Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Even if there is a competitor like Universal System, this is only a slight threat to them, but the threat is not particularly great.

The reason why Bill can insist on launching vista now is the cooperation of Intel.

As the two best friends in the world, the success or failure of Microsoft is also the success or failure of Intel.

The release of Vista, followed by another super cpu supporting vista.

……

"Kaifu, let me tell you, Microsoft makes mistakes sometimes, so there is no pressure now."

The sales of Vista have been sluggish, and the pressure on Universal Systems has been resolved.

Not only that.

Because the sales of vista are sluggish, it is better to launch their universal system at this time.

Although their Universal system can't be regarded as a very powerful operating system, but if they can occupy a little market at this time, they can occupy a little market.

Especially when vista is being complained by everyone, the release of the Universal System at this moment really attracts everyone's attention.

Vista is not very good, why not try Universal System.

Anyway, it is all for experience, and it is also good to experience the Universal system.

"I finally breathed a sigh of relief."

Li Kaifu nodded: "However, Vista is indeed very advanced in many places. Especially its user interface system is really very technological. At the same time, its memory management system is indeed very advanced if the hardware is not rooted. "

"So, Kaifu, we still have a long way to go in terms of the operating system."

The Universal operating system is just an operating system based on the Linux kernel.

How to say this operating system, although it can be compatible with most of the domestic applications, but there is no achievement in terms of highlights.

He is a very ordinary operating system.

The reason why some Chinese people know how to use it is because they can play Lu Ya Lu launched by Universal Technology with the Universal System.

Without this game ecology, Universal System would not be able to push it out.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, we will work hard to catch up with you."

Li Kaifu said.

"Brother Jian, there is something wrong with Microsoft's recent performance."

After communicating with Li Kaifu, Chen Yu always felt that something was wrong.

"Mr. Chen, what place are you talking about?"

"You see, the sales of vista in the market are terrible, but there seems to be no movement from Microsoft. Instead, they have increased the promotion of vista."

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhang Jianming has some doubts: "The more the sales are sluggish, the more we should promote it."

"That's the truth, but... I always feel that it's unusual."

The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more something went wrong.

In fact, regarding vista, many people in the industry are still very optimistic about vista.

Whether it's his design concept or his core strengths, it surpasses the previous windows.

The reason why Chen Yu was so calm before was because he knew that vista failed in his previous life.

At this time, it is not surprising to do it again.

But as a real party, Chen Yu felt that something was not normal about Microsoft during this period of time.

But exactly what was abnormal, Chen Yu couldn't tell.

"Mr. Chen, do you feel that something is wrong?"

"Well. However, I don't know what's wrong."

This feeling made Chen Yu very annoyed. He kept thinking about it in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

But soon, a company reminded Chen Yu.

This company is called Intel.

Of course, Intel didn't come to remind Chen Yu, they just released a message in the media.

The news is that they are developing a CPU with super performance.

And name this cpu core2, the Chinese name is Core 2.

For some reason, you might think that this is the second generation processor after the first generation of Intel Core.

Although he actually is.

However, when he saw the news from Intel, Chen Yu finally understood what was wrong with Microsoft.

Core 2.

This is not just the name of a cpu.

He also represents another milestone in the history of cpu - dual-core.

Chapter 1016: What if Intel's dual-core processor cannot be launched?

Let's talk about the development history of CPU dual-core.

As early as many years ago, IBM introduced a dual-core CPU.

However, the dual-core CPU launched by IBM at that time was too expensive, and most people could not afford it.

And at that time, such CPUs were for server-level, and ordinary people could not use them.

So by 2006, there was not much news and information about dual-core processors on the market.

However, as the overlord in the processor, Intel's release of dual-core processors is earth-shattering.

This news not only shocked the entire industry, but also shocked Chen Yu.

What shocked Chen Yu was not dual-core or not.

With the vision of decades of previous lives, let alone dual-core, quad-core, octa-core, 32-core... Chen Yu has experienced it all.

The reason why Chen Yu felt something was wrong was the impact of Intel dual-core on Vista.

After all, why vista failed.

In addition to a series of incompatibilities, the same hardware is also a reason that cannot be ignored.

It can even be said that he is one of the most important reasons.

If all computers are already dual-core at this time, will vista still fail?

Chen Yu couldn't answer this question.

But he has a hunch that if Intel and Microsoft cooperate closely in hardware, vista may not fail.

This gave Chen Yu a big danger signal.

As the person involved, facing the sudden appearance of the dual-core, Chen Yu was a little uneasy.

"Brother Jian, call the dean, Kaifu, Zhang Rujing, He Tingbo, Lin Benjian... all to the headquarters."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Chen Yu immediately gave Zhang Jianming instructions.

