Technology: Breaking the Hegemony that Monopolizes the World

Chapter 495 P Is Ordinary C Is Super Strong

How many competitors are there at this price of $4888?

Quest 2 is the second-generation independent virtual reality helmet from Facebook. The first generation Quest virtual reality helmet was released in the 1019th year of the Xia Yin Star Calendar. It has achieved great success in the market and even won the honor of "Best Product of the Year".

It is very popular abroad, but there is no living space for Facebook and overseas shopping in Daxia, so sales are sluggish, and the highest-end price is about 4,000 yuan.

And what is its configuration?

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 64GB / 256GB storage, the highest display resolution is only 1832 x 1920 per eye, and the initial refresh rate is only 72Hz when it starts.

Can this data beat the K1 of Suiren Company?

Is it worthy?

It is not worthy! It is not at the same level at all.

But last year, the total sales of Facebook's second-generation helmet reached 10 million units. So how will K1 perform?

Of course, there is another strong competitor for single helmets at this price, that is, the STEAM VR single helmet. The current price is just 4888.00.

However, its highest performance is only 144Hz in the test mode, and the binocular resolution is 1440×1600.

As the top brand of Valve on Steam, STEAM VR has been on the STEAM weekly sales chart several times, which shows its ability to attract money.

But comparing it with the K1 helmet sold by Suiren Company, it is just garbage sorting.

What kind of garbage is it?

Gabe Newell, who can't count to three, has ushered in a strong enemy in his career!

Many CEOs, technicians, and VR enthusiasts of technology companies are eager to experience the complete body of the K1 helmet, that is, the feeling of using all the "unimportant things" that Gu Qing said.

The things in the promotional video are almost the same as those in ordinary science fiction movies and promotional videos shot by VR equipment manufacturers themselves.

It looks quite gimmicky, but senior people in the industry think it is a bit "ordinary".

It can't be that the things in this promotional video can be made by ordinary users at will, right?

Gu Qing didn't care much about the opinions of these industry insiders. In his opinion, or in the opinion of the participants of the K1 helmet project team, there is no competitor of K1 on the market. If there is, it is time to bring out K2.

He went on to say: "The price of the K1 helmet itself is relatively cheap, but the performance of the chip it carries is not the best, so if users want to experience the most extreme enjoyment, they also need a high-performance host to assist in processing the data required to run large-scale 3A games."

Gu Qing's words made people from NVIDIA, AMD and other manufacturers at the scene breathe a sigh of relief.

At first, they thought that Jiuzhou Technology was so strong that it could be on par with them in the field of graphics processors.

But before they could relax, Gu Qing's next sentence made them breathe again.

"So, in order to push the display effect of this helmet to the best level, we developed a Titan processor equipped with APU. It is also the last flagship product to be released at tonight's press conference."

What is APU? ? ?

Not only was there a lot of question marks in the live broadcast room, but there was also a lot of discussion at the press conference.

Of course, the brain circuits of technical masters like Lao Huang and Su Ma are very fast.

In short, APU is a chip that combines GPU and CPU. However, with the current surge in chip power consumption and performance, this combination will easily cause the processor chip to be burned out by high power consumption and heat dissipation problems, and too much integration is not conducive to the research and development and profit of a single project.

It is relatively simple to break through in one direction. If you want to break through in multiple directions, the difficulty coefficient will increase exponentially.

For example, Intel Core and NVIDIA N series graphics cards, the leaders in the electronic product industry in recent years, the hardware upgrade model of their main products is nothing more than adding cores, adding memory, and optimizing the structure.

Because they only need higher performance, as for power consumption, heat dissipation, compatibility and other issues, naturally other departments and companies are responsible.

And making APU is simply a thankless task.

Others' CPUs have been upgraded for two or three generations, while APUs may still be standing still.

So in the eyes of many people who know the way in this area, Jiuzhou Technology is no longer bragging, but thinking about flying before learning to walk.

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed that his pie fell, Gu Qing sighed and said, "Others spend ten years to sharpen their swords, three years to develop a new architecture, and five years to make a big leap. But the release of the Titan processor makes me excited but also a little empty.

Because this processor can run not only Windows system, but also Pingguo system, Android system, Unix-like system, and our Gonggong system. And it has great optimization for online games, large stand-alone machines, deep learning, and video rendering.

After its release, some familiar products will definitely be forced to leave the market.

Alas, every time something familiar gradually disappears from my life, I will sigh that time flies.

Without saying too much, let's take a look at the specific data of the Titan processor."

Gu Qing, who was still flirting just now, suddenly became an industry elite after a snap of his fingers.

"There are two models of Titan processors, Titan P and Titan C. Titan P is manufactured by Xiaxin Technology's 14nm process, and Titan C is manufactured by Xiaxin Technology's 5nm process. Neither of them adopts the chip stacking solution, but places the traditional CPU and GPU on a motherboard.

Titan P has sufficient production capacity to supply ordinary players with mainstream online games and 3A masterpieces. The specific parameters are as follows:

(What are you looking at? It's the performance of the 12th generation I5 plus RTX3070, which is really not worth mentioning.

Of course, as the protagonist of this press conference, I want to reveal a little secret to everyone here. A certain R&D personnel named Zhang in our R&D department gave the full name of the project of Titan processor C: Titan processor super invincible model."

Gu Qing's little joke made the audience Many people and people in the live broadcast room laughed out loud, and the whole world suddenly became a lively ocean.

Of course, in addition to Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Pingguo and other companies, and a blushing R&D staff member named Zhang.

Facing the wooden eyes of Old Huang, Gu Qing continued to introduce after everyone laughed: "The performance of Titan C can definitely meet the production needs of our gamers and ordinary workers.

Its CPU core uses the mature large and small core hybrid architecture on the Chenxing chip, with a total of nine large cores, thirty-six small cores, and a total of forty-five cores.

In terms of GPU chip modules, it not only uses Xiaxin Technology's 5nm process technology, but also cooperates with our Daxia Dajiang Storage to give it 48GB of large video memory, with a video memory rate of 29.2Gbps and a power consumption of 400W."
