In later generations, there is a classic question: "Why do we don't have a CPU like Intel?"

For this reason, many people mistakenly think that creating a CPU is an extremely high-end thing. It is technically impossible to be lagging behind in China for so many years.

But the actual reason is that because they left early, especially the X86 platform, had already completed the construction of the patent wall. You later will either authorize the patent or bypass other people's patent wall - this is almost impossible to accomplish.

Those CPUs that are not X86 platforms, such as Loongson, were born because they were based on the MIPS instruction set. And because the MIPS instruction set was rubbed on the desktop platform in later generations, even mothers could not recognize them. Therefore, they had no living application environment, which made it extremely difficult to go.

In this life, Su Yuanshan had to get a desktop CPU, so he had to get on the X86 car, and there was nothing else to do.

...

The car drove directly into the packaging and testing plant.

Gao Xiaodi and his technicians all stayed in Zhongxin's special performance testing department - the two were already close, and their blood relationship made the relationship between the employees of both sides very good.

"Intel is a bit disgusting." Gao Xiaodi held a CPU with a project number in his hand, and his face was full of wry smiles. He handed the CPU to Su Yuanshan and shook his head constantly: "Even if we wait for a few days, it wouldn't be too late to let us get the celebration banquet first... Now it's going to be a scheming..."

Su Yuanshan laughed, patted his shoulder, and took the CPU from his hand.

Since the test has been completed here, he is waiting to read the report, and there is no need to run the test again.

"Let's go, come into the office."

A group of people entered the office and Su Yuanshan saw that except for Gao Xiaodi, almost all the employees of the Yuanxin CPU department who came here were feeling sad.

Su Yuanshan could understand their feelings very well.

Yuanxin’s CPU team, although they have been spending money for several years, have not brought any penny to Yuanxin, just like a group of people who have been free to "play" for three years - as far as the team is concerned, they have set a record of no profit-making department - but even so, their bones are still full of pride and a sense of pride for the future.

The reason is very simple. The CPU team was organized from scratch by Su Yuanshan. Many of the elderly even "discussed" with Su Yuanshan.

The reason why the word "Discussion" is quoted is because everyone understands that the awesome Shan Zong is actually leading a group.

Yuanxin now includes the company, all cooperative units and laboratories, and there are dozens of teams under it. The only one who can enjoy such a "great" is the CPU team.

Now, I watched Yang Mingliwan be there, but unexpectedly, I looked up and was just a preparation, so I was pressed down. What's even more annoying is that I had not targeted Yuanxin yet, so I pressed down.

This kind of mood is really awkward.

"It's okay, no matter what Intel, let's run, dance." Su Yuanshan held the CPU in front of him, looked at it for a while and smiled: "We can't let them affect our good mood."

Everyone laughed, but no one could tell the dissatisfaction.

"We are not aware of the technical parameters and architecture of Intel's latest CPUs for the time being, so our response is blind. The chip industry is a little special compared to other industries. It is important to take revenge for ten years. As long as you don't stop, keep moving forward and accumulating, you will always turn over."

Su Yuanshan said something so much that everyone felt much better. So after talking about the performance of their own chips, everyone quickly guessed what technology Intel used to achieve a great surpass in less than a year.

Moreover, according to Intel's appearance of not moving and pretending to be dead for more than half a year, it is obvious that this mysterious CPU is not the second-generation Pentium series being sold on the market.

"Actually, we all tend to believe that Intel's secret weapon should be the next generation of CPUs whose technical advance team has been making breakthroughs." Gao Xiaodi discussed with several people around him and said to Su Yuanshan: "Mr. Shan, what do you mean?"

"It's almost the same. Intel has a big business and is an old chip design company. It's normal for them to adopt the model of parallel development of multiple teams." Su Yuanshan replied casually: "We have to do this in the future when we develop. A team is responsible for a generation and then spiral research and development, so that we can maintain our performance advantages."

Gao Xiaodi deeply agreed: "Well, then we can just divide a team to develop a new structure now..."

"It's still a little early, and our team is not very mature now." Su Yuanshan smiled at Gao Xiao's first smile: "Has you forgotten to bring new players?"

"Uh..." Gao Xiaodi was shocked.

After the video decoding chip was completed like a madman Li Mingliu, the team was immediately dismantled. Li Mingliu took a few people to help with the special chip design of the lithography machine, and Xiao Shouping took a few people to build a VCD factory in the Special Administrative Region. He stayed alone in Jiangdu Building. For half a year, he had been training new people. Now many of them are one of the people he recruited.

Then when the CPU team was established, he was still worried that the recruits who had no foundation were not satisfied. While maintaining high-intensity work, they were also "leading apprentices". In this situation, it was not until the CPU team moved collectively to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Yuanxin is not as profound as Intel's big business and foundation. Whether in terms of technical accumulation or talent reserve, it can only support one main team. If it is forced to split into two, it will definitely recruit a large number of people, and probably can only recruit new people...

In the field of chip design in China, it is estimated that it will take three to five years to allow graduate students who have just left school to enter the work state relatively quickly.

As for undergraduates... I'd better do some tricks.

The chores here is the real chores and only responsible for external work.

"What we can be sure about now is that Intel's new CPU must have adopted Level 2 cache technology." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and said confidently: "In addition, they have been aggressive in frequency, so it seems that the improvement is very large."

Gao Xiaodi nodded: "I just don't know if they support MMX technology. Judging from the published test projects, it seems that video decoding is not involved. If they do not support MMX, then we will feel a little better. After all, it is said that Microsoft has added optimization of the MMX instruction set to the system."

However, Su Yuanshan shook his head: "No, if we don't support it, we will feel even more uncomfortable."

"Also, Microsoft has not released a new operating system for a long time... I doubt whether these two companies have been hooked up again and are planning to create a perfect match and release the same time."

Speaking of this, Su Yuanshan couldn't help but think of Windows 95, which was released this year.

Back then, as soon as Windows 95 came out, it directly gave the Powerpc camp a single blow. Intel was not willing to fall behind, and followed closely behind, releasing high-frequency Pentium, Pentium Pro, and Pentium MMX in more than a year - this is the only CPU that puts the instruction set on the model. This shows how much Intel valued the MMX instruction set back back then.

And now, Microsoft is like a turtle, not moving at all.
