Chapter 688

Through the research and development of Hanshin 1, Ni Gong and others have mastered the internal structure and design process of the chip. The team led by them has understood the CPU design. Therefore, specialized research and development of DSP chip will get twice the result with half the effort.

Now, joint research and development with 114 institutes is certainly much better than using general-purpose CPU. With the help of Hanxin technology company, the research and development will certainly achieve the goal soon.

The director nodded: "if you can, that's great. We'll immediately transfer special personnel to form a team!"

Ni Gong nodded: "President Qin, we can also. Moreover, our next plan is to continue the research and development of several chips. For example, we only have a CPU is not enough, and there are supporting North South Bridge chips."

For a qualified computer, only a powerful processor is certainly not enough.

If a computer motherboard takes the CPU socket as the north, a connecting chip close to the CPU socket is called "north bridge chip".

Beiqiao chip is the chip closest to the CPU on the motherboard. This is mainly due to the fact that the communication between Beiqiao chip and processor is the closest, and the transmission distance is shortened in order to improve the communication performance.

North Bridge is used to process high-speed signals, usually processing the communication between CPU (processor), RAM (memory), AGP port or PCI Express, and South Bridge chip.

Nanqiao chip is located on the motherboard far below the CPU slot and in front of PCI, that is, the side in front of the mainframe. This layout takes into account that it is connected with more I / O buses and is far away from the processor, which is conducive to wiring.

Nanqiao chip is responsible for the communication between I / O buses, such as PCI bus, USB, LAN, audio controller, keyboard controller, real-time clock controller, advanced power management, etc.

Now, Hanxin No. 1 chip has been built. After having such a chip, it will be a waste if we continue to use the existing Nanbei bridge chip. Therefore, Ni Gong has also made a series of plans.

Even the CPU is available. Isn't it a little fun?

"Of course, the head office will give strong support." Qin Guan said, "if the funds are not enough, the head office can further invest in the R & D of these projects, and the head office will also support the required technology."

In terms of technology, I will exchange those technical materials, which can greatly accelerate the speed of R & D.

As long as the computer of Hanxin technology company appears, should l want to group know to work hard?

Whenever there are difficulties, as long as you tell Qin Guan, Qin Guan will come and solve them.

"We still have one last problem." then, Ni Gong continued: "it's our storage problem. Relying on floppy disks, we can't store the new operating system, and the volume of the existing hard disk is too large."

With the improvement of CPU performance, the synchronous improvement of peripheral devices and the problem of chip can be solved. Then, the last problem is how to store.

The computer l wants to use now is still a floppy disk, which is the most economical thing, but the capacity is pitifully small.

At first, the way of computer storage was magnetic drum. Later, hard disk appeared. In 1956, IBM manufactured the world's first hard disk.

The disc diameter is 24 inches, the number of discs is 50, and the weight is hundreds of kilograms, which is equivalent to the volume of two refrigerators. However, its storage capacity is only 5MB.

Although the volume is too large and the performance is inefficient, compared with the drum, the performance has developed by leaps and bounds. Since then, IBM has dominated this field.

In 73 years, IBM put forward the "Winchester / Winchester" technology and successfully developed a new hard disk IBM 3340. The hard disk has several coaxial metal disks coated with magnetic materials. They are sealed in a box with a movable magnetic head, which reads the changes of magnetic signals from the rotating disk.

This structure is very similar to the hard disk structure of later generations. It is the ancestor of the hard disk that is prone to several terabytes.

Just this year, IBM invented thin-film head technology, which can significantly reduce the distance between head and disk and increase data density. The volume of the hard disk can be further reduced, the reading and writing speed can be faster and the capacity can be larger.

For example, the first real GB hard disk with a capacity of up to 2.5Gb has finally appeared. It seems more than enough.

However, although the capacity has been increased, the volume has not changed. It is still a large device in the refrigerator, which can not be stuffed into the personal computer. At the same time, the price is also high, and it can not be used by individual users at all.

Ni Gong is in trouble in this regard. If you launch the window operating system, you have to use five or six floppy disks. It's quite cumbersome to insert these floppy disks each time you start the computer.

What about the hard drive? It's too heavy again.

Qin Guan nodded: "this is indeed a problem. However, we don't have to worry too much. We can seek international cooperation while developing our computers. Maybe we can know what is suitable for our personal computer hard disk."

Qin Guan is not worried because he remembers the history of later generations. Just next year, the company founded by two former IBM employees developed and launched the first 5.25-inch hard disk ST-506. Although the initial capacity of the hard disk is only 5MB, this is the first hard disk product for individual users.

This is the famous Seagate company in later generations. That is to say, although we are now limited to storage, it will soon be solved. It coincides with the hard disk of Seagate next year. When the operating system is developed and the control program of the hard disk is added, we can fully mature.

At that time, it will definitely be a sensation.

By the way, when Godson 1 was released, he proposed to get Godson 2 by the end of the year. Do you want to play?

Qin Guan suppressed this idea. Well, time will prove everything. He still wants to be a kind man. If l wants to go bankrupt due to poor management, he can try to buy it.

Before entering the factory for internal inspection, Qin Guan has already started to arrange many specific matters. Now, Qin Guan is in high spirits and is ready to continue to wear dust-proof clothes, but he has received new news. The delegation of David has come to the state of Han!

It is Qin Guan's bounden duty to receive the representatives of the kingdom of David. It is also Qin Guan's task to deceive the representatives of the kingdom of David. So, looking at the door of the workshop that he was about to enter, Qin Guan stopped and went back. He couldn't neglect the guests. As for the company, come back when he has time.

"After our personal computers are built, we will give priority to meeting the domestic market, especially scientific research institutions." before leaving, Qin Guan made a decision again.

L can't wait for a shot. It's famous all over the world and the price of its products is very high. Qin Guan doesn't care about these. His own products should first meet the domestic demand and contribute to the country's scientific and technological development!
