Chapter 974 - The Chip War-We Are Rich【Quest For Subscriptions

"The main CPU frequency can be a generation behind, but the overall performance cannot be a generation behind!" Xu Zhenming tossed out the order. According to his vision, the worst of the Rely 260MMX CPUs would have to add 256K L2 cache and improve the overall performance of the CPU by increasing the first level of cache.

This requirement does fit the current state of CPU development.

The CPU is fast or not, and sometimes it is not considered from the technical parameter of mains frequency. Temperature, fault tolerance, data storage speed, and many other parameters can affect a CPU's performance parameters. This is the only remedy for the Riley 260MMX CPU.

In addition, increasing the number of cores in the CPU can also improve the performance of the CPU, but the cost is too high.

Xu Zhenming thus also brought this opinion up for the technical cadres present to discuss it.

"I remember when we put the Vermillion Bird IICPU on sale, there used to be dual-core, quad-core, multi-core and many other models. This time, why don't you guys propose to remedy the situation in this way?"

Xu Zhenming frowned slightly and asked Zhou Jiawei.

"Er... I'll answer that question." At that moment, Hu Mingzhen saw that Zhou Jiawei was a bit embarrassed and took the initiative to come out to top the tank. He told Xu Zhenming that Yiming Group Company wanted to improve the CPU research and development level, they couldn't just use dual-core CPUs forever to fight with their rivals with single-core CPUs.This would breed inertia in the technicians.

"Xu Dong, if we use dual-core CPUs, the cost of the Rui Li 260MMX CPUs will increase by a large margin, and there isn't much advantage in terms of selling price, so the profit is too small." Zhang Naijin also put forward the same opinion, believing that Yiming Group Company could not make a loss-making or unprofitable deal.

But Xu Zhenming was not convinced, "The technical advantage of our Yiming Group company is the chip Foundry process technology, which can integrate the most transistors in the smallest unit area. Let's fight this with the Yonkers!"

Xu Zhenming hegemonic wave of the hand, said he does not care about the cost, money can afford to burn. The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years.

What's more, the current situation of Yiming Group of Companies is much stronger than that of SMIC in another time and space, with its own R&D, production, sales and supply chain. Even if you use dual-core CPUs to fight with Pentium CPUs, the volume of the Yiming Group Company can carry it, and it doesn't matter if you burn some money, the market share is the most important thing.

"Good, we at Mingxin Manufacturing Company support the decision of Director Xu and will use the best Foundry process technology to support the sharp CPU!"After listening to Xu Zhenming's speech, Zhang Naijin cracked up and laughed.

When he heard that Xu Zhenming was willing to give up profiteering for the sake of the market, even at a loss, he no longer insisted on his opinion. The big boss had revealed his family background in today's meeting, and the Yiming Group of Companies currently had over 100 billion in cash that could be used to fight the burning war, so what else did he have to hesitate about?

Along with Zhang Naijing's statement, Big Brother Hu Mingzhen also gave a slight nod, "In the long run, Director Xu's decision will be beneficial to us. I think Director Zhou's team will definitely catch up quickly and make a breakthrough in the technical parameters of CPU main frequency as soon as possible."

Hearing that Xu Zhenming now had money, Hu Mingzhen was also energized, and after saying this, he immediately applied with Xu Zhenming for an increase in cost for the ARF lithography project research. Since it was going to burn money, the ARF lithography project was the one worth burning money for.

"You...you old Hu, you never leave your old ways in three innings! Okay, let's put this issue aside for now and hold another special meeting." After hearing Hu Mingzhen's whining words, Xu Zhenming smiled and waved his hand. He told Hu Mingzhen to go back and do the preparatory work first, listing out the items that needed to be increased in cost.

After saying these words, he looked over towards Zhou Jiawei with a smile, "How about Director Zhou, do you have any confidence?"

"There! We promise to complete the Sharp CPU development process and come up with a qualified sample in July!" At this moment, Zhou Jiawei's eyebrows were tightly locked as he patted his chest for assurance. Although he didn't have much inner confidence, he couldn't back down at a moment like this, lest he be looked down upon by all of his fellow colleagues.

Thinking about it, Xu Zhenming was already preparing to use a dual-core CPU against the Pentium single-core CPU in order to improve the performance of the sharp CPU, and it would be a bit too much for them to say if they were to complain.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiawei was ready to adjourn the meeting and immediately went back to start setting up work, working overtime to modify the design framework and verification workflow of the Riley CPU.

"Director Zhou, this sharp CPU of yours is still the brain of the Galaxy IV supercomputer in the future. I hope you guys will be careful and careful!" At that moment, Xu Zhenming presented Zhou Jiawei with a new task.

This task was incomparably honourable, allowing Zhou Jiawei's team to once again step into the ranks of world-class supercomputer developers. Once Galactic IV was once again prestigious, these people would also become famous worldwide.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiawei was stunned and stopped his actions. "Xu Dong, the country has set up another project to develop the Galaxy IV supercomputer?" His eyes were burning hot as he looked at Xu Zhenming.

But at that moment, Xu Zhenming shook his head slightly, "No! Galaxy IV is a self-funded R&D project of our group of companies. We are going to work with the National Defense University Computer Research Institute to prepare the next generation of servers for big data systems!"

"Erm? Our company pays for itself? Hehehe ...... Looks like our Xu Dong is really rich now!"

"I think the Galaxy IV project is worth investing in, at least to provide a big data center for our lab!"

"A big data center will cost at least a billion dollars. This project is really a bit of a money burner, but doesn't the state subsidize it?"

"Who cares if it's subsidized or not? We're a little freer to pay for our own projects, so we don't have to beg Dad and Grandma to approve funding!"

When they heard that Xu Zhenming was going to burn money on the Galaxy IV supercomputer, all the bigwigs in the conference room were hotly debating.

The idea of these people was simple: they wanted to obtain a good big data system platform, thus increasing the efficiency of their research and development.

"Everyone, let's all disperse. Director Wan will stay." Xu Zhenming scanned the faces of those bigwigs and waved his hand with a smile.

He told those bigwigs to go back to their preparations first, and those who wanted to invest in additional projects would first make a plan for the use of funds, so don't scream here.

Everyone smiles and laughs, and you and I leave in companionship. Hu Mingzhen and Wan Ninggu did not leave and went to sit down next to Xu Zhenming.

"Director Wan and Hu, if our Vermillion Bird Series CPUs exceeded Pentium CPUs in every performance index, would the Mickeys sanction our Yiming Group Company?"

Looking at Hu Mingzhen and Manningo, who were sitting on their right and left hands, only then did Xu Zhenming voice out his inner reasoning and ask these two big men to analyze it.

"Isn't this... isn't Mickey Mouse always engaging in a technology blockade now? What other tricks can they come up with?"

"I don't think so. The Yonkers are not ironclad inside, and even if Intel wants to sanction our group of companies, the other companies may not agree to do so."

Hu Mingzhen and Manningo's eyebrows furrowed slightly after hearing the words, voicing thoughts that they weren't sure about.

From this, it seemed that these two hadn't been beaten up by Mickey Mouse and didn't know the real ugly face of Mickey Mouse.

This was not a good sign!

The core backbone of the Yiming Group of Companies, the right hand man of Xu Zhenming, actually has illusions about the Americans, where are the other ordinary employees?

What will they think?
