Chapter 200

Of course, Xiao Qi knows that even in 2013, arm and imagination technology basically can't pee in the same pot, especially in the cooperation in high-precision technology. Basically, there is only apple, which finally succeeded because Apple accounted for its identity as a shareholder of arm.

Oh, I forgot to mention the relationship between CPU and GPU,

CPU is the central processing unit, which is equivalent to the brain of a computer or mobile phone. It is the core of operation and control.

GPU is a graphics processor that controls various pictures of a computer or mobile phone. If the GPU is better, the picture will be smoother and the quality will be clearer. For example, when watching movies and playing games, it will be smooth without jamming the picture. It is an important standard to test whether a computer or mobile phone is of high quality.

In a computer or mobile phone, the central processing unit and graphics processor cannot be missing. In contrast, in a wide computer, the central processing unit plays a greater role, and the requirements for graphics processor will not be too strict.

But it's not the same with mobile phones or tablet computers, because their display screens are much smaller than computers, and all kinds of pictures and image quality will be severely compressed. In this case, if you want to watch movies and play games, you must have the best graphics processor. Under this top requirement, imagine that the GPU of a technology company can become as important as the CPU.

yes.

You're not mistaken. It's just as important. No matter how the GPU rushes to the sky, it can never be more important than the CPU.

But it's a great honor to be as important as the brain.

If you want such a large screen of a tablet computer with exquisite pictures and animation effects, you must need the best GPU, because paying attention to appearance is not only the patent of the Chinese people, but foreigners can't resist the beautiful electronic products.

Real good things have always been recognized by Eastern and Western cultural concepts, such as the iPhone and iPad. It is difficult to find those who don't like them because of their outstanding functions and dazzling appearance - as for the smart machines produced by Samsung, Nokia and Motorola, after comparison, some people gradually feel that the iPhone and iPad are not good enough.

Xiao Qi was not worried about Carlos's refusal.

Since leader Qiao can do it, Xiao Qi, who has two generations of experience, will also do it.

"You mean arm doesn't want to load the GPU of imagination technology on your CPU?" Xiao Qi looked at Carlos in surprise, "so arm is such a company without business ethics? When you fought against Inter, didn't you say that your chips were used whatever customers wanted? Would you do your best to meet customers? "

At the beginning, arm was beaten by Inter. If it hadn't been cruel and completely released its source code for others, I'm afraid they would have been thrown into the dustbin of history like other companies crushed by Inter.

After so many years, the people of arm have long been proud of their decision. They feel that the original action of breaking the boat is no better, otherwise it will not be as beautiful as it is now.

It is precisely because of this that arm attaches great importance to its promise and will never change it unless it has to, so as not to be a man after it is spread.

Xiao Qi's words made Carlos speechless. If he dared to say that he didn't have to imagine the GPU of the technology company, he would have to pack up and go tomorrow.

However, Carlos also knows that the arrogance of the group of people in the company hates the imagination technology. I'm afraid it's not easy for them to make major structural changes to the GPU of the imagination technology.

By the way, the GPU of imagination technology does not sell technology, only sells finished products, or can accept entrustment to make finished products. It will not refuse customers to use it. Even if it is given to arm, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they just make money.

So in fact, the main obstacle is in arm. When Apple entrusted imagination technology to do GPU, it was far smoother than persuading arm.

"I calculated that if you follow these conditions..." Xiao Qi handed over the technical indicators written by himself, "the licensing fee you charge is about $8 million. If you add the GPU of imagination technology, you can make the micro processor I want within two months, I can give you $10 million! And I guarantee that the chip will produce more than 30 million pieces! "

"Hiss..."

Carlos was stimulated by the figures Xiao Qi said, and suddenly stood up, "Mr. Xiao, wait a minute, I'll report!"

……

Ten minutes later, four important people from arm's New York branch gathered in the other office.

The bald one is Fisher, the deputy general manager of the company. Next to him is Carlos. The other standing is PASI, the chief technical adviser. Sitting on the boss's chair is redillo, the general manager.

Apart from Carlos's role, the other three people can be called the soul of arm America, no less than those in Silicon Valley.

Redillo and Fisher are looking at the architecture requirements put forward by Xiao Qi. Most of the staff of arm are technicians and very professional, so redillo and fisher can understand Xiao Qi's idea.

Of course, the main character is Percy with glasses. He has bent over the table, holding a pen, writing and drawing on white paper, frowning from time to time.

"Where did this young man come from? MIT? Or Harvard? " Fisher also smiled bitterly and put down the data copy paper in his hand. "It's really demanding. It can be called the most rigorous and high-tech microprocessor chip we've seen in recent years."

"Not bad." Rediro also nodded, "if he is not Chinese, I really think he is a resigned employee within arm. Such a targeted combination arrangement, without more than ten years of electronic chip skills, how can he be arranged so appropriately? Look at his requirements for 32-bit data import. If the dominant frequency does not reach more than 250mips, it can't be driven at all. "

PASI, a technology maniac, ignored what they said and continued his conjecture of combinatorial theory.

Carlos replied thoughtfully: "the passport he presented is from China. He is only 18 years old. This is his first time to the United States... But hell, this guy's American language is so proficient that he is even more American than Americans... And when he negotiated, he was very calm, just like people in his 30s and 40s... In short, I think he is a strange genius! "

"Good!!"

Before rediro spoke, Percy on the other side suddenly patted the table and cried out suddenly（ It's not finished yet. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
