Chapter 92 CPU New Standard

Olsen surprised to listen to the sound inside the phone, then he took the ear and determined that he didn't listen to it.

"Intel is willing to inject $ 10 million ... At the same time," I have acquired 65% of our company's shares, I have agreed. "The other party is Andon, Olsen friends, and one of the founders of DEC .

Last year, the venture capital company founded by Lockefeller has used $ 300,000 of loans and some interests to the other 65% shares.

Olsen occupies only 13% of the company, and 100% of Catherine is completely different (Intel is 95%).

For Catherine, it is necessary to occupy the absolute control.

For the company, Olsen has long already got a lot of shares.

It is because of this, Catherine is convenient for many. Catherine's acquisition of shares directly from Ard.

Although the ARD earned a lot of money, for Catherine, there is no business than this.

At this time, Olsen's DEC is just a company that is about to be stinky, and ARD is not optimistic about them.

$ 10 million?

For Olsen companies, there is no better news than this.

If there is no Catherine's interference, Olsen will receive $ 900,000 in profit this year, which is reduced by 300,000 profit relative to 1963.

Dec's profitability increase will continue next year until the "matrix" appears, the company has twisted the decline.

Alsen, who is still at home, immediately rushed to the company, then saw the plan of the Ark Group.

DEC will cooperate with Apple in Intel to develop computers toward miniaturization and miniaturization. The PDP series developed by DEC is originally a small machine (not microcomputer), which is specially developed for the company. However, after a cheaper Microsoft computer appears, their computer has not been welcomed before.

Many companies need, just a text processing equipment, but not a professional computer. The current computer function is not perfect, and the price of simple text processing equipment is relatively low, so Catherine's machine is very popular.

In particular, her machine can also print the computer documentation. For many companies, such a machine has saved a lot of time, so that each company has more than half a effort.

DEC and Intel will cooperate on a new generation of microprocessors, and the new generation of microprocessors is -z80.

In fact, Catherine is more likely to call MOS-6502, which is also the name of the CPU used above the earliest red and white game machine, which produced in the 1970s. This is also a vicious taste of Catherine.

Only Z80 is in the same era, with higher performance than MOS-6502, Catherine also hopes to make it.

In terms of computer, DEC needs to cooperate with Apple to launch a new generation of computer standards.

After all, Catherine all the processing equipment has become independent from integration. In this case, many things have not been as good as it is. Although there are many semiconductor companies that come into contact with Catherine, although Xian Tong has no idea to the whole machine, it is still interested in part of the hardware of computer equipment.

Olsen analyzed Catherine's company.

For Intel companies and Apple, their largest opponents, not IBM, but Motorola.

Olsen has stayed in IBM, this big cumbersome slow response speed and extremely serious bureaucratic style, let Olsen are extremely non-optimistic about this company, in fact, many people have left IBM.

What's more, the current IBM is not found in a set of boxes of Sida Kray,

Motorola is different. Because the US government cooperates in radios, Motorola's scenery has no two, Motorola works with the National Film Company to develop the first color TV rectangular image tube, which has become the standard of the image tube.

The so-called first-class enterprise is standard, almost like this. Even Catherine's Gametv is all the standards of their company.

Olsen created DEC, and developed a popular computer series, but he is not just a computer engineer.

Now, Catherine is almost Olsen's boss. After analyzing these issues, he immediately wrote a question about the company's prospect and wrote a report.

For the issue of Olsen, Catherine feels deeply.

In fact, Catherine's $ 10 million is entirely the price of Olsen.

There is no DEC. More than 10 million, saying that the other party is 100 million or even more, there is no problem.

But for Catherine, the most important problem is not to be with Motorola, but they need to develop 8-bit CPUs that can be Z80. This is the king.

Now Catherine's 4004CPU is a 4-bit CPU, which is made to the current Microsoft computer, and the role is not very big.

But after Z80, it can be different.

The Z80 in history has 8K memory. There are 64K memory, the maximum number of color numbers is 512 colors, the same screen color number 64 color, the maximum resolution 320x448, the maximum number of active blocks is 80, support AV output and RGB output.

But now, Catherine peels the graphics card and CPU, at least for a long time, she is not ready to integrate it.

Catherine's requirements for Z80 were not high. After stripping the graphics function, Z80 became a simple computing device. At the same time, Catherine also created a graphics card called MOS-6502 for supporting output ...

These conceptual problems, Catherine passed the basic reference program, passed to Olsen and Jerry Sanders.

The cooperation between the company has become, studying this, is an urgent point, everything gave the results of the researchers.

"Super Mario".

Catherine wrote the two words (English) on his own notebook, and then thought about it, and added "eat peas."

What she wants to do is still a lot.

Intel also immediately released Z80 plans to the outside world, and decided to let Z80 become the core and standards of the next generation of Microsoft computers.

Catherine is now, it is to show a Pentagon, and your company has enough strength ...

......

Unblocking the power network, the notebook will not pass the Internet, the potholes.
