IBM did not achieve its dominant position in the personal computer era, but it did achieve the wintel alliance that influenced the fundamental pattern of the entire information technology era. Countless PC compatible manufacturers once told reporters bitterly that they could earn 100 yuan from selling a computer.

Among them, Intel took 70 yuan and Microsoft took 40 yuan.

If ARM can block IBM's PC before the wintel alliance is formally formed, the future development of computers will be uncertain. If 32-bit ARM2 is used to perform PK with the same 32-bit 80386, ARM2 will naturally be far inferior. But

If you compare it with the 16-bit 80286, it has an advantage in computing performance.

Of course, real market competition is by no means simply stacking data and adopting architecture. Compared with using CISC to design x86 architecture, it has simple and practical advantages, but it is not without its shortcomings. The biggest disadvantage of X86 architecture is its high power consumption.

From a more professional perspective, the main shortcomings of the

Wait.

Compared with the complex instruction set CISC, the ARM instruction set with RISC as the architecture system has a unified instruction format, fewer types, and fewer addressing modes. Simple instructions mean that the corresponding hardware circuits can be optimized as much as possible, thus

Improve execution speed.

The advantages of the ARM architecture are small size, low power consumption, low cost, high performance, support for Thumb (16-bit)/ARM (32-bit) dual instruction sets, good compatibility with 8-bit/16-bit devices, and extensive use of registers.

And most data operations are done in registers.

The instruction execution speed is faster, the addressing method is flexible and simple, the execution efficiency is high, and the instruction length is fixed. The processing efficiency can be improved through multi-pipeline methods. RISC architecture processors have higher memory capacity requirements due to their fast operation speed.

This is the best plan that Bai Zirui can think of to fight against Intel, the future giant. Rebirth Halo is not a panacea. He cannot create a new processor that is comparable to x86 out of thin air. As for Ding

Tian Computer Company does its own research and development, but it really doesn’t have the capability.

Bai Zirui simply learned some programming in his previous life, and was not as good as those technical experts with superior R&D capabilities. There were only a few instruction set architectures that he was familiar with in his previous life, among which the ARM architecture was the one he was most familiar with, and this was also the basis for his development of the ARM architecture.

capital.

To take a step back, it doesn't matter even if ARM still repeats the mistakes of its previous life in the competition with x86. By holding ARM in his hands, he holds the future mobile communications era in his hands, and at least he has a way out.

Bai Zirui has invested heavily in R&D and innovation. With a population base of only 5.2645 million, Xiangjiang only has two full-time universities, Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University. This is far from being able to support Dingtian Group’s investment in professional science and engineering talents, especially in R&D.

The thirst for talent.

The TRM processor research and development group is the most important topic in the semiconductor laboratory, and priority is given to funds, equipment, personnel, and space. Although Professor Yao Zhaoming is the general person in charge of the research group, Bai Zirui is actually the real leader of the laboratory.

Commander.

Bai Zirui decided to develop the ARM (Reduced Instruction Set Machine) of Dingtian Computer Company, so the name naturally had to be changed to TRM (Dingtian (Company) Reduced Instruction Set Machine).

Wanwan is an important part of the computer and semiconductor industry in the future world. Bai Zirui plans to build a research and development center in Wanwan next. Dingtian Game Company, a subsidiary of Dingtian Group, has two arcade machines, Great Wall Cube and "Tank Battle".

The profitability is super strong. The salary offered by Dingtian Group is one to two levels higher than that of similar companies. Especially for R&D personnel, the treatment given is even more generous.

Bai Zirui asked the electronic laboratory team from the integrated circuit design and computer science departments of Xiangjiang University to help write the computer-controlled CAD industrial software, which can process small machine tools that can process parts with a length, width and height of no more than 50 centimeters, with a processing accuracy of

Within a controllable range of 1 micron.

Professor Yao Zhaoming initially regarded Bai Zirui as a visionary investor, but with the contact and familiarity between the two, Bai Zirui's wonderful ideas in research and development made him feel refreshed and enlightened. He believed that Bai Zirui was a once-in-a-century person.

Technical geniuses. After all, there are not many such geniuses in the field of science and technology.

After the Spring Festival, Dingtian Group Company held its first job fair in Wanwan, a city with a population of 18 million and a well-established university education system. It hired a large number of top fresh graduates from National Taiwan University, Tsinghua University, Chengdu University and other universities to work in Xiangjiang with high salaries.

Under the research and development of the R&D team led by Professor Cen Haozhang, the first small machine tool was finally successfully developed. Bai Zirui looked at the CNC machine tool in front of him that only weighed 1.5 tons but could process 6 surfaces.

The Dingtian Group in Bai Zirui's vision will be a technology innovation company, not a sweatshop. The company's profits will not be achieved by squeezing employees' income. Giving employees more generous treatment can make everyone have a greater sense of ownership.

Be more loyal to the company and more passionate about your work.

Professor Cen Haozhang next to Bai Zirui said with joy: "Bai Sheng, the software you asked someone to write combined with my machine tool is definitely a match made in heaven. Its functions are more than what you can see. The machine tool can process at least 100 uncomplicated pieces in an hour when it is fully operated.

products. If there are 100 such machine tools, they can be worth a factory with 1,000 people."

They have developed products that are at least 10 years ahead of this era. The only drawback is that the current productivity is too low and can only be produced in laboratories. In the future, these machine tools will be used to produce computers, mobile phones and other small electronic products.

That's enough.

Bai Zirui nodded and said: "Professor, the function of machine tools is indeed very powerful, but now let alone 100 machines, we don't even have 10 machines, only 1 machine now. One lathe alone is not enough. We need to speed up the progress of CNC

Drilling machines, CNC washing machines, CNC grinders, CNC boring machines and small CNC machining centers have been developed.”

Professor Cen Haozhang said: "Bai Sheng, what you mentioned is already under development. We have a strong theoretical foundation. I will complete it within a month, but the machining center is a bit troublesome. After all, there are too many workpieces involved.

We must order on a large scale. Only in this way can we speed up the research and development progress. Bai Sheng, you need to make additional investment. The raw materials we are currently purchasing are almost used up. We can now produce about 30 machine tools."

Bai Zirui said: "Professor, I will add another US$5 million, and all personnel involved in research and development will receive an additional bonus of HK$20,000. After all the work is completed, there will be more generous bonuses waiting for everyone. How much money you can get depends on

for your contribution to this work.”

Professor Shun Haozhang's assistants cheered when they heard that each of them was awarded 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. These graduate students at the school can only get a pitiful monthly allowance. 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is more than what they received last year.
