Chapter 180 The battle over processor architecture! ! !

Li Zetian handed over the Shenzhen hotel project to his father-in-law Yu Jingshan.

He himself is mainly responsible for the construction of the ant factory.

The game console of the Flamingo Company will be developed within a few months. With the power of the Flamingo game console and the classic level of the game, there is no doubt that it will be popular all over the world. By then, a factory with strong production capacity will be needed. It continuously produces game consoles, game controllers, game cartridges, ray guns, keyboards, etc.

Ant Factory currently has 200,000 square meters, which covers a large area. The Flamingo Company may not be able to use so much space. Li Zetian plans to divide Ant Factory into multiple areas. Flamingo Company will be allocated to one area, Sun Computer Systems Company will be allocated to another area, Galaxy Network Company will be allocated to one area, and Netflix Company will be allocated to another area... Obviously, development will take place later. , the area of ​​200,000 square meters of ant factory is not enough, and the factory needs to be expanded!

At present, many developed products are almost successful, and the construction of Ant Factory is imminent.

There are still many things waiting to be done, such as building factories, purchasing equipment, recruiting and training employees, etc.

Of course, Li Zetian won't do everything by himself. The group company is so big that he can just transfer some employees to be in charge of Ant Factory.

On March 7, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States.

At this moment, Michael Jackson's album has set off a craze in the United States, with astonishing sales. From the album's release on March 1 to now, in just one week, the "Thriller" album has sold 2.05 million copies, shocking major record companies. .

Almost all major entertainment newspapers in the United States are reporting on Michael Jackson.

"Hollywood Daily" reported: "'Thriller' is the first album produced by Violet Records for Michael Jackson. As soon as this album came out, it immediately swept other American record albums and topped the list!"

"Los Angeles Daily": "Violet Records has achieved impressive results, and Michael Jackson's new album "Thriller" is a huge success!"

CNN TV: "The three most popular songs in "Thriller" were all written by Chronos Li. This shows that Chronos Li's musical talent is unparalleled. It is said that 10 songs on his wife's album were also written by him. Written, are these 10 songs on the same level as the three songs in the "Thriller" album? If that's the case, that's simply terrifying!"

"..."

During this period, various Netflix rental stores across the United States are always overcrowded and their sales increase significantly. Although many people come to buy Michael Jackson's new album, they are all here, why don't they buy or rent some videos to watch?

Popular products can bring users into the store, thereby boosting the store's business. Whether it is a physical store or an online store, the principle is the same.

When Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu got off the plane, they went to Violet Records first. When Li Xueyu saw the two of them, she looked excited, "Mr. and Mrs. Li, "Thriller" is so popular, Violet Records is a hit And red!”

"Why be excited? It's nothing!" Li Zetian laughed, "When Michael Jackson's MV is completed, it will become popular! Is Jackson filming the MV now?"

"Yes." Li Xueyu nodded.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

Li Zetian and others then went to the MV shooting studio. At this moment, Jackson was filming "Billie Jean". They saw him singing and dancing on the stage. His magical dance steps made Li Zetian's blood surge, and even his body moved involuntarily to the rhythm. stand up.

Let me go, who is the best at dancing, no matter how hard it is, I will only accept Jackson! ! !

Li Zetian was amazed. The live version was ten times better than watching it on TV!

Everyone present was shocked.

After the MV shooting was completed, everyone couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded.

At this time, Jackson noticed that Li Zetian and others were coming, and immediately came over to say hello.

Li Zetian nodded and praised: "You dance very well, Jackson! As soon as the MV of this song is filmed, send it to MTV for broadcast! Try to be exposed on MTV. The higher your reputation, the more records you will sell. More of!”

With Jackson's MV, the development of the MTV television network will be accelerated!

"Yeah." Jackson nodded.

"Okay, you can continue, I won't interrupt."

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu said goodbye to them with smiles.

When he got home, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zetian made a cup of coffee, sat on a chair on the balcony and blew in the wind, resting and reading the latest magazine. At this time, he noticed an article: "In early January 1980, two scholars, Patterson and Ditzel, published a groundbreaking paper entitled "Overview of Reduced Instruction Set Computers", which comprehensively proposed the design idea of ​​reduced instruction sets. . Subsequently, a graduate student at the University of Berkeley designed the first reduced instruction set processor RISC-I based on this theoretical basis. This processor is much simpler than the CISC processor that is already quite popular today. In terms of design The effort spent is also much lower, but its overall functional performance is comparable to that of the CISC processor. Since then, the processor design direction has developed in these two major directions. One is the CISC complex instruction set processor. , one is a RISC reduced instruction set processor!"

Seeing this, Li Zetian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In the past life, the most famous CISC complex instruction set processor company was Intel, and the most famous RISC reduced instruction set processor company was ARM. x86 processors represented by Intel account for more than 90% of the personal computer market, and RISC products represented by ARM also account for more than 90% of the mobile market.

Compared with CISC, RISC's powerful charm in high-performance computers has fascinated users and the industry! For example, the graphics workstation of SGI Silicon Graphics in the previous life was based on MIPS and had superior speed; IBM's Power series was the first choice for supercomputers; and DEC's Alpha architecture processors were all representative works of RISC.

Sun Computer Systems also develops graphics workstations, and using RISC processors is the best choice! ! !

Intel's x86 architecture is based on CISC, which has many problems, including efficiency and development direction. Its performance has never been able to catch up with the top RISC processors. Therefore, Intel in the previous life has been unable to solve the problem for a long time. Reaching out to the most fertile server and supercomputer markets. However, after studying RISC with great concentration, Intel began to boldly introduce RISC design ideas into CISC-based x86, adding additional "translation layers." The external part of the CPU is still x86, but the internal operation is more similar to a streamlined RISC, so the CPU performance has been greatly improved, completing the counterattack process. Subsequently, x86 began to shine in the server market, and even began to occupy the majority of the market share, achieving the myth of CISC defeating RISC.

However, in the mobile computing market, Intel cannot replicate such a myth. The high-performance market is not very sensitive to power consumption, and performance is the most important indicator. Intel can rely on its strong R\u0026D capabilities to threaten its opponents and win. However, the mobile computing market is extremely sensitive to power consumption, and Intel has been unable to succeed in several attempts to enter. ARM is blooming everywhere in this field. From mobile phones to tablets, ARM has achieved repeated success with its ultra-high performance-power ratio...

At this time, Li Zetian threw the magazine on the table, then stood up, walked quickly into the room, and picked up the phone...

PS: I'm a little tired today. This chapter has 2,500 words. Although I only updated 4 chapters today, it has 12,000 words. I still owe one chapter, so I'll make it up tomorrow. By the way, there are already 1,053 monthly votes, and one more ticket is needed for 1,200. Everyone, please vote like crazy! In addition, don’t stop recommending votes, don’t stop! ! !
