Chapter 884

Liu Nian is actually the same as Ni Guangnan. Although he nominally manages the game department, he actually extends his tentacles all over the research center, but he is not in charge of other departments, but other departments beg him to solve problems.

Since entering the research center, Liu Nian's talent has been fully developed with the guidance of senior leaders such as Ni Guangnan and president Zhang and the most advanced experimental equipment in the world.

In history, Liu Nian, who was decadent because of his father's death and finally died in a fight, was penniless and didn't even have a tombstone. Instead, Liu Nian, a super genius in the Research Institute, was still a versatile super genius.

Not only the R & D work of the game department, but also many thorny problems in other departments. When they really can't think of a solution, they will find Liu Nian and ask him to help solve them. Therefore, Liu Nian's tentacles extend into various departments.

Although Liu Nian is the youngest in the whole research institute, it is recognized that he has the greatest ability. Some people even think that if Ni Guangnan and other old people were not too terrible in age and qualifications, the director of the whole research center would be most appropriate to give Liu Nian this metamorphosis.

Of course, Liu Nian's current research focus is still on the game department. The R & D task of boss Jia's first game console is handed over to Liu Nian.

After receiving a call from Nintendo, boss Jia, who felt that the time was a little short, found Liu Nian again and wanted to see how the R & D Progress of the new generation of game consoles was.

The result made boss Jia helpless. When he entered the game department, he found that Liu Nian was not studying the game console, but fiddling with a 4WD.

If you were an ordinary person, boss Jia would swear directly, but this is his baby son Liu Nian. Boss Jia can only sigh helplessly, and then smiled and asked, "what new functions have you developed in your Yuanshi Tianzun?"

"I'm going to add four spiral wings to him so that he can fly when passing through terrain such as water surface, so that he can completely ignore the resistance of water and reduce a lot of waterproof accessories!" Liu Niandao.

"Isn't this a UAV..." boss Jia muttered. Should he start developing UAVs in advance?

"Well, I came to ask, how far has our game console been developed!" boss Jia finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"It depends on how much you want to do, godfather!" Liu Nian counseled her shoulder.

"To what extent is it now?" asked boss Jia.

"Well, if you want a PS level game console, it's almost now. I can give you complete design drawings in three days. With your ability, it's estimated that mass production can be achieved in three months!" Liu Nian smashed his mouth and said. According to the meaning of his words, it seems that a PS level game console has been developed.

"True or false!" boss Jia was delighted!

"Half true and half false!" Liu Nian turned his eyes and said, "really, I can really give you design drawings, but at least 73 parts need to be imported from abroad because of patents and production technology. In this way, the production cost of this game console will exceed PS by about $100!"

"Er..." boss Jia shook his head. PS 299 is really a very bug price. If it can't be lower or equal to PS, otherwise a host with the same performance as PS can't beat PS.

"But you should have a way to deal with it, right?" seeing the smile on Liu Nian's face, boss Jia suddenly reacted. Liu Nian is still hiding something!

"There's a way, I don't know if you support me!" Liu Nian smiled and said, "the reason why the cost of our game console can't be reduced is that the game theme related patents of this generation have been applied for by Sony and Nintendo. We're a step slow, and it's really difficult to break through the patent blockade."

"But what if it's the next generation of console!" Liu Nian laughed and then said, "according to my plan, the CPU of the next generation of game console should have at least 300MB of computing power, 16kb temporary memory ram, 8KB data cache, 16kb instruction cache, etc. This is the most powerful Intel CPU configuration at present. It needs 180nm process chips to be manufactured!"

"Then there is the GPU of the host, that is, the graphics card. The computing power can be a little higher than that of the CPU, but it also needs 150m computing power. However, the graphics memory needs 4MB, 64 bit pixel structure, 2.4G pixels per second coloring ability, 75m polygon filling ability per second, anti aliasing, atomization and multi-channel texture mapping..."

"Wait!" boss Jia rubbed his head and said, "don't report data to me. I haven't studied the graphics card. Can you tell me in a simpler way?"

"OK!" Liu Nian counseled her shoulder and said, "in short, it is to support 480p high-precision 3D image quality, 720p high-precision 2D image quality and 1080p highest image quality! At the same time, it can run the 3D game under the screen smoothly."

"Yes!" boss Jia exclaimed. If this is the performance of the next generation game console, it can really be said to be completely crushed.

The question is, how long does it take to get such an awesome game console out!

According to this configuration, I'm afraid personal computers will have to wait until about 2005

"In fact, it's not as difficult as expected!" Liu Nian explained, as he seemed to see the worry in boss Jia's heart "Now we are making every effort to tackle the research and development of 120nm lithography machine. Because you are willing to spend money, the progress is quite good. According to the teacher, we will complete the 120nm lithography machine for you before the millennium at the latest. It will not be the same as playing to produce some 180nm chips at that time. Although there is still a big gap from the world's leading 70nm lithography machine, it is not the same It's too scary. "

"And as far as I know, the 70nm lithography machine has encountered a huge bottleneck internationally. It seems that there is no way to break through this data. Maybe it will take 20 or 30 years, so that we can catch up."

"The whole research center is becoming more and more mature in chip design. Anyway, before the millennium, it will not be a problem to get you qualified chips!"

"As for the GPU, that is, the graphics card, it's better. Godfather, you're really a genius. You bought NVIDIA. It's too strong in the graphics card technology. For NVIDIA, the next generation of game independent graphics card should be able to achieve this data. At that time, you should let them have a dedicated version of the host. It's appropriate."

"After these two most important components are completed, other R & D will not be a problem. It is estimated that both Sony and Nintendo are still immersed in the first generation 3D host, and their second generation 2D host has not been developed and approved. It is just when we overtake in the corner. As long as we hold enough R & D patents for the second generation host in our hands, we can't have a company You can use the patent card to help us! "Liu Nian said quickly.

"You little fellow can do it!" boss Jia grabbed Liu Nian's head. "I'll show you a company, and you can also run it well!"

"I don't believe it. I don't have Godfather. You are so cunning. If you run the company, you will be cheated to death sooner or later!" Liu Nian said with considerable self-knowledge.
