Rewriting the Technological Scenario

Meng Qian and Shen Jiawen were resting on the balcony. At 11:30, he returned to the living room and continued to watch live.

Different from Jobs, Samuel before the camera has a very difficult confidence, and it is true that Laozi is Tiangu Laozi. With his confidence, the latest propaganda film of IBM appeared on the big screen. This is a documentary propaganda film, which presented the powerful history of IBM in front of everyone, especially in large computer fields, IBM It is almost all the king's status for ten years.

As the end of the propaganda film, he sounded a warm applause.

Samuel returned to the stage again, "IBM has been 95 years old, many people are looking forward to a hundred years of IBM, and every IBM is also passionate for the best 100 years.

Just within this special time node, we have seen the huge changes in the computer industry, we began to realize the microcomputers developed from the 1970s, will soon usher in the era of big outbreaks, for this reason, our IBM takes place to set up a CELL processor project .

I saw that many people commented that the establishment of the Cell processor project was to enter the field of microcomputer. I want to say that IBM never follows, IBM only leads. "

With the sentence of Samuel, the big screen lit again, and there was an IBM first in hundreds of fields, and the warm applause once again sounded.

"Samuel didn't talk about success." Meng Qian, watching live, can not help but ridicule.

The opening ceremony has made the trend, and the launch will begin to enter the topic, introduce the CELL processor.

More accurately, it is to introduce the platform technology made by IBM with the wind group. Thunder can be translated into lightning or thunderness, and the future in China is more habitually called Thunder Technology Platform.

The reason why NB takes this name, mainly considering the feelings of Westerners, Thunder expressed the kind of lightning, overbearing, even anger, etc., IBM feels that it can express the speed of our technical platform, can also reflect IBM The king is domineering, as well as the anger of Intel and AMD, after all, these two goods have been ridicule IBM in the past few years, which makes IBM for a long time.

The thunder technology platform is naturally the Intel Centrino Technology Platform.

Is it difficult to create such a technical platform? Still it is quite difficult, because this does not only involve the processor itself, there is a lot of related technical support, which requires a lot of related technical reserves, hardware reserves, so general enterprises want to do it is not easy, but IBM comes with the wind group If you do, you will naturally be different.

As for why IBM is not done? In fact, people do it, just don't do it, just like doing a CELL processor but didn't do it, because in the chipset, NIC module, IBM is really not as good as Intel.

The NB brought, of course, is an innovative force. When the thunder technology platform is in front of the Centrino Technical platform, even the parallelism can also see some clear data.

Intel is now using the third-generation technology platform NAPA, which is an integrated platform consisting of Intel 945 Series chipset, Yonah Pentium M processor, Intel 3945ABG wireless network card module, and the system bus rate is increased to 667MHz, YONAH processor launched single, Dual-core technology and use 65nm process. Among them, Yonah Pentium M processor began to introduce dual-core technology is a key technology for this NAPA.

Look at the Thunder Technology Platform, it is an integrated platform consisting of a DF660 series chipset, a Cell processor, and IBM's latest 6555btg wireless network card module. The system bus reaches a higher data transfer speed between 800 MHz, CPU, and chipset.

In addition, the Thunder Technology Platform is very intended to break through a demand of the attempt, high performance low power consumption, using dynamic front-end bus frequency switching technology, and reduce the kernel voltage by changing the front-end bus frequency, so that the CPU enters new Low power running status reduces running power consumption.

At the same time, the Cell processor also introduces the dynamic acceleration technology of IBM R & D, so that single-threaded application performance is improved. That is, when the CPU is in a single-threaded working state, one kernel of the processor is idle to reduce power consumption, while the other running kernel can obtain additional TDP space from the idle kernel, thereby achieving higher performance.

In addition, the Thunder Technology Platform has clearer video playback capabilities and better manageability and security, with Sony to jointly develop new video technology, and the wind group provides a lot of security technology, in fact, IBM's wireless network card module group is also developed with the wind group. After all, IBM does not build trees in the wireless network card field.

When I saw this, many viewers had a tangling and embarrassment, because from the current introduction, the thunder technology platform is very excellent, but if the inside is removed, the wind group's chipset, with Intel What's it?

Can NB just out of the network card can be with Intel?

As for the Cell processor itself ... um, how is it?

When many people on the Internet discussed this matter, Samuel began to show the parameters of the CELL processor.

"The Cell processor is still the POWER architecture, but on the Cell processor, we have changed a lot of changes to the Power architecture. The core is complexity, and the Cell processor has significantly reduced the complexity of the Power architecture and enhancing openness. .

We have launched three series, including the Cell T series processor, the Cell D series processor, and the Cell M series processor, with 65nm process, single core, dual-core ... and, quad-core! "

At the scene, I was born.

Online discussions are also lively.

Last year, Intel launched the first dual-core processor, IBM launched its own dual-core processor after two months, so many people said that the first dual-core processor is Intel launched.

But this is exactly some problem, first is the server field, the world's first dual-core processor is born in 2001, from IBM.

At the same time, the G4 era, that is, in 2004, IBM actually launched a computer dual-core processor, but the product has a little failed, but it is no one when he takes place. In 2005, Intel launched dual-core processors is relatively mature. Everyone also said that Intel is the first to launch a dual-core processor, plus the other word, the future IBM lost in the personal computer field, the winner is a king of the defeat, which is nothing.

As for the quad-core processor, Intel is last month, that is, in January 2006, it will launch its own quad-core processor at the end of the year, so users are looking forward to Intel's quad-core processors.

However, when Intel also wants to wait for one year, IBM takes the quad-core processor.

Of course, this quad-core processor is actually a pseudo quadrote, that is, the two double kernel processors are packaged together, but Intel's first quad-core processor is also doing, and many people don't know what. This package technology is really IBM, the package technology used by Intel's first pseudo-quad-core processor is IBM.

So last year Meng Qian has been talking to IBM, this package technology is yours, you are a quad-core processor.

At that time, IBM engineers were more real. They think this is a quad-core processor. Is this not deceiving consumers?

Meng Qian is also very speechless. People will be so doing it back, hey ...

Finally, I finally convincing the engineer.

I will go to this, so I immediately said that Samuel said, "I have already heard someone asking, our Cell processor will apply, my answer is, everything, the future, everyone will be HP's server, Sony's PS3, Siemens switches, etc. See the Cell processor.

And in the field of personal computer, our greatest partner is our IBM's good friend, the wind group, a few days later, the launch of the SG computer, I am full of expectations. "
