Chapter 71 The Invisible Hand (Please read~!)
As mentioned earlier, in 2011, the most advanced chip was 32nm - but that was only in the second half of the year.
Although this is the Marvel world, it seems that the technology of superheroes and civilian technology are completely different things——
The Osborne Group can easily create biological DNA modeling and ultra-high fidelity real-time DNA insertion models, but ordinary people still use the same old 32nm chips.
It’s impossible that Osborne is also using a super-large computer with a 32nm process, right?
It doesn't look like it.
But then again, in 2077, the chip manufacturing process is indeed extremely advanced, and it is perfectly integrated with the human body's nerves.
However, the levels of production methods are not uniform--
There is a kind of chip called "etching work chip". As long as the user installs prosthetic eyes, arms and spinal implants that are compatible with the chip, and with the appropriate equipment, the person can become a humanoid photolithography machine.
This way of working appeared during the short recovery period after the old network collapsed. People no longer had AI available, and they didn’t even dare to connect to the Internet, let alone automatic production.
This is the work that Lear learned about at Arasaka Academy. It is unclear whether the assembly line of Orbital City is like this.
But in 2011, it is more appropriate to find an OEM to produce it. This thing can make a lot of money - a lot of money.
This foundry is one of the most famous chip foundries, XMSC.
As a high-quality OEM company, they have high requirements for the client, and naturally they can understand the design drawings.
Anthony doesn't understand technology, so he can only come to Lille to talk to them about important things--
At this moment, he is studying next to Lille. He may not be technical, but he must learn the manner of conversation.
"Hello, Mr. Li, we would like to talk about your company's situation - your chips are quite advanced, but there is just a problem with your company."
It doesn't look like a serious company.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked a little older. To be honest, it was completely different from what Lille had imagined.
"Yes, as you can see, my company is like this."
Lille opened his arms calmly: "A small apartment in a slum may cover an area of just over 100 square meters.
This doesn't affect the quality of the chip though, so what are you going to talk about? Mr. Wang. "
Mr. Wang paused - he changed his mind.
He actually came here to acquire Lille's company and transform it from a foundry to a chip manufacturer.
But there seems to be only one researcher here in Lille.
"I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Li, you look very young and very talented - would you like to work in my company?"
Leal was surprised.
To be honest, this was more surprising than seeing characters like Professor Connors and Peter Parker, because this factory, which theoretically existed in the original world, should not have made such an invitation.
As a foundry, in Lille's original world, they wisely maintained a policy of neutrality and always only worked as a foundry, thus avoiding many serious problems.
And it was somewhat preserved in the subsequent war.
According to this boss, are they going to change their neutrality policy?
Lille pondered for a while and said: "Chip foundry is different from other foundries. There is no need to transform, right?"
While speaking, Lille was also quickly searching for relevant information on the Internet.
Under what circumstances will a company seek change? Change the laws of our ancestors?
Only when facing a crisis of survival.
After checking this, Lear was stunned.
Mr. Wang sighed: "We thought so before, but it's different now. We are too far behind and have no orders."
The information found by Lear is that there is a big problem with XMSC.
Needless to say, Osborne Group and Stark Industries have no idea where their chips come from.
But in other civilian fields, there are rumors that this company has been squeezed to the edge of the market by other competitors, and it seems to be deliberately targeted.
The major chip manufacturers on the market are different from what Lear remembers. They basically choose American foundries instead of XMSC.
It's like someone is behind the scenes forcing these people to choose these factories.
XMSC has suffered heavy losses recently, but a financial tycoon from New York chose to inject capital and increase its holdings——
Martin Lee from Oriental Street, New York.
This is poor management and the company needs to change its business.
Martin Lee had a lot of money, but he was not a good guy either. He could basically be seen as a replica of the Kingpin.
The water here may be deeper than Lear thought. Considering that this is a world of superheroes after all, maybe these things involve a certain super villain.
If the pressure comes from finance or even a higher level, this is not a problem that transformation can solve at all - this is just a company after all.
It seems that this money is very hot to get, so it is best to test the water first.
Thinking of this, Lille touched his chin and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you for looking up to me, but I just want to do it myself."
Mr. Wang sighed in disappointment.
Lear continued: "But don't sigh too much, I can share the patent with you at a low price, you only need to pay me in proportion.
As a fellow, I can guarantee that this price will definitely make you money.
In addition to high-performance processors, I also have SOC designs for small devices——
If you think these can save your industry, you can give it a try. If the cooperation is pleasant, we can deepen the degree of cooperation. "
Mr. Wang was startled for a moment, and then his eyebrows lit up——
Although the result is not as good as he thought, and a very strong R\u0026D team can be packaged away, it is still a good result.
"If that's the case, can we start discussing the details now? It might be a bit abrupt."
"It's not abrupt. In fact, this is what I want." After finishing speaking, Leer shouted towards the living room, "Mom! Let's have two cups of tea!"
According to future classifications, among the chips provided by Lear to XMSC, civilian-level CPUs actually include GPUs, and the integrated GPU performance is considered mid-range in this world.
The separate GPU is preparing for AI computing beyond the times——
It is feasible to build AI-assisted work in this world in the world of 2077.
High-performance AI is prepared for oneself. The former includes SOC for small devices such as mobile phones, which are all prepared to make money.
Lille currently only needs a small amount of money, and these investments are completely enough to cover Connors' current experimental expenses, and they can also see the world's reaction.
Moreover, the product promotion and sales costs are not low. If Lille were to do it themselves, they would have to rush to list the company.
inappropriate.
After a busy day, Lille sat at the dining table again, enjoying organic food that was not available in Night City.
Speaking of which, I haven't had a normal meal with Jack and V.
Maya took off her apron and sat down, and kept picking up food for Lille during the meal - it could be said that except for her appearance, there was no sense of disobedience at all.
This made Lille a little helpless - organic food is delicious, but it is not as easy to digest as specialized synthetic food.
Speaking of the sense of dissonance, my mother is from Latvia, so why didn’t she bring some Latvian customs with her?
Not to mention the decorations at home, even the food is standard oriental food.
Lille suddenly asked: "Mom, don't there any customs in Latvia? What's it like there?"
Maya's hand holding the vegetables suddenly stopped, her face full of sadness and fear.
"It's hell there. If there is any custom, it is death, and there are funerals to bid farewell to death."
After saying that, Maya grabbed Leal's hand.
"Lil, it took my mother a lifetime to escape from that hell. Now that we have the life we have today, please promise me that you will cherish your life, okay?"
Leal was stunned.
The mothers in the two lives are very similar - the only difference is that the mother in this life has a past that she doesn't want to recall.
He had never seen his mother sad.
"Of course, Mom."
