history of CPU dual-core.
As early as many years ago, IBM introduced dual-core CPU.
However, the dual-core CPU introduced by IBM at that time was too expensive, and most people could not afford it.
And at that time, such a CPU was for the server level, and ordinary people could not use it.
So by 2006, there was not much news and information about dual-core processors on the market.
However, as the overlord in the processor, Intel released a dual-core processor, but it was earth-shattering.
This news not only shocked the entire industry, but also shocked Chen Yu.
What shocked Chen Yu was not that the dual cores were not dual cores.
With the vision of decades in the previous life, let alone dual-core, quad-core, eight-core, 32-core... Chen Yu has all experienced it.
The reason why Chen Yu felt wrong was the influence of Intel's dual-core on Vista.
After all, why does Vista fail.
In addition to a series of incompatibilities, the same hardware is also a reason that cannot be ignored.
It can even be said that he is one of the most important reasons.
If all computers are already dual-core at this time, will Vista still be out of the way?
Chen Yu couldn't answer this question.
But he has a hunch that if Intel and Microsoft reach close cooperation in hardware, Vista may not fail.
This gave Chen Yu a big red flag.
As a party, facing the sudden appearance of the dual core, Chen Yu was a little restless.
"Brother Jian, call Dean, Kai Fu, Zhang Rujing, He Tingbo, Lin Benjian... all to the headquarters."
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Chen Yu immediately told Zhang Jianming.
Intel's dual-core processor affects not only Vista, but also Huanyu Technology's processor business and semiconductor foundry business.
Immediately, Chen Yu called over all the persons in charge of the semiconductor business of Universal Technology.
"Tingbo, you are in charge of chip design. Is it difficult for the dual-core processor technology?"
"It's not difficult in theory, it's just integrating two computing cores on one processor."
"Then how much does he promote the main frequency?"
"Very big."
He Tingbo explained: "With the development of chip technology, some of them have actually reached the bottle shank. This is related to the chip manufacturing process. At present, the mainstream lithography machines in the world cannot achieve the process below 60 nanometers."
Having said that, Chen Yu looked at Lin Benjian.
Lin Benjian also said: "Mr. Chen, our wet lithography technology is being fully developed, and there have been some breakthroughs. If everything is normal, our wet lithography process can break through the 60-nanometer process, or even reach below 10 nanometers. However, for the time being, our process is still under research, and I expect it will take another year to two years for our wet lithography process to fully mature."
After finishing speaking, Lin Benjian continued: "If the chip manufacturing process cannot break below 60 nanometers, Intel can only use dual-core processors to increase the main frequency. However, it depends on the market's acceptance."
"Kaifu, you have stayed at Microsoft, do you think Microsoft's Vista and Intel's dual-core processors have reached a strategic agreement this time?"
"Mr. Chen, Microsoft and Intel have always been strategic partners, and they are the most solid strategic partners in the world. They deeply know that both are prosperous and both are lost. Therefore, when Vista is released, Intel will definitely Help out. This dual-core processor, I think he has a huge impetus to improve the performance of Vista.”
After Li Kaifu finished speaking, Zhang Rujing, who was in charge of Center International, also said: "Intel's dual-core processor may be handed over to TSMC for foundry this time. If the dual-core processor is successfully promoted, we will lag behind in foundry technology. their generation."
Zhang Rujing's words were extremely heavy.
Originally, Center International was 2-3 generations behind TSMC, and it was quite difficult to catch up with TSMC.
This time the dual-core burst, and it is a generation behind, to catch up with TSMC, I really don't know the year of the monkey.
"Actually, you don't need to be discouraged. Compared with the time when we had nothing, now it has opened up a great situation for the first time."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Dean Li Biqing said with a smile.
"The dean is right, I just said nonsense."
Zhang Rujing said apologetically: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, no matter how big the gap with TSMC is, we will never give up."
"So are we."
He Tingbo and Lin Benjian also nodded.
"it is good."
A group of people in charge expressed their opinions, and Chen Yu also had a bottom line: "High-rise buildings cannot be built in a day. As long as everyone works together, we can do nothing. However, Intel's dual-core processor is indeed a trouble, everyone has There is no solution? For example, to prevent the introduction of Intel's dual-core processors."
This said, everyone was astonished.
"Prevent the introduction of Intel dual-core processors?"
"how can that be?"
Several responsible persons looked at each other and shook their heads inwardly.
Processors are developed by Intel, what else can you stop them from releasing?
However, Zhang Jianming doesn't think so: "I think there are still some ways."
"Oh, brother Jian, what can you do?"
"The domestic side should be able to take some measures."
Zhang Jianming thought for a while and said: "Intel wants to launch its dual-core processor, it needs the support of a group of computer manufacturers. Our Huanyu Technology already owns Huanyu, Shenzhou, Tsinghua Tongfang, Fangzheng and other brands in the domestic PC segment. Acer maintains cooperation. At a critical moment, the top may also exert pressure on Lenovo. However, in foreign markets, we estimate that there is nothing to do.”
As the general manager of Universal Science and Technology, Zhang Jianming's ability to coordinate the overall situation is getting stronger and stronger.
This, Chen Yu is also very pleased.
"Brother Jian, it's not bad, the consideration is comprehensive enough."
Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, don't laugh at me. However, this is not safe at all. Although we can take certain measures in China, it also depends on the acceptance of dual-core processors in the market. If the market is fully opened , fully accept the dual-core processor, even if we want to not accept them, we will not be able to do so.”
The world is one, not if you don't want to accept it.
For example, a series of computer brands controlled by Universal Technology, if other series of computers are installed with dual-core processors, yours is not installed.
How will consumers choose?
Even if you don't want to use Intel's dual-core processor, you're forced to.
If you just don't want to use it, then you will not only be unable to stop the promotion of Intel's dual-core processors, but will also give up your computer business.
So sometimes, why did a series of domestic mobile phone companies use American chips in the previous life.
It's not that they don't want to use domestic chips.
One is that there is no chip in China, and the other is not as advanced as they are.
As for Huawei's chips, they can only be used by themselves.
At this time, what do you ask them to do?
Does the dead bar use junk chips in the end?
It seems to have a backbone, but at the same time as it has a backbone, that is, your phone brand disappears from the public eye.
That's not all.
What makes you even more disgusting is that if you disappear, foreign brands will be robbed by Chinese people again.
At that time, you will see that all mobile phones in the country will be the moment when foreign brands will dominate the arena.
"Brother Jian, what you said is wrong."
Although Chen Yu can't stop Intel from releasing chips, some other actions can still be done.
for example.
Chen Yu said: "What does market acceptance depend on? Generally speaking, it depends on sales, so what did it depend on when it was just promoted in the early stage? Product performance? This is one reason, but I think it depends more on public opinion. Publicity and promotion. If we kill Intel's dual-core in public opinion, will consumers still be interested in dual-core processors?"
This said, everyone remembered.
In terms of public opinion, Huanyu Technology also has a huge market share abroad.
Friends.com, Huanyu Video... These two are well-known public opinion positions.
Although they are not sure whether Huanyu Technology can completely suppress Intel's dual-core in public opinion.
But that's okay.
As long as their dual-core processors are delayed by a year or two, then this is another situation entirely.
