Of course Xiao Qi knew that even in 2013, ARM and Imagination Technology were basically unable to urinate in the same pot, especially in high-precision technology cooperation. Apple was basically the only exception. This was because Apple occupied ARM.

It was only through his status as a shareholder that he finally succeeded.

Oh, I forgot to mention the relationship between CPU and GPU.

CPU is the central processing unit, which is equivalent to the brain of a computer or mobile phone and is the core of computing and control.

GPU is a graphics processor that controls various images of a computer or mobile phone. If the GPU is better, the image will be smoother and the quality will be clearer. For example, when watching movies and playing games, the image will be smooth without lag.

, is an important standard for testing whether a computer or mobile phone is of high quality.

In a computer or mobile phone, both the central processing unit and the graphics processor are indispensable. In comparison, in a large computer, the central processing unit plays a greater role, and the requirements for the graphics processor are not too strict.

But it's different when you switch to a mobile phone or tablet, because their display screens are much smaller than those of computers, and all kinds of pictures and quality will be severely compressed. In this case, if you want to watch a movie

, to play games, you must have the best graphics processor. Under such top requirements, imagine that the GPU of a technology company will become as important as the CPU.

right.

You read that right, they are just as important. No matter how high the GPU is, it will never be more important than the CPU.

But to be as important as the brain is already a very honorable thing.

If you want a tablet computer with such a large screen and beautiful pictures and animation effects, you definitely need the best GPU, because paying attention to appearance is not just a Chinese patent. Foreigners can't resist electronic products with beautiful appearance.

Really good things have always been recognized by Eastern and Western cultural concepts, such as IPHONE and IPAD. With their outstanding functions and dazzling appearance, it is difficult to find someone who dislikes them - as for later Samsung and Nokia

, Motorola and others also released smart phones. After comparison, some people gradually felt that IPHONE and IPAD were not good enough.

Xiao Qi was not worried at all about Carlos' refusal.

Since Gang Leader Qiao can do it, Xiao Qi, who has two lifetimes of experience, can also do it.

"You mean, ARM is not willing to load the GPU of Imagine Technology on your CPU?" Xiao Qi looked at Carlos in surprise, "So ARM is such a company with no business ethics? When you fought against INTER, didn't you say that you

Customers can use their chips however they want, will you do your best to satisfy customers?"

Back then, ARM was beaten to a pulp by INTER. If they hadn't been ruthless and completely released their source code for others to use, I'm afraid they would have been thrown into the trash can of history like other companies crushed by INTER.

After so many years, the people at ARM have long been proud of their decision, and feel that the desperate move was the best, otherwise it would not be as prosperous as it is today.

It is precisely because of this that ARM attaches great importance to its promises and will never change them unless it is absolutely necessary to avoid being unable to behave as a human being after the news is spread.

Xiao Qi's few words left Carlos speechless. If he dared to say that he would not use the GPU from Imagine Technology Company, he would have to pack up and get out tomorrow.

But Carlos also knows that the people in the company hate the arrogance of Imagine Technology. It may not be easy for them to make major architectural changes to the GPU of Imagine Technology.

.

By the way, Imagination Technology’s GPUs do not sell technology, only finished products, or they can accept commissions to make finished products. They will not refuse customers what they use them for. Even if they are given to ARM, it doesn’t matter. They are just making money anyway.

So in fact, the main obstacle is ARM. When Apple commissioned Imagine Technology to make GPUs, it was much smoother than convincing ARM.

"I calculated it. If you follow my conditions..." Xiao Qi handed over the technical indicators he wrote, "The licensing fee you charged is about 8 million US dollars. If you add the GPU of Imagine Technology,

If you can make the microprocessor I want within two months, I can give you 10 million US dollars! And I guarantee that more than 30 million chips will be produced!"

"hiss……"

Carlos was stimulated by the numbers Xiao Qi said, and stood up immediately, "Mr. Xiao, wait a moment, I will report!"

…

Ten minutes later, four important figures from ARM's New York branch gathered in the office on the other side.

The bald one is the company's deputy general manager Fisher, sitting next to him is Carlos, the other standing is the chief technical adviser Passi, and the one sitting on the boss's chair is the general manager Redillo.

Except for Carlos, whose role is slightly lower, the other three people can be regarded as the souls of ARM America, no less than those in Silicon Valley.

Redillo and the other three were looking at Xiao Qi's architectural requirements. Most of ARM's staff were technicians and were very professional, so Redillo and Fisher also understood Xiao Qi's ideas.

Of course, the most important character is Patsy, who is wearing glasses. He is already leaning over the table, holding a pen, writing and drawing on the white paper, frowning from time to time.

"Where did this young man come from? From MIT? Or from Harvard?" Fisher also smiled bitterly and put down the data copy paper in his hand. "The requirements are really demanding, as good as anything we have seen in the past few years.

The most rigorous and high-tech microprocessor chip ever."

"That's right." Redillo also nodded, "If he wasn't from China, I really thought he was a resigned employee within ARM. How could such a targeted combination be arranged without more than ten years of electronic chip skills?

Is it so appropriate? Look at his requirements for 32-bit imported data. If the main frequency is not above 250MIPS, it will not be able to drive it at all."

Patsy, a technical geek, simply ignored the two people's conversation and continued his conjectures on combination theory.

Carlos replied thoughtfully: "The passport he presented is from China. He is only eighteen years old this year. This is the first time he has come to the United States... But hell, this guy's English is so proficient that he is better than

Americans still want Americans...and when he negotiates, he has a very calm demeanor, just like a man in his thirties or forties...All in all, I think he is a strange genius!"

"good!!"
