Chapter 178 Lithium battery
Amid the roar of the racing car, Ken Kutaraki reported the PlayStation configuration.
"We have adopted a dedicated CPU based on YX architecture provided by Yuanxin Technology with up to 66MHz."
"It is also equipped with the Sirius display core provided by Xinghai Technology, which supports polygon 3D and fully 2D. This core has display capabilities that are not a graphics workstation!"
"At the same time, we will also carry 3M memory, 1M video memory, and our best sound chip..."
Accompanied by Ken Kutaraki's voice, everyone was attracted by the configuration of this host.
If the game console is just based on the configuration, this game console can indeed be regarded as an epoch-making product.
The game was paused, and Ken Kutaraki looked at the people waiting in the audience and quoted the price and time for full listing.
"Next January 10, $299."
After saying that, Ken Kutaraki bowed and stepped down.
The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then began to burst into warm applause.
...
Su Yuanshan bypassed the crowd and headed towards Sony's No. 1 booth.
At this time, Ken Kutaraki was hiding behind the screen and drinking water in big mouthfuls. When he saw Su Yuanshan, he immediately waved to the employees and let Su Yuanshan go to the booth.
"Congratulations." Su Yuanshan looked back at the many software sellers and people related to the game industry who came to the front of the booth to inquire, and Kento Kutaraki.
Ken Kutaraki held Su Yuanshan's hand and kept shaking it, and finally said "Thank you" in Chinese only."
After Ken Kutaraki was invited to the provincial capital, he humbly asked Su Yuanshan how to launch the PlayStation.
You should know that there is no famous E3 game exhibition at this time. Similar TV game consoles are usually released at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January (the location is also Las Vegas). If you miss it, you will generally consider the radio and television show in April.
If you miss it again, it means that there is a problem with your development progress... you can only rely on your own channels or TV advertising to promote it.
With the joint efforts of several teams, the development progress of PlayStation was faster than expected. When it was still July, Ken Kutaraki was sure to launch the engineering prototype in October.
Ken Kutaraki's plan is to make good use of these three months to increase production capacity, attract game developers, and then wait for January next year, at the Consumer Electronics Show, and directly kill the throat with one sword.
——It was two years ago, at the Consumer Electronics Show in 1991 that Sony enthusiastically announced that it would cooperate with Nintendo, and also announced the news about CD-RoyStation. The whole body revealed a sense of happiness of finding a high-level boss with a copy.
But who expected that Sony was kicked out of the dungeon by a full-level boss before he even finished playing the dungeon.
This humiliation...Kutaraki Ken vowed to find it back.
And next January will be exactly three years.
However, when he met Su Yuanshan in August, Su Yuanshan told Ken Kutaraki that there was no need.
Now PlayStation has absolute technical advantages, and Sony has no need to hide it. Now Sony's only trouble is that as a newcomer in the gaming industry, there is no game developer to play with him.
Therefore? Sony can directly display its host at the dealer conference in October? Show off its technology and recruit partners publicly from the world.
——Lower premium than Nintendo? Lower entry threshold? Lazy review standards and no restrictions on development quantity? Plus, with the cost-effective game consoles - if they still cannot attract game developers, it is not Sony's problem.
But there is something wrong with those game developers.
Have they knelt for a long time? I can't get up anymore.
"These three months should be the most difficult months for Nintendo? They can only pray that none of the PlayStation games can become popular. Apart from that, there is no solution."
While chatting and laughing, Su Yuanshan sentenced Nintendo to death.
Ken Kutaraki smiled and shook his head: "But it may not be? After all, they are the most powerful game companies at present. They have a large number of game development teams and a large number of player bases..."
"Trust me? As long as PlayStation can be technically crushed, it will be really hard for them to turn over. Unless they can develop innovative game modes..."
In the old time and space, people all said that Final Fantasy 7 finally helped PS defeat Nintendo, but on the other hand, isn’t it that PS achieved Final Fantasy 7?
At this time, Su Yuanshan thought of WII, who fought back in later generations.
If there was no WII? I'm afraid Nintendo would really join forces with Microsoft and Sony to seal it.
But in this life... Su Yuanshan will not give Nintendo the chance to develop WII again.
"I believe in your eyes." Ken Kutaraki nodded, and at this time he glanced at the central booth? "Your beautiful president has begun."
Su Yuanshan turned around and saw Chen Jing standing on the stage? The first mobile phone with Yuanxin in his left hand was greeting with countless flashes.
"Haha? Small products? Nothing to be proud of."
Su Yuanshan said this? But he turned around and hugged his arms, his eyes falling tightly on Chen Jing.
Chen Jing introduced the various parameters of the mobile phone in fluent English, including measurements, weight, signal strength, battery life, etc.
However, as Su Yuanshan said, there is really nothing to be proud of at this time of feature phones - the biggest function is to talk, and even text messages will have to wait for several years before they become popular.
More mature products work hard on appearance, while immature products work hard to improve signal strength, battery life, etc.
In addition, Yuanxin’s mobile phone is a big show. After all, its main battlefield will be at home and abroad, and it will be mainly handed over to Xinghai to complete.
Of course, if the market recognizes it, Su Yuanshan doesn't mind selling his phone to the west.
After introducing the phone, Chen Jing raised another CPU.
The YX02, which has a streamlined instruction set architecture of up to 100MHz, can be said to be the most mature and most powerful streamlined instruction set CPU at present. Especially after Sony announced the use of the YX architecture, it attracted more attention.
"It seems that it is still a bit difficult for the CPU to streamline the instruction set to enter the market here." Su Yuanshan looked at the reaction from the audience and frowned: "These guys are really just thinking that they can only have enough..."
Ken Kutaraki glanced at Su Yuanshan and said something that only "his own people" would say: "It is difficult for any product to enter the western market now."
Su Yuanshan smiled.
The two semiconductor agreements and the appreciation of the yen have caused great pain to the Niguo semiconductor industry... They are boiling frogs in warm water, but the United States is so good that they can boil frogs in boiling water.
Su Yuanshan said: "You should be much better when you focus on consumer electronics."
The two chatted casually until Chen Jing finished the display.
Su Yuanshan suddenly asked casually: "Mr. Jiuduo, how are your mobile phones developing?"
The reason Su Yuanshan asked this is because he knew... Sony's mobile phone was released after 1995. And due to the different standards, he has always been in Ni Country.
"Hmm?" Ken Kutaraki was slightly stunned, shook his head silently and said, "It's a bit difficult."
"Then stop doing it, let's just authorize the full set of plans for you."
Ken Kutaraki was stunned again. He was not sure what Su Yuanshan suddenly wanted to authorize a mobile phone plan - simply selling it?
But he immediately realized that this was unlikely.
Because what Yuanxin lacks the most now is money, while Sony... is very short of money!
"What do you want to exchange?" asked Ken Kutaraki.
"Lithium battery." Su Yuanshan replied, paused, adding: "We are also studying lithium batteries, and maybe we have found a safer positive electrode material."
"What?" Ken Kutaraki almost bit his tongue.
Chapter completed!
