Chapter 608 Nvidia and AMD

(There are a lot of data, so if you don't like data, you can skip it.)

"And most importantly, Jiuzhou Technology made a big mistake, that is, they should not have brought out the three products of Titan processor, Rocky X1 and Lingjing Lander at one time. If they had brought them out step by step, one stage at a time in three years, we would definitely not be able to compete, but it is different now.

Jiuzhou Technology has brought out too many high-tech products in a short period of time, which has caused market panic and forced us to unite against it. This is a very unwise move.

I dare to assert that if Jiuzhou Technology cannot come up with better products in the future, it will become the second Nokia, and we will learn from it and then surpass it.

We will eventually sweep the market of Daxia again, and there are many architecture design patents for processors, which are barriers they cannot bypass!"

Old Huang spoke eloquently and endlessly, and even made a prediction that Jiuzhou Technology is very strong, but it will also die because of its strength.

To be honest, the directors who don't understand technology believe in his perverse logic, because they do have examples of dying because of their strength.

And those executives and directors who understand technology nodded secretly after hearing the voice-over of learning technology.

How can technology research and development be called stealing? That's called learning!

When Huang was talking about the cake, he kept paying attention to the expressions of others. Seeing that everyone's expressions were much more relaxed, he also let go of his heart.

There were difficult words one after another, such as "information technology and the metaverse" and "TSMC's leading process orders", which made everyone laugh: the conference room was full of a happy atmosphere.

Finally, someone dared to whisper: "Huang Renxun, what you said is predictable, but do we have to cooperate with competitors such as Pingguo and Intel?"

"Of course not!" Huang Renxun hurriedly said: "We will not relax for a day in the cooperation negotiations with Jiuzhou Technology. As long as Jiuzhou Technology relaxes, we can immediately prepare for joint venture operations. At this stage, Jiuzhou Technology's technology is still what we need to learn."

Seeing that CEO Huang was not as rigid as Apple's Cook, the directors were more relaxed.

In this market environment, Western technology companies have also selectively brought out weapons that they think are OK.

NVIDIA NVIDIA RTX40 series graphics cards: manufactured by TSMC's 5nm process, currently including five GPU cores, namely AD102, AD102, AD104, AD106 and AD107.

The highest-specification AD102 has up to 18432 CUDA cores, AD103 has 10752 cores, and the remaining three have 7680, 4608, and 3072 respectively.

In comparison, NVIDIA's current card king RTX3090 has 10496 CUDA cores. If RTX4090Ti uses the full-blooded version of AD102, the number of cores will increase by 7936, and the performance will at least increase by more than half.

According to gossip, the gaming performance of RTX4090Ti is comparable to that of Titan processor C!

There is also a "supporting news", that is, Intel will release the new 13th generation Core Raptor Lake processor and 700 series chipset motherboard at the end of the year. When the time comes, assemble a 13th generation Core processor, 700 series motherboard, DDR5 memory, PCIe5.0 M2 solid-state drive, and Nvidia RTX 40 series graphics card, its performance can compete with the Titan processor.

Intel and Nvidia are fighting against Jiuzhou Technology. When AMD sees the opportunity, how can it be willing to give up the market?

AMD CEO Su Ma stood up and said: "Please shout out the players' slogan! AMD YES!"

Before the Titan processor was released, AMD launched the RX 6000 series graphics cards based on the RDNA2 architecture, including RadeonRX 6800, 6800XT and 6900XT, targeting Nvidia's RTX3090, RTX3080 and RTX3070 respectively.

Although the graphics card is very good, AMD's game support, software support and support for Windows systems are still much worse than Nvidia's. So although the graphics card is very strong, it is slightly weak in actual applications and has insufficient production capacity!

However, under the strong pressure of the Titan processor, Intel's big brother graphics card, Nvidia 40 series, and the special environment of the mining disaster, AMD has to take out the "long-treasured" 7000 series graphics card using the RDNA3RX architecture

Information shows that the energy efficiency of the 7000 series graphics card with the RDNA3RX architecture on RDNA2 will be increased by 50% again, and due to the expansion of production capacity and technology upgrades, this generation of AMD's 7000 series graphics cards will still have a sincere cost-effectiveness and game optimization performance.

Of course, in the parameter table of data benchmarking, Jiuzhou Technology's Titan processor also appeared again.

Su Ma held the new graphics card in her right hand with a pigeon egg ring on it, and said confidently: "The reason why the running score is so high is that in addition to the new architecture, the 7000 series graphics card in my hand also has a new technology. The graphics card with built-in solid-state drive - AMD Radeon Pro SSG solid-state graphics card technology has also begun to be gradually transferred to ordinary user products."

AMD's gas stove shocked a lot of people.

Putting the solid-state drive into the graphics card, this technology is too similar to the Titan processor!

And looking at the running points and actual test data, the 7000 series graphics card is more than half a step better than Nvidia's 40 series.

From a design point of view, PCIe devices can communicate directly without going through the CPU, which means that in some high-performance computing scenarios, the graphics card GPU can directly exchange data between the storage NVMe SSD and the high-speed network card without CPU processing. Since scientific computing tasks are also run by the GPU, the CPU only becomes a "controller" at this time and is marginalized. Intel/AMD does not want to see this, so in the past they deliberately created a "bug" that limits the bandwidth between the CPU and PCIe devices directly, making the direct connection useless, and the way to bypass this limitation is to add a PCIe bridge chip.

But now it seems that due to the great pressure from Jiuzhou Technology, the former "technical difficulties" have been instantly overcome and have become a technical highlight.

There is also the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.3.1 software update released by AMD, which brings RSR super-resolution technology to players.

This technology not only brings amazing performance and stunning images in many game masterpieces, but also allows gamers to enjoy high-demand visual functions such as ray tracing.

Even the previous 6000 series 6700XT can rely on this technology to meet the balance of 4K image quality and frame rate.

Moreover, under ideal conditions in the laboratory, AMD's 7000 series card king has gaming performance comparable to that of the Titan processor C, and even under the pile of materials without considering cost and heat dissipation, some hardware scores have a certain degree of surpassing.

This can make Lao Huang, who had vowed to draw pie before, instantly suffer a setback.

It also made the atmosphere in Daxia that was proud of Jiuzhou Technology begin to be affected to a certain extent under the promotion of certain forces.

Under the mining disaster, those profiteers and middlemen who did not become flying people now see Jiuzhou Technology doing better, and they are more resentful in their hearts.
