1616th Tablet Core Solution Available

"Sanders, I'm Feng. How is the research and development of the accelerated processor that Chaowei and Yingweida cooperated?"

There are four main factors that limit the emergence of tablet PCs, of which there are three in terms of hardware, and in terms of software, the main one is the operating system. And the operating system is also limited by the hardware, so it can't be developed and thought to be very useful, but the hardware can't drive the system at all, right?

As for the hardware, the most important ones are the processor, screen and battery. Among them, the processor includes CPU and GPU, etc., and the screen also requires multi-touch, and because the screen is larger, the performance requirements for the battery are higher.

After the tablet computer was designed, Feng Yu's requirement was to allow people to watch videos for at least eight hours in a row.

In terms of batteries, there have been breakthroughs, but if the processor core consumes too much energy, it is not only a problem of power consumption, but also a major problem, that is, it will generate heat.

Tablets, like mobile phones, do not have a cooling fan, and no one wants to play with them, but the tablet in their hands feels hot, right?

In addition, there are high requirements for screen clarity and touch screen sensitivity. At present, Fengyu Electronics is one of the top LCD screens in the world, and this can basically meet Feng Yu's requirements.

The only thing is the processor, or not. According to the current products provided by Chaowei and Eagle Weida to make tablet computers, the thickness of the tablet computer is close to two centimeters.

And counting other accessories, the weight of the entire tablet computer will be too heavy, even if it uses a plastic casing, it will cost several hundred grams. If it was designed according to Feng Yu's aluminum alloy shell, it would weigh at least 800 grams.

For such a heavy thing, it is strenuous enough for people to hold it with their hands all the time, and it is even more impossible to use it lying down. If one accidentally falls on the face, people are still stunned.

Feng Yu has already told Lianxiang Group several times that this tablet computer is not a miniaturized all-in-one computer, nor is it ThinkPad from IBM or TablatPC from Microsoft. Of course, it cannot be understood as a PDA (handheld computer).

The main purpose of this tablet is entertainment. With the improvement of performance, it can also have office attributes, but it is definitely not developed for office.

So it is enough to meet some entertainment performance, and there is no need to make it so powerful.

The same is true for the system. There is no need to add any functions. It should be enough to upgrade the operating system of the smartphone instead of reducing the operating system of the PC.

This is a product between a smartphone and a computer, so this system must also be between the two. This is true both in terms of performance and size.

Even Think Yinshan put a lot of effort into developing this YOS system. For this reason, Lianxiang Yinshan merged some small software design companies in order to obtain those professional software design personnel and expand the team.

Fortunately, at this time, even thinking about Yinshan is not short of money.

When other aspects are progressing very well, it happens that the processor is stuck.

It's not that Chaowei and Eagle Weida do not cooperate with each other, but they both want to achieve the best performance of this product, so they find that the architecture design can't always satisfy them. Either it's too thick, it's too big, or it has other flaws.

Today Sanders received a call from Feng Yu again, and he replied embarrassedly: "Feng, this has not yet been designed satisfactorily. But we are speeding up, and I believe we will have a result soon."

Feng Yu shook his head, you told me the same thing last year. A year has passed and nothing has appeared. Is this what you said soon?

If it weren't for the fact that AMD's dual-core processor project is progressing very well, and its profits are also very good, Feng Yu would have lost his temper. After all, neither Chaowei nor Eagle Weida pays much attention to this product, and they are more worried that their current advantages will be surpassed by other companies.

It's not wrong to focus on improving the advantageous projects, but they don't know how big the profit margin of tablet computers will be in the future.

The traditional desktop market will gradually shrink,

The all-in-one machine market is expanding, the notebook market is expanding, the tablet market is expanding, and the overall PC market is also expanding.

According to this rule, products with a more reasonable layout, smaller footprint, and lower energy consumption will be more popular.

"Do you know ARM company? What do you think of their product architecture?"

"ARM? Their microprocessors are indeed unique, but their performance is too low. It's okay to be the core of a mobile phone, but how can it be the core of a PC?" This company is a peer, so how could Chaowei not understand it.

"I'm talking about their product architecture plan. If you use their product architecture plan, can you give you some hints, can you make it faster to accelerate the processor?"

"This accelerated processor doesn't need to have excellent performance. 800MHZ is good enough. The L2 cache is 512KB. The graphics card doesn't need to be excellent. The core frequency is 256MHZ. What I want is low energy consumption and space occupation. Small enough to fit on our tablet."

The performance of the tablet does not need so much excellence, and Feng Yu does not intend to make this a luxury product, the price of about 500 US dollars is enough.

So designing a better product, but increasing the cost, isn't the gain outweigh the loss. Feng Yu temporarily positions the tablet as an entertainment product, and the price is too high, which will definitely affect sales.

Hearing what Feng Yu said, Sanders replied: "Feng, their product architecture scheme is indeed relatively mature, which can give us a lot of inspiration. But in this case, we have to purchase ARM's patent license. This matter, I want to discuss with Ying Weida to see how to apportion the cost."

Although both are subsidiaries of Fengfeng Holding Group, they belong to different companies after all, and the composition of shareholders is also different, representing the interests of different people.

Of course, for Feng Yu, if the two companies make profits, he can follow suit, so he didn't think about it in detail.

"Okay, then go to Yang to discuss it and give me an answer as soon as possible. Also, don't rush to contact ARM. It's better to contact ARM next month."

Sanders was a little surprised. Feng Yu was so anxious to develop this product as soon as possible. He said that he was not in a hurry to contact ARM. What did he mean?

It suddenly occurred to him that Feng Yu seems to be very interested in hardware design and manufacturing companies. Could it be that Feng Yu is planning to acquire ARM?

It seems that when Feng Yu said that he wanted to be the biggest giant in the IT industry, he really didn't just talk about it casually.

Grasp the hardware and software, dabble in the network, computer, etc. If you really become the biggest giant in the industry in the future, it is not impossible.

Since Sanders said there was great inspiration, it should be fine. Didn't the A-series processors of the fruit company in the previous life also adopt the ARM architecture, thus creating a prosperous age for their smartphones and tablets for many years.

But in this life, the fruit company should stay aside.
