Chapter 319 Titan Processor

Investment is not a simple act. There are many ways to convert money or other factors into capital.

For example, in the R&D funds of investment projects, the salary and bonus of R&D personnel are also included in the funds, and the large and problematic expenditures for purchasing equipment and materials are also included.

For example, when this project is put into production, the construction of factory buildings, the purchase of production line equipment, maintenance, personnel needs, etc. are all spent on investment.

Another example.

On December 1, Beijing North Technology Group Co., Ltd. issued an announcement that it plans to invest 10 billion yuan in the construction of a new generation of OLED screen panel display device production line.

This investment is so large that the stocks of the industry sector have been shaken.

The reporter went to interview and investigate after hearing the news, and only after digging deep did he figure out the specific situation.

Beijing North said that in recent years, with the continuous development of the entertainment industry chain, the entertainment equipment and display panel industries are about to usher in an explosive period. At the same time, customers have increasingly higher requirements for product specifications such as size, brightness, refresh rate, and power consumption. OLED micro-display device production lines with higher processes have become an inevitable trend. In order to meet the needs of the high-end market and enhance the competitiveness of the project company, it is planned to invest 10 billion yuan in the construction of high-end product production lines.

The most explosive news is that Director Liu of Beijing North said that the technology and equipment authorized supplier for this large-scale investment is Jiuzhou Technology.

When the news interview came out that day, Jiuzhou Technology also responded positively, saying that it was indeed communicating and negotiating with domestic display industry manufacturers to strive to bring more advanced and safer OLED screens to users.

Shark people also want pig hearts?

On that day, Beijing North’s stock led the rise of five points, driving Daxia display panel industry companies to gain a wave of dividends.

And Gaoli Hanxing fell another two points the next day.

When Tianwei Electronics, Huaxing Electronics and other companies saw this situation, they immediately said: "We are all family. Talking about money hurts feelings. We agree with the number your company said before!"

Dong Qi, Li You and others finally ended their many days of socializing and returned to the headquarters to rest for a while.

Gu Qing looked at the additional numbers in the account and squinted his eyes.

"The food and grass are almost enough. In this battle, it is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage, rather than seek fame and imitate the tyrant."

Just after returning home and experiencing two days of happy family reunion, Li You, as the head of the semiconductor department, received another meeting message reminder.

Small Jiuzhou Technology, big strategic goal.

"Metaverse?"

Everyone was surprised.

"Yes and no."

Gu Qing waved his hand, and the PPT content on the conference screen changed once.

"This is a concept that has been hyped recently, and it does not refer to a specific application or product.

Most of the concepts hyped by Internet manufacturers now are similar to the game world, but the actual metaverse can be seen as a 3D virtual space based on the Internet with link perception and sharing characteristics, which is a physical reality enhanced by virtual reality and presents convergence and physical persistence.

In other words, these Internet companies are all painting big cakes, and the current VR/AR cannot support the real implementation of this concept at all.

Of course, this concept is mentioned because today's meeting is related to it. Next, please take a look at what our semiconductor R&D department and Titanium Tantalum Star R&D department have been working on for some time. Project.

Titan processor, it is a product that integrates the functions of CPU and GPU. The two most important processors on the computer are integrated, complement each other and maximize performance.

Of course, it has been a backward project called APU in recent years. After all, Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA have been cooperating and monopolizing in their respective fields in recent years. APU, a project that has not made much money since its release, has long been ignored.

However, our R&D team still conquered it. After all, the technology required for the next stage of bionic mechanical prostheses cannot be supported by a single CPU and GPU.

The most important of these is the architecture design and foundry manufacturing cost issues.

The current computer CP The biggest reason why U and GPU are so different, in addition to profitability, is due to their different design goals. They are aimed at two different application scenarios.

CPU is the central processing unit. It needs strong versatility to handle various data types in the computer. At the same time, logical judgment will introduce a large number of branch jumps and interrupt processing. All these make the internal structure of the CPU extremely complex.

So in addition to the storage inside the CPU, there are also complex control logic and many optimization circuits. In comparison, computing power is only a small part of the CPU.

GPU is a graphics processing unit. It needs to face highly unified types and independent of each other at work. Large-scale data and a pure computing environment that does not need to be interrupted, such as calculating game models, running 3D modeling, and mining that consumes a lot of computing power but has no actual output.

Therefore, GPU uses a large number of computing units and a very long pipeline, but only very simple control logic.

In addition to the conventional central processing unit and image processor, the Titan processor we are currently developing also adds a Neboru processor, and the three processors coexist harmoniously at three levels.

The CPU is responsible for logical operations, the GPU is responsible for a large amount of computing program data, and the Neboru processor is responsible for coordinating data and converting brain wave information that we cannot see. "

As soon as these words came out, the conference room was instantly quiet.

There were not many arguments. The executives who were not involved in this R&D project were all digesting the knowledge points that Gu Qing had just explained with their brains running fast.

Everyone knows about CPU/GPU, but when it comes to brain waves. Then think of the previous metaverse.

A concept that makes them red-eyed, heartbeating, and breathing rapid is generated in their minds.

Hiss...

It's really so terrifying. Has our company suddenly changed from a technology company to a science fiction company?

Everyone dared not speak loudly, but their eyes were focused on Gu Qing, with expectations and flickers in their eyes.

Being stared at by a group of people like this, but Gu Qing is no longer the simple young man.

He smiled indifferently.

"What are you thinking about? How can there be a science fiction technology like a conscious helmet?"

Alas... There was a low sigh in the corner.

"Of course we have opened up the visual signal, so it is still no problem to make a virtual visual helmet." Gu Qing said softly.

"???"

"Great!"

"What the hell!"

"Can vision really be transmitted?"

Some young executives opened their mouths wide, even imagining the scenes in science fiction movies.

Some older executives were still frowning and thinking about the concept of virtual vision helmet mentioned by Mr. Gu. Is it VR or AR?