Intel's dual-core processors not only affect Vista, but also affect Universal Technology's processor business and semiconductor foundry business.

Immediately, Chen Yu called over all the persons in charge of the semiconductor business of Universal Technology.

"Ting Bo, you are in charge of chip design. Is the dual-core processor technology difficult?"

"It's not difficult in theory, just integrate two computing cores on one processor."

"Then how much has he promoted the main frequency?"

"Very big."

He Tingbo explained: "The chip technology has developed to the present, and some of it has actually reached the bottle shank. This has something to do with the chip manufacturing process. At present, the mainstream lithography machines in the world cannot achieve a process below 60 nanometers."

Having said that, Chen Yu looked at Lin Benjian.

Lin Benjian also said: "Mr. Chen, our wet lithography technology is being fully developed, and we have already made some breakthroughs. If everything goes well, our wet lithography process can break through the 60nm process, and even reach below 10nm. However, our process is still under study for the time being, and I expect it will take one to two years before our wet lithography process can fully mature."

After finishing speaking, Lin Benjian continued: "As the chip manufacturing process cannot break through below 60 nanometers, Intel can only use dual-core processors to increase the main frequency. However, this depends on market acceptance."

"Kaifu, you have stayed at Microsoft, do you think this time Microsoft's Vista and Intel's dual-core processors have reached a strategic agreement?"

"Mr. Chen, Microsoft and Intel have always been strategic partners, and they are the most solid strategic partners in the world. They deeply know that both are prosperous and both are prosperous. Therefore, when Vista is released, Intel will definitely Help from the sidelines. This dual-core processor, I think he has a huge driving force for improving the performance of vista."

After Li Kaifu finished speaking, Zhang Rujing, who was in charge of Center International, also said: "Intel's dual-core processors may be handed over to TSMC this time. If the promotion of dual-core processors goes smoothly, we will lag behind in the foundry technology. their generation."

Zhang Rujing's words were extremely heavy.

Originally, Center International was 2-3 generations behind TSMC, and it is quite difficult to catch up with TSMC.

This time the dual-core broke out, and it is a generation behind. It is really hard to catch up with TSMC.

"Actually, you don't have to be discouraged. Compared with the time when we had nothing, now we have opened up a great situation for the first time."

Dean Li Biqing saw that the atmosphere was not right, but said with a smile.

"The dean is right, I was the one talking nonsense just now."

Zhang Rujing said apologetically: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, no matter how big the gap with TSMC is, we will never give up."

"So are we."

He Tingbo and Lin Benjian also nodded their heads.

"it is good."

A group of people in charge expressed their opinions, and Chen Yu also had a conclusion: "High-rise buildings cannot be built in a day. As long as everyone works together, we can accomplish anything. However, Intel's dual-core processor is indeed a problem. There is no solution? For example, block the introduction of Intel's dual-core processors."

This said, everyone was astonished.

"Stopping Intel's dual-core processors?"

"how can that be?"

Several people in charge looked at each other and shook their heads inwardly.

The processor is developed by Intel, how can you prevent them from releasing it?

However, Zhang Jianming doesn't think so: "I think there are still some ways."

"Oh, brother Jian, what can you do?"

"The domestic side should be able to take some measures."

Zhang Jianming thought for a while and said: "Intel wants to launch its dual-core processor, and it needs the support of a large number of computer manufacturers. Our Universal Technology already owns Universal, Shenzhou, Tsinghua Tongfang, Founder... and other brands in the domestic PC field. Acer maintains cooperation. At critical moments, the higher-ups may also exert pressure on Lenovo. However, in foreign markets, we don’t think there is anything we can do.”

As the general manager of Huanyu Technology, Zhang Jianming's ability to coordinate the overall situation has become stronger and stronger.

In this regard, Chen Yu was also very pleased.

"Brother Jian, that's not bad, you've considered everything comprehensively."

Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, don't laugh at me. However, this is not safe at all. Although we can take certain measures in the domestic market, it also depends on the acceptance of dual-core processors in the market. If the market is fully opened , fully accepting dual-core processors, even if we want to accept them, we have nothing to do."

The whole world is one, not if you want to accept it or not.

For example, a series of computer brands controlled by Universal Technology, if other series of computers are installed with dual-core processors, yours is not installed.

Just ask, how will consumers choose?

Even if you don't want to use Intel's dual-core processor, you are forced to use it.

If you really don't want to use it, then not only can you not stop the promotion of Intel's dual-core processors, but you will also abolish your own computer business.

So sometimes, in the previous life, why did a series of domestic mobile phone companies use American chips.

It's not that they don't want to use domestic chips.

One is that there are no chips in China, and the other is not as advanced even if it is.

As for Huawei's chips, they can only be used by themselves.
