Chapter 1598 Host

Sony is actually secretly developing PSP. This is the first time Boss Jia knows about this.

But if you think about it carefully, it's almost the same.

Sony, another world, announced the news of PSP in 2003. At that time, PSP was already in the state of research and development. This is a product that cannot be produced without four or five years of hard work. So in 1999, it was very normal for Sony to start PSP projects.

However, Sony already had a gentleman's agreement with the Daqian Chuhe Hanjie. They began to establish a PSP project at this time, which was obviously very unauthentic.

On the console, after PS completely overturned the N64, Sony focused on the more profitable handheld.

After all, compared with sales, the sales of handheld consoles are actually much higher than the sales of consoles, especially the monster Qianji transformed into a monster that made Daqian become the number one leader in the gaming industry with his handheld consoles. If Sony doesn't want to eat Daqian's market, then they are not Sony.

The honeymoon period between Sony and Daqian is probably not long.

"Okay, since Sony is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!" Boss Jia said indignantly, "Kun Arakawa, the R&D tasks of our first-generation host of Daqian will be all handed over to you!"

"Yes, I'm sure to develop the best host!" Arakawa Shi immediately patted his chest and promised, but the next second, Arakawa Shi changed his mind and said, "But Chairman, the host involves some technology, and I'm afraid there are still some problems!"

"What technology?" asked Boss Jia.

"The host is not as good as the handheld machine. There are more technology required, and many technical patents are still controlled by Nintendo and Sony. We can only find ways to avoid it, so it is quite difficult... But don't worry, Chairman, I'm not complaining, I don't want to give a discount. I just want to say that our host was developed from scratch and requires a lot of R&D funds and time to overcome these problems. I hope you can understand!" Mi Arakawa used the wording carefully, for fear that Jia Yapeng would be timid.

"Well... do you think these skills are enough?" Boss Jia nodded, and then the secretary asked for a document to hand it over to Shi Narakawa. Shi Narakawa took a look and his arms couldn't help but tremble.

"Single-core Eight Cooperatives, and are based on a 70nm processor, can calculate 108GFLOPS floating-point operations in one second!"

"Nvidia specially developed GTRX1000GPU for hosts!!"

Mi Arakawa looked at the various products and data on this list. In addition, there were many technical patents that game consoles needed to use, etc. Arakawa was surprised to find that if the things on the list were all true, then Da Chi actually had a host with a performance that far exceeded PS.

Of course, a host is not just a simple configuration, but also requires comprehensive training. These require experts who have been immersed in the hosting industry for many years. For example, a host like Aarakawa can be built that completely surpasses PS.

"Wait, if Daqian already has these technical reserves, wouldn't that mean Daqian had already targeted the host market a few years ago?" Shi Arakawa's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the words he said when he encouraged Boss Jia to develop the host, his eyelids couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"Mr. Arakawa, don't think too much. Although Daqian was prepared for a long time, he was unable to make up his mind to do his best to host the market. However, with Mr. Arakawa, everything is not a problem!" Boss Jia patted Mi Arakawa on the shoulder and Mi Arakawa nodded in emotion.

"Chairman, with these things, I promise that even if PS... no, even the upcoming PS2 is irresistible in front of me. But the chairman, there is another problem, you probably have to consider it clearly!"

“What’s the problem?”

"It's the CPU production problem!" Arakawa sighed and said, "There are only a few lithography machines in the world that can be manufactured with 70nm chips. The output is pitifully small, and there are also a large number of computer equipment that are competing for the production of these chips, let alone being used on game consoles. This is really too luxurious."

"If we want to mass-produce hosts, we must find a way to get enough chips, otherwise everything will be empty talk. Moreover, such chips are too expensive, and the purchase price of a CPU alone will exceed 100 US dollars. In this way, the overall price of the host may exceed 500 US dollars. This is a market and is difficult to accept."

"I think the basic version of our game console should do its best to control the price of $399. If it exceeds this price, the sales volume will probably be very worrying!" Arakawa said truthfully, "So I suggest that we have no need to use a chip as good as 70nm. In fact, a chip with a 120nm is enough to squeeze it."

"According to my information, Sony's PS2 uses only a 140-process chip, and its floating-point computing capability is only 6.2GFLOPS. We can only have 10GFLOPS or above, which will make Sony in a mess!" said Minaku Arakawa.

"You are wrong!" Boss Jia waved his hand. "On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides understood one truth, that is, no matter what kind of opponent they face, they must use all their strength and use one knife to seal the throat. Only dead enemies are good enemies!"

"So no matter how Sony's new generation PS data is, how much strength we can have, it is necessary to kill with one blow and not give Sony any chance to turn the tables!"

"But in this way, the procurement and price of chips..."

"Don't worry, I can tell you here that no matter how much the cost of our host exceeds the standard in the future, the price of US$399 will not change. As for the production of chips, you are also worried, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it at that time, and I'm not afraid you won't have it!" Boss Jia said lightly.

"Yes..." Mi Arakawa's tone was full of suspicion. Although he was almost 100% sure that Boss Jia was bragging, he thought that this console would be launched and would have to wait two or three years. Maybe by that time, the production of 70nm chips would be greater. Daqian was not strong in the electronics industry, so he might be able to get so many chips. Mi Arakawa wouldn't say much.

Now I am working hard and preparing to get Daqian Game to log in to the console.

Well, if this kid knew that at this time, Daqian's R&D center had completed all the mass production preparations for the new generation of lithography machines. At the same time, high-tech enterprises in China and around the world have received a large order. At the same time, several mysterious factories are rising in the industrial park of Yuzhang.

At most no more than 2 years, when Daqian was able to have a 70nm chip production of more than 100,000 yuan a day at the beginning of the factory construction.
Chapter completed!
