"It's only about 500MHz. It's not too high. Our Pentium 4 has reached 1.3GHz? Our chip is better than this!" black actually doesn't know much about technology. After all, he comes from purchasing.
However, he still knows the performance basis of some CPUs, such as the main frequency, which is the core of a CPU. The faster the main frequency, the stronger the CPU will be.
Of course, in 10 or even 20 years, the dominant frequency will no longer be the core data of a processor. After all, the dominant frequency of the top CPU in 20 years is only about 4GHz, which has not improved much. It depends more on cache, core number, optimized structure, multi-threaded operation and other aspects to improve the comprehensive capacity of the CPU. However, in 2000, the dominant frequency of a chip, It is still the core factor that determines the value of this chip.
"Sir, Pentium 4 is the strongest chip in the personal user market. It is the chip installed on the personal computer. But this is the handheld, and this is the data of the chip used by the handheld!" the engineer touched his forehead and said.
"I know..." black nodded. "But our CPU is strong! We are ahead of the data!"
"Let's say..." the engineer also knew that he might not be able to make it clear to black, so he simply said, "personal computers need to deal with a lot of complex work, so the main frequency of CPU is very high."
"But a game console only needs game related calculations, so in fact, the requirement for the main frequency of the CPU is not very high. The chip used by Sony's PSP now has a main frequency of only 200MHz."
"The CPU chip used in the change of heaven and earth before Daqian is the top game processing chip specially developed by Intel for games. Its main frequency is only about 300MHz!"
"But now, Daqian uses a chip with a 500 MHz dominant frequency, which has exceeded the computing power of our chip used before!" the engineer tried to explain.
"So, the chips usually used in game consoles are just mid-range chips. Daqian can really be bought in other chip manufacturing companies?" Blake asked. Strangely, before, everyone around said that Daqian's chips can only be purchased from Intel?
"No, they can only buy it from us!" the engineer shook his head. "Because although the main frequency requirements of the game chip are not high, the requirements for other capabilities are very high, especially in terms of cache and architecture, which require a strong chip design ability."
"These design capabilities are not available to other chip companies. Only our high-end game chip can be achieved. Daqian can only buy our chip!" said the engineer.
"You're a little confused for me!" black knocked on his head. "Tell me now, is Daqian chip better than ours?"
"It's really much better than ours!" the engineer said helplessly. "Because the handheld game console is limited by its volume, the requirements for the chip are very high. The chip must be small enough, with strong heat dissipation capacity and very low power consumption, otherwise the battery can't support the computing needs of the chip at all."
"Based on the above, with our design ability, the most we can design is a 300MHz chip. If we want to reach 500MHz, it is something Intel can't do at present."
"The most puzzling thing is that the computing power of the CPU has almost reached a dead corner. Because the lithography technology is always limited to the limit data of 70nm, it is impossible to integrate smaller computing units within a fixed range. According to theory, 300MHz is the limit of the current design. Unless there is a breakthrough in the process, how can it be built 500MHz chip out? "
"Now I also want to know which manufacturer developed such a powerful chip. I'm afraid they have become the strongest opponent of Intel. At least in the technology of game chip, they may have surpassed us!" the engineer said sincerely.
"It's impossible. No company in the world can surpass Intel. We don't have many powerful chips that have been sealed, just waiting..."
"Cough!" the engineer coughed several times. "Mr. President, we do have enough technical reserves, but that's for the PC market. We don't have much technical reserves on game chips."
"According to you, Daqian has really found a chipmaker who can supply them?" black asked anxiously.
"Yes, at least this supplier is not Intel, because we can't make such a chip!" the engineer nodded helplessly.
"Damn it!" black walked away with a gloomy face, and the engineer's attention was still completely focused on the small chip.
He still doesn't understand why anyone can achieve things that Intel can't achieve, and what kind of technology is on this chip.
So the engineer planned to dissect the chip thoroughly in the laboratory to see what terrible things were in it.
At this time, Blake obviously won't care about these things. He just wants to know who dares to have trouble with Intel.
Especially after all 100 devices were borrowed and it was found that all CPUs were of the same model, Blake was even more angry. It was obvious that someone was dismantling Intel.
So Blake began to use Intel's global resources to investigate the unit that secretly supplied Daqian, but he searched all over the United States, Europe, Fusang, South Korea and Gulf manufacturers, but found no clues.
You know, there are more than five million game consoles in this batch, which means that at least five million CPUs have been sold. It's impossible to find any trace!
Blake was panicked by the sudden chip, and the players found that the third batch of sales of qianjue and Qiankun change were indeed the same as Daqian said. The quantity was enough and had not been sold out for a week.
However, a week later, the total sales volume of the third batch has exceeded 7 million. Taken together, the sales volume of at least 20 million is certain. The Qiankun change handheld machine has once again created the sales myth of the handheld machine industry.
The game developers who secretly flirted with Sony saw that the world had changed and qianjue had always been in stock this time. Many manufacturers immediately disappeared. Some manufacturers had signed half of their contracts. As a result, all kinds of excuses emerged, such as sick, dead parents, and even cheating, Anyway, there are more than half of the people around how long liangmujian, which makes how long liangmujian very lost and full of a sense of crisis. Then he and Iwata Cong flew to the United States again to find out where Daqian got the chip.
